21,000 Black Men have been shot dead in the past two years in America

Modern rap music isn’t really helping the situation either. Was low key glad when they sprung those Rico charges on young thug

Music that celebrates and promotes the deaths of Black people only serves to cheapen the value of Black life by those who consume it.

What is the murder rate in your current town of residence? You aren’t doing anything but perpetuating stereotypes and feeding into self-hatred. This thread is made every week as a way to down black men.

Head meet sand

You don't have to interact with at-risk black men on a daily basis. My cousin(36yr old BM) came back home from working in Detroit, took a piss behind a club and was robbed, gave up his shyt, and was still shot four times.

I’m not saying it can’t happen to anyone. I was saying the people who usually make these threads don’t interact with black people on a daily basis so it’s basically pearl clutching from a suburban balcony

Black men literally can’t stand one another, that’s why I don’t feed into that “my brotha my brotha” shyt… The best way I can help you is for you to stay the fukk away from me and I will stay away from you. Call me what you want but a black man is safer around devils than he is around his own people.

It's not a black issue, it's a toxic hood issue.

I tell young buls to follow God and not girls. BLM make them feel like for all the talent, ingenuity, and appeal young black men have, we not suppose to struggle or fight against the enemy.

So instead we direct that towards ourselves, meaning other black men. Especially toward respectable ones. Because a truly respectable black man is not respected by these pervasive savages, which is confusing for young men.

I coached a basketball team. I came late to practice one day. Seen them playing some disorganized ball. Brehs. I laid into them. I was more angry then they’d ever seen me.

One of the pretty boys dead started crying. They 13 years old, so I’m not clowning them. But in his sadness, he started acting like he don’t need to listen to me. I wanted to kick him out of practice, but there’s always a woman he can run to and vilify me.


You really can’t do that to the men in any other community. Run to a woman cus a man laid into a child out of love. Even at that age, young men know women would look at them as weak for runnin to mommy over not being coddled.


But women is another issue. Black men are the most talented, but many of us somehow believe that because we extra talented, we shouldn’t struggle.

Why you screaming on them like you they daddy? They were right tuning you out. You talking about follow God but that wasn't Godly. They saw the hypocrisy in you and acted accordingly. Cmon mannnnnnnnn

Who created the culture

The conditions created the culture and white supremacy created those conditions. Its centuries in the making. But it is on us to come to that realization and change the culture.

 

[Matt504]

It's not a black issue, it's a toxic hood issue.

The leading cause of death for Black males between the ages of 1-44 is homicide, I'm not sure how we can then say it's not a Black issue.

Suicide or accidential

These dudes like to perpetuate the stereotype that all black men are prone to violence and hate each other. No point in even engaging in the topic.
