I've never suggested that Black people aren't humane enough to enjoy each other's company, what I've suggested is, the likelihood of their being a non-constructive outcome is far higher when Black people get together to "hang out" with no plan to do something of constructive value. Again, when the violence happens, everyone wants to talk about the lack of economic opportunities and lack of education all while glossing over steps we can take to minimize conflict.
Complaining about lack of opportunities in the Black community does zilch to address the violence in those communities.
You are making a wicked and almost hitler-esque suggestion while offering up zero parameters or variables to it, which leaves it open to interpretation.
My suggestion:
If you do not like the way I(and pretty much the rest of the site) am interpreting what you are suggesting, then clear it up. And you can start THAT process, by first telling us what exactly does Matthew consider to be “constructive”? I’ve asked this of you before, but to no avail.
What is okay, according to you, for Black people to do together since, according to you, we are so uncivilized that we are prone to violent acts if we are simply “hanging out”.
Let me stop and explain something reallllll quick.
You see, it’s very important that you set these parameters first, before spewing your naive garble because, take me, personally, for example:
aimlessly “hanging out” with other Black people is a VERY constructive activity. It enriches my very soul. I’ve had my heartiest laughs, deepest conversations, and most concrete reasonings, while simply “hanging out” with other Black people.
And I shouldn’t even have to mention this(only a c00n would need to hear this) but also, in my experience, it has RARELY lead to violence.
So do you see how that completely changes the spectrum of what you’re saying, to that of just relativity? And surely you want to attach more to your suggestion than that, right? Set those standards.
Human beings are social creatures. As a matter of fact we are THEEE most social creature on this planet. Socializing/having contact with one another literally HAS HEALTH BENEFITS for crying out loud.
But, let you tell it, Black people aren’t human enough and don’t possess enough civility to engage in this deeply woven basic human social behavior, and you are wrong.
Edit - TL;DR
• you’re wrong.
