Where's the outrage over the daily black on black violent crimes in America?

Why is this difficult for white people to understand?
Minority groups band together. It has always been that way and always will be.

If they put this much effort into addressing their own problems by removing the racial element out of the equation, the country would be much better off.

Black people think the country is well enough off for white people already.

Look, I'm anti-Jesse jackson and his ilk, and I believe our country is seriously weakened by this racial strife, but it's ridiculous to pretend that we don't understand how the black community could be the way they are.

And do YOU trust cops? If they came in your neighborhood and killed a young man when they could easily have not killed him, would you be cool with that? What if, at least in your mind, that sort of thing had been happening fairly regularly for as long as anyone could remember?
Cops have given "ghettos" plenty of reason to mistrust them, just like the cops have plenty of reason to distrust the ghetto.

There are no easy solutions, but certainly the solution isn't to act like things will get better by us preaching personal responsibility and acting like we don't understand.
