It's no consequence that every time Blacks try to pick themselves up by their bootstraps economically, it is usually sabotaged by White Supremacy.

Keep in mind people that most of these community that were destroyed happen during the time period where the Black family was still intact, so you can't blame all the problems on the Democratic liberal policies of the 1960's and onward.
I wish I had seen this thread sooner. At some point this turns into a self fulfilling prophecy.

There is plenty of hope. It just all on what you want to focus. If you keep focused on the media news and the bad news that they feed you - yeah - it will look hopeless.

Question... what do you want to happen with black males?

All that talk, but with only a passing acknowledgement of the degradation of the family unit in the black community. 75% of black children are born in single parent homes.... Do you not think this a bigger problem than latent racism?

No mention of the victim mentality that seems to pervade the black community. When you tell your children they're going to be victims ( by giving them this "talk" about encounters with police ) no matter what they do or how they act, then they'll likely grow up to be victims. Why should they try not to be? You've convinced them it doesn't matter what they do, their fate is sealed.

No mention of the sub-culture ( or as I've heard it called, "black culture" ) that plagues the black community.

No mention of the high unemployment rates in the black community.

No mention of the High crime rates in the black community.

How many African-Americans are registered to vote? How many African Americans actually sign up to be police officers in these cities?

You think the people rioting in B'more should be given empathy? Why? The most powerful protests inspire sympothy, not revulsion. You complain of a lack of opportunity, lack of education, lack ofjobs in your communities, but in your protest of these things, rioters burn and destroy the infrastructure that would provide these things. Sorry, no empathy.


When all you do is make excuses and blame others for your woes, but do nothing to clean your own house up and make your lives and your communities a better place, then no, nothing will change. If that keeps up, then I'd say yes, you are probably right in concluding that black men are finished in America. But keep in mind that it doesn't have to be that way.

Good grief.

How about all the gazillions of black men who are stockbrokers, IT professionals, doctors, teachers, businessmen, scientists, cops, lawyers, engineers, accountants, real estate developers, sales reps, journalists, etc., etc., etc.? I see them all the time and they are doing great.

According to the OP, and some others on here, those people are all just "Uncle Toms"....

In other words, another excuse for why they themselves are powerless to take responsibility and improve their own lives.

83% of violent interracial crime is committed by blacks against whites though whites outnumber blacks 6 to 1. Rapes are 99% committed by blacks. Legal segregation might be the answer.

I didn't bother to read through all the posts. I find it sad that the OP assumes that the majority of black men are unemployable.

The whole argument is internalized inferiority. By telling blacks and telling oneself that I'm a victim, I'm a victim, I, being discriminated, you set up a system where blacks are purely for being taken care of. It's as if they do not deserve to strive, as if they do not qualify to become successful.

The poverty industry isn't about blacks after all. It is about whites. Priviledged, liberal, elitist whites. Helping blacks is apparently not as important as pleasing whites with luxury guilt and making whites heroes. Whites and whiteness are at the core of such poverty industry. It is also about white power. To place blacks lower and then patronize them from above. And remember, these powerful whites aren't paying for the poverty industry. They make the middle class pay for it.

Plenty of liberals on this board are useful idiots. But there are a group of liberals who consciously understand the dirty business they engage in and they have no plans to stop it.

This is not to compare the democrats with the republicans. Conservatives do not offer a good alternative.

People, if you want a better future, you are going to have to voice your opinions. The sheepish liberal voters do not voice their opinions, except that they come here to oppose immigration. Give me a break. I don't respect you. You deserve a democratic party like this. You supported them.

Well, they are full of baloney.

There's no denying that there's still racism in America and that the severe oppressions of the past cast a long shadow. Yet the vast majority of black men (and women) prove every day that they can move forward.
