Even you have to admit that our murder numbers shouldn't be surpassing Whites. That's actually frightening to think that 12% of the population accounts for more murders than 64% of the population.

But this is out of the entire black population which is 40+ million people. Plus a disproportionately higher number of black people in poor neighborhoods. And this is for the people who were charged. And we know how easy it is for a black person to be charged with a crime.

The problem is you have a lot of black people that do things just because it associated with white people.
White people love hip hop and they support it more whne they are doing it. Now most black people are not going to support a black rock group. but they wiill support a white one.

The fukk are you saying? White folks been doing shyt that blacks have for decades. Thats how rock even started, and wiggers, and tanning and much more.

Thats my point though, they aren't ostracized for those things. Black folks who are into rock are shunned for it.

Most of his points are too blunt and narrow-minded, but I definitely agree that blacks in non-entertainment roles aren't being admired enough.

Making entertainers/sports players your only heroes and thinking their uninformed opinions in general issues matter so much is pretty worrying.

I feel some type of way about the speaking proper thing...

I speak proper when I want, and I used to look down on blacks who didn't. I have since looked at it a different way.

We as black people need our own language. You can't combat systematic oppression when you only speak your oppressors language!

So unless we're all going to go learn kiswahili. ..we may need to allow our Ebonics and slang to evolve.
