When you are about to get mugged or murdered, it doesn't matter what caused it. You just don't want to be murdered. I can feel pity with people whose life circumstances turned them into criminals, but I have no immediate way to help them and I still don't want them to murder me.
Black people are also a part of society, they are not just passive participants, by the way.
I have read a bit about the situation in the UK, and it seems a major problem is gang culture. The "stop and search" strategy is actually a measure against gang activity, not simply a racist pastime. Whether it is the best approach can be discussed, but people should come up with better strategies to prevent gang crimes and people growing up to be drafted into gangs, not simply cry "racism".
Maybe "white people" somehow caused gang culture to appear (maybe!), but now that it exists, it is not so simple to get rid off, and imo also too simplistic to say "white people are to blame, so they should fix it". There are a zillion problems in the world. Even white people were not put on earth with silver spoons in their mouths. If you see a problem you care about, work on improving it. Blaming white people does nothing (except harm).
I think there are more black people in the US than people live in Switzerland, for example. If everything else is so racist, they could work together and build their own black subcountry with better services. Like they could offer health care to their black peers. No need to wait for white people to provide it.
- myWindoonn 5y agoYou created an account just to post a story about how you're scared of black people. Boring.
- horrified 5y agoYour only reply is an ad hominem and misrepresentation of what I said. It is not about being scared of black people. It wasn't the subject, but if anything, it seems black people are scared of white people. Isn't that what BLM is all about? It is literally about Black people being scared of being shot by white policemen.
