...the very cities they live in have been run by Democrats, many of them Black Democrats, for 3 or more generations. At some point, we have to stop blaming past acts of racism for the problems that a portion of Black community finds itself in today, and start looking at the community itself and perhaps the political party it blindly supports.
Because rich people care about rich people, and usually nobody else. It doesn't seem to matter what their party affiliation is, the data suggest that lots of people in power don't care about and have limited awareness of those less fortunate than themselves.
The NYPD, in a pretty liberal city run by plenty of democrats, is kinda notorious for civil rights violations. Cities in the deep south are also kind of notorious that way, currently many are heavily Republican. In the past the southern democratic party was a notorious voice for racism, in many of those same places the Republican party has taken over that role.
I've said before, just because I criticize a Republican doesn't mean I support every Democrat, or even many of them. Plenty more to be said, but I don't have time. I gotta go to work so I can become rich people too
