Not gonna sit here, and say the two are identical, because they're not.
To be clear tho, there are similarities. That's in comparison, to the way
some ppl are
living, and the violence.
How bout the predominantly Muslim culture?
Obviously, there's no drones flying thru hoods, leveling blocks
(although it looks it, in a shyt-load of spots...)
Similar to the
Middle East,
life is cheap, in many areas around the city. Cats
are walkin around wit PTSD or some sort of trauma...similar to vets. Probably worse off, because
this is supposed to be HOME.
Majority ppl know
someone, that been shot, murdered, or harmed with violently
(friends, acquaintances, or relatives).
Especially, the youth...
Have you even seen the infastructure of areas throughout the city? The state ppl are living in? Traversed back blocks, in areas like Kensington?
Countless other areas?
Or are you takin blind shots for daps?
Regardless,
trivialize and downplay black plight, from the comfort of your surroundings....
You know what direction, this is heading right...
