I also said its not just about that how we are perceived. Regardless if people like to admit it or not people are heavily influenced by things like music and media. That is people in general. What are we allowing younger generations to be influenced by without the majority having any other type of guidance? There has always been, rachetness around. Ratchet is just the popular word for it now, but there was also balance and parenting. Pride, self love/worth and community is rarely being taught. Poverty is glorified vs. just a situation and trying to get out from under it. Glorifying ignorance,to the point people don't want to better themselves because its popular.

I pronounce us ready to eat. Amen.
When we were in suits and ties and starting our own businesses en masse they still hated us, and did everything in their power to destroy it.
This "if we just acted better/had better representation in the media/stopped making violent music/stopped fighting on camera/etc they would like us" mentality is pointless.
No matter what outward appearance we have, racists are gonna racist. They will find some other "reason" to point to as the source of their inherent hatred.
Stop caring about their approval and do you. We need to care about fixing these images for us, not for them. 'Cause them is going to hate us no matter what.

for those of you saying "who cares what white people think" as yourself a few questions. why have they positioned us in the global media as savages, subhuman, hyper-sexual beings since the 1800s? Many black brothers and sisters throughout the diaspora have internalized this anti-black (american) propaganda. It's why you often hear Africans, Caribbean blacks, and South American blacks sounding like straight up KKK members. It's quite obvious that the white owned media has adapted to anti black propoganda, and use ignorant black people to perpetuate it. It shouldn't be representative of all black people, but it is unfortunately. This country has a long history of portraying us negatively. Ya'll need to know this.
Minstrel shows lampooned black people as dim-witted,[1] lazy,[1] buffoonish,[1][2] superstitious, happy-go-lucky,[1] and musical. The minstrel show began with brief burlesques and comic entr'actes in the early 1830s and emerged as a full-fledged form in the next decade. By 1848, blackface minstrel shows were the national artform, translating formal art such as opera into popular terms for a general audience.[3]
The Birth of a Nation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The film was a commercial success, though it was highly controversial owing to its portrayal of black men (some played by white actors in blackface) as unintelligent and sexually aggressive towards white women, and the portrayal of the Ku Klux Klan (whose original founding is dramatized) as a heroic force.[5][6]

Best post yet.
This is exactly what i dont understand. We are so quick to shrug the INTENTIONAL MANIPULATION/DISTORTION of our image off with a simple "bu bu but they never liked us anyway".
By now we should all be aware that the intentional manipulation of the black image is a common practice. Why are we so ok with this happening tho? Why are we so quick to go so far as to actually defend it? You are right, every other group covets their image. They defend their image. They fight for their image. We dont. We dont care obviously. But why is this? THIS is the question that needs answering. Why are we so content to stand by idly while "others" rape our image? Them J*ws dont play that shyt

I saw that video. On the most disgusting and vile videos I've ever seen and L's for all the dudes in that video.
What is this disorder you speak of?
What business have you started and successfully run? I think he's good without you advice
I don't think you have a clue on what you're talking about. WS is irrelevant to any and everything concerning black people
You are typing a whole bunch of words that prove you have no understanding of black folk or society
