they fukked up videotaping a cac attack, but then when i saw these women in a video interview, they did not look like the type of "girl next door" that gets sympathy in america. they looked a little trashy, so cacs may actually stick with loving cops in this case.
america is getting to the point where blacks will remain at the bottom, but now more groups of people will sorta get a little blacker since the economy has been rough and we have fought racism so hard that now it has to evolve in order to survive. broke white people are now just one social catastrophe away from being treated like mexicans
Recently, I had a heartfelt conversation with my grandmother pertaining to this topic. It's almost surreal how much the African American /black struggle has progressed over the past 50-60 years; going from dealing with segregation and "constant" lynchings on a regular basis to having a "semi"-black president and interracial / biracial dating becoming popularized, gaining ground...(MLK, different races holding hands)
While all this is great, I still can't help but think that this current generation of AA's / Blacks are lagging it. We seem to have forget the immense fight and power the black community used to have. Blacks weren't allowed to read, or even integrate into high schools, so we studied even harder.Now we're lagging it in the academic world. Blacks have to have certain privileges, like our standards are lower, while the safety net is great, we should be primarily focused on closing the gap as a whole, not entrusting the lower prerequisite, meanwhile becoming "content" with the subpar standards. If a semi-black president, can infiltrate the white house, I don't see how we aren't working on closing in on the academic gap.
Basically a strong academic core, or heavily educated population, "tends" to reduce "some" of the ratchet behavior, as well as eliminate certain preconceived notions(stereotypes); consequently every culture will always have their ingrained prejudices, simply because it's a part of human nature, but erasing this exception stigma(Obama, Niel DeGrass Tyson etc) and categorizing of the majority of AA's as a certain way, needs come to an abrupt halt. Blacks and AA's should be judged like every other race; on a case by case analysis...
