Why are we so comfortable disrespecting black majority areas?

[JasoRockStar]

This is spurned from the goofy ass Atlanta thread, but it's a common refrain I tend to see. Whether it's a black majority city, state or country, why are people so quick to call them backwards, shytholes or just diss them in general?

Detroit, Atlanta, New York, Mississippi, African countries period, and more get slandered on the daily and it's usually by folks who haven't even stepped foot in these places too.

Every one of them have rich histories and have birthed black icons, but folks always coming with some corny, outdated stereotypes.

Self hatred and black facing cacs

Lot of people don't travel, don't read, and have no colleagues/friends in other places.

They base their views about different places from news coverage and youtube videos.

The thing is, national news media generally only cover those places when something goes wrong, so the uninformed can get a very skewed picture of that location.

This is true, but can we still excuse the ignorance in 2022? With the rise of social media, we're able to get perspectives from people all over the world, not just rely on MSM. They're from these places, telling their stories, showing the positive parts and teaching their history.

People's natural tendencies and inclinations don't change,,regardless of whether they have access to information or not.

That's why I mentioned "not reading" as the 2nd reason.

The infected often think being wilfully ignorant is a point of pride.

Semantics. The black population in New York is larger than some states, countries even.
