"Blacks are much crueler to EACH OTHER than they are to people from other races.In my very diverse city 80%of the murderers are black as are 80% of the victims.Most school fights are INTRA racial,many of these among Latino gang members.The white and Asain kids are pretty much ignored.
Of course,I live in California and this reality may not reflect the rest of the country."
Your experience is 180 degrees different than mine. Most blacks will attack the whites (often with immunity from the teaching staff). I have personally seen it on many occassions. Also FBI statistics dont back up what your saying - most violent crimes committed by one race against another race are by blacks committed against whites.
That's true ... but the greater number by far is by black on black.
I take encouragement from several things.
One, the number of black kids I see in Christian, and Catholic schools and the involvement of their parents in the schools.
Two. My wife is a charge nurse in a nursing home. Just about all of her aids are black. That's very hard work at relatively low pay. Many of these women are squeezing enough money out of their meager paychecks to send their kids to private schools. Some of these women are doing it for their grandchildren.
Three. I attended an inner city (changing) school. I had some bad (racial) experiences but also many good ones. About 25% of the school population was black, about 25% Jewish and the rest mutts like me. We had our 50th reunion last year and as with all previous ones (we had one at least every 10 years, sometimes 5) we showed up in the usual great numbers and enjoyed one another tremendously, as always.
What's the difference, then vs. now?
IMHO, (1) an infinitely better education system and, (2) the country had not yet been culturally despoiled by Lyndon Baines Johnson and his minions.
