If blacks want to develop a culture which nourishes its young, teaches them self and other respect, and the value and purpose of hard work, THEN you will be justified being a pompous blowhard. Until then, what most of us will see is a landscape littered with failure–UNNECESSARY failure–crime, illegitimacy, whining and ignorance.
I speak the truth, and accept that you liars and delusional fools will hate me for it. So be it. Somebody needs to speak the truth, and this isn’t it.
The response:
No. Self evidently, if Democrats are the solution to the problems blacks have, then they are looking to white people to help, since most Democrats are white. Even Barack is white, even if he drops his g’s in certain speeches to certain people he assumes are inferior.
Since you are looking for white people to help, you obviously accept a certain amount of inferiority. I am simply volunteering.
One cannot look at a culture which produces the vast majority of our murders at just over a tenth of our population and call it functional. If you want to go Malcolm X and take care of your own problems and leave us out of it, have at it. But if you want us to help, as in all interventions, the truth has to be the beginning.
Nothing is working, including telling people to shut up when you simply lack the maturity to listen to the truth. You have nothing to lose.
The simple fact is that most white people live nowhere near black people, and even if they are willing to play P.C. language games, that doesn’t help Jaquan, who we do know is living with his mother, and being raised by his grandmother. You may hate our cracker asses, but I should point out most of us are heavily armed, and we outnumber you 5 to 1. We are also better educated.
What is needed is a healthy black culture, one not built by this nonsense posted here in response to someone who obviously meant well. If you don’t want people patronizing you, stop acting like fucking children.
Here is my commentary:
All the people trying to affect the lives of blacks in this country in a positive way seem to share several core, inaccurate assumptions.
1) Blacks are inferior. They don’t say this, obviously, but it is assumed. It is assumed that absent hand-outs blacks cannot get ahead. Unless they have cheer leaders, and crowds of people telling them “you can do it”, they can’t do it. We are told it is asking too much for black teens to complete their free high school education. We are told it is asking too much for them to be fathers to their children, or asking the girls not to get pregnant until at least their mid twenties. We are told it is asking too much asking them not to shoot each other in the streets.
Frederick Douglass, certainly, and probably Martin Luther King Jr. would hold these people in contempt. They don’t want a chance any more: they want a guarantee of success before they will begin.
Not only is that not reasonable, it is actually asking for a codependent relationship in which they are the needy inferior that has to have the milk of kindness, and the succor of continuous support or else they will fail.
Anyone who wants to put them in that position holds them in contempt. Again: they believe blacks are inferior.
2) Language matters. We are told that somehow it affects Jonteel’s life in some shitty 2 bedroom Public Housing project how some white kid at Princeton talks about black kids and black life. This is bullshit. It is completely, categorically wrong. This is a mistake made by and for people who TALK for a living, and who in most cases never do SHIT in their entire lives but talk. Evan Sayet has a nice piece on this.
Language does not affect high school graduation rates. If they were still called Negroes, as MLK, Jr called his own, that would not matter, if they had changed the MEANING of that word, what we whites and Asians associate with it.
Language matters only with respect to language. It matters politically, in other words, principally as a weapon of deception and bullying.
3) Blacks have a worse enemy than themselves. Look: they call themselves niggas not because they are proud, not because it is an emblem of self respect, but because they have internalized a self loathing, one which is perpetuated daily by the people who claim that they cannot make it on their own.
Here is an interesting perspective on the Black Lives Matter agitprop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7MAO7McNKE, particularly after 1:12.
Why do YOU think–seriously, think about it–why do YOU think that the vast focus is on a handful of cases of officer involved shootings, when easily ten times that number of blacks are killed annually by their own?
Is the goal to change the LANGUAGE of the discussion, or to save actual black lives, to make meaningful interventions which make actual, living breathing human beings, happier, healthier, wiser, and more productive?
People who DO nothing focus on language, and this may seem harmless, or even farcical, but the naked reality is that how we speak does have real effects on our ability to solve actual problems. If we cannot speak needed truths, problems escape solutions.
This is where we are at today. I look around me, and most people don’t want to know the real truth about anything, about themselves, about life, about violence, about anything. Most people are cowards. They shy from anything which promises pain and difficulty.
But that is where the magic, the real change, happens.
Edit: My response to the meme was deleted, so I tried again. I posted this:
I await a more substantive response. You KNOW I am right. Who do your lies help? Your fragile ego? Why be fragile when you can be a man?
