Michelle Obama criticizes black youth for worship of Rappers & Sport Stars

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

shyt aint funny to me. It's despicable.

They get on their high horse talmbout "I made it, why can't you" while ignoring the fact that most of their own people don't "make it" and plenty of black Americans are "making it". They sit here and benefit from all the hard work of the people who fought before them, and now since they got a couple scraps and limited opportunities they wanna say the fight over and now it's "complaining"

Naw it's not complaining, it's continuing the fight that got us this far. In my opinion their attitude is the "lazy" "defeatist" one.

"Well they're giving me scraps now so I'll just take them and keep tying hard"

fukk that, you're supposed to try hard AND fight for more. That's what our great leaders did and they'd probably slap the shyt out of one of theses new wave "boot strap" dudes

But you're not saying that. I'm the one thats saying that.

You're over here making excuses for why people ain't getting anywhere.

Its Zero Tolerance with me bruh.

The government can only do so much to "hold you back"

They ain't gonna give you what you ain't willing to take.

How are you complaining about the "boot straps" commentary...YET making your own version of it that doesn't use the word "boot straps?"

...yeah thats the attitude?! slap the **** out of these "boot strap" dudes...really?....and no our great leaders fought so we can have opportunity and uprise.....and they were successful doing this because we have opportunities we would never had dreamed of back 40 years ago...They are rolling over in there grave right now seeing that we took two steps forward and a large step back with what is going on in our inner cities. You are bashing the wrong people here and calling the wrong people c00ns, thats the problem now a days, a black man tries to excel and you talk about uncle tom, c00n etc, just like in schools I speak to these little kids that I see doing well and they tell me the kids in the school call them "nerds, and whiteboys, and geek etc...wtf its instilled in us from young when you see someone stepping out box and people are not seeing it. Society has created their own greatest enemy and trust me the "man" loves this...yeah they make it hard for us and we have dont have it easy as them but society are keeping themselves down with the chances they do have.

If it was up to these dudes. Black people doing the civil rights movement shouldn't have complained to the government for it's inequalities. They should have just pull themselves up by their own boot straps. They shouldn't have relied on the government to fix the problems in black community during that time. But the same immigrants that tell black people to not complain, are the same immigrants that enjoy the benefits of black people complaining to the government during the Civil Right Movement.

shytt is funny when you think about.

Man no one is saying that people should have NEVER fought for civil rights and equality it's more that at this point in the game, we should be further along as a race than we are and inequality is NOT the sole reason why we aren't.

And the dumbass that say, Oh the immigrants come to the USA and make it. When they not accounting the fact, that most of those immigrants come from the well of parts of their country and receive federal grants and loans by the government when they come to the USA. Many come from more well off families than majority of black people.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Oh well bruh.

Dudes gotta start fighting for SOMETHING at the end of the day. Skin color alone don't mean shyt cause before WW2, Americans weren't fukking with Jews AT ALL. Even the Irish got it bad.

that's what we are in here talking about. Fighting to combat the oppression that black people still face. This has nothing to do with "trying hard" or "stepping up to the plate" they are not mutually exclusive concepts. One can try hard AND challenge his government to support equal opportunities for all it's citizens.

Yeah I'm not with the excuses game. Cats from the same situation as me saying that shyt I'm like nah bruh tell that shyt to somebody from a different place than where we from. Blacks can do a lot it's just we have to believe and go out and do it. We have a great chance to make things happen now but it's always a limiting belief as a collective F that mentality. We can't catch up overnight but we can start now though and that's always the hardest part.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

...yeah thats the attitude....and no our grat leaders fought so we can have opportunity and uprise.....and they were successful doing this because we have opportunities we would never had dreamed of back 40 years ago...They are rolling over in there grave right now seeing that we took two steps forward and a large step back with what is going on in our inner cities.

So if it was so successful, why are you against continuing the fight? Why do you consider it "complaining"

And how have we taken a "large step back"? black people are much better off today than they were in the past, so where is the step back?

shytt is funny when you think about.

How much do you want the government to do?

OK. Lets legalize drugs and get black men out of prison.

Then what?

You ain't getting reparations or any of that. Thats shyt is long gone.

