Black Americans: Do The Math

For hundreds of years, the Americans who exploited enough other Americans to make this country
wealthy beyond measure anywhere else in the world, were the ones raping, killing, beating, cheating,
and degrading those doing the bulk of the work on a daily basis.
So how many hundreds of years after America officially accepts the evils of the system which grew them rich, will it take for them to outgrow the inclinations to excuse instances of rape, murder, cheating, wage theft, beating, and degradation as ways of life?
Are we telling ourselves there is some sudden seeing of the light? There is not. There won't be.
For  every one million Americans, we definitely have the nomenclature of a number of serial killers.
Most of these are white people, statistically and otherwise.
Most white people are good people, of course, but these good people haven't been good enough to
purge their ranks of the extremes evil has reached in this country as positive, acceptable ways of doing business on a daily basis.
For every one million Americans, there do exist a real numbers of mass murderers.
Most of these murderers are white. Not all- but most, statistically and numerically, are white.
Most rapists who kill and main during their rape crime, are statistically and numerically- white.
I don't say these things with hatred for people, but with hatred for the extremes we went to for so
long as the positive, acceptable costs of doing business.
Other countries may be as bad. But how measurable can it be in other places?
For us, the scourge is up close and personal now.
Do we go on pretending not to see it?
Do we pretend we cannot count the ever more frequent atrocities?
As lie is given to inherent inferiority, how many find their rage must make them beastly?
Should we pretend the worst thing we encounter in America is a mom on food stamps?
Well then- we are ignorantly blissful about being a bloody lot.
I'm sure we don't have to remain that way even if we have embraced such thus far.
