Its a stereotype that all poor inner city blacks are violent. They are not. Most of the violence in the black inner city neighborhoods are between drug dealers and gangs--which are still drug dealers.
These people are likely not residents of the neighborhood. The black ghetto is used as their "turf" to conduct their drug transactions and recruit new gang members. The decent working residents are afraid to get the police involved in the fear of retaliation from the gangs because they are aware the police is involved in the dirty dealings of the gangs--money is sometimes paid to police sergeants of that police precinct or zone of the ghetto.
Concerned citizens homes are often mysteriously fire bombed or shot up in drive-bys by gangs. Redlining keeps the working class blacks in these ghettos. Corruption flows in the ghetto between the police and drug kingpins and gangs.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