Now what do you want? Cause I know ya'll hate the word "welfare"

Ya'll stay moving the goalposts.

Like I said. You're 12% of the population. Thats not going to change and hasn't changed in close to 100 years. In fact, the numbers of black people are probably going to stay the same of they dont' diminish in the next few years.

Now what are you giong to do about it?

I ain't say civil rights wasnt important, but its not called civil dependence either.

Ya'll REFUSE to acknowledge your own autonomy yet try to invoke the 60s.

White people have BEEN looking for reasons to say we're "post racial" since the day after Barack won the election in 2008.

They've been calling ya'll government dependents in every sense of the word for DECADES. Now is their chance to win back their influence. They're already dragging Obama's administration through the mud.

The social experiment is failing.

I'm telling ya'll that the hammer is about to be dropped.

Are you telling me that those in power aren't looking to exploit these comments and reword them?

READ the comments on the articles. Its nothing but white people over this shyt. They can't wait to put you down even further.

Obama is the new standard for black excellence in the eyes of the majority and you all BETTER be trying damn hard to achieve a fraction of that.

When Dr. King stood up and spoke about racism and inequalities was he making "excuses"?

 

[posterchild336]

And how have we taken a "large step back"? black people are much better off today than they were in the past, so where is the step back?

if i look at whats going on in today and i am black and get angry and embarrassed such as seeing senseless murder rates, black on black crime, ignorant music, pants sagging, drop outs, drug etc etc thats how we are taking steps back. If i am saying this imaging what non minorities are saying about us....Thats how, our heroes fought so we can get out the struggle, all this behaviors have a direct affect on how we are viewed and thats how its hurting us.

by the way we need to fight with our mental...not look at reasons why we are held down and justify why it is the way it is..

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

When Dr. King stood up and spoke about racism and inequalities was he making "excuses"?

King is dead.

That era is over.

Obama is in office.

Thats the new standard.

Going back in time only makes you feel like more a victim than you really are today.

Don't give people a reason to shyt on you.

Remember how Obama passed up the black establishment and went right to the white house? Had all the prominent black talking heads pissed off that he wasn't vetted through them? Jesse Jackson wanted his nuts cut off. Remember that?

Obama is damn near CLEAN on a personal level. Outside of administrative issues ON THE JOB, his personal life is spotless.

No Scandals. No discrepancies. nothing.

THE BEST they could do was jeremiah wright (which everyone misunderstood) and TRY to do the birth certificate bullshyt.

The boy Barry is trying to put ya'll on game.

If you believe that, then I have a lake front house to sell you in Arizona.

For example, white are likely to be convicted for the same crime as a black committed. Or a white person is more likely to receive loan than black person with same income and credit score. I could on and on.

For people to be this lost said. What so funny is when you look back in history. People like you was spewing the same rhetoric during the Civil Right era. You can at old videos and article that hundreds of people saying the black people were complaining too much. And that they didn't have it so bad.

 

[Rawtid]

Son, shut up.

There is no way you can equate the inequalities black people faced in the fukking 60's to the "inequalities" faced in 2013.

Our ancestors fought to have the RIGHT to be educated...on the most basic level yet you're still talking about we don't have the same books as white schools so that's why we are behind. Please get the fukk out of here with that.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

You have taken the same argument white people have been using to oppress people that look like you for decades, and turning it back on your own people. You see a black man down and automaticaly jump to the conclusion that he is "lazy" and squandering opportunities all while ignoring the realities of society.

Our leaders in the past were called "complainers" and told to just "try harder" but they didn't listen to that. They kept fighting for equality and in turn you are benefiting from that fight.

You know how you avoid this?

DON'T GIVE PEOPLE A REASON TO shyt ON YOU.

If you know the odds are stacked against you in court...DONT END UP IN COURT!

Thats the point.

Once you're in the legal system fighting for your freedom, its too damn late.

You should have known better at that point.

I can only feel so bad for someone who "opens their eyes" when the judge is staring them down.

If you want a better loan...GET YOUR MONEY/EDUCATION RIGHT.

NO EXCUSES son.

NONE.

Make them LIE on you rather than you disqualify yourself.
