Black People - Stop Blaming Racism, Take Responsibility

[Mudhammam]

Right, and it's the same point I highlighted about 10 pages ago.

Whether you find it inexcusable or not doesn't really matter (for what it's worth, I agree, it is pretty inexcusable), what matters is that, whether people like it or not, prejudices are going to be enforced with this kind of shit.

That's what people need to get into their heads. Instead of saying "our situation is bad, let's make it worse", say "our situation is bad, what can we do to make it better?".

In my view changing some of the attitudes in black communities is one way of making things better. Rioting only makes shit worse.

I don't know if this is really going to affect prejudices so much, but it's definitely making people pay attention. A few more riots that hit where it counts---monetary investments---might actually cause shit to get done about the structural inequalities poor communities confront. At least let's hope so because polling booths sure as hell won't.
