I live in the NE and the only place I consistently see "problems" is on TV and Facebook. I have a very integrated (socially engineered) housing policy in my state and there are very poor townhome enclaves 3-5mins walk from my 4bedroom cul-de-sac. We eat in the same diners, we shop in the same stores, our kids all go to school together...shit my 6yr old daughter's best friend is black.
We tend to fear or hate what we don't know. I was a Skinhead from 13-20 because I needed protection and a place to belong. The Army showed me that we're all "nigger" to the men who own this and any other country. Don't believe everything is falling apart, we are certainly being manipulated to feel like it is. Crime is crime, shitbirds are shitbirds but the average American I know loves his kids, his wife, his mom and his country.
