My wife worked for the last 8 years of her career, as a supervisor of what was, basically, the Black segment of her company's clientele. But, other than the grandmothers who were raising the majority of the children, she has told me that, for the most part, these stereotypes are based on a very real and visible foundation. She said that most of the tutors she had in that area were White, because many of her Black tutors asked to be assigned to White neighborhoods. They were eager to tutor Black kids, but just didn't want to do so in Black neighborhoods... the very areas in which they, themselves, lived.
This kind of thinking HAS to say something to the rest of us, whether Black or White.
We see, all the time, Black people on TV complaining about the crime and drugs in their very own neighborhoods. Complaining the cops don't do anything. Yet, they not only refuse to assist the police in cleaning up their areas, but if an officer tries to arrest a punk who has just robbed one of them in their own store, what happens? That lone cop is on his own.
To bring the rubber to the road and be bitterly frank and honest, Whites have very little of that. Now, won't all people here agree with that statement... whether you are Black or White?
Why? Because we do not let some jackass community activists dictate our lives. And we sure don't let the gangs and druggies have free reign of our neighborhoods. In my own neighborhood, we have run out several people who attempted to set up shop like that here. If something looks suspicious in this neighborhood, within a matter of minutes, a patrol car is in the area. Why? Because several of us have called........ AND, we are standing in the street, waiting for the car, and clearly explaining what we saw. The officer even have to keep us from going down to that house with them.
It honestly does seem all too clear to mot Whites that almost no Blacks will never do that. Please tell me how White people are supposed to think of Blacks, in general, if this is the kind of thing we see reported over and over again on TV when even Black officers are interviewed?
I don't agree with crap like this teacher friend of ours sends out all the time........... but what is the Black community doing to help her, and others like her, to believe any other way? She really does see Blacks as "the problem" because you honestly seem to be fine with the massive representation you have. The representation Blacks are applauding.
OK, go ahead and tell me where I am wrong, and all that I don't understand.
