Denzel Washington: Don't blame the prison system, 'It starts at the home'

[GetInTheTruck]

Denzel been acting funny since the Mayweather pacqiao fight.

On top of that, the system did (and has done) everything it could to break down black families for centuries so don't be all Pontius Pilate and say some stupid shyt like "Don't blame the system, it starts in the home"

The leader of the white feminist movement in the 60s who was pushing the man out of the home worked for the CIA

 

[Standing on business]

This is why we need Dr. Sandy Darity and the like fighting back against this ridiculous victim blaming

You think everyone in jail is a victim?

 

[David_TheMan]

denzel washington by his own admission came from a good home and ended up a heroin addict on the street.
He is full of shyt.

On top of that demanding fairness of a criminal justice system that is racist in its formation, and that with regard to black americans was used to imprison blacks for free labor to the tune of 25% of the black male population, a conservative estimate, isn't passing the buck, its pointing out a systematic injustice that is being practiced to this day.

Denzel wants that stimulus package from his whites.

 

[Gravity]

He told NO LIES




mane all these sorry azz thotting single mothers who made bad choices in men have gave birth to all these SAVAGES entering the Prison Industry complex

So the mass incarceration of black men hasn't contributed to the single mother cycle?

I suspected Denzel of being on some c00n shyt when he basically dismissed colorism. He's said a lot of soft shoe c00n shyt in recent years.

i think when we, as black folk, decide to speak on black issues, i'd rather it be done AMONGST EACH OTHER, rather than speaking about it to cacs

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

You sound like a fukking idiot right now.

Nobody's anti good father figures and family structures. But I don't give a damn how responsible you are, the system did a number on the black community and the majority of people, regardless of race, would have neither the luck nor the fortitude to withstand the insidious shyt that's been imposed on us

That post was ridiculous.

 

[hayesc0]

with all the threads we done had on here in the last year alone of police getting caught planting drugs on black people, y'all gonna try this shyt???

Seriously alot of people still dont get this shyt letting negative images of black people in the media sway them smh. We have even gotten interviews of former officers saying they where directed to target white people. Black people dont get the luxury of making mistakes in there youth smh.

Y'all should never take the opinions of entertainers seriously. Their perspective changes faster than they realize no matter how much they think wealth, fame or power doesn't change their character. It happens to all of us, except most people views on twitter don't fervor white masses who see black people as older, aggressive, unintelligent thugs.

Why? He came up from those same Mount Vernon streets. He has that perspective. He saw it first hand. If anything, he knows what he's talking about.

 

[I Really Mean It]

Denzel been acting funny since the Mayweather pacqiao fight.

He's getting old. I see this all the time, including with my own father. Once black men enter a certain age, they just lose any will to maintain their resolve, submitting to white supremacy and becoming a parrot of its talking points. Older black men like dikk Gregory (RIP) seem to be the exception nowadays.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

A lot of c00ns/ignorance is being disguised as pro black in here

It’s obvious that Denzel and the people agreeing with him don’t understand what the drivers of crime are

 

[number21]

The cosigning of a respectability politics talking point in this thread is straight crazy.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Why? He came up from those same Mount Vernon streets. He has that perspective. He saw it first hand. If anything, he knows what he's talking about.

No it’s obvious he doesn’t know wtf he’s talking about if he’s spewing that bullshyt.

There people who ACTUALLY STUDY this of all races who would destroy his notion on 5 minutes but because they’re not famous....

Keep bringing children into the world that you can't adequately protect and complain about what white people do to them.

 

[Apollo Creed]

The Home is supposed to prepare and train black children on how to defend themselves and navigate through a system of white supremacy in their best ability.

The issue is people denying system magic white supremacy exists, thus kids are not prepared to defend themselves thus they get swallowed by the system.

Good home aint nothing if your folks don't prep you on systematic white supremacy.
