In my example all people are animals on a farm, it’s implied. Also I’m glad you grew up in such a nice family that’s great. I also think that’s why you don’t understand. I grew up in the 5th ward in Houston and I saw growing up that those of my friends with parents and a support system are successful while those who’s parents weren’t around or didn’t care are either in jail, dead, or still gangbanging. Look at the Indian community and some of the nicer white communities they have a good culture.
It’s just misleading for #4 to compare crime rate in the African American community and whites and school shootings. One is very common while the other is .000005% of the population. Now I’m not trying to just disparage but point out the truth so our community and take step towards correction. It’s true that socioeconomic hamper us greatly but there is also a dangerous cultural push to not taking responsibility.
I don’t disagree there is definitely a socioeconomic factors, but are we just gunna let that define us. We’re just gunna go welp they have more money there’s nothing we can do. Look at the Irish, Japanese and Irish back in the day people hated and discriminated against them. Yet now they are some of the most well off groups in the nation (well maybe not the Irish lol, they’re stuck in Boston)
No other time in history has the African American community been this educated and empowered. All I ask is we recognize the bad actors and separate ourselves from them. But I agree we need to build each other up. That’s why it’s frustrating when the community puts down those who work hard in school and want to go to college. I personally got a lot of crap because I’m going to college. And guess what, when I have kids I’m not taking them back there.
No, a supremacist thinks we’re biologically inferior. I care about my community and just want change. I mean look around and tell me you don’t think something is disastrously wrong. We voted for Obama and Biden, and nothing happened. Change has to come from the African American youth!
Idk, I do think it’s important to recognize that culture develops around wealth or lack thereof, which then influences actions. If you’re consistently poor, you’re more likely to seek wealth in other ways. If this continues for generations, as it has, your children and grandchildren will be more likely to do the same. Not because of inherent nature, but because they were born into a culture of desperation that developed over generations of poverty and ill treatment.
