It only implied that you are basic and don't think further than what cacs have allowed you know.This implies that there is a certain way to be "black."
Another meaningless statement.

How would you even know you not Americanno it doesn't
Truth. The only way is to do for self in every aspect of our lives. We do that no one can tell us shyt.We went wrong by listening to everyone tell us what we should and shouldn't do. Huddle up in church thinking that will change anything, think we can wait out oppression, helping others by extending our hand getting nothing while losing the little bit of respect we had in return, taking in anyone experiencing any form of injustice and go to bat for them but once their persecution is lifted they forget about blacks and we just shuck and jive right into the next person playing the same congame.
The problem is white supremacy, its as simple as that. from planting crack into black communities to promoting gangster rap. this has destroyed the black community.

Where did black ppl go wrong? Oh, that's very easy to answer -- the liberals great society programs of the 1960s. Under those polices the nuclear black family deteriorated, heavily, which caused a major change in the values and customs within black culture.
So your telling me right now that black churches DON'T teach forgiveness?Because I'm a christian, and I've studied the history of religions and travelled the world
So your telling me right now that black churches DON'T teach forgiveness?
Your confusing bible teachings with how it was framed to African AMERICANS.The bible teaches forgiveness, An unforgiving spirit leads to bitterness, anger, and resentment
The black family was experiencing racism when it was the strongest, when it was the weakest, and anything else in between. I get it, you are a Internet character. You have to keep up your black woman bashing troll no matter what topic you enter, not only that, you are Canadian but you have so much to tell black americans. Clown behavior...the black family was once the strongest family unit, now its the weakest.
He won't even admit that there are different kinds of Christian churches and they teach different teachings, even if they believe in jesus.So your telling me right now that black churches DON'T teach forgiveness?
We don't want to work for success. We want it given to us. Anything that is good is worth the fight for. It's almost like we have made it acceptable to give up on goals and not give enough praise to the ones who are continuing to reach their goals. Instead of working together we would rather shoot and fight. We have made it culturally acceptable to be reckless with our behavior and it has to and needs to stop. I'm from the South so I can't speak for anyone else but it's pretty bad down here.
Being born in 1990, I read and study and listen to the stories of my elders about their childhood and being in the midst of the civil rights movement. My grandmother marched with MLK jr while pregnant with my mother in 67. I listen to the music of that time. The social & political awareness of a Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder who also were superstars and leaders of the black people in that era. I imagine myself being alive and being apart of the 1970's amongst my people coming out of the Civil Rights Movement of the 60's and embracing better days of the future in love and unity.
Anybody in here born in the 60's and raised throughout the 70's and 80's? Were black people more unified and loving towards one another back then? The music was more uplifting. We embraced independence. Instead of hearing the word "my nikka", you heard "my brotha" or "my sista". Coming out of such tumultuous times in the 60s, were black people more embracing of one another? Everything seemed to be looking up for my people. It seemed as if black people were progressing from what I've read, seen and heard. The literature was on point. Fashion was meaningful and inspiring. The music was uplifting. Blacks put more emphasis on education and strived to break barriers and be counted equal. The struggles and triumphs of that time were meticulously and beautifully recorded in the music, literature and art as a testament and lesson to future generations so they'd never forget where they came from and what they've been through as a people.
Today, we slaughter one another while being slaughtered by other races. We look to pull each other down. We hate on successful blacks and label some of them c00ns. We look for the faults of our fellow brother or sister 1st before seeing their positives. We see the facade of fame, fortune and freedom of black entertainers and think that's what it means to "make it". Where are the triumphs and struggles recorded of this generation? Where is our warning to future generations? The leaders of this generation are controlled and voiceless. Where is our MLK?Where is our Garvy or Malcom X? Where is our Baldwin and Langston Hughes? We encourage our youth and tell them to idolize LeBron and Lil Wayne because that's what success looks like. Despite the millions of dollars they make, they still get paid by a white man. Our youth do not think outside of the box. Instead of being the next rap superstar or NBA superstar, why don't we encourage them to be the next CEO of a fortune 500 business or invest in and own an NBA team?
Where did we go wrong? Is inequality and the unacceptance of black people just saturated and embedded into a country that was built on the very backs of black slaves? Are our thoughts so heavily guided and determined by the devils of this country that it is nearly impossible to progress in this world without taking 5 steps back simultaneously? Now, I would be a fool to say that we've progressed none. I understand that we have a lot to be proud of. But does that good outweigh the bad? Where did we go wrong? How do we change it?
Give me your thoughts, corrections, ridicule and opinions.
