I mean we can discuss things like adults here and not resort to posting cartoons as defense mechanisms.

Didn't read anything in here but it makes sense why black people have such a high illegitimacy. Most of them aspire to be like their favorite rappers or on their way to jail. By most I mean NOT ALL, as some of you will argue. The messages rappers put out make more and more kids who think hustling, robbing, and scamming is "doing it", but the way to do it is do well in school and get a steady job.
the problem is that our family system is breaking. the rappers didn't invent today's problems. Darquez wants to be like Lil Wayne b/c he probably doesn't have a father figure in his life to steer him towards reality.
just as many white kids listen to rap, but their numbers aren't nearly as staggering as ours.

I don't think the family system is breaking. It's just the amount or lack of discipline that could be taught to the child. Darquez has the choice to be like Lil Wayne (who raps about killing and drug smuggling), but the mother has the choice to know her child and teach him/her of right and wrong.

You can't remember Scientific Method? It's two words.
I care. I just don't think preaching victimhood instead of personal responsibility is the way to go, or working.
I bet only black people are the ones who get mad at those who make it out of whatever struggle and failure they assume to characterize their existence. Crabs in a barrel much?
White people I doubt ever be like, "Look at Bob making that money, elevating his position in life. (#*$ him. He isint any real white."
It's funny how millions of people across the globe are rioting and protesting about the impact that "the system" is having on their lives but black peoples struggle, when articulated, is still brushed off as escapism.
your right bruh...it's a damn shame how a lot of black men can't empower themselves and legitimize the oppressors...it's like their brains are programed to accept the state and conditions instead of critical thinking. It's like some black people aren't even aware revolutions exist in societal conditions and social orders..which is why we are here.

You good bread cartune. I know its coming from a place of love with you.

And thats not to say that a massive group introspection and readjustment of values doesn't need to take place...but no human social construct exists in a vacuum.
No, I actually believe that you do troll threads on serious topics to get a reaction out of people.Originally Posted by ksteezy

You can point a finger at slavery and say that "we won't understand" which is fine. I'm not trying to say I empathize with slavery because that would be untrue. I'm just saying, looking forward by pulling each other up is more beneficial than separating everyone into exclusive groups. Just saying.
Nobody who posted in this thread was a slave either so no need to apologize on that front, and yes they really do think nobody of any other race can have an opinion on anything regarding black people. Ludacris huh? It's not like the current approach has bought much success. But don't bother trying to relay the similarities between people of different races and their plights, black people think they have a monopoly on oppression and racism and nobody else gets it. That damn white man, he's controlling our every move. It's all his fault! +$*@ is disgraceful the amount of excuses.
And Deuce King surprisingly neglected to add that black men graduate at LESS than 50%, so that also affects the options to black women since they are not highly rated amongst other races of men as options. That leaves them almost no choice but to marry/date down, in fact the success gap between black females and black males is the largest such gap in any racial group.

Why do people, more specifically uppity negroes like yourself insist on equating statistics to real life conclusions, knowing there are varying reasons for why those various statistics exist in the first place?
