Why is black America always protesting but never fixing their culture ?l

MODS - please move thread to proper forum. My apologies.

The vast majority of black America's problems are self enduced. From crime, gangs, unemployment, lack of education, to drugs - it's the culture many have embraced that's the problem. And this culture often leads to interaction with police. And once in a rare while these interactions lead to the death of a black suspect. Now, I am all for saving black lives, but these "black lives matter" protestors have never once demanded the black community clean up its act.

Protesting against the very rare cases of police abuse is the easy and lazy thing to do. The harder but more but more imperative fight would be against the embraced culture that is leading to black plight.

 

Because , mainly, you have babies raising babies. Cant tell you how often I see bridge card users rocking 200 dollar shoes, mostly the younger generations. Or when volunteering at my inner city schools, how many kids are wearing 200 dollar Jordans and expensive clothing that their family really cant afford. Way more many broken and single parent homes than stable 2 parent homes. To me that means things will get worse before they get better.

 

Have you talked to anyone who is a product of generations of poverty? White, green, orange, or black these people are damaged from birth for the most part. Very few have the capabilities (mental faculties) to escape the inevitable. To change them would require, an absolute change in the environment they grow up in. Not likely to happen.

 

The Powers that Be don't want a fix, they want the problem so they can profit from it and gain votes from it. A fix would mean blacks would ascend economically and start voting as most successful people would... against Liberalism.

 

People are too narrow/stubborn in their views.

Black people are not THE American problem.

The biggest problem for blacks? Democrats.

They've made careers out of race baiting and telling blacks for years they're there to save them and champion their cause (kinda like what hillary is trying to do right now...coincidence?).

Of course, all the while, those politicians and race baitors have all profited handsomely for their "service" efforts....and yet, the black community is worse off now than they were in the 70's.

Martin Luther King is probably rolling over in his grave over what has happened.

Any opposition to promoting blackness is automatically "racist"...and the democrats have carried that torch for years and are keeping it alive.

What other minority group in this country has received the coverage that blacks have?

What other minority is statistically in the same boat as blacks?

That's right, none.

Why? Because other minorities aren't being told whitey is out to get them and they are owed something.,

Other minorities come here and prosper off the OPPORTUNITIES this country has by applying effort and work.

Democrats though keep telling blacks they'll never be anything because whitey is keeping them down. The disproportionately high ratio of crime per capita blacks commit are the result of democrat abuse.

Yes, it would take a long time to "fix" a mindset, but as long as democrats continue to perpetuate their ruse, it'll never happen.

 

How is "black culture" different from American culture?

 

Yeah, I have had a great deal to do with such people over the course of decades and of all ethnicities and without fail individual members of all of them will eschew what the loser types around them are doing and find ways to climb up and out. All ethnic types and from generations of poverty. So the big question becomes, why do fewer Blacks -- as near as anyone can tell -- do this in comparison to other ethnic groups? The Left SHRIEKS at them, "Nothing is EVER your fault and anyone criticizing you for your collective loser ways . . . is a racist, and so you ignore them!" Oh and then they usually add, "Here have some more handouts" The more that other cultural groups are ignored by 'helpful' leftists the better chance the individuals have of bucking the general trends inside their specific cultures and digging their way out.

 

BS.

A historical legacy filled with anti-Black racism and oppression (for generations), has been Black people's greatest problem in this society.

People (especially White people) need to stop lying to themselves; denying the truth.

 

American "culture" is comprised of MANY unique components, some more nuanced than others.

This nation is more like a patchwork quilt (a mosaic), more of a 'stew' than blended/melted 'cheese'.

 

"Hands up, don't loot!" How quickly what happened inside Ferguson is forgotten. Whites and Latinos and Asians at least have enough snap not to burn down their OWN neighborhoods.

 

ALL ethnic groups act up and act violently at times.

People need to stop standing back and being smug, as though Blacks are THE (only) problem or that they exist in a vacuum. That's foolishness.

 

Yes, we have the democrats to thank for most of the problems centered withing the black community, and the welfare mentality that they embrace. Blacks were beginning to make improvements in their station in life until The Great Society scheme of LBJ. Being the racist that he was, in 1963 he was quoted a saying...

