Fighting Social Problems Sidetracked by Divisiveness

Bill O'Reilly stepped up and attempted to open up a much needed dialogue and serious look into the problems facing black America. He took the initiative to put on the table what problems are facing black America and he threw out there some possible solutions. Right or wrong about how to go about what keeps people mired in poverty, he took the initiative to express his ideas for a solution.

You would think that the black community would welcome the dialogue about the problems facing black America. Instead, Whitey is said to be racist, demeaning and showing false concern for something we know nothing about.

It is not true, Mr. Sharpton. The concern we have is not just for black America, it is concern for all Americans.  We don't need to bump heads over who is genuinely interested in solving the problems that affect all the people living in this nation. It happens to be that the black community is statistically more affected so it is in that direction we point the scrutiny.

There are going to be crimes commited within our races on each other. We have to accept there are racists on both sides among us. The solution is not to blame White America, Black America, Hispanic America, or Muslim America and spend precious time pointing fingers and organizing protests for every injustice.

Our precious time and resources should be spent finding solutions to the problems that face us as Americans. All Americans.

We cannot solve the problems that put our people in run down ghettos and void of proper education while divided and at each other's throats.

Let's stop pointing accusatory fingers at one another and work together to make a better life for all of us.
