The burning buildings, smashed police cars and scuffles between police officers and angry protesters on Milwaukee’s north side over the weekend might have seemed like a spontaneous eruption.
But for many in the city’s marginalized black community, it was an explosive release decades in the making.
Milwaukee is one of the United States’ most segregated cities, where black men are incarcerated or unemployed at some of the highest rates in the country, and where the difference in poverty between black and white residents is about one and a half times the national average. There are barren lots and worn-down homes all over the predominantly black north side, while mostly white crowds traffic through the restaurants and boutiques downtown, or inhabit the glossy lakefront high rises.
Add to that the disrespect that many black people say the police show them, and many of Milwaukee’s African-American residents are unsurprised by the volatile response after a police officer fatally shot a black man on Saturday — even though, as it turns out, the officer also was black.
“This isn’t just, ‘Oh, my gosh, all of a sudden this happened,’” said Sharlen Moore, 39, who lives in Sherman Park, the mostly African-American neighborhood where the shooting and unrest occurred. “It’s a series of things that has happened over a period of time. And right now you shake a soda bottle and you open the top and it explodes, and this is what it is.”
Milwaukee, a city of nearly 600,000, joins other embattled parts of the country like Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo., where police killings did not so much draw outrage for the deaths alone, but for the systemic problems that have so many black people feeling hopeless.

They should bleach their skin like Michael Jackson. That is the easiest way for them to get on easy street. Bleach the skin white and enjoy all that white privilege.
The article mentions decaying houses and buildings, meaning there once WAS a thriving city. But, as business owners started losing money due to bad customers, bad employees, and ultimately bad neighborhoods - THEY MOVED!
No business just up and moves because it’s Tuesday! They leave because the cultural decay and failure of the city PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS!
No one wants to admit this! No one wants to say this!
Everyone on the Liberal left want to blame this on something and someone OTHER than the truth: the people in that city brought it on themselves through their actions and/or in-actions - PERIOD!
Simple solutions it’s obvious no one within the black community has thought of applying:
1 - stop breeding like animals.
2 - Value and respect life. Stop aborting your progeny.
3 - support FAMILY, not breeders. Put the shame back into fatherless “families” (if there’s no dad, there’s no family).
4 - Foster attitudes of self-reliance, individual responsibility and accountability. You did it, no one’s to blame but your self.
5 - If stopped by a police officer, be polite.
6 - kick disruptive “students” out of school so the real scholars can learn. Where to send them? Farms, labor camps, prisons, military service used to be common solutions for these antisocial types..
You’re welcome.
I believe you’re right.
Yep. You got that right.
