Time and time again, we seem to be presented with a complete disconnect with how violent black youths present themselves and what is real.
Trayvon Martin, we presented as a young moral boy who was afraid for his life while Michael Brown as a gentle giant--both with bright college futures ahead of them.
Regardless of what positive virtues they may have had, it's pretty clear that neither strived to be gentle or striving for educational excellence. It seems that both fully embraced the black violent gang culture and this culture embraced them back. If either of these two were anything like the images presented of them, I'm pretty sure they would be greatly rejected by their peers. It seems to be important for young black men to present the image of being as tough, anti-law, and as violent as possible. Yet, whenever there is a potential white vs. black incident, they wish everyone to believe the exact opposite. In fact, they are extremely offended if you do not believe that Trayvon was a weak and frightened child. They are angry if you do not believe Michael Brown was not a scholarly saint. They are filled with so much passion that at that moment, they themselves believe these presentations to be true!
So my question is how do the violent inner city youths really view themselves?
Do they simultaneously view themselves as violent tough gangstas and gentle doves?
How do they really want the rest of society to view them?
As kind and harmless citizens or a dangerous force to be reckoned with?
If it's so important to be viewed the way they present Trayvon and Michael, then why do they go out of their way to protest with violence?
Your thoughts?
Right - when was the last time whites rioted when a black cop shot a white person? All they need is some excuse. And I’m not being racist. It’s just being obvious.
I do think African-American culture is too far gone to be saved. In fact, I do see over the next 100 years African-American culture going into very rapid decline as they are overtaken by Latino, Asian and other ethnic groups.
“Thug culture. Its the natural consequence.
When you see the burnt out stores, you may begin dimly to understand that poverty doesn’t cause crime, crime guarantees and reinforces poverty.”
Quite correct.
There is no better way to become poor than to commit a crime and get caught, or become addicted. It is the sociopathic evil of ghetto thugs that makes them poor. Is it genetic? Or, is it cultural? Who cares. I don’t. Build bigger prisons.
And the powers that be like it that way.
Agreed.
Civil rights are for civilized people.
Bill Ayers version of education, the kind which does not teach students morality, and has created the sociopaths, began its operation in the inner cities about 30 to 40 years ago. You add the fact that 70% of the homes with kids in them have no father figure and also proximity to the drug and gang culture - and you got yourself a recipe for creating sociopaths.
Thank you Lyndon Baines Johnson.
I don’t care how they view themselves. I care how I view them.
They don’t view themselves, they only see what is the next thing they want - not need.
The ‘fez’ just lays me out.
Yes, but they are more likely to destroy their own neighborhood than do anything that harms “whitey”.
Are you sure that picture isn’t from Iraq or Gaza! They look like the same, slobbering at the mouth maniacs as over there.
Look, there is no act that advances social justice more than smashing a shop window and grabbing a flat screen TV.
I have a friend who is a teacher in an inner city school. He is a big guy — around 6’ 3” and over 200 lbs and has a commanding presence due to his size, and he gets respect there because he constantly demands it.
I was at a party were two of his fellow teachers from the school joined him, both males as well. One of them described the students as “violent.” And guess what? They teach grade grade school, 1st - 5th grade. The stories they could tell.
It starts early.
And burning down the primary sources of jobs in the hood.
” I do see over the next 100 years African-American culture going into very rapid decline “
It’s hard to imagine it declining any further.
We had it here (Cincinnati) just a few blocks from my office. Pure thuggery. I thank the police dogs. They were the only public officials that seemed to get it right.
four words...
Mohammed Abdrool Ackbar Johnson....
It won't affect them. They're unemployable anyway. No one will hire them if they talk and dress like thugs.
somali “protestors”..? in Ferguson?.../s
