Why can't the government help us do this instead of purposely being a roadblock?

The same government that condoned slavery? Jim crow? Separate but equal?
If the government hasn't helped us by now,they will NEVER. It's the job of black people to fix.

just what I expected... the white man this, the system this, the police this..
How about the black women and black men who had these bad ass kids not taking responsibility of their own actions by 1) how about don't fukk without a rubber and producing kids u can't afford or 2) if u going to have 2,3,4,5 etc kids make sure you have the finances and the right responsible nikka in your life who has a job
nikkas still blaming the same shyt for the last several decades but don't want to face one of the biggest issues like their own responsibility
...all I hear are excuses, and I've been hearing them forever. All of these "root causes" panderers and "the system made me stick my dik in a thot" folks refuse to understand that 50+ years ago...black people were FAR more poor, FAR less educated, and faced FAR more obstacles such as racism and this behavior wasn't nearly as prevelent. Crime in our communities was much lower, OOW children weren't the norm etc yet we had much less to work with. Some how, some way we fell off BIG time recently.

Really? Because other than TheColi I have always seen it as the other way around. The instant that someone brings up injustices of racism people start bringing up the black community.Anyone gonna call Jim Brown a c00n?
At some point people have to stop talking exclusively about white supremacy and discuss what we can do as a community. A lot of the activism going on right now has absolutely no interest in even discussing these issues, and if you dare bring them up they hit you with a collection of talking points about "respectability politics." Nah, I'm talking about community politics. Black lives don't matter to a lot of black men right now. Hell, their own individual lives don't matter to them. Yes most of this revolves around systematic oppression but at what point are we going to organize and at least try to do better.
The Black Panthers set up all types of community services, with far less money than we have now. There's work to be done with after school programs. I volunteer at a Big Brother Big Sister program. I don't live in a predominantly black city but there are a lot of black people here, lots of black kids in the program...and there are only two black men who volunteer. Few black chicks, lots of white men and women, couple Arabs. It's embarrassing.

How in the fukk are black people going to "fix" it when we are going up against the government?
I get what you're saying but along with taking economic control, black people also need to start taking control of there local government. As well as pressuring democrats to start fighting again the war on drugs and mass incarceration or we will no longer vot for them.

I really don't know why you keep spewing nonsense.
Crime, especially violent crime, is negatively correlated with income. This is a fact. So when one goes up the other virtually always goes down.

Agreed. Outside of this forum, I don't ever think I've heard anyone publicly criticize the collective behavior of black women and call them out by name doing so. As a matter of fact in the BC that is a form of social/political suicide.
The standalone statements about some young black men might be true but was contextually inappropriate. Its not always about what you say but rather what your words are responding to.
Its a sunny day outside. The sky is blue right now. Thats a fact. But it doesn't mean mentioning the blue sky is an appropriate response to everything.
My co-worker: Yo, whats your thoughts on Donald Trump? Do you think he's good for America?
My response: Its sunny outside, the sky is blue
Upon hearing me say that, a misguided person might look out of the window, check out the sky and say 'Yeah, RackHD is right...he didn't tell no lies'...that would technically be true but it would be contextually inappropriate.
The question is, in answering a question about whether or not Lebron should sit out a game or not...why did he go on a tangent about young black men? Why not a tangent on something relevant to the question he was asked? Internalized racism inspiring compulsive victim blaming perhaps?
And on another note it can also be argued that the statement itself, 'Young black men are terrorizing the community' is also contextually inappropriate on its own regardless of what the statement is responding to. I assure most young black men aren't terrorizing anything. A better statement might be something along the lines of, 'violent criminals are terrorizing the black community'...but then that would rob people of the emotional pleasure of finding a demographic to scapegoat.

Omg! He's going to neg us if we disagree with him. I'm so scared.
Jim Brown is right, although there's road blocks that setup by white supremacy. It still comes down to self accountability for many in the black community and often times we have a problem with that.

Y'all nikkaz is trippin supporting what Jim Brown said. Until I hear white people publically calling other whites terrorist, then maybe I'll rock with what Jim Brown said 
Your delusional... 80 shootings in a weekend. In two seperate black areas of urban cities, in the same year... Foh
Naw bruh... All these nikkas care about is the white man. It's a sick obsession.
