After skimming through the posts in the "legally opting out of being a parent" thread, I'm sorry to say but the only people "destroying Black boys" are Black people, Black men in particular. The complete aversion to taking care of your own seed was disheartening to read in that thread, real talk
I understand history and the system set up to make it harder for us to succeed, but a lot of the really simple stuff we can do and can control in our own communities we neglect to. Black American culture right now is completely and utterly ass backwards in regards to progress.

The majority of this board is anti-marriage, pro drug abuse(especially marijuana). When I visit any majority AA board women dominated it is the same thing. 

How the fcku does that make you employable when you got a charge?
Researchers found that graduation rates vary by race, with 91.8 percent of Asian students, 82 percent of whites, 65.9 percent of Hispanics and 63.5 percent of blacks graduating on time.
I have to agree with this entire post.
This is why I disagreed when someone said Black American Culture is "socially conservative".
Indians, Koreans and a lot of African immigrant groups are socially conservative.

Simple ways to not be in the poor house.

Now look at all four and look at Black Americans.

Now you wonder why Asians(including Indians) are some of the most successful people in this country. They tend to be the most socially conservative and ACTUALLY PRACTICE IT.
The foundation is completely broken. Black Americans are skipping steps thinking they can duplicate what white Americans do. Their foundation is more in tact so when they make these mistakes coupled with white racism, it's not as damaging.
I dapped this because it's on the right track, but you have to ask yourself "why and how did it turn out this way?"
Every symptom has an illness. Every illness has a source.

im sorry but i am not buying this..dude sounds like a person angry at the white man so making excuses why black people are being held down and pointing fingers at the white man....black people for the most part will be behind because of the stuff that is done to hold ourself back...I cant even go to the mall without seenin ******* pants hanging off their @ss, its disgusting and things like this makes the white look down on us, im black and I feel disgusted so imaging what they are saying. These articles that I see about 26 shot in Chicago in 1 night...dont blame that on whiteman blacks are killing each other over ignorance, but i still hear.."blacks arent making guns its in the system to have us kill ourselves excuses"..
Until black people can grasp that they are only hurting themselves this **** will keep going on for generations because our kids and kids kids are being exposed to this and think its the norm.
**** this conspiracy video, oh and that light skinned supremacy thing is garbage, only a insecure black person will feel a light skinned brother is superior because he is lighter..this dude is just trying to brainwash people and get a following.


Look, first let's clear up something. Let's clear up this myth. This common perception that we always want to "blame whitey" for everything wrong in the black community.
Understand something here; black women are submissive and respectful as fukk towards white men, on both the conscious and subconscious level. You have chicks on here and elsewhere in society promoting black woman/white male relationships as if they are apex of one's existence. These women spread anti black male propaganda that would be welcomed on st0rmfr0nt.
Then you have black males. They'll blame every problem in the history of the world on a black woman. If it rains and ruins a cookout, somehow, someway, a black woman was involved.
So on the whole, when we grouse about our station in life, we look within. We point fingers at each other. Sometimes the white man has to sit under the interrogation lamps, but hey, he's the root cause. He should have to sweat every now and again.
What we have going on right now are a bunch of single mothers and under employed/unemployed males and wards of the penal system slap fighting with each other. Then the more upwardly mobile among us join the fray and it's an all out civil war.
I have a question? Has anyone ever seen the medications of a cancer patient? I have. They come through my airport often as Houston is a leading city for cancer research and treatment. Anywhoodles, the cancer patients typically have pain medication and a giant bottle of what I call "oral swallow." These medications treat the symptoms of cancer, which is great. It's a good thing, but the cancer is there. And everyone knows and acknowledges that. It'd be foolish not to.
Our race is a body. This black body, the most advanced spiritually (not just referring to religion), mentally, and physically with the best aesthetics is riddled with cancer. When some among us provide another tired spin on the bootstrap rhetoric it is a good thing. They mean well. They're prescribing a bit of oral swallow and we need that. It's going to help ease these symptoms that tear our body apart. But you can't administer the swallow and deny the cancer. You can't fight the symptoms and deny the sickness.
My people we have cancer. It's not terminal, though it has tried it's damndest to take us out. In fact it's in remission. We ARE taking action and relieving those symptoms. But don't forget for a second that this cancer still racks our body with pain. Don't forget the source of these symptoms.

I agree with a few posters who say that quite a few people in here constantly lean on the excuse of slavery, social engineering, being "set up" etc as reason for irresponsible behavior. It's just that, an excuse and an easy way out. Once you become knowledgeable of your own behavior, then it is your responsibility to turn it around and no one elses. All this talk about where it began is complete BS.
Understanding where WE as a people began is VERY important in understanding where we are going. There are SO MANY social constructs that white folks have instilled in black ppl that now we just write them off as being normal.
Jim Crow Laws
We will never get ahead until we RECOGNIZE the mental slavery that is still present today. Its not BLAME when youre telling the TRUTH. Our black children need to know about the things that REALLY went on in the history of African Americans.
The real question is why are so many white folks against this HISTORY being revealed. Why does it make y'all so uncomfortable to discuss FACTS about what you did to black ppl? Why do u pretend like the 400 years of oppression, beatings, rape, and social deconstruction of the black family have nothing to do with the present state of black ppl in this country?
WHY ARE U ASHAMED OF YOUR HISTORY?
