Yes I do.You have no clue what your talking about.Blacks don't even trust other blacks.....why should whites trust them??Consider that on this forum it is widely believed by Black posters that Whites are inherently racist and should be held accountable (i.e., penalized) for 472 years of slavery. As a result, Whites deserve neither trust nor even the right to comment on race relations. Given this seemingly pervasive attitude towards Whites, should it not follow that Whites can't trust Blacks to deal with them in an unbiased manner?

Yes, whites will be blamed.While some blacks continue to use racism as an excuse for their failures, others are quick to call them out.
Like whites, blacks can only blame themselves for their unwillingness to better themselves.
The days of blaming white people are over. It’s time for black people to start accepting and addressing the problems within their community.
The problems were caused by whites.
Government policies based on racist myths help dissolve black families
The lie that African-Americans are incapable of building and maintaining family structures has been bought by many, including policymakers
There are stories that we like to tell ourselves to account for large systemic imbalances in our society, myths that we employ to feel comfortable in our analysis of social problems. Melanin makes you violent is a stupid, strange fiction; it absolves society from ever confronting the prejudice that is inextricable from policies; it perpetuates legal segregation without ever admitting that segregation is deliberate; it masks our complicity in allowing the growth of the carceral state by suggesting it must always be so.
On Wednesday, a new study by Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Forward Together and Research Action Design put the lie to our self-serving fictions. The disproportionate criminalization of African Americans has served to reinforce segregation and income inequality over generations, and African American men are not its sole victims.
The study found that on average families with an imprisoned relative paid $13,607 in court-related costs. In addition, one in five families who participated in the study reported that they had to take out a loan to cover these costs. One in five families were unable to afford housing expenses due to the loss of income from their loved one’s incarceration. Two out of three families had difficulty meeting basic needs as a result of their loved one’s conviction and incarceration. 83% of family members primarily responsible for these costs were women.
There are over 2.2 million Americans currently in the prison system, accounting for 25% of the world’s prison population, the highest of the industrialized nations. It is estimated that 58% of the nation’s incarcerated are black and Latino men.
Black families are and have always been imperiled by aggressive criminal justice policies and demonized for their effects; the disintegration of black families then blocks the formerly incarcerated from accessing basic necessities for survival. That hardship only perpetuates systemic income inequality, and this hardship is shouldered disproportionately by black women.
In the latest cover story by Ta-Nehisi Coates, out in the October issue of the Atlantic, The Black Family in the Age of Mass Incarceration, Coates makes a case that a dystopian fairy tale about African-American family structures has accompanied the rapid rate of incarceration of African Americans as far back as 1965. At the height of the civil rights movement, then Assistant Labor Secretary Daniel Patrick Moynihan released The Negro Family, a report intended to address black urban poverty yet intentionally omitted tangible policy recommendations. Instead, it built the base of the family-centered magic fix rhetoric ubiquitous in our ongoing discussions and implementation of vast urban public policy from housing, schools and finally, the unprecedented rise of mass incarceration that disproportionately affects poor black families.
The Moynihan narrative is one of the reasons why the government created racist, classist policies that incentivized the dissolution (or non-formation) of black families, then problematized black people for not having them. In an interview, Joyce Ladner – a student at Washington University in 1964 –recalled her experiences working as a research assistant for a National Institute of Health funded study that focused on the lives of women and girls in public housing: “The welfare department had a rule that no able bodied man could be in the house if a woman received aid for dependent children.”
Moynihan’s myth that African-Americans are incapable of building and maintaining family structures was so persuasive that, to this day, it’s used to justify the warehousing of people from derelict and underserved communities. It is also employed to justify moves to divest from urban centers that would produce opportunities for the people of ‘poor moral character’, who only have ‘poor moral character’ because they were born poor.

Whites will be blamed for what they have done and there is nothing you can do about it.
You may know a few black guys, but I've lived with them most of my life.Yes I do.You have no clue what your talking about.Blacks don't even trust other blacks.....why should whites trust them??Consider that on this forum it is widely believed by Black posters that Whites are inherently racist and should be held accountable (i.e., penalized) for 472 years of slavery.

Did she tell you that black people don't trust other black people?
How many black people does she know?
I know lots of black guys who would do anything for their brothers so I guess you and your wife are mistaken.

Have a sister-in-law who was the principal of a FL high school that was 70% minority students, 60% of which were black. She had all sorts of stories about the mayhem she and the rest of the staff had to deal with including lots of fights and now and then she was involved separating the combatants. So I once asked her if she ever feared for her safety when playing referee, and she responded only when two or more black girls were involved, adding black boys and Hispanics of both genders had never hit a female staff member in all the years she worked there.I work at a hospital where I wear a few different hats. One of those hats is helping security with combative people.
While I’ve dealt with many combative people over the years, black woman are the worst. The fat ones are especially bad.
Racism doesn’t exist.Consider that on this forum it is widely believed by Black posters that Whites are inherently racist and should be held accountable (i.e., penalized) for 472 years of slavery. As a result, Whites deserve neither trust nor even the right to comment on race relations. Given this seemingly pervasive attitude towards Whites, should it not follow that Whites can't trust Blacks to deal with them in an unbiased manner?
Except no one has said whites are inherently racist. And whites should be held responsible for racism which has gone far beyond slavery. What has been said is that whites have no right to tell blacks what they experience isn't so. Therefore this OP is a lie and one more attempt at baiting by whites in this section of the forum. So the right question is can we trust whites since whites have the record of racist and oppressive behavior, and that whites here have shown they will lie in order to make claims that have not been said.

Whites will be blamed for what they have done and there is nothing you can do about it.
First of all how is it perceived that blacks do not have strong families?
?????
They most certainly do not have strong marriages in 2018 and maybe not what would be called strong "nuclear" families, but not strong families? I'm not black but from the outside looking in, this does not ring true to me. Don't they still have strong families? That's first.
Secondly, it's not solely the fault of whites that black marriage are suffering, nor blacks either. It's multi-faceted I think.

My ancestors fought to free yours and you shit on white people today. You clearly aren’t smart, but are a racist.
I'm not sure what is meant by "trusting" Black people.
When I encounter a stranger there is seldom any need to trust them other than to trust that they are not violent or homicidal, so that I can go about my business without fear of assault. To make that assessment, I rely on their appearance, manner of dress, demeanor, way of speaking, and to some extent their race/ethnicity. I'm more inclined to "trust" someone who looks like me than someone who looks dramatically different. That's not "racism," it's human nature.
