The horror of America for black people is unparralled anywhere else in the world. America society due to having founded on genocide of Indians and slavery has retained this savage violent identity that is imprinted in the soul of this country. When you see kids murdering people in school it is because they are living this reality.  The physche of this country is a murderous one

It's not great, but it's not bad all around either.  They definitely get heavy handed police treatment in the inner cities.  Sirens and choppers flying around like 24/7 etc.  But it is different in the burbs where the cops have to behave a bit more to the tastes of polite society. 

The school shootings definitely seem to suggest a violent soul or underbelly.  I think it's a combination of easy access to weapons and out of reach mental health care.
