but can't we be proactive, as responsible black men and women, and remove OUR children from any association with these people in the ghetto? i'm about to have a child, and i don't want my child be around that kind of element. I want her to grow up to be a beautiful black woman that will be articulate, responsible, self-respecting, and proud of being black.
many people in the hood hate being black. they literally wake up despising their color, feeling depressed because they were born black men and women in a society that has consigned them to poverty. that's largely why they act the way they do. it's self-hate, and that feeling manifests itself in how they treat other black people.
i don't believe in marriage, but i definitely believe in being a father to my child(ren).
i already have created a child with a black woman. but that doesn't mean i can't continue to take my people to task for their behavior. the answer is easier than you make it. if middle class/upper middle class black people cut off the ghetto crowd, we will make significant inroads in this society TODAY. these people need to be ostracized. in every hood across america, the ghetto crowd needs to be shamed out of existence. ignored. shunned. ridiculed. laughed at. we shouldn't even try to help them anymore. it's pointless and a waste of money that can be used to help those black people that actually matter.
