I'll be 31 so I think we're about the same age. feel like California is real good at hiding all their bullshit problems but I was 12 with 9/11 happened, I don't remember shit let alone trust my memory to be anything of value. but you got the riots in 92 that were all racial and then OJ and we're going to act like it wasn't a significant problem back then? I think you're conflating with not being recognized as not being a divide
the racism divide isn't ever going to go away
the city of Ferguson is a perfect example
when they had to control the rioters with a motherfucking tank
the tank was already fucking there from riots that had happened before Michael brown had even died
when a black kid got killed by a white cop and the people in the city complained that it was the police being racist
you had a city where the black people vastly outnumbered the white people
and yet the entire fucking police force was muther fucking white people
if they really truly had a problem with their cops being supposedly white-supremacist
then the city that's 4/5 black people could have pretty easily just replaced their entire police force with black cops
but they didn't even try to get themselves even one single black cop
the mayor is white
the entire city council is white
the entire police force is white
all the DAs and all the judges are all white
and nobody is even trying to replace any of those people with black people
rope off Ferguson and kick out all the white people
make a city where only black people are allowed to enter it and watch how quickly everything falls apart
what makes the racial divide is mostly a culture divide caused by "the black culture"
when you have a culture that considers a pimp an acceptable job title (hookers really don't need pimps)
when you have a culture where someone entire source of income is just merely drug dealing (as opposed to the drug dealers that also have 9-to-5 jobs)
when you have the culture of black people alive today somehow walking around thinking that slavery somehow makes black people alive today somehow better than the white people alive today
when you have people that become pimps and drug dealers as a straight-up instead-of going to college
when you have a woman with 6 different baby-daddies
when you have a guy with 9 different baby-mommas
when you have less than 15% of the population committing more than 50% of the crime
you have a culture that's really not compatible with the culture of the white people in Nebraska that have never even seen a black person face-2-face
