No Responsibility for Your Own Decisions
"The 57-year-old Compton, California construction worker has seen and endured too much, she says, to be excited. Over the years, five members of her family have been killed by guns: her two brothers, at the ages of 28 and 38; her nephew, at 19; her niece, at 16; and her niece's mother, at 28. All of them had dropped out of school in their teens.
"We never felt like we were allowed near normal life," said White, speaking from the tidy, two-story home she purchased last year in the struggling suburb south of Los Angeles."
Dear person, you and your family have done nothing "normal" that is why you find yourself outside of what you consider a "normal" life. Most people finish school, most people move away from places that have absurd violence, even if they have little money. You and yours have chosen (apparently for generations) to stay. It isn't America's job (and frankly based on your opinion, white americas job) to fix this for you. Try actually moving away from a bad situation instead of a generation embracing it.
I also don't believe her for a second that this quote occurred (as these kids would have been in Compton, and murdered by the populace)
"One day, when I was 16,” she recalls, “these little white kids chased after me screaming ‘nigger, get out of here!' I never forgot that."
"Black folks are still being killed; they are still being undereducated; they still have little access to health care," said Melina Abdullah, an attorney who has helped organize community response to Ford's killing. Taking down the Confederate flag, she says, will not solve "institutional racism and a police system that kills black people."
Well when 'black folks' keep dropping out of school, I'm sure they are undereducated Melina. And in case you keep not reading facts, more whites are killed by police than blacks.
It is this perpetuation on non-sense, that you can do less but should achieve the same, that has America where it is today. STOP PANDERING TO FAILURE.
