I'm not convinced that it's all bad. I live in Texas and I have met very, very few actual racists. I find more people are culturalists. If you've ever lived up in an inner city of a major metropolitan area (I grew up in DFW), you know that inner-city, ghetto culture is a huge problem and the black community, while a large part of that culture isn't the only group subject to those insidious values. They glorify violent crime and gang activity. They engage in using and selling drugs, disrespect women and authority, and act as if going to prison is a badge of honor.
I had a good friend growing up named Ralston whose mother was absolutely adamant that he do well in school (she even beat him a few times over it) and his black peers would berate him for doing well in school and "acting white". They even said he was my slave from time to time for being best friends with a "cracker" (I got jumped quite a few times during those years by groups of black or latino kids).
That violent, criminal culture is a problem and certainly isn't limited to just blacks. I knew plenty of ghetto whites and Mexicans, but the all shared those same values (if you can call them that).
People can try to blame whites all day, but those values come from within the culture. Young black men murder other young black men at rates alarmingly higher than any other group and no one seems to give a shit until some "racist, white, pig" kills a young black man under usually justified (but not always) circumstances.
Also, fuck BLM. What a garbage, corrupt movement. MLK would be ashamed.
