  • I think the problem goes like this:

    1. they enslaved black people.

    2. black people gained freedom. A lot of white people who were rich at their expense hated them for their freedom. They also saw them as inferior humans. This hate was passed through generations.

    3. the CIA started a drug abuse pandemic in black communities intentionally.

    4. black people were poor compared to white people. Being hated reduced their opportunities.

    5. poverty and drug trafficking leads to higher crime rates.

    6. a higher crime rate leads to more discrimination and less opportunities.

    7. go back to step 4. It becomes a cycle.

    So these people either hate them because their cultural heritage (which seems likely for Alabama) or because the black community has a higher rate of violence, which is also the fault of white people.

    Yeha, that’s why I said the worst aggressors are the companies, but this doesn’t mean that immigrants are free of guilt.

    First, they are immigrating illegally, which isn’t right. There’s a lot of honest immigrants patiently waiting to be accepted, and these guys just say “fuck it” and break all the rules.

    Second, they know they’ll accept a low paying job as soon as they get their first offer. The money they are getting is a lot of money back home. It isn’t a bad deal for them. After a few years they can go back home and be wealthy, even medium-high class. So it’s not like they are in a bad deal.

    Just because there is a big aggressor, doesn’t mean there is a single aggressor.

    I think the immigrant isn’t a victim when they leave their country with the intent of being hired for a low wage, so they can send money to their families even if they live like shit in their new country. They’ll be living by themselves in the developed country, so they don’t need a salary to take care of a whole family, unlike the natives. They know what they are doing, they know what’s up, it’s all part of the plan.

    Obviously, the company is the worst aggressor in this scenario, but the immigrant is no saint.
