Over 90% of black murder victims are killed by other blacks. Protest against yourselves for a change. Cops kill more white guys than black guys.
It's not racism that is making blacks drop out of school or commit violent crimes. It's not racism that is making blacks have children out of wedlock. It's not racism making blacks not work as many hours as others.
shooting each other is just self hatred, same thing that makes most people give the folks around them a hard time.
As far as work, most americans, in my view, are useless, mouthy, lazy. most, of all colors. One thing I'll say about black people today though is that they certainly are not like the black folks from the younger part of my life. They seem totally untethered by culture, family, society, anything. And I don't even know how much of that you can blame on them if that's what you're trying to do. The parents of the last couple generations, mine included, had to work all the time, just to be poor. Whatever the good qualities of at least having a mother in the house and have a community that had some cohesiveness is gone. Black people when I was a kid seemed to take a lot of pride in themselves, in how they dressed, always the best dressed kids in school and always the best athletes, it's so strange to see how many of them carry themselves today, angry, dishevelled, fat, it's not the same. Drugs, the ravages of capitalism, lack of opportunity, ( I had a black stepdad who was probably overqualified for a lot of jobs and he didn't get good jobs until his forties). The white people I have known, in contrast, look out for their own, they get their kids jobs through networks, of course they might not be happy being a college advisor but it sure as hell beats canning fish, working at burger king or all the bullshit jobs that the rest of us have to suffer through. I've never really had a good job, it's ok, thank god for technology, i can do delivery and avoid all the politics and it's actually better than all the bullshit i did before. I hated working in steel mills with a bunch of other assholes who hated life, I hated working in fish joints, bistros, etc.., So, i just did moves and hard physical labor for several years because at least I could be left alone but, I know what being frozen out is, and it usually has nothing to do with any kind of qualifications or lack of, I'm glad i'm past it all now because most people are miserable as hell in their jobs. me? I work when i want, make as much as I want, sure, i have bad days but i can manage those. So, there really are real barriers out here, when you have a million people who need a job, the employer can treat all of us however the fuck they want. Meritocracy is truly a myth, I'm always astounded when someone actually believes in it (usually a woman or some guy who's managed to have some success early in life.)
