Black Ghettoes

Black Ghettoes So now they are burning down small shop they use daily use in rightful anger. The police are mostly white in a black neighbourhood which does not goes down well Bloody guns you may say, but everyone is armed. But my thought was of the poor black people which now have to go a long way to shop, since it appears they burnt down their own cars too. It seems to me Afro-Americans have sunk into a hole of delayed slavery depression, and struggle to get up and fight back, not with guns, but education. Black young man with pistol wants the good things in life, but only find early death or a prison cell. Pandering to this we must not, there is a limit even for grave historical injustices, it is time to break the chains of the past and be free men again.

freedom and equality most definitely through educations and non violent action. There is no growth through hate and fear. Good message keep em coming.
