I get on black women's issues all the time on here, and i never hold back, so don't come in here saying "b-b-but what about black women" no group is above criticism including us
Some things out of the mouths of some black men is astounding. Can black men turn a mirror on ourselves for once and admit we aren't perfect. For once. In that education/underemployment thread, the amount of excuses were sickening. It was like reading a bunch of women's posts. Nah, scratch that, i've seen women take more responsibility than that.
Excuses, excuses, excuses. The black man can get his Bachelors or Masters just like anyone else can. Do we face challenges? Of course. You have to work harder, no it ain't fair, but talking about how everyone is always holding you back isn't gonna do shyt.
I know an African breh who came to the States with nothing but the shirt on his back, and now breh has his own law firm. Man up. Black American men talk shyt about what everybody else is doing wrong, like we are perfect.
Do you realize that in America, most black men don't even own their own neighborhoods. Our own fukking neighborhoods. Do you realize that in America, anybody including foreigners comes in black neighborhoods and set up shop and extract wealth. And if you're lucky, they MIGHT hire a black person and put them in the kitchen.
When are nikkas going to stop chasing materialistic shyt, grow up and start investing in their communities? Instead of having to rely on and beg other races for positions.
Why is it that you can go in a random area and see an Arab or Korean or Hispanic owned store, owned by young or middle aged men WORKING TOGETHER to build wealth, and see young or middle aged black men hanging around there instead of pooling their money together to start their own BLACK business?
If we as black men chased ENTREPRENEURSHIP and EDUCATION like we chase p*ssy and Jordan's, we'd be a lot better off.
I know yall nikkas mad but I told you I don't hold back. I ain't gonna sugar coat this shyt because some of you need to hear it even if it angers you.
Why does the black man view other black as the enemy. We're on the same team. I fully expect you guys to deny it, but the fact remains. Too many black men beef, fight and kill each other over petty dumb shyt, instead of coming together to build something.
When it was time for business and i had the capital, guess who had blown their investment money on dumb shyt and had to stay at their job they hated, complaining about working for the man? Now in 2016 my business is successful, yes it took time but breh regrets not getting in on it when he could have.
Why is it that a young black man who owns his own business is viewed as a rarity? Would you be surprised if an Asian guy had his own business? Nah. Would you be surprised if a white guy did? Nah. Would you be surprised if a Hispanic did? Nah.
And don't just say it's "in the hood" because i lived in the suburbs with white people all throughout middle and high school and cacs own most of everything there too
Are you ok with your future kids, grandkids, great grandkids, having to deal with the same exact shyt you complained about, what are you gonna do about it? Is it ok to have no businesses or even property to pass down to your sons, grandsons, etc?
How long are we going to beg cacs? Because you should know by now they don't give a blue fukk. Black men are supposed to care about themselves and their people, not the "white man". Cacs only give a fukk about themselves. They do not like black people, especially black men.
Why are there nikkas viewing other nikkas as competition, quick to hate on another nikka, don't want to help each other do shyt and tear each other down, but don't mind kissing ass and begging for crumbs from cacs and other minorities
The black man is viewed as a joke in America collectively and this is why.
