Think about this. Think about this. Maybe if more blacks abandoned their ghetto-rap culture and focus on education and family values, they'd get a job? Did you know most black children are raised without a father? I guess the government is at fault for that too. When will they stop with this ridiculous victimhood complex and take responsibility for their own actions? To say people in America cannot get a job because of their color is just stupid. To say people in America cannot get an education is just stupid. There is more opportunity in the USA than any other country in the world, especially for minorities. I can say this with certainty, having lived in Germany, Holland, Brazil and Spain. Education is free here, and any serious attempt to take one's education seriously will result in college scholarship,
especially if you're a minority; anyone remember that comedy "The Soul Man" with Thomas Howell? He had to paint himself as a black man so he could get a scholarship. This doesn't exist in Brazil, but it exists in America. In fact, thanks to the reverse discrimination policy of affirmative action, you have an advantage if you're a minority in both academia and the workplace.
Exactly. And whose fault is that?
Who is keeping them from going to school and paying attention in class? Michael Jordan and LeBron James, that's who. Most black kids think their way to the success is by either making the NBA, rapping or dealing drugs.
Not because they're criminals, of course not. Because the white man arrests only black folks, and never with just cause. What a moron. Wright is a part of the problem, not the solution. The black communities should pay more attention to Bill Cosby and stay away from these radical freaks who insist on living in victimhood. Bill Cosby is the only one who really gets it, and if the black communities knew what was best for them, they would make this guy the next MLK instead of idiots like Wright and Obama who simply want them to be eternal victims.
"They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English," he said then. "I can't even talk the way these people talk: 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is' . . . And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/ar ... 4Sep8.htmlYesterday, Cosby told his critics, "Come at me all you want." To those who criticized him for blaming the victim by preaching personal responsibility, he said: "I know a victim when I see one. And so did Christ. And so does God know victims. And so do we all recognize victims. But some victims you can look at and say, 'Get up.' "
Indeed, slaves of old, if they were alive today, would feel disgraced that they went through what they did, only to see how black Americans today have squandered their opportunities for success.
What an idiot.
Because they are generally being raised by a single Mom and MTV,
trying to rap, deal or steal their way to success? And whose fault is that? They have no excuse if they finish HS and still cannot read. Hell, just listen to some of these NBA stars, who make it perfectly clear they skated through their educational institution because of the atheletic value they brought to the table. Even with a free ride through an accredited University, they
still refuse to educate themselves. It amazes me how some of them finish four years of college and are barely literate.
I am just glad that the NBA stood its ground and demanded these millionare players respect certain dress codes on the court, or else it would look like Puff Daddy guarding Kanye West.The government throwing money at the poor black communities hasn't done anything to sway the course they choose for their children. This is what Obama promises to do, keep up the same broken welfare system running strong. The answers for changing the problems in black society reside strictly within. The parents have to make their kids take education seriously. They have to be at home and guide them along the way. They have to disabuse their kids of MTV and aspirations of making it as rap artists or NBA stars. And most of all, they have to instill in them a sense of responsibility to themselves, and expunge this virus of victimhood, which enables blacks everywhere to think they should be handed everything to them on a silver platter, just because of the "white man."
Oh yea, drop the BET channel and stop buying SOURCE and other strictly black magazines that only show black models. Talk about discrimination. What if there were such a thing as White Entertainment television? Stop buyiong your kids 200 dollar sneakers while claiming to be poor. Stop them from dressing like thugs with baggy pants and "gangsta" bandanas. Stop acting like you have ever been to Africa or have some connection to African culture by naming your kids ridiculous names like Jamiqua and don't'A. Stop claiming to be AFRICAN Americans and just say you're AMERICAN. Good grief. Imagine if caucassians called themselves European Americans? No wonder a sense of divisiveness seems to always exist.
The black communities revert to their cocoon because of idiots like Wright who feed off of them and their fears. He encourages them to get together and loathe each other as inferiors. They exclude themselves from society, not vice versa. In this day and age, you're more likely to see black parents get upset because their kid is dating a white person, instead of the other way around. This is Obama's philosophy? How can someone lead us to the future if
he and his ilk are so intoxicated with a negative past?
