Is it safe to say all black problems come from racism

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

Since we don't control the media narrative

We can't control who get hired or fired.

We don't have unity from slavery and systematic white supremacy.

Education
Housing
Bank loans
Jobs
Etc all come from the power that be.


But folks still want blacks to pick themselves up from the bootstraps.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Nah.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

No, but it's probably safe to say all of black people's problems are emboldened by racism.

 

[King Poetic]

Women having babies they can't afford or raised is not because of racism

Black men having babies by 10 different women isn't racism..

Now education, housing loans, certain jobs in america yes

 

[Dr. Acula]

No. There are a lot of issues in our community that we have control over.

Just for example, whenever some black folks see others folks doing good things, they can stop trying to be negative and drag them down with old crab in the bucket shyt. I only bring it up because I see this shyt on this site constantly. There was a thread about a lottery winner who was using his money to rebuilding a historic black neighborhood and you had dudes hating on that shyt. I’ll never forget that.

A lot of problems are from racism but in some cases people's decisions ultimately ruin them. Some of these dudes are on the streets or doing wrong cause they wanna be. If you gave them your hand they would bite it.

It's about ownership or reparations

 

[mortuus est]

It's about ownership or reparations

do you know how to get to that point? or.....

 

[King & Duck]

all y'all know how to do is talk about the problems and wallow in pity...

we all know that other groups are racist.. Okay.. Well how about solutions to reverse the problem?

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

do you know how to get to that point? or.....

Yes it's collective tho invest and protect ur community.


Our money goes outside our community to much

 

[Bugsmoran]

U got a point

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Yes. If you analyze the data, all of the problems are directly or indirectly tied to racism.

 

[Brolic Scholar]

I disagree. I think our biggest problem is we don't value ourselves and that leads to exploitation. We're exploited in business and personal relationships.

We create a lot of what's considered trendy or popular and give it away, allow it to be stolen or steal it ourselves. Music comes to mind. How many genres fit what I just said? Same for sports. There's no reason black players haven't come together to be majority owners of at least one team except themselves. That should have BEEN an item in one of those collective bargaining talks.

If all black people looked in the mirror and saw a person worth fighting for, worth educating, worth love and worth having their own, it'd be difficult for cacs to exploit us and turn us into whatever statistic fits their narrative.