His response: Lol you await what? Thanks for the command but I’ll passYou are workin under the delusion that your original post had some sort of substance to it..it did not…raise your level of intellect rather than sounding like someone who is still stuck back in the 1800s good old days…I guess your motto is make America great again huh? Foh
I wrote something about how the unoffical motto of the Democrat is “screw black people, they are going to vote for us anyway”, which is quite accurate, and it was deleted. I tried again:
That’s the problem with blacks: not enough men. Lots of tough guys, but not serious people like MLK Jr. willing to roll up their sleaves, do some REAL thinking, and start actually fixing problems.
You vote Democrat because you are the same chumps Malcolm X said you were, because he was not stupid. You are.
His response:
My response: If you are one of the “bruthas” then this site is quite poorly named.Intellectually mediocre, bullying brothers. IMBB. I bet nobody has taken that yet. You should be able to get at least a .org.
But then, truth is anathema isn’t it? Lying is much more congenial for the mediocre. It soothes their fragile, childlike egos.
His response: To anyone still reading this post…this is what a white racist troll writes like…they start spewing some vitriolic none sense….if you ask them a question they continue to inject more of the same…so what do you do? Treat them as the little five year old mentally non intellect that they are..Carry on
My response, which I do not expect to stay there [it did get deleted, but then apparently released]:
Hugh: is the black community working? Define “working” however you like.
Given that black unemployment has risen considerable in his time as President, as has poverty, help me understand how you continue to believe Obama cares about poor blacks. He was raised by white people, in a rich white neighborhood.
From what I read, the role his father played in his life was impregnating his mother, and providing context for a book. He died in a drunk driving accident after being rejected by the Kenyans for his Communist ideology.
You whine and complain, but the truth is this is the truth. Who do you think you help yelling at me for speaking it? Does anyone genuinely suffering become well? Do bills get paid? Is ignorance in any way corrected?
His response, something out of the 5th grade world of Christmas Story:
Hmmm the troll is strong with this one…so keep crying little baby
My response, currently in moderation:
I’m not the one crying. I’m pretty happy with my life.
It is little black boys crying who miss their fathers.
It is little black girls watching their mothers go on alcoholic and drug binges. I have talked to these people. I know whereof I speak and so do you.
But why would you care? You sit on the internet all day, so your life can’t be too bad. And hell, maybe you can get PAID to blog someday?
Commentary: I am posting this uncivil, unproductive dialogue as an object lesson in why problems in the United States go uncorrected. There is no sincerity. Yes, of course I am pushing buttons and being a bit of a dick, but I am also asking completely valid questions that would scare the shit out of this guy if he stopped attacking me long enough to ponder them.
In what respect can anyone argue that changing the dialogue changes the reality? The situation is much more akin to an abusive, dysfunctional family where no one is allowed to speak the truth, where lies are the rule of the day, where the clarity of light is feared and reviled.
No one who focuses on language and not policy can claim to care. Period.
Blacks who claim to speak for other blacks without worrying about jobs and crime and black CULTURE are speaking for themselves, not their alleged “brothers”.
What we call racism is making blanket assumptions about blacks, and by far the worst racists are people like this, who assume that blacks can’t handle the truth, can’t handle their problems, and need whites people to help them, or else they are helpless children.
I assume the opposite: that if more demands–honest, doable, realistic demands–are made on blacks, they are quite capable of rising to the occasion. Nobody but themselves is keeping them down. Yes, shit happens, and we all have hills to climb. The difference is that nobody makes excuses for whites. When we are born poor and stupid, and want something different, we have to go and get it. And when we do, we get the self respect that goes with it, and the contempt of people who lack the courage to do the same.
Edit: and to comment on that last little bit I just added, who is there caring about the CHILDREN? When Sally Struthers used to post pictures of starving African kids (usually the result of wars started by Communists, as in Angola, or famines caused by Communists, as in Ethiopia) everybody felt sorry for them.
Where is the concern for 10 year old kids walking alone through violent neighborhoods–the same ‘hoods white people won’t go to, which apps are created to avoid, and which are no safer for black kids than white kids–and showing up at a home to an empty cupboard, an absent mother, and no supervision?
Who sees and cares about the tears these kids shed? The terrors they endure daily, and which gradually make them hard, cruel, and violent?
We seem to be breeding psychopaths everywhere. Whatever solutions I can offer require me to stop typing for a while, here at least.
