Anderson Cooper made presentations yesterday and today about the "60 minutes' 'Stop Snitchin'" piece.
Further analysis suggests, what I have witnessed in several major urban centers, that these folks who legitimize the lack of notifying the authorities on a heinous crimes feel completely helpless or have given up hope on themselves and their communities. Basically, "what's the point in speaking? Nothing will ever change..."
Call it cynicism or sarcasm, but either way your put it, people have given up hope even on themselves. And unfortunately, it cannot continue to "stay" that way and it has been my experience watching these events unfold that it will get worse before it gets better or rather, folks have to hit rock bottom before they realize there is only one way to go and that's up.
