and while i may not agree with Adam about not helping black americans
I think we are at a place where they need to help themselves before any more help is given. Because on a societal level, we have been doing the equivalent of letting our junkie uncle back into our house over and over when he just steals our VCR and runs off to sell it for heroin. Infinite empathy and help means nothing if they don't want to help themselves.
Which the entire BLM movement proved, the majority don't. Meaning all the help we give them is not just wasted, but disrespected.
Exactly. Especially as I managed to escape the same shithole of poverty, crime, and all around ghetto shit they did with simple effort. It cannot be explained enough how easy it is to not be a ghetto rat, and yet they pretend its some herculean effort that requires outside intervention and shit tons of money.
I'm from an area of the US that is commonly 40%+ black. In almost all cases, offering help is how you get beaten, robbed, or raped. I remember numerous cases of people literally trying to rescue people trapped in New Orleans from Katrina, only to be robbed and thrown out of their own boats in open water.
You learn from an early age that simply interacting in general is a risky proposition, because of how quickly it can turn into a horror show. Even talking to a lost child will have a screaming woman appear from the ether and suddenly a sucker punch to the back your head simply for existing while white near them. An event that specifically happened to a cousin of mine.
There is no amount of help that can be offered to fix that. Even more so, there is no amount of help that is deserved for a people who act that way in enough cases to turn entire towns and neighborhoods into literal no-go zones.
Yeah, the South is still mostly segregated for a reason. Its not done by law, but by people who could only live if we had "our side of town and your side." Even my high school, which was integrated had a white and black half. And if you went on the black half while white, you got in trouble for getting jumped because you were instigating.
Its not something that can be solved from outside, the cycle of violence and hate needs to be stopped from within. Whites managed to mostly do it, and now its being undone because the otherside didn't.

Yep. I'm not in favor of pissing away money into a group that hates me and wants me dead, especially when it's pissed away on crime/drugs/hookers/etc.

So when said junkie uncle refuses to help himself, how do we go about locking him out of the house?
