i disagree. we talk about issues within the black community all the time. we have to take more personal responsibility, be smarter and more goal oriented with our economic power and get back to being family oriented with black men being the leaders on those initiatives. those and other issues are discussed in depth. .
That is certainly not the majority opinion on this forum or any other black forum I've seen on the internet. If you ask black people what is the primary problem with black america they will say racism. I know this for a fact because I've debated people here on these topics for the past few months and the overwhelming consensus here is that I'm an "uncle tom" or a c00n for criticizing black people.
And no, I have never denied racism. They paint me as a c00n simply because I point out that we have problems within the black community that are not due to white people.
in terms of a black person speaking out.....it's not what you say, but how you say it. also the basis for those statements. how those arguments are put together could make your comments be perceived as koonish. in my experience a lot of people post or say things in an inflammatory way and back it up with anecdotal or hypothetical commentary that doesn't represent the real world issues or avg black person. they also regularly ignore real and common issues that blacks have to navigate through. when that happens then, yes, the koon alert might come out.
Yes, its how you say it. If the overall message you project does not fall in line with the narrative of the white man holding us down, then you are a c00n. If you don't believe me, then show me a thread on this forum or any forum on the entire internet where someone criticizes the black community without other blacks labeling him as a c00n. It cannot be done, period.
white people talking about issues within the black community or issues they have with black people is a touchy subject because most white people can't acknowledge white privilege.
That's completely irrelevant. What does white privilege have to do with blacks making up disproportionate amount of murders in this country? Blacks make up 13% of the population yet they commit like 45% of murders. What does a discussion about violence within the black community have to do with white privilege?
they can't accept that the large majority of the issues we face are of their doing.
You just ruined all your credibility here. Of corse you don't agree with my whole post because you're another negro that takes pride in being a victim. What I am saying runs completely contrary to the narrative you want to project.
they have trouble acknowledging that even if they don't participate directly in bigotry, racism and oppression of the black community that they still benefit from it.
What's the relevance? What does this have to do with so many blacks dropping out of high school and not attending college?
and they go about their life having 0 interest in why things are the way they are. they just point fingers and blame black people for the issues and struggles we face.
Well there's a couple of reasons for this.
1. Black people do not want to take blame for anything.
2. Black people are in fact the cause of a lot of problems within the black community. Again, what is the white man doing to make blacks drop out of school and kill each other?
3. Black americans are like the boy who cried wolf. You say everything is racist. Quite literally everything and this trayvon martin case just proved it. Trayvon martin OJ simpon are proof that the majority of blacks don't care about the issues concerning anything. They jump at the chance to be a victim of racism and will cling to it till the very end. When you say everything is due to racism no one is going to believe you when you point out something that actually is due to racism.
