I can watch three hundred videos about England on Youtube and I might learn some things about English life but I don't think that will give me a full picture of what life is like in England. Until I am actually living in England, I won't really know what's it like to be England. I may have an idea of what's it like in England but that will not give me a full picture. For me to say that I fully know what life is like for the average British person after watching three hundred Youtube Videos on England just wouldn't make sense if I have never actually been there.

All the videos posted are rants and they might tell you some thoughts on what some African Americans think of this matter but it doesn't give you a complete picture. Until you and me are actually blacks living in America, we will never fully understand what going on in their lives and what struggles they face. Overall, the race issue is a really complex problem that is more than just blacks blaming their problems on whites.

Do you think you have a "full picture" of anything, really? I doubt it. If having an opinion on any given subject required having a complete picture of it, conversations would be over before they even start. I certainly don't understand everything about the condition of black Americans, but neither does anyone else in this thread.
