Why is Ignorance celebrated amongst Black people ?

[KobeTho]

Because our race is a complete laughing stock. Its pathetic.

 

[Poitier]

if thats the case then Blacks (in America) are completely fukked, and will forever be at the bottom
If other races off of us so much what incentive would they ave if we begin to do something for ourselves?

That why we need Pan-Africanism. A prosperous Africa and Caribbean could give Blacks leverage worldwide.

Is it really celebrated amongst us or is that a generalization?

The media mediums used to showcase the content "celebrated" are all white owned.

how many execs and program directors which develop the content are of African decent?

Are we celebrating ignorance or are the masses being programmed to believe we're celebrating ignorance?

I equate "hood" people to rednecks and juggalos

They all their sense of style, music and slang. And the usual ignorance

Take one look at social media (namely vine/twitter/instagram/wshh) and 90 percent of the people acting like asses are blacks

There's definitely a celebration of ignorance in the black community. And we're blaming others for our fukk ups.

nah, Its true. The only people who have "power" like that in the Black community promote that ignorance(rappers, dope boys, and some ball players)

and since they're the ones with the money and the most visibility, people will naturally gravitate towards what they see as "success".
Even some middle class blacks fall in to this "trap"

shyt, why do you think MFers talk so highly about hustlers like Big Meech, Larry Hoover, Freeway Rick ross, Alpo, ETC ETC?

Not only is it b/c American society GLORIFIES violence and criminals (Al Capone anyone??)

but its B/c they're the only ones with the reasources in the black community and they actually tried to help other brothers earn a living (albeit trough illegal means.)

Interesting

So you've got great responses to programming but let's talk community..

Let's talk condition. Is the community not conditioned by the programming?


Late 60s -70s cointel
80s - Reganomics
90s - welfare reform
00s - no child left being
Mid 00s the housing crisis wiped out what little wealth black Americans had begun to build* (some people jumped out there and tried to take on debt they couldn't afford)

Isn't the community also conditioned by socioeconomic circumstances?

[Nigerianwonder]

American culture in general is a celebration of ignorance.

 

[Mr. Manhattan]
