I'...what happened that they decided to ignore? I'm white in Bedstuy. The victimization of the african american race by the white race has sure played a number on the african americans. So how do we help resolve issues of crime and violence in neighborhoods where it's related to economic poverty and the poorest people are going to be african americans and other minorities? It's complicated by the fact that most people in Ditmas Park, which is extremely liberal, probably want a friendly neighborhood to live in and to work for change in every community. But it's also a struggle if you see crimes being committed by a majority of one race. It gets confusing. I don't know what the answer is. White people are responsible for racism but I don't know what to do if it directly affects me due to violent or non violent crime as the result of poor people who are likely to be minorities reaping those crimes upon me. And so in my ignorance and confusion I'd like to know a different way to approach the resolution of these struggles other than just f*&&k white people. I happen to be white so that is less appealing to me than my neighbors, who have been super friendly because I'm working to be part of the community but we had a big neighborhood party and I was almost 100% ignored by their friends. I'm not upset about it. I'm just wondering, if this is the hostility felt in a more or less middle class group of african americans towards a white woman, what are the poorest, most destitute people feeling? And why can't we start a community, in person forum to address these issues?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460866155520664387.post-74263307594953073872010-06-21T17:50:43.924-07:002010-06-21T17:50:43.924-07:00The world is watching.
