I wish she would read the comments here. If she really wants to help that community, some very hard realities need to be explained. As in, shut up and listen. As in, stop the claims of racism - this is on YOU. . There needs to be some actions taken and behaviors changed within the community itself. Actions that require hard work and person discipline.
Throwing money at this, crying racism, altering the normal rule of law, etc is not the answer.
She knows. But to write that type of article she has to pretend she doesn’t know.
Back in the 90s I had a black supervisor who had occasion to take disciplinary action on a black female in my department. After he completed the disciplinary action she went around calling him a racist for weeks....a black woman accusing a black man of being racist.....it was at that point I realized that a black accusing anyone of racism is nothing more than an attempt to gain leverage and secure a particular outcome in any given situation.
That word and accusation has meant nothing to me since.
“Throwing money at this, crying racism, altering the normal rule of law, etc is not the answer”
agreed
I’m thinking all that is what caused the problem to begin with.
