I don't see it because it was BLACKS who pushed for the higher prison sentences during the crack era, and that hurt us to this day. Instead of us thinking with some logic, we get emotional, and see only the bad in things we don't agree with, and it always hurt us. Or we just live day to day, and do things that feel good, only to have it hurt us in the long run also. We need to learn to quesiton things based on what is being questioned. We tend to put everything in one big pot, and say its either good or bad. That is not how life works. Whites, and other groups do it too, but when it comes to whites, they have enough people in their groups who do separate things, and deal with each accordingly. This helps them move up in life because these types of people bring awareness to things that may have not been observed, and could have hurt everyone. We need to learn this.
I think for some reason when things feel good to us, we either hate it or love it. When we do love it, we still see it as something taboo. I think it comes from our extremely religious culture, and we tend to follow whites who are conservative. So that means if these whites think one thing, we tend to do the same thing, even when it hurts us. I hate to say it but too many blacks, and latins, don't see the world in our eyes, we see it in the eyes of white conservatives. The only time we do see things with our own perspective is when we are treated wrong or when its to do with music. These things require moving as one to work properly. Everything else we are copying white conservatives. This is why we are so divided, and never can get things to lift off, and if it does, to stay that way. We are always arguing about things that need to have an answer to work.
