And? My mother was alive during segregation, does that mean it just happened?
Change happens, you either embrace the change and move on or you can limit yourself by living in the past.

I'm full up on my stalker card. I may be able to squeeze you in sometime around 2028 depending on appeals.
My neighborhood is middle-ish class (~1,500sqft @ ~$250k). Neighbors both to the left, right and across the street are all older black women with grown kids no longer living at home. In our 40-ish home "immediate" neighborhood, I would guess probably 15-20 are non-white (with most of those being black).

Ignoring historical limitations placed on populations while blaming them for essentially being feral in modern contexts is not really embracing change. That’s just scapegoating.

Are you comfortable sharing what part of town?
I guess you’ll have to uber to my house when we carpool up to DC for the oral arguments in the Clerk of Court case.

Quite the opposite. The scapegoating is the blaming the actions of one on events which happened to others (where in some cases they didn't know, nor even know of, one another) and/or those who caused those events and then passing the responsibility for those events to others based on nothing more than genetics.
Feral behavior is a personal choice. While kids can be excused for having poor role models, as they grow into adulthood their lack of self-awareness becomes more their own failings in refusing to change and just cloaking that refusal in the victimhood stolen from prior generations.

No. Just because you and I can have civil conversations, it doesn't mean everyone perusing these threads is able to do so. I'm not interested in becoming a news story about some fricknut coming to my house to raise hell over something they disagree with me about. We have a nice, quiet neighborhood and I want to keep it that way.

Might I recommend the Tesla Robotaxi? The wife and I rode in one in Austin a couple of weekends ago, it was my first time in a self-driving car (much less one which doesn't even have human controls like pedals or a steering wheel) and it felt strangely natural.

It’s not blaming. A population who was systematically brutalized and excluded for hundreds of years is going to experience residual effects of that brutalization and exclusion. Acknowledging that isn’t holding anyone personally responsible for that brutalization and exclusion. It’s just using common sense.

We got an EV a couple of months ago that we really like, though. It requires a human driver (unfortunately?).

I just want folks to stop shooting random innocent bystanders, stealing anything not tied down, and being violent at public schools. Can we please stop excusing anti-societal behavior and punish/remove anyone who cannot act civilized? If the issue is prison space, build bigger prisons. I don’t give a f$&k anymore. There are no more excuses. I don’t care what color you are, it should never be excusable to be violent towards innocent people.

What is your response to a statement like things weren't as bad 30 years ago? And the country was moving in a better direction than today? That leadership of the Dem Party, BLM, racebaiters (which includes Obama) and the development of suicidal empathy by people like yourself have set us back and not lead us forward?
The reality is that this building of friction is recent. And on purpose.

I knew, just KNEW that this thread was going to have the stink of a ridiculous 4cubbies take or two.

It's textbook blaming and you're abetting it. You didn't bring it up as an acknowledgement, in this thread you brought it up as a root cause, blaming "feral" behavior on those past actions. Saying a behavior is the result of something is the very definition of blaming that something.
Now if it were the actual individuals who had been brutalized and we were holding the brutalizers to account, absolutely. But that's not what happens when this comes up, what happens is exactly what you did and that is to use past injustices to one to excuse the current behaviors of others.

Really? I did not know they had made it to New Orleans yet. I haven't ridden in one, but if it's as nice and easy as the robotaxi, that tech will replace Uber/Lyft/taxis within the next 10-20 years (if the technology keeps moving at its current pace). Hell, if they were to get the geofencing and laws set here I might buy one just to drive me back and forth between home and work.
