Are Blacks today taking advantage of the rights people sacrificed to get for them?
Thread 2 of 2.
What I'm doing may be controversial and again i'm not trying to incite but to en-light and be enlightened, especially today.
My post:
There are things that I see that disturb me. Like last year, the murder rate in the city I live in, Boston, was at a 10 year high. The total amount of people killed was 75. in 1995 it was 96. On Jan. 1 the Boston Herald had the pictures of all 75 faces and how they died and when. Most of the victims were Black.
As I walk around or on the train I'm always observant, watching people while still living my life. And I see some not all some of the attitudes some Blacks have towards authority or just law in general.
I think to myself that this disregard of life or law is illogical. Blacks have more opportunities now more than ever. They now have access to anything white people have access to in the United States on behalf of other blacks giving up their lives earlier on so that they could have these wonderful oppertunities.
In America, the Black on Black crime rate is high. The H.S./College dropout rate amoung Blacks is high, the young pregnancy rate among Black teens is high as well as the fatherless crises and more! And it's like how the f*** can this be. It depresses me.
It kills me to the point of near tears for me to see such a talented group of smart individuals will not take advantage of the resourses they were denied before just based on skin color. This doesn't go to all Blacks, just the ones who are ignorant but at the same time know they have every chance to succeed now.
