"White people do it too" is an intellectually lazy response.

Could you imagine how much more worse off Asians would be if they replied to their peers encouraging them to study hard by saying "b-b-but Connor, Jose, Dashon and Mohammed are playing outside with their friends and watching tv"

it's not a statement made to shift blame or not take responsibility for actions. it's saying this isn't some innate behavior in black people that's an indictment on our entire ethnicity but human behavior that everyone engages in. but the microscope and who gets caught or disciplined more, and who is broadcast as symbolic of a particular negative behavior is black people. it is intellectually dishonest to claim anybody saying this just wants to get away with doing things without a spotlight being shone down. the question is, what is the purpose of trying to frame a behavior as exclusive or out of control to one specific group of people when all humans exhibit that behavior?

edit: only read thread title before replying, my point still stands just isnt relevant to what the op said:ehh:

no what i'm saying is people love to point out the negatives of black culture and the actions of black people

That's because they lowkey don't like black people as a whole, not even the situations they're in, but the actually people they've grown to despise.

s/o to @Prince Akeem broke it down like it needed to be over a year ago.

You know what kills me?"Pro black" people who can't talk about black people like they're human beings.

Bedwench,bedbuck,c00n,coward,fatherless,simps.You say you hate when people make extreme generalizations about black people then you turn around and do the same shyt to your own. You say you hate when blacks are judged by the worst but you turn around and do the same shyt.Some of you use pro blackness as a crutch for your own insecurity and self loathing being black...You really don't care about black people at all.There is a difference between constructive criticism and bashing,contempt, and vitriol.

There are countless examples on here. Happens all the time.

But I might post a few in a minute for those who've never noticed it :mjlol:

Anytime somebody brings up an issue affecting the black community, nikkas IMMEDIATELY come in the thread deflecting with "but white people do it toooooo!!!!

I made valid points in my post. I doubt anyone on here can actually debunk them. Ppl will likely deflect or just start hurling insults/emotion

You're a fukkin idiot man. The reason why black people say "white people do it too" because black people ultimately seek to be treated fairly under the "fair and equal" constitution.

If the constitution says that all men and women are to be treated equal, rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, etc why can't black people expect to be treated fairly under these laws, rights and by laws?

Did you read anything he said?

And plus, people on here say "white people do it too" before anyone has even mentioned white people. Nobody even said white people don't do something :mindblown: they just immediately bring them up like a reflex, because they can't factually have a conversation about WE need to do as individuals to improve the economic state of our community

What are you personally doing to improve the economic state of the black community

I've never read a post with the "but white people do it too" narrative. If you're you're talking about how white people like to use the rhetoric of black on black crime as a diversion tactic away from cops killing innocent, unarmed Blacks, then yes, there has been the retort of white on white, latino on latino crime....etc. We spend a lot time attacking a certain sect of Black population, without going deeper and truly examining the root cause. We want to sit here and act as if Blacks had the keys to kingdom here in the U.S. since 1619, but somehow we fukked it up.

We are always left with the obligation of defending or denouncing the behavior of a few to the masses, instead of championing the accomplishments of the many in our community.
