Abandoned Shopping Carts, Litter And the Decline of Black America
AmericanThinker ^

Posted on 08/28/2025 8:18:34 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

It appears to be the case that for a very large segment of black America, the ideas of conscientiousness and good citizenship are simply nonexistent.

The bottom line is that a civilized society requires that citizens respect a certain level of behavior and decorum, and we’re seeing too many black Americans ignoring that basic responsibility. When people on the edge of the Overton Window of the culture wars (that is, people most normal Americans would find deeply offensive) start saying things that significant numbers of people agree with, that suggests a tipping point might be near.

Most people that rail against this great country have never even been to any other countries.

I lived in Europe for a time as a kid and have visited several other countries as an adult and from what I’ve seen, there is no doubt America is the greatest country in the world......and it’s not even close.

MANY fail to put carts where they belong.

Indeed - trash comes in all colors.

Bubbles had a good business model. Maybe someone will try it here.

When will certain members here on FR get the cranial rectal removal surgery and realize, ....we are not the same.

I hope this can be changed thru education and tougher backlash against anti social behavior, especially in young children.,

otoh

It may take 100 years to breed out bush behavior thru negative re-enforcement.

Because being nice, giving them excessive generational hand outs, dEI, race hiring quotas, the National black caucus, the NAACP, AND not arresting blm rioters, just hasn't worked. AT ALL.

WE ARE NOT THE SAME.

treat strangers with respect unless its dark and you meet young black men hanging out in the street

If you want to know someone’s character, watch how they treat people who can do nothing for them.

That level of discourse has nearly departed. What is evidenced now is how they treat people who can do nothing TO them. And it's way more than a black problem.

**When will members of the political class acknowledge there’s THIS problem?
When they can no longer make hay from it. So, likely, never.**
Wrongo-it’s fear.

**Most people that rail against this great country have never even been to any other countries. Some blacks moved to Africa and found out they’re American and not African**
The answer is simple. Summer ‘internships’ to Africa for high school juniors. Haiti is closer.

I have heard rumors that in the old days there were civilized black families with wonderful communities many decades ago.

Since I have never witnessed such things myself I have no choice but to classify them as rumors and myths.

Blacks are destroying entire businesses and business models, not by staying away from them, but by showing up.

In the 1970’s my Dad noted that, and called them “Welfare Cadillacs.”

I’ve lived among Black people all my life, half raised by a Black nanny. Those families existed and still exist today.

(I’ve noticed that White culture has certainly devolved, too - and the manner of some of the posters on FR are a perfect example of White cultural devolution.)

NOBODY has the balls to make these points in public, because to say these truths is:

“RACISSSS!!!!”

Hard to fix a problem you can't talk about.

My once clean neighborhood is strewn with litter. roadside, parking lots everywhere. since Obumfk allotted money to cities years back to pay all the residents to move out to the suburbs(To turn red areas purple and to rid the cities of welfare benefits) our neighborhoods look like the inner city now. its fkn disgusting. and when talking to cops about it, asking them to take the CCTV footage from stores and arrest the literbugs, the cops come right out and say they cant do anything about it. total total BS!!

In our area I have not seen a “classic” black family—father, mother, children out together shopping or eating at a restaurant or attending a public event anywhere—for decades.

I am sure they exist somewhere—just never see them...

Except on advertisements.
