Lets be real, black elders are largely responsible for our current plight

[Taharqa]

There is no plight.

It is easy for anyone to be successful and stay out of trouble in this country.

All you literally have to do is Excel in school and not get arrested and you will be very successful.

In terms of cops, all you literally have to do is be respectful and stay calm and you won't get shot. In all these cases the person getting arrested is provoking the cops in some way. Your ego is not worth getting shot.

Its like you havent watched ANY of the killings recently. since you're a cac, you can shoot a gun in the air and live. You can act a fukking fool at a traffic stop and live. fukk off, cac

I agree. That is why I only listen to 20 year old nikkas on the internet.

This is quite wrong.
You're underestimating how difficult it is to emigrate to the US, and you're viewing from the outside in.
I don't think you realize just how highly-educated most of the African immigrants coming to the US are, and just how heavily they're filtered out.
Most people are in bad situations due to poor decision making alongside poor environments, weak parenting, and a broken education system.
I can say "you can do anything your mind to" from my vantage point, because I was born in a middle class family and an a third generation college student

Everything you Just mentioned is a product of toxic culture which proves me right. It has nothing to do with skin color. It is the cultural differences.

There are people from the hood Who went to bad schools excelled and went to college for free and are extremely successful Now.

Where you are in life is mostly by your own doing in this day age PERIOD.

what freedom? freedom to shop? freedom to work of unfair wages? wheres the freedom? are u happy to go to your job everyday? are happy paying bills for shyt that comes from the earth ?

Listen bum ass negro, everybody has bills, everybody has to work or figure out a way to get paid. If you think that your brokenness and inability to accomplish anything is comparable to what has happened to us in the history of this country you are lost.

Quit your bytching and do something.

I'm black, and I have watched the videos over and over again.

I'm not sure what your watching but in almost every case if you watch the video the victim is be disorderly with cops and not staying calm.eventually provoking the cops to shoot them, whether wrong or right.

You're simply lying or delusional if you say that in most of the cases if the victim stayed calm they would still be alive

Firstly, point to me where I made a single assumption.

Secondly what I answered your question with is something any intelligent mind would comprehend as a solution, especially when practiced on a large scale in our communities.

You claim what I wrote was Filler, and since you're older than me (I presume only because you called me younger fella), you would think you could critique what I said and offer better suggestions instead of personalizing this like the old heads I talked with last week.

Your generation failed, get over it. If it doesn't apply to you and you got your shyt in order, why are you so offended then?

Speaking the truth is not "complaining" or "bashing" Btw. That's just diversion tactic unintelligent minds come up with when hearing shyt they don't want to hear...

I don't care about you, so this isn't personal..if you died right now, my newspaper will still be read and my coffee drunk at its casual pace. Failure is an objective term, I considered my father's generation to be a failure as the legacy of general malaise in the black society goes back decades before my birth..which is why I labeled your comments about wedlock and the like as assumptions because you obviously have no grasp of history beyond what you see as this was the issue even with my birth in the 70s.

You didn't answer my question..What is your plan, kid? What will build out of your frustration, despair, etc? What will it fuel you to do other than be fixated on people who only will consider you for a fleeting second? I took mines and became a quack, so I could help mend shattered minds..whether it was in shelters, clinics, etc..we failed according to you, therefore, again..You should have a motivation to correct something other than not "having children" and for clarification, I'm talking long term..I don't expect much from anyone in their early twenties.

Oversimplification of the century.
People are excelling in school like never before but very few people are successful.The average household is educated and lives paycheck to paycheck.
Saying "just stay calm and nothing will happen" around police means you've likely have never dealt with one

Dr.X you need a YouTube channel

 

[dontreadthis]

this could be undoubtedly true or maybe not. hell if outer space aliens were responsible for our plight today, ok then what? forget who we can pin the blame on, what can we DO now to move things in another direction?

You just don't study enough. Or you around the wrong people.

Or when an OG tries to pull ya coat on some game, you hit em with that "oh we young out here gettin turnt up old nikka we of that"

 

[PhonZhi]

And we're integrated , so we have so many young blacks in multicultural social circles, who's been brainwashed to believe everybody is equal, while society has waged war against them. This creates confusion. And how can u blame them?

Yep, the current generation of youth are the most "whitewashed" ever. No sense of racial pride whatsoever.

Y'all remember that thread where black guys were worshipping white women on twitter? I think it was #whitegods hashtag or something. Just shameful

Claims this isn't person then proceeds to make a personal statement. If you don't care about me or my rhetoric why are you continuing to reply to me? Put me on ignore.

I've answered your question with multiple solutions and you still ask "what's the solution?"

One of the main reasons why our communities are in such agony is because what happens when we go to any corner deli, market, or papi store? We put money in Asian, Indian, and Hispanic hands. Those people take that bag of money that they make and take it to their communities.
Do you not see that as a problem?
More black owned businesses to recycle money back into black people's hands.

I'm the son of a black business owner and as I age I'm learning more about what it takes to take over my dad's business when he retires. Is that not an ideal situation for more black kids to be in? Black kids aren't afforded these luxuries because of the 76% out of wedlock birth rate. That's a fact.

I've asked you to come up with better solutions sense you know it all, and my solutions are soo trash to you, but you haven't yet.

Yet I'm the one not answering questions here...

 

[Jean Jacket]

Civil Rights leaders did not hate Malcolm X.... I don't know where you got that from.

White america was afraid of him and what he meant for the status quo.

White supremacists in government and police have systemically made laws and pushed drugs and guns in the guise of "war on drugs".

Simple facts. We all know this.

The American Black man is still looking for his identity.

The more you tear down people that look like you and suffer as you... The more you tear down your image past present and future.

Just do you and do better than they did... You'll be them in 20 years

Come on man, let's be honest. The vast majority of old black people can be split into two camps:

1. Those who have real knowledge but refuse to pass it on and instead sell young blacks the dream that we live in an integrated paradise.

2. Those who are living in roughly the same situation as young blacks and thus have no knowledge to pass on.

Older blacks who have real knowledge and are willing to pass it on a rare.
