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

[MeachTheMonster]

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.

Not trying to equate them. The fact is that inequalities are still there and we should continue to fight them.

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.

When Dr. King fought for our RIGHT to be educated. There was plenty of schools fo us to go to. He was fighting for us to be given equal educational resources and opportunities. So why is it now that you think this fight doesn't mean anything? According to you kids don't need books an quality teachers to learn, so why do you support his fight for equality, but not the modern fight for equality?

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.

Then don't do crimes? There are plenty of black men and women that manage to make it through life without committing an offense serious enough to land them in jail.

In terms of your credit score, live w/i your means or pay your bills on time? or how about save up your money so you won't have to borrow? These things are all feasible.

In your two examples , people have the power to fix these things without going through a system they KNOW is unequal. C'mon.

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're putting words in his mouth.

He didn't say anything about what he sees in other people.

He is saying that you are more in control of your life than you've EVER been so don't think that some of your misfortune isn't your own causing.

Pay attention.

I could just as easy gather from all your postings that all black people are innocent of every crime or mistake they've ever done.

how are you telling me that..I am black, I live through the struggles that they are not aware of...I live here and my 2nd home is on an island, so I can speak about the infrastructural differences that you would not have an idea about..I LIVE IT so i can do that, I am exposed to things that a person who have never lived outside of the border wouldnt understand.. White make that assumption and what is going on with our people now and everything that i said above gives them a stronger argument to live off that assumption, so we are bringing ourselves down if you see it or not...

I guess bill cosby was right.

Even if you try to tell nikkas not to do illegal shyt or live within their means they'll STILL find a way to deflect blame to someone else.

Ya'll been under so long ya'll don't even realize what you're hiding for...

 

[MeachTheMonster]

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.

that era is never over. You or Obama wouldn't exist without the work of Dr. King.

And I'm not even sure what you are getting at with the rest of your post.

 

[El Bombi]

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.

This same rhetoric was commonly spewed during the Civil Rights era. You can read article that was saying, that all MLK and Malcolm X do is complained. And that MLK should've not went to Washington and expected the government to do anything about the issues in the black community. Also even with the poor people movement MLK started just before he died, was setting up tints in front of Capital Hill.

But guess it's ok for Gays, Hispanics, Tea Party and Occupy wall street to expect things from the government. But when blacks do the same thing, then are considered complaining.

It's sad how history repeat itself.

bruh. The tea party was about economics and policy. Not institutional racism.

That alone makes me wonder what you're bytching about.

No one is saying you can't push for institutional change but WE ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH ON OUR OWN.

We simply ARE NOT.

And i hate to keep saying this, but I SWEAR to you that you'll wish you'd listened when Obama was in office.

This is the last ditch effort for nikkas to get it together. After 2016, its a WRAP for the black man.

Please tell me what institutional changes you want to see for black people in 2013.

i'd love to hear it.

Then tell me which ones have to come from the government.

Don't go back farther than 2008 with any of your statements.

now remember you're 12% of the population and have been for nearly 100 years.

You can push for all the top down change you want, but the ground work is NOT being laid.

nikkas aren't even on the same footing they were on in the 70s.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

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.

All of that was worse back then. Murder rates, drug use, black on black crime, was way worse back then. And our educational/economic achievment is better now than its ever been. So again how are we 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.

You need to quit listening to what non-minorities are saying about YOUR people. They are making you view your own people in a negative light. Judging by your posts in this thread, you'd rather regurgitate what they are telling you about your people instead of looking at things for what they really are.

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..

How can we fight if we don't know who the enemy is? How can I teach my son to overcome racism/inequality if I don't teach him what it is?

 

[Lakers Offseason]

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

:rashad: Are you trying to compare the situation blacks are in now to the situation it was back then when Dr. King made that speech?

The only thing I advocate is equal opportunities for our kids. And equal treatment by the goverment/criminal justice system. Those are institutional changes that we can and should fight for.

And why do you say the bolded? "nikkas" were fukked in the 70s rampant crime, drug use, poverty are something we should be looking to replicate?

No I'm comparing the fight for equality. He started the fight and we need to finish it.

Oh...so you NOW you acknowledge we're better off today than in the 70s.

See how that works?




So if less is holding you back today, at what point do you look INWARDS, young brother?
