The separateness you sense is cultural and corrosive. There is considerable indoctrination and a dehumanizing echo in the black community—black lives matter but not when killed by each other, etc. It’s both an overreaction to past wrongs and an exercise in profiteering on misery. It’s an echo of the plantation mindset. Blacks are taught from early days they are victims and unable to thrive on their own, can only get by through the kindness of a benevolent government or resorting to crime. There’s huge profit and political power in pitting people against one another. The shadow of slavery and Jim Crow is alive and well in the Democrat Party but these days it’s a trojan horse, dressed up in the deception of visibility, respect, BLM & wokeness. Evil wearing a seductive face has a long history with humanity.
