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

[posterchild336]

Why not. That's exactly the narative that you were pushing in this thread.

Immigrants come to America and do better than black folks cause they are "lazy opportunity squanderers" is that not what you said?

You also said that the black communty was "taking steps back"

Both of these assertions are false, yet you promoted them with such vigor. Why?

i thought you were joking, you have either an assumption or problem comprehending material you read and drawing your own conclusions.....for real....you know what I know what it is, the same mentality i been saying where you take constructive criticism and take it as insults and get offended and create your own version of what I am saying...

The next thing you probably do is splice up pieces out of my comments and forget about the bigger picture and the whole scope of things...exactly what is being done with obamas speeches

 

[MeachTheMonster]

wait, what? what 2 speeches are you talking about?

both michelle and barack gave essentially the same speech

i called you a hypocrite for attacking the article and also praising the speeches and attacking the speeches

I didn't attack the article. I said it only concentrated on the "tough talk" parts but there was much more to the speech than just that.

The two speeches were different and again i only disagreed with the part of her statement about "ballers and rappers" Barack didnt say anything about ballers or rappers so how could I disagree with that part of his speech?

And again where did I "attack" either speech. I disagreed with a PART of one of the speeches. I wouldn't call that "attacking"

I don't have a problem with it. I just disagree with it. I'm all about cultivating dreams and giving an outlet for kids to achive their dreams. I don't think a kid that dreams of being a rapper is at a disadvantage to a kid that dreams of being a doctor. Depending on support the doctor dreaming kid can end up broke and jobless while the "rapper" dreaming kid can end up a doctor.

Regardless of what they are big dreams and confidence are a plus in my book.

I'm not out to shyt on dreams, but i'm out to inform kids of the opportunities out there to EXPAND their dreams.

And rap star isn't something feasible. At all.

you took the words my context and twisted them...especially with lazy squanders party i never called anyone that, and i said other minorities come and prosper...and yes i said we took two steps forward and a giant step back because WE DID!

how where the 2 speeches different? their theme was the same which is that black people need to do better, barack did say it something about ballers and rappers he just didint say it directly

both speeches are essentially saying that black people need to change our culture and out mentalities to prepare for the future

i think maybe the speeches went over your head

If you cannot make something of yourself United States its just because of being lazy, thats why the asians and indian's come here and excel and get the best jobs and business, they are minorities too, they actualy stick together not make excuses

Now how is a person supposed to interperate this statement? Your saying Asians and Indians are not lazy excuse makers but black people are. Am I reading this wrong?

And no blacks have not taken any steps back. Please prove that statement with some type of demonstrable evidence.

and on top of the priorities are messed up people stand outside and fight to get the newest jordan but wont stand in line for a job or college....look at this video right here, a dude on the coli was about to sell his school books to get the new jordan last month and created a thread on it..thats disgusting

can you honestly watch the video below and tell me you are proud of this and it is not taking steps in backward direction?? people are just laughing at us for real, and you get mad when you see the negative yahoo, youtube etc comments....and point fingers, yeah there is racism but we give them more of a reason to hate...




average assets for a black family is 5k while white is 99k, yet when I went to a club in atlanta for new years a dude told me thurs nights is hip hop nights and they are happy then because they sell out the bar and most of the bottles while white nights are nothing like that..he said in that one night they make more than all other nights combined.

We have hottest iphones yet can barely pay the iphone bill, priorities are ****ed up people stop making excuses for this bs, i know i am not.

I refuse to defind this type of lifestyle, all of these nba ballers broke 4 years after retirement because throwing money away on jewelry and cars, it all starts from young, making the man rich by throwing away cash as soon as it comes and this is just one example of why we are keeping ourselves down, not even going into the killing etc....so keep on going on about 400 of this and that, and liberation this and that its not going to get you anywhere but in the same spot.

Again, unless either of them start talking about OOW births, I don't wanna hear shyt. That's the source of our problems right there. Start attacking these ratchet ass women out here creating welfare babies. Ridicule them. Shame them. Like those ads in NYC. I when I see them joints.

That's your narative, so that's what you heard. But that's not what I got out of them, Baracks in particular was about motivation and fighting through disadvantages. It had nothing to do with changing culture. This part was the most telling to me and sums up what he was getting at.

"We've got no time for excuses — not because the bitter legacies of slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they haven't, "It's just that in today's hyperconnected, hypercompetitive world, with a billion young people from China and India and Brazil entering the global workforce alongside you, nobody is going to give you anything you haven't earned

That is a good message to tell any college student of any race and it has nothing to do with changing culture.


The Obama's embrace black culture, which is why I disagreed with the ballers and rappers portion of Michelle's speech, because they usually embrace ballers and rappers.

how??

 

[Yakno1]

We've got no time for excuses -- not because the bitter legacies of
slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they haven't. Not
because racism and discrimination no longer exist; that's still out
there. It's just that in today's hyper-connected, hyper-competitive
world, with a billion young people from China and India and Brazil
entering the global workforce alongside you, nobody is going to give you
anything you haven't earned.


nikkas will do anything to avoid putting in work.

You have been down talking this entire thread, the f?

 

[MeachTheMonster]

how??

Michelle would choose to be beyonce in another life.

And

Barack has "99 problems but a Mit ain't one"

I was waiting for you to say that, like I said I see how you think you do not break things down well...You really think that she wants to be beyonce and because he made a slogan from a song he "embraces ballers"??? On top of that Jay Z and Beyonce are their personal friends....Man, s**t I know many rap song lyrics but I dont endorse the lifestyle its just music, entertainment, a line that was known worldwide!!!! I guarantee the obamas do not have the little girls picking up microphones and basketballs over the books and telling them thats the future....I had to laugh at this one....how old are you by the way?
