PREJUDICE AND FAYETTE COUNTYPrejudice is learned from experiences by individuals over time. A person or group of people are prejudged by the actions of the past. Right or wrong this is where prejudices are developed. As a whole blacks do not understand whites and whites do not understand blacks. A miniority of very vocal blacks blame and will always blame whites for their lot in life. No matter if it is realisic this is a fact of life. A miniority of whites will always mistrust blacks no matter what happens. This is also a fact of life. What has to happen in order for our lifestyle to improve is for the majority of both races take responsibility for the community. I have lived in Atlanta and Fayette County most of my life. In the 1970's whites moved to the suburbs because blacks were moving into traditional white neighborhoods. The Jesse Jackson's of the world said there was nothing to fear because the reason blacks did not take care of their houses were because they received other families garbage so therefore there was no self esteem. Well they moved into nice homes in the 1970's and now the area is a crime ridden slum. Next blacks moved to Clayton County in the 1990's and it is now a crime ridden slum. Fayette County now is experiencing crime like never before in history for this county. We hear people crowing proudly FAYETTE NEXT meaning this will be the next Clayton county. Guess what.... this is why there is prejudice in the community. The only way blacks are going to be respected is when they respect themselves. This will only happen when black leadership steps up like Bill Cosby and holds their own race accountable for their actions. When black leaders force the issue then attitudes will change. ofcb's blog | login to post comments![]() |
