There have been a lot of sidebar conversations in multiple threads about the status of Black Culture in our society, so I figured I would make a thread that would focus specifically on those topics.
Some topics that were brought up in multiple threads:
Lack of unity
Exploitation
Glorification of destructive behaviors
Hypocrisy in music
Lack of leadership
As a black man I feel like honest discussions on these controversial topics needs to happen. We need to self reflect and address some of these issues so we can move forward as a people and as a culture. It seems like we were more together as a people when we were outwardly oppressed. Now that the oppression has been woven into the fabric of our nation and we are seemingly equal... we call each other ******, glorify violence against each other, and are as divided as ever.
Thoughts?
Its pretty obvious. Guys wanna act hard, act badness. Instead of promoting education, hard work, they promote bad behavior, looting, gangs, violence, and taking the easy way out. Culture is exactly what you see in movies, art, media, music, etc, There‘s no secret.
Funny thing is that they act like they are a minority when they ain‘t, and keep playing that card. There are plenty of other groups out there that are minorities but to some, they lack swag, they wildin out, or whatever.
Just 2 cents.
