We couldn’t even get past the third post before someone brought up deadbeats and hoodrats like that had anything to do with the thread. Just goes to show you how some of us think
We aren’t a monolith becuz some of us aren’t hoodrats and deadbeats
But even that is overstated and merely a cop out. More realistically its a byproduct of not being to control our narrative of how we're depicted. Media outlet across this country are only 4.5% black(we're 13% of the population). On top of that many of these brothers and sisters probably aren't in a substantial position of power to influence change. Most black people in the professional workplace unless they're the CEO or the management is black, have toe the line, bit their tongue and come off as nonthreatening to mainstream American establishment.
The raw truth is everyone has dysfunctional families. Quantifying a hoodrat is subjective as well man. Deadbeats exist in every race and social economic setting. Deadbeats are more a result of human behavior and individuals being selfish rather than any pseduo racial trope.
To reach even further the 45th president has a zillion skeletons hidden in his closet. There's a reason why dude has had 3 wives. This just speaks to the volume of dysfunction his family exhibits on a grand scale.
End game for black people should be to break from the shackles of inferiority by educating themselves, then enlightening others about the bs, while continuing to push for a higher quality of life.
