Yes, New Orleans has a lot of criminals and has done a poor job of controlling them, but the truth is that crime flourishes amongst blacks in part because they tolerate it, and they tolerate it because they see it as a revolt against white America. Here is a dirty little secret that most Americans don't know: the majority of reported black violence over the last few decades has been directed at whites. Articles like this, whose message is just "it's the criminals" are politically correct averting of the eyes from the deeper issues. What you're seeing in New Orleans is the real face of multiculturalism when authority breaks down.
A few month's ago I posted the following reply on a thread here:
Exactly. There has been a lot of loose talk about America being an empire, it is an empire, but an internal one, a culture-less collection of disparate peoples held together by force and money, and when the money gives out, people will be stunned by how quickly it all falls apart.
And got the following resonse:
A bit harsh don't you think. America does have a distinctive culture and national identity forged through its institutions, laws, people, history, and the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. I don't buy your premise that America is held together by force and money.
"Here is a dirty little secret that most Americans don't know: the majority of reported black violence over the last few decades has been directed at whites."
I had not heard that. Any source for your statement?
