8 Arguments Used to Blame Black People for Their Own Oppression — and How to Counteract Them
The Atlanta Black Star ^ | January 15, 2015 | Nick Chiles

Black people are too intent on holding on to wrongdoings from the past. Therefore, they keep blaming someone else for their problems.

The list of wrongs done to Black people throughout their history in the U.S. that are still resonating in their lives today is extensive and extremely disturbing. As a result of hundreds of years of subjugation in an oppressive, racist system, Black households have one-tenth the wealth of white households in this country. While the Civil Rights Era enabled African-Americans to make great advances in the past 40 years — achieving high school, college and post-graduate degrees at accelerating rates — the disparities are still enormous and will take many generations to overcome without direct intervention. And by the way, the leveling of the playing field helps white people by enabling previously disadvantaged citizens to contribute to the nation’s economy to the full extent of their potential.

If Blacks weren’t committing so much crime, they wouldn’t get so much attention from police.

The common impulse of whites has always been to blame Blacks for pathologies that whites played a central role in creating. Criminologist Charles Silberman wrote in 1978 that “it would be hard to imagine an environment better calculated to evoke violence than the one in which black Americans have lived.” Pretending Black crime is a Black-created problem is like pretending New Orleans never got hit by a hurricane. Since the epidemic of unarmed Blacks being killed by police comes not when Black crime is high but when it is at its lowest level in generations, this argument that police are in Black communities because of the prevalence of crime appears not to be substantiated by the facts. Homicides committed by African-Americans declined by half between 1991 and 2008....

They are doomed if they listen to the bull$hit spouted by the author of the article.

Genetics don’t mean squat.

Brainwashing -does-

And it (btrainwashing) must be resisted by all humankind, irregardless of color.

Black people must not listen to those who call them “uncle tom” for wanting to better themselves...

Success has no color, freedom has no hue.

I want to add that in my business experience (long time ago it seems), everyone that I met that exceeded in business, my boss in most cases, had a very high IQ (160+). I’m sure that there were others that had there futures propped up by family money). But these smart folks had the ability to start and direct a business, and succeed. So while I understand your put-down, I would advise you to re-think your ideas about smart folks. They tend to succeed in business (especially start ups) where others fail.

A man who was committing a crime he’d been hauled in for dozens of times before who then resisted arrest. Weak sauce.

How about a flash bang grenade in a baby’s face during a no-knock raid?

Well, out of a nation of 330 million people, you were able to find one.

At best this victimization business is an attempt to empower blacks. But, in reality this mindset does just the reverse. You do not empower someone by making victims out of them. The source of empowerment is social and cultural evolution. We in European derived culture have had 2000 years of social and cultural evolution where habits, values, attitudes and skills conducive towards building and maintaining a modern advanced culture are gained and passed on to generations. That is how long it takes to go from an aboriginal or post aboriginal society to where we are now. Blacks have only Had 200 to 300 years of living in that kind of a society. Many have caught up which is to be expected and many have not which also is expected. Putting people on welfare and not expecting anything out of them just causes them to regress. They have to go through this process and that is the real source of empowerment. Filling their heads with talk of redistributing the wealth or reparations has the same effect as making them dependent on welfare (regression).

The real point of liberal BS is to patronize and clientize them and turn them into a political force that will empower very wealthy and very white liberal urban gentry types and their hard core socialist and communist allies.

The bastard rate in black communities is 70-80%. Half of young black men in cities aren’t working or are in and out of jail. Meanwhile, black elect candidates that encourage Hispanics to take the few manual labor jobs left.

It’s really a moral collapse within the black community caused, mostly, by liberal Democrat money hand out vote buying.

Marion Berry being elected after he was busted with crack cocaine. Dollar Bill Jefferson in New Orleans elected after he was busted. Jesse Sr.’s women on the side. MLK’s women on the side and Communist ties.

Blacks are at this point mostly to blame for their own problems in their own community and the primary cause is their own moral failure.

But... nobody has the guts to say that.

Who was the one man who did? Bill Cosby. A serial rapist (allegedly).

That about sums up blacks in 2015.

I thought Obama being elected would finally put the race pimps out of business. It’s gotten worse. This shows it will NEVER end.

White guilt is being used to manipulate the white voters into voting for something not only against their own self interest, but against blacks as well: The welfare state, ever increasing in size.

I think there’s more of an epidemic of Polar Bear Hunting or “Knockout games” than Po-Po shootings of black choir boys heading to Bible Studies.

“If you actually believe IQ means something in the everyday world, sure, I guess. I’d venture to say it’s vastly more cultural.”

You had better look at the intellectual accomplishments and wide range of ethnicity among successful financial markets traders and investors before you try to rely on that unsupportable argument. It takes smarts, wisdom, patience, persistence, and much more to succeed; and there are many very smart people of any and all cultures who simply fail to muster the capability for success in the financial markets.

If it wasn’t for white people there wouldn’t be 50 million blacks in the USA.

They didn’t swim over here by themselves.

This is a comment at the article website. Either this is one brave white guy, or someone is posting using his name and location. Lots of luck, fellow.

People are getting tired of being called racists 24/7/365, but that might get him in hot water I should think.

But the Democrats created a subculture of gibsmedats with feral, uneducated youth.

However, the Hogs do NOT have to enter the traps!

Heh, I would guess you are right in a sense... We (white people) allowed immigration from Africa. Now in the past, we should have only allowed smart and talented folks into this country but we succumbed to PC correctness early on and so things changed...damn those stupid folks..ha.

Yes, it used to require education or specific skills to get into America along with a citizenship test. Days long gone it seems...

We now allow immigrates with no education, no opportunities, no chance, and no hope of integrating into society. I blame that on the liberals that seem to want unattainable things. Idiots all as they destroy the country and feel good about it.
