"Silence the Violence" San Francisco

<i>Dominant white culture continues to oppress people of color left out of the money loop. The poorest and weakest are left to die and sleep in the street. Poor children grow up next to the rich entitled ones, sharing city blocks but lightyears apart in opportunity and grace. Forgive this city for it has forsaken its heart and soul.</i>

All that is true, but leaves out the fact that most of the actual violence is Black on Black or Latino on Latino. You just don't see people from the East Bay Flats raiding Orinda. This problem is not being addressed by anyone, inside or out, in the Black or Latino community that is showing broad success. This cultural divide gets back to your first sentence about oppression by the wealthy. I would not say so much as oppression but neglect of a group that does not seem to put forth any actual solution to the familial, social and economic problems in its neighborhoods. I am not arguing for either side as having a correct narrative here, but the money is not going to flow to the hood just because there are problems. Some significant cultural shift needs to happen in the hood if anything is going to change, as it ain't coming from outside...

Actually there is quite allot of violence directed towards whites by people of color. Poverty, abuse and neglect impact people NEGATIVELY, regardless of color. The distribution of resources by a culturally dominant white society...nepotism... inheritance, transferance of power, there in lies the problem.
