It doesn't exactly work that way though.
You are making the assumption that everyone who thinks the black community has a problem is only doing so because we're racist.
That's not true. Most of us know plenty of black people in our daily lives, but that's the key - we know them. We work with them, or live across the street with them, some of us might be married to them or have them in our families somehow, our kids have them as classmates, I competed with them as teammates and taught them as a teacher. We could not function in normal life very well as bigots or as vicious racists.
However, we also know the stats and we see the results every night. If you live in a city, everyone knows where not to go. If your city has an outdoor entertainment district, it's not unusual for it to be overrun by unsupervised teens who cause mayhem on summer nights once or twice a year which prompts a curfew. If you see the inside of an inner city school (which I taught, you know what kind of hell the good kids go through trying to learn in a warzone created by the majority of students who disdain learning and education). Everyone sees the gang tags and knows who they belong to.
And it doesn't tend to make us very sympathetic when we either get blamed for those problems or called racists for pointing them out.
And what would you prefer to have happen? I suppose we could just tell the cops not to patrol certain areas at all.

Where were the white community to stop George Bush’s war based on lies?
The problem with your “blacks and Muslims should clean up their own community”
Is that these groups ARE NOT MONOLITHIC?
Their citizens of countries that have laws. No one group has such power to affect a whole community like you suggest
Turn around your proposition:
Who’s cleaning up the problem from the “white community”?
Nuclear bombs, starting wars all over the place (Bush administration)
Not fighting world starvation (even though they have practically all the money and resources)
Clean up pollution
The KKK
Crooked bankers and how they destroyed the economy. I could go on and on but the point is these are all social ailments that we all need to deal with and no one group can as you say “clean up their problems all by themselves
If blacks and Muslim communities have issues it’s because of the cause and affect of their historical experience: slavery and colonialism has resulted in social and political issues. No social or political evils come out of a vacuum.
For instance, there were no terroristic Muslims before the invasion of Iraq and 911.
The invasion of Iraq and 911 is the original sin in terms of the creation of this world wide jihadi terrorism

This thread should be under jokes and puns.
States laws vary on welfare, however, there are numerous exceptions to the work requirements.
The author of this thread failed to mention those exceptions, thus making their assertions patently false.
It should also be noted, every single claim the author has made, is not backed by any credible source.

While your post was logical and informative...both Comey and Lynch are now proven liars and part of the government conspiracy. So...grain of salt.
