No actually it's not. STOP just please everybody stop making excuses for this behavior. Lets look at some other ethnic groups in america. Koreans, many came here not even knowing the language and on proportion these people own small business, buy goods, they strive. Indians, similar position as Koreans not knowing the language. But they come here and start businesses and succeed, we might make fun of them for owning a lot of quickie marts but HEY they own quickie marts!!! The sooner we start admitting the truth, that there is a fundamental problem with a culture that promote so much nonsensical violence, the better off we will be.

There must be many black American ATS members who are shocked at what is on that site, what worries me more is there is a growing movement to pit blacks against whites, its a shocking return to the bad old days, we here in the UK don't have this issue as yet, most whites and blacks mix happily and have done, I can walk through Brixton without a glancing look at my white face, its the way it should be.

Yeh where are the positive young black role models and the older black community to step in and say no this is wrong !
where are the ideals of MLK ?
surely it cant be that bad that no one in the black community is willing to say enough is enough and crazy violence has to stop , and sensationalising of this violent criminal behaviour is wrong .
This is doing nothing for the progression of the black community and on a whole for the human race !
I have watched that documentary in chicago , where the ex gang members step into situations in communities wherer gang violence is rife and they intervene and sort out a dialogue between the groups or between individuals . This should happen everywhere !
I was really impressed with this documentary , these people can change with help from people who have been there ! It made me feel good about the human race again!edit on 13-6-2012 by sapien82 because: (no reason given)
I'd just like to point out the glaringly obvious fact that Koreans, Chinese, Indians, no other race of people who has come to this country, has come by means of FORCED SLAVERY. Indentured servitude maybe, treated as second-class citizens surely, but not as SLAVES. Do you think that might have something to do with why their culture is so seemingly fragmented at this time?

I want to address something you said, because I keep seeing it on ATS. "there is a growing movement to pit blacks against whites." I am from America and am black also live in a big city in a fairly urban area. Nobody that I know, my circle is mostly black people early twenties, has any type of random animosity towards white people. Not to say that there are not discussion about social inequality or historical issues. But every time I see things about racial tension posted on ATS its always a white person talking about some race war or about how much black people dislike them for no reason, yet I have seen nothing to suggest that this has any basis in reality, Which makes me wonder, where is this coming from? Could you explain it to me?edit on 13-6-2012 by acmpnsfal because: (no reason given)edit on 13-6-2012 by acmpnsfal because: (no reason given)
