It may sound racist, but I think that the black community keeps itself in a constant state of disadvantage. People can blame the “war on drugs” or being less privileged, but I think that the black community encourages being lower on the totem pole.
Take rap music for example; drugs, violence, and lack of respect for women are overwhelming. How is a twelve year old black child going to listen to that and not grow up thinking there’s any other life out there for them.
Another thing to focus on is attitude. More often than not, it seems (and this may be strictly related to specific areas in every town) that black youths are far too loud and aggressive in every aspect of living. I, as a white person, will do all I can to avoid crowds of young black men. I don’t think of this as racism though; while it is a learned habit, it was taught to me by the very people I work so hard to avoid.
Am I wrong?
