Tre,
I am saying that inspite of your supposedly noble position wherein all people should be judged on merit, and that the American dream should not be based on hand outs but instead be based on fair and equal opportunity for all, the fact is that it all goes to shit when you are pushed for an answer as to who or what is at fault.
That is when we see your true character - driven by inate racial attributes - coming to the fore.
You love to blame the [royal] white man; and yes, whilst you may pay lip service to the sub par blacks, you NEVER concede the elephant in the room; you never ponder just why blacks are always the bottom of the barrel; you never question the genetic material at the point of design. You live to polish the black turd rather than concede its inate flaws.
You ALWAYS come round to implying - or infact outright stating - that blacks have some greater social injustice to overcome than that of [for example] mexicans [in the U.S] or pakistanis in the U.K., utter bollocks. Both groups do better than blacks, and lets not even get onto far east asians; so what gives?
All the figures show that blacks are just the worst performers on average; yeah you can chase lions and run from the cops, but christ Tre, the 'we just need a fair crack of the whip' record needs fucking changing mate.
Why do none of you guys take a leaf from Garvey and fuck off back home?
Honest question mate.
I haven't devoted enough time to the conversation, but back in 2005 or 2006, I started discussing the very real problem of self-hatred among Blacks, not just in America, but in many parts of Black Africa as well.
When you perform an honest examination of what black minds and black hands have created and built throughout human history, it's difficult to conclude that Blacks lack the genetic gifts necessary to achieve greatness. Blacks
can do, because we
have done. And make no mistake, that truism is not limited to our 'talented tenth'.
Over the past 600 years, however, we have definitive proof that darker-skinned peoples have been marginalized by the white is right doctrine that has dominated the past 6 centuries. And with respect to the African peoples and their relatives, we've been conditioned not to love ourselves.
There are plenty of external factors that support my claim, but at the end of the day, it's up to each of us as Black parents to teach the concept of self love over and above anything else. You see, unless we get it together and QUICK, we're not going to
have another 600 years.
I've lived in several parts of the U.S. - the South, the mid-Atlantic, the midwest, and now the west coast - and I can safely argue that there are plenty of honest, hard-working Blacks in our country. In fact, the vast majority of Blacks fall into that category.
A reasonable person cannot argue that the sentencing for Blacks and Whites charged with the same crimes are remotely similar. Start by looking at the conviction rates and then even for those convicted, you see fewer years served by Whites than by Blacks.
Now, I'm not saying that *any* convicted criminal deserves any sort of special consideration, but those of us who have no desire to be a part of the nation's prison culture do have an obligation to examine why the system operates the way that it does.
