Older black men dropped the ball, they're a damn disgrace

[Knuckles Red]

As a black person, it all just feels so pointless sometimes. Looking around, and seeing other communities prospering then looking at your own, and not seeing that progress. I don't even feel comfortable out in public anymore because of everything thats been going on with young black dudes getting shot, and killed. Sucks when you realize the entire earth hates you because white people told them to. Its gets overwhelming sometimes, certainly doesn't help my depression.

Some of y'all in here blaming gen x this baby boomers that. You don't know why that person ended up on the streets begging. Don't some of you even know some history, some of those beggars on the street served in Vietnam and came back addicted to heroin and was all kinds of mentally screwed up afterwards. Learn to have to have some sympathy before you go talking about nikkas begging and stuff.

a lot of our grandparents bought into the multiculturalism lie. they didn't teach our parents generation shyt about white supremacy, businesses, ownership, etc. then we got raised totally oblivious to system we were born into. the older generation believed jobs would always be readily available, like we could inherit that shyt.

and i feel you, @DrX, i get tired of seeing these old zombie lookin nikkas on the streets begging for change as well. especially when they're accosting black women, shyt is embarrassing.

even if they were held accountable, it wouldn't change the conditions of black neighborhoods. it's just frustrating that every other group is basically being passed the batton from what their fathers and grandfathers built. meanwhile, we start from scratch with nothing but the shirt off our backs. like black men born in the 80s and 90s are now responsible for building a better black community--which especially frustrates me when it pertains to the rhetoric we hear from a lot of black women.

"Hold them accountable" and then what?? What you going to do tell how worthless they are, get a job, you think they give two fuks about what some kid is saying to them. You can't hold a person accountable if they're not willing to take responds unity. I can't imagine what they've gone through to make them want to leave everything behind to live life on the street as a beggar, I can guarantee you they didn't think they'd end up that way.

Why start with Baby Boomers?

Certain practices (pathologies if you will) have ALWAYS been more common among blacks.
