Americans are just violent people. We came over and slaughtered the Native Americans as we rolled across this great beautiful country. When we had "harvested" all the easy resources and hit the Pacific we went across the seas to slaughter people in their home lands, destroying HOMES and Families. We have more weapons, more "kids" to enlist, and more desire for war than any other people in the world. Is it any wonder that the citizens of this country mimic their government in finding "war" solutions to "non-war" problems. As far as specific Black on Black violence they are not only the object of racism (which of course doesn't feel good), but have been shown that firepower wins so why not join in. Most of the rest of this country's citizens have no problem accepting that it is right and ok to cruise the world looking for a reason to fire off the cruise missiles and do violence against fellow human beings.
