I do not hate lawbiding citizens but I do hate crime. I live in a city with a large black population and a huge crime rate. I do not want this taken as a white black issue but rather a social issue. When will someone make a documentary showing the truth about crime and its effects on neighborhoods and businesses.
So bottom line is it true or false that most of our crime - percentage wise speaking -is from the black community and if yes why.
Past transgressions of the white community leading to a you owe me, pay back time. Maybe.
Poor needing more and feeling helpless - Maybe. And if poor why would this community be poor, certainly not because the white community is holding them back in a black majority city - so.
So many hard question but maybe the most important subject facing our country internally that I can think about.
Someone with more skill than I - leaves a lot of people, smile - needs to address this issue.
People are dying, fairly new malls are closing, no one is safe or at least the feeling of safety is gone.
Neighborhoods that were white and because of white flight go to high crime and business closures when taken by the black community.
How do we stop this from happening. The black community has everything to gain just on the surface home values would rise if this crime trend could be halted.
Please some great writer step up and take this issue on.
Save the country,
MG
