I literally said it starts at home with the parents teaching good morals and values and treating others with respect and loving god. I never said just say don't commit crimes.
The message does work. The fact not every single person is a criminal proves it. The disconnect with some is the lack of good parenting and good values. That is how you stop crime and how you stop poverty in a 1st world nation. Is the USA still a 1st world nation? Now that we can have a serious discussion on.
My friend I do understand. I witness what you are describing daily. In the name of not being racist people do/say racist things. I promise you one thing tho, dont stop. Keep being the example. Whatever lessons you had that let you become the person you are today, teach them to others. Dont shy away from it.
When you look at any community or any group of people there will be a problem person. The old saying I always drop is "You can gather 100 of the same people, whatever job, race, gender, etc and at least one will be an asshole" When you get people to realize its not their skin, its not their gender, its not their job, etc it is their actions. Light bulbs turn on. This is the most success I have had with this topic and I think I have helped others.
In the city I work at there have been changes. I have had people attack me or not believe me. I talk to those who will listen. The community I work in finally decided on changing the states attorney. Still a democrat unfortunately but it was a baby step in the right direction. They actually have an attorney that is not backing down and making criminals who rob and shoot get more time.
Dont give up. Treat people as you want to be treated and take responsibility for your actions. God bless and God speed on your assistance in waking people up.

It does start at home.
But until we defeat that criminal in a suit.
Our message will not work

I have tried for many years to call for accountability.
I am black.
It does not work my friend. All I get is a bunch of emotional people calling me Uncle Tom, House N, Coon, etc.
So after my great awakening. It made me understand that we aren't fighting black vs white.
We are fighting a very powerful and organized form of corruption that is widespread.
I agree with you that it does come down to accountability.
I just learned that we cannot push that message "yet". A black thug who hurts people.
Is not going to change by me telling them to stop. In fact... They probably would just fight me physically.
So I have learned to change my strategy. My focus is now on exposing the organized system of corruption.
When I talk to other blacks. I now tell them.
You aren't fighting "Systematic Racism".
You fighting "Systematic Corruption" that harms whites as well.
When I phrase it like that. I seem to get more people to listen and rationalize the conversation.