The welfare state was created, the black family was torn apart, and the democrats have kept the blacks down by introducing enough social programs to keep them happy, and with signature Planned Parenthood organization, have kept the population in check. If it were not for the republicans, you could still legally own black slaves in this country. Today they are owned by only one group...the democrat party. Ain't that special?

 

Psssst . . . in 2008 a man with ZERO meaningful national level experience or history of leadership or management was GIVEN the presidency by the Mainstream Media when a White politician with a similar background filled with nation hating radical leftists would have been laughed out of the primaries. So . . . anti-Black racism . . . really? Nothing has changed after fifty fluking years of taxpayers crippling and businesses and universities harming Affirmative Action by way of how Blacks are treated, really?

Um . . . hahahahahaha!

 

And the "Blaming Whitey within 5 posts of the OP" award goes to...

This reminds me of when I asked a poster the other day if 2,000 years from now, slavery will still be used to justify black culture and crime, and the poster said "as long as there are racist white people, yes". So I guess as long as you can find some trailer trash confederate flag waving redneck who burns crosses when he's not banging his sister, you'll continue to play the good ol' Race Card. News Flash: There will always be stupid people, get over it.

I'm sick of this charade.

 

That's because they don't have the likes of Barack Obama, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to egg them on.

 

Good point, Hands Up, Don't Shoot was a lie. Pants up, Don't Loot really happened.

 

Racial tensions in Ferguson have bubbled under the surface for decades. What happened in Ferguson didn't happen quickly. Nor is it something that happens often. Your claim that rioting is part of "black culture" doesn't make sense.

 

Blacks as a culture -- as promoted by their leftist caretakers -- have been pander to a ridiculous extent and outrageous slack has been issued to them over events like Ferguson when any other ethic grouping would have been stomped down on hard. What's happening is that professional race hustling and agitating leftists are terrified that the money gravy train and sinecure for life jobs are going to come to an end as society on the whole finally wises up and says; screw it if after sixty or so years of Affirmative Action and bending over backwards to pander to Blacks they are going backwards as a culture then enough is enough. Cut off all the freebies and special treatments.

 

wake up +1

What you say is absolutely true. Democrats and so called black leaders created black victimhood so they could USE blacks to get their vote. Democrats throw blacks and other poor people welfare money to buy their vote. It has been going on since the time of FDR.

IMO the worst offenders are black "leaders" like Al Sharpton that keep trying to convince blacks that they are victims and it is still 1850!!!!

 

Oh yeah that's right it WAS "Pants up, don't loot" I forgot after so many weeks and months of the clown car filled with leftists gave Blacks a free pass for burning down their own township.

 

No 'all' other ethnic types do not escape poverty, otherwise there wouldn't be any other ethnic groups living in poverty.

I do agree that most of these families have been taught to be the way they are, and it is disgusting.

Unfortunately the culprit a government (plutocracy) that is doing so to keep a large portion of the population unmotivated, absent of self reliance, and non competitive. You can't maximize profits for the rich elites if the best government corporate money can buy isn't doing its part to run interference for them.

I interview these people regularly, and they are not just blacks. Some do escape poverty but all statistical information that is available does not distinguish one race from another when it comes to escaping poverty. If you are born in poverty, the odds of escaping it in your lifetime is against you. Very few people advance from the life style, and many factors are involved including peers/environment (no positive roll models of any kind), and even malnutrition (not from not eating but from not having a healthy diet in developmental years).

These are not excuses, just facts, and yes they do lead to some of the people being locked in it giving up, and not blaming themselves for their particular situation.

 

Ayuh,.... A historical legacy of Democrats, filled with anti-Black racism and oppression (for generations), has been Black people's greatest problem in this society.

Historically, Democrats have been the oppressors,.... 'n it continues today,.....

 

I repeatedly specified INDIVIDUALS.

 

Yep, for many of the poor blacks in Ferguson, what happened to Brown was a blessing. It gave them an excuse to throw a brick through a window and run off with a pair of Air Jordans. BTW, on a side note, I made that game I was talking to you about on that thread in the computer section, and it has a "Ferguson Looting Scene", where a "teen" smashes a window. (And if you kill Micheal Brown in the game, you find Darren Wilson's gun on the corpse!)
