'Some blacks feel fatigued after barrage of racial incidents' (understated AP headline...)

[Vattel]

6. We can't eradicate racially-motivated violence.

But there is so much we can do to move our nation closer to its ideals of equal opportunity for all. One's degree of opportunity is strongly linked to one's upbringing and education. It is time to invest heavily in our poorest neighborhoods and regions to provide greater opportunity for those who will otherwise for the most part end up poor at best and at worst incarcerated, drug-addicted, or murdered. I wish there was a 1% equal opportunity tax on all those who have the good fortune to make a lot of money, a tax to be used to improve the chances of poor children to succeed.

edited to add: Sorry if my post is off-topic. The tragedy in SC is so frustrating and sad partly because it is so hard to know how to keep it from happening again. I mean, what in the hell can one do to prevent racist assholes from grabbing guns and killing people? I guess my mind naturally starts thinking of what can be done to provide as much justice and equal opportunity for African Americans as can be achieved in a nation with far too many racists and far too many guns.
