Buffalo collapsed when major industry left the city.
Bethlehem Steel, Auto manufacturing, grain
The opening of the St Laurence Seaway doomed Buffalo as a Transportation Hub
Blame the capitalists for leaving the city.
Here is why we are not most responsible. For decades we've seen time after time police murdering blacks. We were told that it's no longer acceptable for good whites to stay silent. So we joined BLM.
It was Right wingers who demonized the movement. Sided with the police even when it was obvious the cop murdered the black person. They always sided with the cops. Why didn't he obey the cops commands? But then they cry that a cop shot Ashlii Babbit at the Capitol Riot when she was coming through the smashed out window and leading the mob headed for our elected officials while chanting hang mike pence and where's nancy???
Do you see the hypocricy? White people don't have to obey the cops lawful commands but blacks do?
Also, Republicans invented Stand Your Ground. Basically giving every right wing conservative the right to murder blacks. And if they are found guilty the Republican governor will just pardon you.
