You Play A Part In Your Own Oppression.

[HollowPoints2]

Indeed, America has constructed a system that continues the cycle of oppression,nonetheless, African Americans have perpetuated this cycle of oppression by choosing to not be involved in politics,organizing street gangs that not only kill one another but also poison one another by selling drugs to their own people.This gives your colonizer total control of the dynamics surrounding your community.


Psychological warfare has been a instrumental component when it comes to the dysfunction you see within the Black American community today.This explains why you see behavior patterns that you did not see amongst our forefathers or mothers 30 or 50 years ago.

The black men today,in particular on this site, do not have the courage, determination or discipline that our forefathers demonstrated twenty or thirty years ago. These black men will have to face some type of life devastating circumstances in which their life for freedom is detrimentally in jeopardy.

Otherwise, the status quo will be maintained.

This is what I always say

White supremacy and racisim has set up black people up for failure since we've been in AmeriKKKa

Not only in the form of slavery but what white people always neglect to talk about was the idea of self hatred put into the black mind.

Now unfortunately black people are at the point where white supremacy can take a step back and just observe black people destroy themselves

But I don't know if OP is black so he may be saying this out of ridicule rather than sincerity and compassion

You mean those same black men that are achieving higher levels of academic and economic success than ever before?

Yes! This is the arguement I also make

My parents think things aren't getting better for black people but I disagree. It's a slow process but education rates are increasing and gun violence deaths have decreased since the 70s-90s (This is debateable tho, due to improved healthcare, are incidents lower or are people just survivng at higher rates?)

But graduation rates are still very low so we have a far way to go

so what do you suggest we do to better ourselves sir

 

[Kokoro]

Now that think about it though, look at the language in the title

YOU play a part in YOUR OWN OPPRESSION - Not "our" but "your"

OP can't be black

Some black people such as myself are in college and never gangbanged, grew up in an all black suburb, with black people that actually acted black

He must be a white poster from 4**** or Reddit trying to "speak some sense/the truth" to black people

 

[Dirty_Jerz]

Sometimes I think the people who want and strive for change the most are the ones who are labeled crazy and ostracized

 

[End Cruelty]

One cannot oppress oneself. So...no. The only choice I have is how i carry myself in spite of the system.

Stop complaining and pull yourself up by your bootstraps
