Coppercoil, I agree. The system becomes a revolving door and it's this never ending loop. A crime is committed, they do their time, come out and go back to their community. They're told not to hang out with felons and their old friends, which is impossible, as there are no job opportunities to keep them busy and productive. Something happens, cops come and they're picked up for parole violation because of hanging out with their friends on the corner. They catch another case, and another..... it's a big fat mess. Caught in the system. It's no wonder people become bitter and begin to identify with being a criminal. There's not a lot of hope in these communities. I watch my neighbors come and go, in and out of jail. Looking at cops like what now? I'm not doing anything, and yet they're snatched up for being with someone with a warrant.
This is white, black, Latino, Korean, Chinese, Philippine.... it really doesn't matter. The one thing they all share is being in a community that's historically poor, with limited to no opportunities. They might be out there but these opportunities aren't posted for all to see. We don't even get pizza delivered into my neighborhood, no papers delivered either.
Makes all if us who live here feel a bit ripped off. Just a few blocks over, the parks have green lawns and clean streets, grocery stores... people care. We have littered parks and corner liquor stores.

@rottenrobi: I agree. It's designed that way. It's not a misfortunate coincidence. Prisons and the judicial system makes money off of thsee people by creating, swapping, and selling bonds. Like any bureaucracy the bigger it gets the more it needs to feed on the population they report to support. Then their is the literal slave labor aspect. Many prisoners work for pennies on the dollar in factories making big profits for corperations.

[c=#4C0073]I think we should do a sort of foreign exchange program. Where all high school kids must live a year with a family of a different culture. [/c]@JarJarBoom:

@VioletRayne: I don't think it should be mandatory...people just need to get their mind out of their small bubble and try to explore the world more.

[c=#4C0073]the only way to do that is really immerse yourself in another's culture.[/c]@JarJarBoom:

[c=#4C0073]like you I'm curious and in search of a solution for the image issues.[/c]

@VioletRayne: in my I opinion the one solution is to not give a crap about the opinions of others. They will have their limited, narrowminded and underinformed, generally ignorantly stupid and butt hurt, emotionally driven thoughts and judgments. Their minds can't be changed. I'd go about my business trying to be the best citizen that I could be and let inane stupidity die on the vine or get left behind. Life's to short. The boat for more interracial, interethnic, intercultural, interfaith, international friendships, relationships and marriages had already left and is not coming back. Not saying anything is wrong with having friends and relationships of all kinds only or mostly with people that look, talk, think and act just like you cuz there certainly isn't. But for more and more people that's no longer enough. And with faster, cheaper travel and high tech and cheap, instant communicator around the entire world that's just going to grow. People no longer have to wonder what other people from....Cambodia (example) are like or deoend on someone else's opinion about them. They can skype with a native Cambodian and learn first hand themselves and even go there and experience for themselves. Less and less people are accepting the forced brainwashing bs about "other people". Stereotypes are vanishing. People are getting smarter. Bigots, racists and the prejudiced are a dying bread despite what the media sponsors and truly highly privileged with power to back it up want yoo to believe. It's just s matter of if you're forward thinking or not and have the courage to get off the hamster wheel or not. That's doesn't mean one has to have to interest in other ethnics and cultures as I do or seek interracial relationships. I mean that the world is changing and everyone needs to evaluate for themselves whether they'll accept the changes and role or not and contribute to their own misery by trying to prevent the tidal wave. There'll always be plenty of butt hurt losers that fear losing something to someone else - real or imagined and that manifestation unusually expresses itself in some form of hatred or intolerance of others in order to maintain a false sense of superiority. Let those stay on the hamster wheel of misery. I chose to move forward. And no I'm not considered a minority here in the USA.

[c=#4C0073]Ill know that we haven't made any progress. I feel like were going backwards. I'm seeing hated more and more often. I just want to know where we stand. [/c]

You can borrow my battleaxe. Just be gentle

@Archiesgirl: so it's not so much the minorities, as it is the females ;)

[c=#4C0073]you're making me feel sta by too. You might be on to something.[/c]@zerofuks2give:

[c=#4C0073]I do not believe you are.[/c]

OKay, that's a more reasonable explanation. Just be clear though, this is a racially charged question because you're asking about a racially charged issue.

People feel whiteness is under attack because the economy is bad, particularly in rural areas. People like Donald Trump will then tell them that things are bad because there's bad crime in the streets and scary illegal immigrants and other things. But basically that the weak people (minorities who do not have much power) are to blame for all the problems in the world. Not hte people with the power and money - the CEOs and bankers and so forth. So no, minorities are not predisposed to violence, but people are being told racist lies about them to give them someone to blame for heir problems.

[c=#4C0073]I really don't understand that though. When the economy is bad the rural areas suffer, but the minorities are basically left to fend for themselves. They are already on the lowest rung of the economy scale.[/c]@TyphoidJerry:

You're absolutely right. It's about preying on fears and giving people easy targets who can't fight back.

[c=#4C0073]i feel the same[/c]

and ask not to have arguments lol

[c=#4C0073]i asked for no comments as well as no arguments😂[/c]@WaterSpirit:

Yeah its Sw tho people are shit post

[c=#4C0073]why because I asked a question that you are reading into. Maybe you need to not make assumptions about me based on a question?😉[/c]

[c=#4C0073]In America it is 🙄[/c]

[c=#4C0073]pm I'm interested in everyone's viewpoint[/c]
