I feel like people focus on this issue because it is easier to solve and easier to blame other's for. At the end of the day racial discrimination will never change until the ghetto's are dissolved or white people are the ghetto majority.
I agree with this for the most part. I guess I thought you were agreeing with everybody else that this "isn't about race" for some reason.
