Black people are too intent on holding on to wrongdoings from the past. Therefore, they keep blaming someone else for their problems.
The list of wrongs done to Black people throughout their history in the U.S. that are still resonating in their lives today is extensive and extremely disturbing. As a result of hundreds of years of subjugation in an oppressive, racist system, Black households have one-tenth the wealth of white households in this country. While the Civil Rights Era enabled African-Americans to make great advances in the past 40 years — achieving high school, college and post-graduate degrees at accelerating rates — the disparities are still enormous and will take many generations to overcome without direct intervention. And by the way, the leveling of the playing field helps white people by enabling previously disadvantaged citizens to contribute to the nation’s economy to the full extent of their potential.
If Blacks weren’t committing so much crime, they wouldn’t get so much attention from police.
The common impulse of whites has always been to blame Blacks for pathologies that whites played a central role in creating. Criminologist Charles Silberman wrote in 1978 that “it would be hard to imagine an environment better calculated to evoke violence than the one in which black Americans have lived.” Pretending Black crime is a Black-created problem is like pretending New Orleans never got hit by a hurricane. Since the epidemic of unarmed Blacks being killed by police comes not when Black crime is high but when it is at its lowest level in generations, this argument that police are in Black communities because of the prevalence of crime appears not to be substantiated by the facts. Homicides committed by African-Americans declined by half between 1991 and 2008....

Uhhh, the Civil Rights Era was in the works long before, but gained the force of Federal law with President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R-Texas), the first U.S. President to propose and sign racial civil rights legislation since the Reconstruction era immediately after the Civll War. During Eisenhower's first term, which began in 1953, he forced through the integration of the services over the objections of high-ranking military officers. He proposed the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960 to Congress and signed them into law over the objections of Democrats. Also in 1957 he sent the 101st Airborne into Little Rock, Arkansas to implement the integration of the all-white high school over the objections of Arkansas' Democrat Governor, Orval Faubus.
2015 minus 1957 equals 58 years, not 40 — a difference of 18 years — an entire generation. And 2015 minus 1953 equals 62 years, a difference of 22 years — almost old enough to become an out-of-wedlock grandparent.
The black inner-cities were plenty violent before LBJ’s Great Society were spawned. Violence from the Black Underclass has been a huge problem since blacks migrated north in large numbers during and after WWII. LBJ’s programs didn’t help. But the problem was already there.

I wonder if he's cheating and using TOTAL wealth rather than per capita. With blacks at one-tenth of the population, whites WOULD have ten (or at least nine) times the wealth.
And besides, if Deshuvius be a criminal, removing his influence on little Deshawnte is probably a benefit rather than a drawback.
A mind is a terrible thing.
It’s always easier to blame others for your problems than to conduct a thorough self examination for the causes.
