We have all questioned why things are as they are. In many situations, our questions are rhetorical. We know the answers. Here is the best collection of those same answers from black people. Please read them. There are good people out there. We do not hear enough from them, and they don't stand on every street corner at every opportunity to shout absurd obscenities through their media mega phone. They are speaking the same language as many of us and have many of the same beliefs we have.
Please read these, and be encouraged, try to be encouraged.

Fifty years ago, Dr. King provided America with a provocative vision, in which our republic would become a place of greater political and economic liberty for African Americans. However, in 2013, when we examine the black underclass in cities like Detroit, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., we can see how the politics of progressivism singlehandedly turned King's dream into a nightmare.

Limited government, property rights, equality under the law, natural law, individual rights, and democracy constitute the American Creed — the basis upon which the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the U.S. Constitution, and the state constitutions were written. It is the Creed, not the founding documents or the political institutions that have emerged from them, that is this nation's promissory note.
The enduring political relevance and intellectual power of Martin Luther King Jr.'s August 28, 1963, speech on the National Mall is that he made his appeal to the nation about the condition of the American Negro on the basis of the Creed. He did not utter a word about Congress, the courts, or the presidency. He spoke instead about "the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence" and invoked "the promises of democracy."
plus so much more....
