My Opinion is...:I feel that were ever you live, the situation seems to be the same but in various degrees.Some Whites will always have a negative viewpoint when it comes to african americans. I am a veteran from the Navy, what I noticed is WE are not a culture like italians, irish etc. WE are just black people and act the same meaning the hatin,the envy and backstabbing from one brotha to the next. We know what we are up against and have to deal with in regards to whites, that alone should be the more reason to band together. Black on black crime should not exist, I know that everyone will not get along. It seems that WE find reasons not to such as black gangs, drug dealers, nice cars,a successful brotha or sista and even preachers. True success is an excellect relationship with Jesus, a culture is cohesive,strong, proud and growing. WE can get there if WE learn how to love regardless of achievements then with no excusses be proud of who you are and desendent from: slaves mixed with white and or native american. God is trully good.
