the thing is, the world is corrupt; society, civilization, our thought processes, beliefs.... everything. and selfishness is at the core of itall. it's an inherent human quality. so do you really think global harmony is feasible without some sort of revolution?
 
So I'm a lost cause because I read, and base my response on the OP?

I've never made a thread where I defined my idea of what black america needed to do to make advancements, so saying my argument is counter productive isnull and void. I never make the argument, I point out the flaws in them.

If a thread about white/asian/hispanic advancement were to be made, I'd ask the same questions.

You do love the attention and you know it. I gave you a segway to express your discourse for what I say, and you go the extra mile to bold print, enlarge, andcolor quotes, and add .gifs and pictures... yet when I PMed you, the best response I got from you was 4 sentences at best.

Only time I watch BET is when those good movies are on, such as FRESH.
 
Heres our problem, we have put wealth, money, materialism and vanity on such a scale due to our inner hate due to generations of ridicule, hatred and jealousy.We are a byproduct (Well most of yall) of breeding, unnatural selection, and neglect. We put no value in education and everything in having money. White peoplehave never put money on a high scale because it has never been scarce in their realm. We are just now getting money as far as the black man accumulatingwealth. Black males have entered a cylce of fast money-bearing children with more sexual partners due to fast money-and ultimately dying or going to jail as aresult of the fast money and leaving children behind only for them to enter the same cycle.

I watch Maury Povich almost every morning and 9 times outta 10 theres a black woman testing multiple men to prove paternity, we need to stop exploitingourselves, stop placing money as the ultimate goal, and really stress a good education, until we do that we aint going no where.
 
Dont get me wrong education is definately key in stopping this foolishness. When you know better you do better. I do think it is unfair to just limit thefoolishness to poor and uneducated blacks. My grandparents went through far difficult times growing up in the south with little education and you didn'tsee them doing this type of stuff. At the end of the day, white people are not making us drop out of high school (only 50% of black males graduate high school)white people are not forcing us to have babies we are not ready to take care of. (For some reason it is cute in our community have to have a baby when you areyoung. ) White people are not stopping black men from becoming involved in their child's life. White are not doing any of that. We as black people need tobe accountable for our actions. It's as simple as that. Ice cube said it best we need to get out of this "hood mentality".
 
eNPHAN, you must not have read my post, i said viacom owns BET. Viacom is owned by white people. I thought you could make that connection without me sayingthat. This is not a stereotype because i am not using the actions of a few to make a general statement about all black people. i never said all black peopledo this, but to sit up and act like this dumb stuff don't happen in our community is naive. While other races do fight and booty shake i want to focus on"us" first, make sure we got our selves together before you can help someone else.

i was replying to the OP

you said "we got ****y bet"

no, white people have ****y bet

"we on youtube fighting and shaking booty"

again, black children aren't the ONLY ones youtube fighting and booty shaking,

so again, i ask, why are you singling out black people?




eNPHAN....

- i have a question. BET from what i remember claims ignorance when the content of their programming comes into question. claiming they show what they think wewant to see. have you seen BET-J?

- seen the difference in advertising?
**credit counseling commercials vs. investing
**ring-tone commercials vs. jazz festival commercials

- the difference in programming?
**soul sessions
pimp.gif

**urban cuisine
**my two cents


- BET-J is what BET used to be for those that havent seen it. i just dont understand why they play dumb like they dont know what they're showing when youcan clearly see there is a difference and they know it....

- dont mean anything by it, it's just something i dont understand. i mean, you could take everything off BET-J and put it on BET and the same folks wouldtune in just the same....right?

But OP I feel your pain...every time you walk in a pre-dominantly black club all you see is people posting up looking each other up and down. And when anotherperson walks by the suck their teeth
smh.gif


I gave up on the youth a long time ago!
Today I am sitting on the train (mind you I never sit on the train, just felt like it today) Two girls no more then 14-16 get on the train saying the"n" word and cursing every other word out their mouth!
sick.gif
.Mindyou their are white and Hispanic people around and them
smh.gif
.
My stop is coming so I move away from them, only to be right beside a similar conversation (cursing, saying the "n" word) by two females a lot olderthen me.

This *@%+ is real ridiculous...but that's why I just do me, so I don't contribute to the ignorance of our are race

why is it that everytime these type of threads come up some people assume because we are talking about it we're complaining or not doing anything about it?not saying you are impala but there is always someone that comes in talking about "go do something and stop complaining"
 
I'm white, I'm highly educated. highly responsible, I help others whenever I can. I consider myself what the white race is/should be. What I don'tdo is think that white people who are ignorant or racists, trailer park trash or douchebags represent me or my race.


The only way to change perception is to do you and by doing you I mean be a valued member of this society, don't let dumbasses like Chopper or Lil Wayne beyour representation of your race as a whole. Because we all know they are not , and I know they are not. The more you complain saying "black people whatare we doing, is this what you are" the more others think that's what you are. So ignore them and just say I'm going to do good and I will notfall in to the trap and let ignorance or stupidity represent my race or what I am about.
