Americans say

and 74 million don't think skin color should matter.

That's what they say when put on the spot, but what do they say in their heart of hearts? Probably a third of all blacks would like to see all whites exterminated tomorrow, another third would just like to see them driven into poverty, and large proportion of the rest are secure in government and good private jobs and are too busy consuming to care one way or the other.

This isn't South Africa we're talking about here. You take someone with dark skin, give them a big paycheck, big house, and more than half of them would side with their lighter toned counterparts next door over some gang member thug they've never met.

The problem starts when it is the thug they've met. Until that relationship results in them losing it all, the average person (of any ethnicity), will choose the friend they've gone to war with over the normal person in normal society who will never understand. The horrible part starts when they lose it all and realize they're stuck at square one. Default to old habits to survive. Never leave the area for one excuse or another.

Unless you're willing to completely uproot yourself from all the friends you used to know you won't be able to stay in the normal world. I'm not blaming poor people for staying poor. I'm saying that humans naturally value familiarity more than they should. Not a bad thing in itself. It just comes with some extreme problems. If someone is offered a very high paying job with the caveat it's on the other side of the world the vast majority of people will rank it lower than their current crappy job for a variety of less than logical reasons.

another third would just like to see them driven into poverty,

Some are angry we don't empathize with them more. I can understand that. It's easy to look at something from the outside with the obvious solution and wonder why nobody wants it. The next assumption is to assume they must enjoy their current situation, because obviously they're making very little effort to walk away from it. The ones that believe they can force understanding by forcing their suffering onto others? Yes, I do believe those people are delusional and dangerous, but I doubt that number is as high as the media makes it out to be. Whatever crap the tv says, reduce that threat by a factor of 1000.

The fact that variations of "Black Culture" romanticize gang violence and drugs doesn't help matters. It creates peer pressure where in order to fit in you have to accept all that stuff as "Normal." And if you speak out against the insanity then you're trying to erase black culture. I've seen part of it with my own eyes. Black girl got adopted by a white family. People shit talked about "hows she's acting white." Like, somehow, being raised in a middle-class family away from gang violence and drugs, meant she wasn't acting "like a real black." Hell, fuckin' Joe Biden, president of the states, used the same bullshit. "If you don't vote for me than you're not black." The media and politicians have to keep us separate by threatening us with pointless titles. We'd be too hard to control if they didn't.

are too busy consuming to care one way or the other.

Fed sheep are happy sheep. Don't want to risk hurting the hand that feeds them.
