That's a lovely sentiment and will obviously get you upvoted into the clouds by reddit's largely 20-something white middle to upper-class demographic, but perhaps consider there might be other factors involved besides skin color.
Like, maybe that crime goes hand in hand with poverty, lack of access to education and social services, and families with a criminal history and maybe think about all of the things that have happened to African Americans in the past few decades that mean that while they are only 13% of the population they represent far larger percentages of the POOR population and the UNEDUCATED population and the population whose parents are criminals.
I mean, we spent decades upon decades pushing these people into the dark corners of our communities and then throwing shit on them, and now we get to turn around and say "Oh my God look at your community, it's practically covered in shit!"
If you want to know what people are talking about when they talk about white privilege, this is it. The black community is the way it is largely because the white people in power in this country made sure it stayed that way for a very long time. But oh - now it's totally their responsibility to "take a look at itself" because it's definitely completely their responsibility and not anyone else's.
Like why can't we ALL take a look at their community and do something to fix the situation? Why can't we accept that maybe our social structures and policies of the past 250 years made this mess and perhaps we should all cooperate to clean it up?
Like... you know - more access to education, social services, healthcare, nutrition, affordable housing, etc. and oh maybe also stop fucking randomly murdering them in the street like wild dogs.
