I don't think some blacks realize that they cause the devastation of their neighborhoods.
I watched a video about where blacks are moving to and in it they describe how places like Chicago just got so bad (magically) that they had to move. No acknowledgement that the reason Chicago is bad, raging gun crime, that there are no jobs, no business investment in communities, houses were run down, et al, was because of their direct actions. They just say, "neighborhood's got bad" as if it happened by magic dirt or something.
There's an important lesson to be learned here, for me anyway.
For almost all my life, it was an unquestionable truth that the white liberal was the black man's best friend. Then I find out that, no, they've done a lot of things that ended up destructive to the black community. Then I find it it was all on purpose. Then I find out this has been known and spoken of publicly for at least 60 years by people like Malcolm X.
I spin around and think, "Well Jesus, what the hell else have I missed?" And I come to realize virtually everyone lives in some level of a fake reality that is unquestionably and entirely real to them.
You end up looking around at people and thinking, "I wonder what color the sky is in their world?"
