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

[Shadow King]

No I don't think you were attacking veterans at all. I was just adding emphasis to the extreme amounts of unprotected sex leading to unplanned babies and numerous abortions.

I think that drugs and wars took a huge toll on the Black community.

I also want to point out that "social services" that offered food/housing/financial assistance from the US government FORCED fathers out of their homes. Because families could NOT receive this assistance of the father was in the home.

The govt did this shyt on purpose to destabilize Black families.

After the Great Migration up north, if a Black family was struggling the father had to choose: STAY and let his family starve/freeze to death or LEAVE and let them receive benefits?

This predated Vietnam, but followed share cropping.

White supremacy/racism has destroyed a LOT of individuals and that's what we're seeing.

People who have simply given up.

The other thing we see is that people are CHOOSING to live a demonic lifestyle.

There's no reason that more Black babies are aborted than born.... None....

There's no reason that men and women are creating babies when all they both wanted was just a nut OR only ONE of them wanted a baby and NOT the other.

I'm not preaching, but it just takes one person at a time to declare that they're NOT going to live that lifestyle.

Just like the brother who posted that he will NOT be a corporate slave for 45+ years.

That's brilliant.

Each person standing up for what's right shines a light in this demonic society that's trying to destroy our people.

Didn't even know black folks had government assistance before the war. Damn.

Damn now that you mention it. I know more older people who have lived paycheck to paycheck for 10+ years, have a lot of kids, working retail jobs, multiple generations living in one house, in and out of jail, fighting, doing dumb shyt, selling their soul for money. Some older people are worst then teens with dumb stuff they do. And a lot don't have money saved up for future generations. No one plans for the long term. If someone dies, either no one has a will or their kids inherit money or property that has to be divided among 50 kids, so everyone gets chump change.

People jump to get the latest phones, cars & clothes, but won't spend $10 on condoms or get an AIDS test. And I notice a lot of the older generation refuse to go to the doctor and won't eat a vegetable to save their life. Older and newer generation just thinks short term everything.

a few years back after i graduated from college...I told them yo this job thing is bullshyt, and that I'm being mistreated because of race....this a is fools game, and that i want to start my own business and be a boss. my mom laughed at me and told me to look for a "good paying job and save for retirement" "all jobs are bad" "get used to it, i hate mines too" ....what type of stupid ass advice to somebody that's 24....so I'm suppose to get bossed around and take racist treatment for 45 years for a little retirement check that i can spend only when I'm to old to do even enjoy it?


they fukked us up....they should've taught us about white supremacy, family economics, ownership, group economics ....

my dad get it, but he isnt as passionate as he should be able the issue... he knows the game.... my mother is a wonderful person, i love her but hes very passive and docile...at her job, she knew grossly mistreated and racially abused but she worked there for 30 years out of fear...all she did was paid bills and struggle to survive...


what type of life is that? and how do u give somebody the same game plan?

Im sure she wouldnt want to guide you to a path of struggling to survive, but from her perspective a son with a college degree, not locked up, and frankly still living, is like you won at life already. just think how frightening it must have been to be the mother of a black son born anywhere from the late 70s to early 90s. so many boys i grew up with, from youngins running up to the ice cream truck, to cutting class to sneak to their house in highschool, are gone. deceased or doing 10+ year prison sentences. You are still here and with a job to boot? I her mind you made it, why rock the boat.

Since after the Great Depression.... The rules were called "Man In The House" rules.

Welfare programs in the United States have always been expected to distinguish between the deserving and the undeserving poor, and on factors other than financial need. The Social Security Act of 1935 instituted the first federal system of poverty relief for children, but the bill also allowed states to adopt “suitable-home laws,” which revoked the grant for children of unmarried mothers who lived with a man or had a child out of wedlock. After World War II, as African Americans fled the Jim Crow South, and the number of all races and ethnicities on welfare grew, local welfare agencies conducted “man in the house” searches — midnight raids to catch unmarried women with men in their beds — until the Supreme Court ruled the practice unconstitutional in 1968.

as much as i hate the idea of black women choosing welfare over black men. it's black mens fault for that shyt. dudes thought it would be a financial burden lifted from their shoulders, along with the potential of being an possible come up.

I don't think it was a "choice." It was let your children starve/freeze to death or get SOME help. Many men and women made the choice TOGETHER.

Remember in the 1940s,50s and 60s employment choices for people in cities weren't as open. And there were hardly any safety nets. This program was DESIGNED to destabilize the families.

I'm not going to fault Black men or women.

Thanks for sharing that. I believe that there are external and internal faults. There are certain situations where black men deserve more blame and certain situations where black women deserve more blame when it comes to internal issues.

fair enough. the programs succeeded because the wrong choice was made--and yes, i believe there was a choice.

we gotta be honest. many men allowed welfare to become daddy. a lot of men had 3-4 BMs, receiving welfare they could pinch off of. a lot of BM felt too comfortable being wreck less, knowing there was a safety net. we see the same behavioral patterns today. BW choosing welfare over the men, because dudes aren't providing comparable to, or better amount of resources.

so yeah, i'm faulting BW for accepting the shyt, and i'm faulting BM for allowing it to go down.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

it starts with us

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

so yeah, i'm faulting BW for accepting the shyt, and i'm faulting BM for allowing it to go down.

'Black' men and women had NO choice. 'Black' people only had about 1% of the Nation's wealth then and only 2-3% now.

Neither sex had an economic 'safety net' since it was denied to them for generations even before Reconstruction.

They still don't.

You're blaming victims that didn't know the true depth of their victimization.​

You are definitely not lying. I see this A LOT. Many black people that I know do not think about leaving something of worth behind for future generations to come.
