Milwalkee riots

That I agree with however, you cannot blame the white population for what is happening to the black population today. If there is economic inequality today, then get a job, but to get a job, you need an education, and to get an education, you want to have the desire to succeed. If you don't take that opportunity, then it is not the states fault, it is your families fault for not pushing you to do better instead of playing truant or whatever.

And this is why everyone is calling you racist.  You imply that income inequality is simply a matter of work ethic, but given that black people have a higher poverty rate compared to other races, you're essentially saying that black people are lazier than everyone else.

Also, telling poor people to simply get an education so they can get a job shows you're completely ignorant of how abysmal the education systems are in the inner-cities here in the U.S.  The graduation rate in many cities is extremely low, and for the ones that do graduate, the quality of the education is so bad that they lack the basic skills that most people take for granted.  Well, guess whose fault it is that the education quality is so poor that it perpetuates the cycle of poverty?  Oh, yeah, the state's.

And finally, for those who are being accused of racism but claim they are not, ask yourself one simple question.  Why do you feel the need to show up in every thread about racial inequality and minimize the problem while simultaneously laying the blame on the victims of said inequality?

I don't what people call me, I don't even think bella or paul are too bothered either. I don't live in the United States so, it is not my problem so, you are right, I shouldn't be here giving an opinion, because it is called sticking your nose into other peoples business. Do you know why they have a higher poverty rate compared to other races, find that out, and you might learn something about work ethic. Ask anyone who owns a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, a Korean restaurant, a martial art class or even police personnel. They do it because they went to America with nothing and they want to give back to society. They also have families to provide for, bills to pay, and god knows what else. They know about family unity and its very rare to see Indian women or Chinese women who are single parents. Learn a little about Chinese culture or Indian culture, and you might learn something. They are the last bastions of what we call traditional family values. If you don't have them, then what do you have left. Single mothers bringing up children on very little money from the state because the fathers have left them for someone else. I don't feel sorry for the fathers, I feel sorry for the single parents in the black community. I feel sorry for the children who don't know the word 'stability", and family unity. What you see in the fresh prince of bel air or the cosby show is not reality for a majority, and to be honets, the communities have to start something without the need to resort to violence. They should try and help each other in times of need. It clearly is a mess and no-one wants to take them in hand and say "if we can work together, we can make America proud of this community." That is my opinion anyway, with organisation they can help the single mothers get a foothold onto the ladder and climb out of the vicious circle.
That is my last message in this thread but I have my position clear.
