Recently had a conversation about "inner city" communities with a coworker. We're in Baltimore and she's an immigrant from Russia. She's concerned about the aggressive behavior/vandalism/crime of "inner city youths" - but being new to this country, she's unaware of how they got there/came to be there in the first place. Slaves fled to northern cities like Baltimore with nothing. Post-slavery, the communities and wealth they built were in most cases repeatedly destroyed/quashed/displaced by racists holding positions of power. The anger seen today is from being constantly cheated, generation by generation, by people who claim to have the moral high ground.
