its just poverty in the inner city…nothing more or less.
But how did that poverty occur? It didn't just happen out of nowhere.
What people always fail to admit is that Black people have been systematically prevented from acquiring wealth anywhere. That's why I say after slavery shyt got more fukked up.
You don't think the average Black person wasn't trying to rebuild his/her life? When Black people got free, they were ecstatic at owning land and making something of themselves. Then comes Jim Crow, Ku Klux, raids on businesses and a host of pure fukkery. Then after 'integration', Black people still don't have access to jobs. and affirmative action does more to employ White women than any other minority.
Poverty is systematic. It doesn't just show up. And poverty is THE most potent part of racism (after that, it's law enforcement). You take poverty away, racism collapses overnight.
