Back in 2002, or maybe 2003, the creator of The Boondocks said "They don't care, and it's your fault" so eloquently, that the audience he was speaking to didn't even speak up and disagree, they just got angry that he hit the nail on the head so hard that it drove the nail back into the wood.
Why do I bring that up? Aaron made a great point.
People, in this example I bring up, white people, are tired of hearing about your struggle and your plight. Your moral currency has run out. If we have to watch you get all the gimmies and have it all, and yet have to hear about how horrible you have it, while most of us are just in worse shape... We don't want to hear it anymore. But more importantly, we don't care anymore.
So if I have to hear about how we're not doing enough for you, while you don't give a rat's ass about anyone that isn't you? Yeah, you can forget that shit real quick.

Like a lot of trailblazers he was completely correct, just well ahead of his time.
