Miamilawyer -“I agree that there is a subculture that perpetuates issues but the larger question is why does that subculture not change, or why is it so slow to change?”
The answer I believe in – is that they don’t want to change!
Like I posted previously -“ghetto blacks tolerate gangs, it’s not ostracized like in the white community!”
Now why do you think that this is?
I think that this is because a lot of people in the black community, even the law abiding ones, don’t believe in personal responsibility for whatever reason. Also they have strong feelings towards family members, where the gang members come from. This takes precedence over societal concerns!
You posted -“There is no question that police officers do not react the same way to blacks as they do to whites. Whites are cut far more slack and blacks are often treated outrageously, sometimes to the point of improper murder by police.”
Now you know the reason why they are treated differently!
It’s common sense!
Now we have politicians who won’t admit these culture differences, from the president on down, who portray that this is based on discrimination.
I was always taught, when you point a finger at s/o, 4 point back at you! There are a lot of liberals in this country, that are easily fooled!
