True,and not these Nba players and rappers.
But if you ask a black male child what do they want to be when they grow up,that's almost all you hear.
Maybe we need to show black children you can be successful without playing backetball or rapping.

Absolutely! The successful blacks that I've known are those who have embraced the same rules for success that other races have. So how can the ordinary successful folks become role models for the youngsters? Are they ignored because they don't earn the big bucks?

Most of my personal experience was with black men either in the military or those with military experience. Good, competent, and successful men for the most part. IMO Where the military got it right was in recognizing performance regardless of social class or color. Perhaps it also has something to do with the discipline?

It gets worse: white racism against American Blacks drops DOWN a lot when dealing with Africans. The word is the Africans are quieter and more respectful and "doors open" in life that stay closed for especially ghetto fools.
Could be a clue here- 'quieter and more respectful' is what most employers demand of all employees. I wouldn't hire or retain any employee that wasn't quiet and respectful in normal circumstances- I might make an exception for stressful periods.

Is it possible that some of what is called 'white racism' is a normal reaction to folks that are noisy, in your face, and disrespectful?

Of course not all Black males are murders but is it really unreasonable to not be at least cautious when confronted with an unknown young black male especially when dressed in urban attire?

So, what is your explanation why your race is more prone to commit murder?

More hatred leads to more stereotyping and since blacks own practically nothing in corporate America that's not a good way to deal with it.

And 70% of black women are since cyz they're looking for money, not exactly what America had in mind to control the black people. When the women are lost, the race is lost. Get these thugs a good women and watch them start being better men.

I blame most black America's problems on black women.

And what about the white and other people living there, would they have to leave? Would the "black state" be compulsory or optional for blacks all over the US?

Why not Georgia? With Mississippi they would only inherit an already poor place.

Compulsory for Blacks and the White people would be deported to waterfront property in California or Hawaii, their choice.
