I'm not asking you to "buy" into any thing..I'm stating HISTORY..and as NASTY as it sounds..it's the truth. Also..if you say.." whitey did it" its from YOUR typed fingers.. I'm pointing at the sorce..and the RESULTS of that.It was the OLD WAY of Thinking that created that mess...and its the NEW WAY that brought us out of it... I am not sugar coating what happened,nor am I stating that the residents were INNOCENT... But if you place a certain number of people in a depressed situation..and do your damnest to KEEP THEM THERE..what do you think would happen? I'm mean look at the facts..the DRUG RAGE NEVER hit WHITE neighborhoods like it did other sections of the city..AND only when it FINALLY TRICKLED in did the city government want to do something about it. Yes,I'm saying that "whitey" had PLENTY to do with what was going on..because they CONTROLLED EVERY FACET OF LIFE in those neighborhoods..from the home they lived in..to the schools they attended..to the MARKETS THEY SHOPPED...to the drugs that invaded to destroy. So whether you "buy it" or not..matters very little..because its HISTORY...and nothing can change it. And Ill repeat what I said about the POLICE... They did NOTHING to SOLVE the problem..did NOTHING to help EASE the problem..only added to it by stopping every single person around thinking they were dealers/users...some even went as far as "shakin down dealers..and using the drugs themselves! Do I lie? Certainly not.. My brother in law is a COP..and has been one for 20plus years. He told use the stories...and I [have seen some of that crap first hand ..believe him]..that why he' was able to come thur the 80's and 90's with his skin still intact..[not to mention being heavy into church and being saved].. Nobody is perfect..and anywhere and everywhere you go,you'll see that most people tend to think and do likewise. Your "Black On Black Crime POINT making" remark..Yes..crime HAPPENS..its part of what MAKES a city a city... You still have your knuckle heads walking around with a need to prove something to themselves..and its a shame. But I don't see life with a hardboiled outlook such as yourself..and from the feel of it,You are hoping something goes goes wrong..so you can toot you horn. I feel for you..but really don't care. GET a grip... |
