I was never told that I wasn't welcome into this sub, after all, this is the internet. I also never accused anyone here of being "evil" (though it's interesting how you seem to think that's what I would think of this group).

It's also not nessecarily that I want "everyone to change" either, I truly just want to understand how on Earth people can be filled with so much hate for individuals without even knowing anything about who they actually are as a person. The fact that they were born seems enough to warrant many people who subscribe to subs like this with justification in classifying everyone who remotely looks like these "groups" to be shamed & discriminated against.

Yes, there are "thugs" and people of African American descent which are assaulting people, vandalizing property, etc. But to then use this to slur hate-speech against someone who hasn't done any of those things merely because they are African American is simply racist. How common sense doesn't guide one's own rationale into knowing this as a fact is purely beyond me.

Has anyone here even stopped to consider the amount of misplaced wealth distribution & city planning as being one of the main contributors to race violence & predominant "thug" culture? The fact that this race has been hated against from the moment they "arrived" (many without their own free will) to America they were practically forced into poverty, and from this stepping stone things only got worse because there were never truly major reforms made to change this until centuries later. Now what we're left with are minority, poor, concentrated pockets of individuals who have felt betrayed practically throughout a wide span of their family's lineage. Just for a moment, try to place yourself in the shoes of one of those people; disrespected & hated on by generation upon generation before you were even conceived, and now that you're alive you are granted with living in a run down slum which the middle-class and rich tend to ignore completely. The odds for trying to extract violence to achieve any form of gratification or justification for all the wrongs done against you and your family by society would be quite large, undoubtedly even larger than a lot of people's urge to seek change/an escape without violence.

This is what African Americans have been (and still are) going through for the past few centuries in America. For people like you and other subredditors to simply neglect these facts & choose to perpetuate hatred upon these disadvantaged people is absolutely wrong; you're all just helping to prop-up and prolong the clearly defined issues which are forced against these minorities and I honestly think some of you enjoy that.
