The prejudice has been engrained in our society on many venues. Still today in entertainment for the Right Wing community, Black Men are the 'bad guys.'
What the gun culture has taught us in the USA is that where law enforcement is unavailable there are personal guns. The inner city is as dangerous as remote areas. The inner city has developed a gun culture whereby suburbia was always the place where safety existed.
With segregation obviously evident in the USA, the dynamics to moving the inner city to suburbia has been nearly impossible. So, if the Black Community of the USA wants to move out of the established gun culture of the inner city they have to set up their own segregated suburban communities.
Statistically, there is going to be more crime in neighborhoods with gun cultures and if that is the inner city then there will be criminals of color due to segregation. Segregation breeds this hatred and it is segregation that will foster it.
Crime exists. It is just a fact. The demographics follow incidence of a gun culture. With more guns on the street than ever before in the USA ,crime is going to be notable nearly anywhere. The issue is not skin color it is violence. It is violence at the end of a gun. Guns are not the law, unless a society deems them to be so and with laws now 'designed' to achieve that goal we are all entrapped in the stigma and it will grow like a cancer.
We will fear other now without exception. It is good for business.
Tulsa shootings stir up ugly memories (click title to entry - thank you)
The killings of three black men on Good Friday have locals recalling the race riots of 1921, when African Americans were violently targeted by their white neighbors. Residents say now is the time to make changes.

TULSA, Okla. — In the wake of what locals are calling the Good Friday Shootings, dozens of worried residents from Tulsa's mostly black north side attended an NAACP meeting in the heart of their troubled neighborhood for some truth-telling.
Yes, they were relieved that two men had been arrested in the shootings that left three African Americans dead and two wounded.
They were pleased that the glare of the national spotlight was forcing local officials to work with black leaders. The mayor, local U.S. attorney and civil rights activist Jesse Jackson were present at the first funeral for one of the victims Friday at the north side's Crown Hill Chapel.
But those gathered at the meeting of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People noted that crime remained a serious problem. And just look at what else is happening in north Tulsa, they said. Shopping centers closing, schools folding and a cash-strapped city preparing to bulldoze three public parks, one named for a local black pioneer....
