In the past, Foundational Black Americans were the Most Classy, Admirable, Reputable and Married People in this Country. What Happened to US??

You can’t post photos, likely taken by a professional photographer, of black families and compare that to YouTube videos of entertainment. The better comparison would be to post the entertainment options during that time period versus now if you want to make that argument.

But to your larger point I think fear was a huge motivator for blacks post-slavery. We had to build and maintain with very little outside help. The evolutionary pressures coupled with strong religious beliefs built the Rosewoods and Tulsas. Ironically, the more integrated and “multiracial” our society became the worse it became for descendants of slavery and their kids and on and on.

White conservatives want to bring back those evolutionary pressures and religious ties. White liberals want to atone for those pressures via “woke” policies. The question is what is actually better for black people and as a whole do we really know ourselves?

Integration (yeah I said it)
The strings that came along with welfare
Privatization of prisons
Corporatization of Hip-Hop

Why do you guys always bring up Integration?
last time a checked most black people especially the poor live around nothing but black people.

Just search op threads this gump hates Black people and women with a passion!

Negged for being stupid and not having a father growing up.

It's disingenuous to juxtapose pictures of middle class black families from yesteryear against the lowest segment of our community today.

The folks at the bottom probably came from families that were like this..

I don't agree we use to take pride in being the best.
Especially down south your family rep was everything

A large portion of our people made criminality, and depravity their entire damn personality

People say that integration led to money leaving the Black neighborhood.

After integration, the Black dollar left the community. And all most of the Brilliant minds, intelligent thinkers, creative minds, builder men and women to fled the Black Community.

If The Coli was a music group, after the third release music fans would realize: "These nikkas release the same 12 tracks every album."

 

[Who Not How]

No knowledge of self. We lose more of our original minds with each new generation. Currently, we have Black people creating new labels and identities thinking that is the solution but it won't change a thing if we are still functioning with an indoctrinated brain.

Our original minds must be reacquired if we want everlasting progression (not illusions) and it won't matter where we are on this planet, we will finally succeed and live the dream we created and value - not the White man's dream he taught us to desire.

 

[Will Ross]

Integration caused all the intelligent, creative minds, builder men and women to flee the Black Community.

This is something a lot of people don't want to admit
