Its very easy to put a spot light on todays violent culture in black communities all around the country. Its been going on this way since the early 90's and don't seem to let up any time soon, black on black crime is at historic levels and we can blame what ever you want on who, the facts are the facts and there's no disputing it......but what I find rather interesting are white people seem to find glee and enjoyment pointing out this horrific statistic and posting about it......I say lets turn the tables here a bit.
From the time black people set foot on american soil, white folks have murdered, raped, beatin and victimized black folks up until the 1960's. If we were to do an accounting of who's been and still is the most violent in this country....white folks would win hands down. If we were to do a body count, again, white folk would wins hands down.....now we've debated the causes of black on black crime, we've done studies, etc.....and concluded rather obvious reasons, poverty, discrimination, single parent homes, etc.....so my question now is, what was the white man's excuse?
Our excuse was power and control. I can't argue your points either. And I dont take joy in how violent the black community is. I truly want it to stop.
I just feel like things will never improve if we wait for whites to do what's right. Even if they do it won't be enough if blacks dont change their behavior too.
1. Make it a goal the next generation of black kids will all have mothers and fathers raising them. No more accepting eubonic talk.
I dont have kids because I'm too selfish and can't afford them. If that's true for you too do like me dont have kids.
Just what, exactly, should white folks do? Blacks get preference in colleges and employment. They have equal rights and more than equal opportunities.
The problem is instilling the motivation for all of us to take advantage of those opportunities.
Blacks do, to a certain extent, mark themselves for failure.
The ghetto ebonics, disdain for blacks who act "Too white" the single parent families with weak or nonexistant father figures all work against them when they try to get a job.
Hell! Even names! I see no problem with being proud of your heritage, but giving your kid a name that marks him before he even gets an interview?
What's wrong with typical American names?
I guess there in lies my biggest problem. Blacks want to be African-Americans.
Why not just Americans?
