I'd like to see American Blacks separate themselves from White Liberals -- who have done little but coddle and lower standards for them over the last three generations -- and take this lead on this issue. White Liberals and White Nationalists/Trumpsters sure as hell aren't going to do it.
Let's have Black leaders from politics and popular culture challenge American Blacks to hold their own accountable for the biggest problems that they are facing today: Black on black crime, gangs and Black crime in general, commitment to higher education standards within families, fatherless children, thug culture.
And while they're doing that, they're challenging the Right to clean their own house by being brave enough to marginalize these nutter talk radio Trumpster types who are engaging in and/or blatantly enabling the blazingly obvious racism that still exists. Shame them into doing it by showing them how it's done.
I'm not expecting you to agree. But that's what I'd like to see, that's what I'm talking about.
Interesting...
To quickly address your views on a high level.
1. Separate themselves from white liberals and take the lead.
And run to white conservatives who are openly hostile in word and deed to the black community?
Blacks have taken the lead. Please explain how you view them as not?
2. Let's have black on leaders from politics and popular culture challenge American blacks to hold their own accountable for the biggest problem they are facing today: black on black crime.
There's so much wrong here, I almost don't know where to begin.
Who are the white leaders in politics and popular culture?
Blacks are, and have been, holding their own accountable for generations in this country. You even had President Barack Obama chastise a group of graduating students with a "pull your pants up" speech, which was very offensive, not to mention unnecessary. These were the brothers already doing the right thing. Let's not forget Bill Cosby version of "pull your pants up", another offensive and unnecessary thing to do. Look up "respectability politics" and come back with your findings. Lastly, what's the percentage of "Black on black crime?" I've been living in predominantly all black communities for all my life and I haven't experienced the carnage you and your ilk seem to believe is a reality. There's crime in the world, it will always be there. Crime tends to be more prevalent in poor communities. Due to America's racist history blacks have been relegated to those poor communities, I'd start by addressing poverty first more than anything. And "Black leaders", of all stripes, have been SCREAMING that for generations.
3. Shame [the right] by showing them how it's done.
Are you fletching kidding me?!?!?? Blacks have been doing this for generations. It has no affect on them as they have no shame. They simply double down on their offense. As you can see clearly demonstrated in this thread and hundreds others right here on USMB.
Can you recognize how your "suggestions" and/or viewpoint can be seen as offensive?
