37. You did not live in the city.

Substandard housing and the landlords were responsible for some of the fires. People would sleep with their clothes on and bags packed. Micro aggressions, name calling ,asking do you live here and go back to your country, welfare queens when the majority on government assistance are white, voting for a raping convicted felon as long as he hurt the people you deem unworthy. I am tired but young black folks know quite a bit of history and Hispanic , Somali,Asian and many other groups are being baptized in Americas hate , racism and hypocrisy. I abhor violence I just wish white America felt the same way.
