Some of y'all are real pathetic you know that?
I was going quote people post by post but they're too many comments for me to address individuality.
First of all just because a lot of Black people are a certain way don't mean we all are a certain way(This is something I shouldn't have to explain to Black people) So the next time any of you want to go on some self loathing rant you should choose your words more carefully.
Secondly, for those of you who are insinuating or insisting that Blacks are the only ones who enjoy "ratchet" entertainment should look up ***** and reddit. Some of the content on both of these sites exceed "ratchet" There are plenty of websites that show and praise Black Excellence.... that praise
Human Excellence period. But often times a disaster is more entertaining to look at for a lot of people.
You also must not forget that the impoverished are more likely to participate in "ratchet" behavior. Black Americans are disproportionately poor for reasons someone with even a remedial understanding of Western history would know.
I honestly believe that you nihilistic naysayers are a bigger threat to Black success than than the "Sharkeishas" of the world. You promote self loathing and apathy within Black people. And you re-affirm ignorant beliefs in others.
Basically my point is this. Judge people based on their personal character. And If you must judge on someone's appearance don't choose something like race.
Oh, and before any of the misguided come to accuse me of "making excuses" for Blacks. Blacks have been improving not only socially, but academically and that is despite the hurdles.
