Why do folks say "white people do it too" when you bring up problems in the BLACK community?

[LuckyLibra619]

lol yeah dude contradicted himself majorly. Gonna talk about how people shouldn't bring in other races when addressing the wrongs within the black community, then turn around and does the shyt himself on some "we should follow their example and be like them!" shyt. Dude hates black people, period. Also, dude's location is in Cali, but he got nerve to talk shyt about blacks acting like Cali isn't full of white supremacist gangs, along with asian and hispanic gangs. Dude hasn't stepped foot in any hood and his talking out his ass with fox news talking points

You ran from the debate, You lost.

To be perfectly honest, folks get overly critical and sound like white folks with the shaming. Its like a thread that talked about Black people and social media, or even the
"Do black people dance too much?" shyt. Basically it goes so far left, people who think they are being constructive end up shytting on their own.

Then the same people who don't want white people being brought up in one discussion, will be the first to bring them up in another.
"Had it been a white man" or some such. Or "the white man's ice is colder" if we discuss why some black business didn't work out, rather than just discussing the fact
that the business might have been wack.

You can't bring up white people on one hand then get upset when someone else brings them up in another. The nature of these conversations end up mad contradictory.
Any behavior you see blacks doing, whites do it too. Slow your role when getting too high on that horse.

That's all me, and others have been trying to say in this thread, but these dipshyts in here are acting like simply because we're pointing out such double standards, we are somehow condoning the fukkery

@Gucci Balboa watch his next post is going to have "bootstraps" in it

Man, and for simply acknowledging that blacks are a societal disadvantage, we are making excuses and giving passes

We should be more like the white folks though, they make him feel safe! There's many blacks in the cemetary right now who had the same false sense of security due to their own self hatred and personal biases.....let him keep thinking shyt's sweet and those whites are all his friend tho....

I see it all the time, and the thread about black clothing lines is the one freshest in my memory.

"Black people don't support black brands."

Goddamn lie. The brands that were big at one point, be it Fubu or something similar, was hot because they had our idols (then figures in hip hop) letting everybody know it
was a thing. The brands time came and went, and its on the next.

"Black people don't support black brands."

Ok, check the sheer magnitude of failed white brands. While people say they stick together, history shows they let each other fail too. It's not a black community problem, its
expecting people to buy and support and whatever even if your stuff is wack. Sometimes the conversations get to the point I wonder if folks even hang with other blacks.
Be shaming JUST like white people do with unreasonable reasons, but god forbid you don't agree with them when they say it

This fool tried to say poverty is an excuse for crime. No son, poverty isn't an excuse to harm your fellow Black man and commit crimes. And I'm the one being called a "Self-Hater"? Not the clowns who make excuses for Black men harming one another? If you make excuses for Black on Black crime then you're the real c00n.

I was born and raised in the hood and dude is right. nikkas are so blind to our own bullshyt that we make every excuse in the world as to why we cant get our shyt together.

I'll keep it simple like I did in another thread...The majority of nikkas have YOUR mentality. Where are we as a people, in the grand scheme of things? Something has to change eventually and it gotta start with our thinking. All these years of the same shyt over and over...you would think nikkas would try to change it up or something

I love my people to death but fukk outta here if I'm gonna sit here and lie and act like we don't have a lot of work to do within ourselves. And until then these CACs, asians, etc. are gonna continue to have money and power. It is what it is until we do something about it

Bro like I said before the first step in fixing a problem is admitting you have one. But in our community the moment you question shyt nikkas come running with their "c00n" and other idiotic statements. How am I a c00n because I want my people to do better? This shyt cray.

Straight up. I get genuinely mad that people won't try to take a different path and see where it gets us. Believe me, I've been c00n, white, all kinda shyt lately but idgaf. I'm tired of seeing and hearing the same bullshyt every single day when we aint helping ourselves

 

[Prince Akeem]

Ya'll haven't figured out that OP is a troll? All he does is instigate dumb race threads.

@Gucci Balboa BODIED this thread btw but some of ya'll ain't gonna hear him because some of you nikkas LOVE to feel sorry for your selves. You get a perverse kick from these black people ain't shyt circle jerks.

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Why can't I compare our crime rates to other communities?

Because to do that, you would have to ignore the differences we face compared to other communities.

ONCE AGAIN, YOU ARE ASSUMING THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE, DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR AREA. YOUR PERCEPTION DOESN'T SPEAK FOR EVERYONE ELSE. How many times am I going to have to fukking repeat this? Change doesn't happen overnight, but to sit here and act like ZERO change is going on, is a complete crock of shyt.

I will say this ONE MORE TIME, and after that, I'm fukking done and are just gonna start ignoring people


BLACK ON BLACK CRIME

IS THE LOWEST

IT'S BEEN IN DECADES.

That means

SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. Even with the youth culture, gangsta rap's popularity is at it's lowest, when you have fukking J Cole, Kendrick, and others in the spot light more so over rappers who talk that destructive shyt, that speaks volumes. Blacks are starting to become more aware of their situation than ever and have been taking action to fix things in similar fashion, but once again, dudes with YOUR mentality assume that just because nothing is happening in your community and that the media doesn't bring the positive amongst blacks to the forefront, that NO ONE is doing shyt. That is BULLshyt, you are fukking BRAINWASHED by these cacs who are pretty much telling you what to think. For all you know, there very well could be actions being taken in your community against the shyt, but you assume that because everything's not perfect with blacks as a collective, that we've made no progress. Stop it. And as I've said before, if nothing is going on in YOUR community, what is stopping you from starting something? What's stopping you from reaching out? What's your plan? Who the fukk sits there and cries about how someone should do something, when they could EASILY get something going themselves? I'll tell you what definitely is a major issue within the black community is and it's going on in this thread, and that there are too many people who wanna bytch about things, but not even bother to offer any solutions, let alone make any moves, they'd rather sit back and shyt on everyone else talking about what they're not doing, while doing nothing. Do you not see how fukking stupid that sounds? I've posted one of several movements going on in MY area alone, and nikkas are still acting like nothing's happening. There is nothing anyone can say to convince yall. Like I said, talk about how we shouldn't bring cacs up, yet run with their ideals, narratives and views of blacks as a collective brehs.

@ breh bytching about "solutions". Why does someone need to offer solutions for things like not harming your brothers, not littering in your neighborhood, and not dropping out of school?

Oh, you mean those things that people have said the community has been doing better with in the last few years but that you wont acknowledge for this argument. If you aint offering solutions to speed up the process to your liking, then your really just whining and thats what 5 year olds do. Adult fix issues they see or keep it moving.

Breh but this wasn't the argument presented to me in the past. You're acknowledging that there is a difference in crime rates due to the differences in communities. Others were just saying that all communities commit crimes so Black people shouldn't be the face of crime, but if we commit crimes at a higher rates than these other communities then unfortunately our image will be ruined, which is what has happened. I'll check out your links in a few minutes bro.

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

@ breh bytching about "solutions". Why does someone need to offer solutions for things like not harming your brothers, not littering in your neighborhood, and working hard in school?

You're looking at some of these issues in a simple way. The things you mentioned are symptoms of a bigger issue - poverty. If we can successfully tackle poverty, which is a root cause of these issues, then they'll start to diminish. Also, have you ever tried to concentrate in class with an empty stomach? It's not easy, and it's not as simple as "just work hard."

Yet another person with this bullshyt argument. No, I don't have to give you solutions to fukking common sense problems. And no I don't have to personally fix these issues either. I would be willing to, but why am I personally obligated to fix problems in which I haven't contributed to?
