See, I don't believe that. I blame decades of race baiters stirring things up. I blame liberal policies that have destroyed black (and other races) families. I blame the glorification of the gang lifestyle. I blame lenient laws that fail to hold people accountable.
It would be great to see black 'leaders' focusing on how civilized people are supposed to act. I would love to see them preach accountability instead of blaming it on things like 'white privilege'. There are a few who do this, but they don't usually grab the headlines. And to be honest, the Democrat party prefers them to be perpetually stirred up, as it keeps them on reservation.
I don't believe it either. I went to high school with blacks in the late 70s early 80s in Cow Town USA in California. All of them in Section 8 housing, intact families, church going, sociable and incidentally very funny. I liked them and they liked me. I don't remember a single racial incident between the races then either.
Something has changed in the culture.
