Jim Brown "Young Black Men Terrorizing Their Community"

[PhonZhi]

Jim Brown is an O.G. He's done more for the blk community, than I can ever dream of. Jim is right, the blk community needs to clean it self up. I agree with that aspect.
YET, With that said, that doesn't mean JIM IS FULLY right in this instance.
The Problem has always been systematic white supremacy. We're gonna act like Rose Wood never happened? or Blk Wall street never happened? both entities embodied the spirit of blk ppl building for themselves. both destroyed .

JEALOUS CRACKAS R ALWAYS LURKING. ALWAYS HALTING BLK PROGRESS. Yet before we attack white supremacy, the blk community has to fix it self.

tis' true. We are still suffering from the effects of 400+ years of mental conditioning/brainwashing.

And this brainwashing continues today in order to prevent us from even being aware that the force that oppresses us (white supremacy) exists PERIOD. Like Dr. Boyce Watkins said "alot of black people are unaware that the cage we're in even exists"

Black people in the US are the victims of ethnic cleansing. Many of us just don't know it yet.

population tailoring would be a more accurate term, ethnic cleansing misleads Black people into thinking that white people want to eliminate all of us which is utterly false, White supremacy is about the mistreatment of non-white people, if all non-white people were to disappear from the face of the earth with only whites remaining, white suicide rates would be off the charts.

Why is it that we can talk about single motherhood ruining the black community, but we can't talk about black men killing other black men and the negative effects that result? I know that police

brutality is a big issue that affects us, but that is a separate issue. At some point we have to talk about black men killing other black men. Tamir Rice was a 12 year old kid who got killed by the police. Thats

tragic. That terrible. But Tyshawn Lee was 9 and got killed in the name of gang violence.

Nah

It is. Straight up. Let's call a spade a spade.

There needs to be a purge in many black communities across the country.

I'm sure your kind would love that

They've broken Black people here, and abroad.

Total domination.

our culture is reaching asian levels of shame

If I've learned nothing else from being on the coli I've learned that Black men generally do not like it when Black men are criticized for anything.

He's keeping it 100, but people don't wanna hear that. They wanna hear why it's not the young men's fault. White people don't care about us, that shyt has to be understood and moved on from. Blaming them for all our troubles isn't doing any good, we've gotta sort out own shyt out.

It's fukked up, though. I meet brothers from over there down here, and they all say it's easier to make it here in their chosen fields

Someone's not being honest with themselves.

Both sides of the same coin but we're so hyper focused on that one side that we can't even begin to talk about the other, en masse anyway.

Everybody is different. Root cause is not the same for all. There are siblings with the same exact upbringing who carry themselves completely different. There are kids in the hood and suburban areas who parents take great care of them and they are full fledged gangsters. There are kids who have nobody but still strive to do well in school and not fall to ills of the streets. It's all about personal responsibility.

so if you put 10 kids in a upper middleclass setting and 10 in the ghetto you expect the same number from each background to stay on the straight and narrow?

 

[Apollo Creed]

this is really vague, but I hate empty, defeatist phrases like "the black community has to be cleaned up" like it's some dirty piece of shyt hovel

the black community is okay
there's room for improvement, as there is in any community
but psychologically, people aren't gonna have any drive to do anything when we even treat ourselves like a fix up job
it's like people's first instinct is to preach about the terrible job we're doing as black people before just being a comrade

no one is showing any pride for the black community

it's like people gave up before they even started

What kills me is people say this "black community needs to.." BS like the Black Community in America has ever had a "Good Ol Days" when things were ok.

The Black Family in America has NEVER been OK.

Blacks have NEVER had a period in America where we could look back and say "this is how marriage should be" because blacks literally went from the Plantation to having to worry every 5 seconds about being lynched by Whites and having resources stolen from then every second.

NO OTHER group in America has had to do this. There was a time when everyone was poor yes but this was what they signed up for when they choose to immigrate to America. Blacks in America did not have a choice to sign up for the live they had to endure.

Things have never been ok in Black America so nobody has the right to point a finger because at the end of the day nobody has done anything to fix the issue, they only criticize the results of the root issue.

Think about it, Young Black Men and Women dont even go through a Rite of Passage process anymore which is how they learn to be Black Adults (well traditionally learn to be Men and Women of their ancestral tribe), yet we expect them to just have it all together, when they dont even have examples to look at of what it is to be a good person.

At this point, while we gotta love our older family members and such all these old folks need to shut the hell up and get the hell out of the way. People like Jim Brown have earned their respect but at the end of the day they dont have the answers and they are talking an outdated talk.

People need to realize while White Supremacy may be on its last leg, Blacks are being set up to be ruled by someone else for the next 500 yrs if we dont adapt. This is bigger than respectability politics, because at the end of the day all this stuff is reactionary acts.

I'm black. Have proved it multiple times.

We're the only group of people who cant live among our own kind because of the crime rates found in most BC's. That's ridiculous, embarrassing and shameful. I live in a so called "black suburb" and there were gunshots in my neighborhood today. There needs to be a purge. I dont give a f*ck about any excuses for this behavior. My father is from one of the worst ghettos in the country. Lost his parents as a kid. Grew up dirt poor. Used to run with savages. Still made it out and became a law abiding citizen and I dont eem get along with dude like that but I give credit where credit is due. I know many other black people with stories similar to his. The excuses need to end.

but white people DO care about us, not in the sense of caring about our wellbeing but they are VERY concerned with everything we do.

Actually i think black men take criticism very well considering it's heaped on us on a constant basis by black men, black women & white people alike. White people and black women are another story tho (No diss)

he's right though

White people DO care about us.

I don't think you understand exactly how obsessed with mistreating us they are.

They're on here RIGHT NOW reading EVERYTHING we're talking about.

STUDYING us.
