The first thing a black family does in Memphis when a tree drops leaves on their car and yard is to cut down that tree.
Unfortunately, that seems to be becoming normal for everyone in the US.
My family were flippers before it was a trend. Not just inside, I wound up doing more than my share in landscaping. Some of the properties already had some beautiful mature trees, we added more. Some of those also had developed impressively.
Go around and visit those now. Everything is torn out. Landscaping totally deleted for just a blank patch of weed grass. Every tree cut down. The same boring Walmart welfare shrubs that we tore out are now replaced along the foundations of the houses.
Its not just our old houses in those neighborhoods. Its not just stands of elms or ashes or something that are missing. Its entirely areas denuded, east bloc central planning style.
It started before cable and video games. It seems as though when people stop leaving town and men try to buy their masculinity by having the right game shirt and the right kind of light beer that they just dont know any better and dont teach their offspring any better.
Natural, what might be assumed to be innate and instinctual, things seem to disappear from a creatures interest and understanding if they arent introduced to at least the opportunities when young. My chickens are let out to wander freely as soon as possible and quickly learn to feed themselves without my input. They would prefer I just leave them the hell alone. Over the years Ive gotten or taken care of other peoples flocks. Do you know that when given the opportunity, those that have been kept in cages and fed crumbles will stand in a field and not know that the seeds and bugs around them are food?
Piss poor role models for fathers and a tendency for hive dwelling likely has more to do with the phenomena than relative melanin enhancement.
