Unfortunately there's a lot of racial profiling that goes on in those areas but in a high crime area everyone seems suspicious. The police don't patrol "white suburbia" like the ghetto simply because there's not as much crime. Many claim it's the color of their skin that gets police bothering them but it's mostly crime.
There's racist people everywhere including cops. You're never going to change that and some bad seeds in the police force make all of them look racist. Some cops cross the line when it comes to arrests and it continues to get noticed and disciplined. Many police departments are running cameras on their dashboard and the officers have a mic on them. Some even have cameras built into their body armor. With technology like that it's really easy to see if the cop followed procedure.
Minorities in America have more opportunity now than ever before if they're willing to work for it. When people become a product of their environment who's fault is it? If you have negative influences at home hope do we fix that? When I was a kid I lived in a mostly white middle class area. A black family from the city moved into an apartment down the street. They were included by other kids in the neighborhood right away. A few weeks after they arrived the kids caused $2k in damage to the park and baseball field. They weren't blamed because they were the only black kids in the area, they were blamed because they got caught. The family was evicted less than 6 months after they arrived because the apartment was unliveable due to all the damage they caused and repeated involvement with police because of the constant excessive noise extremely late at night. They had extremely bad influences at home and from their previous environment and weren't ready to change even when put in a place that had amazing opportunities they didn't have before. They didn't have to change who they were, they simply needed to have respect for their community.
Some people would excel given that same situation. Sadly that's not the case a lot of the time. How do you fix that? I don't think anyone has the answer.
No matter where you go you must adapt to the environment. Doesn't matter what color skin you have.
I won't lie, Nigerians at lot of my people are criminals. We have that inbuilt criminal mindset and I just don't understand why it is like that. A lot of them travel to the US to get involved in fraud. Even here in Nigeria, the politicians and the police are all thieves. If for example we have 100 Christians representing the whole of Nigerian citizens, I will say 60% have that criminal mindset. Yes my country people are that bad.
I really do not know why it is like that. I might sound stupid but I wish we were still ruled/colonized by the whites because ever since we gained independence in 1960, there have not been any tangible development and tribalism and religion is one of the major problem here. The only reason why I haven't left my country and relocated to America is because music is very rewarding here and I am an up and coming musical artist. I believe I will blow up soon and after my 10 years reign I will buy properties in America and relocate with my baby mama and kids.
