I don't think there is a fucking link
100%!!!But now that stick togetherness is a burden and as Charles Barkley has said, it sets up a system where blacks pull each other down
They actually lost wealth as a % since the civil rights ended. Think they caught caught in the trap of welfare being seen as true aide and sticking together, and before they could react, they were stuck.100%!!!
Until Blacks became equal under the law (first slavery, then segregation, then redlining, etc.) nothing else mattered so political power was the way forward.
IMHO, Black people would have closed much of the gap if they would pivoted to “education and career” training over the 50 years following the Civil Rights Movement.
Yeah agreed, and trying to get people to understand that pointing out counterproductive culture shouldn't be considered racist is difficult. Theres certainly parts of everyones culture that can be garbage, but the one ensnaring inner city youth today is the most damaging yet its never even talked about.I feel like there has been a lot of babies thrown out with the bath water. Yes there are aspects of what we got rid of that were burdensome to society but many positives were thrown out as well
That said, yes this CRT nonsense basically allows blacks to not be introspective and not learn about what they are doing. It’s very clear that sticking together and expecting all members to “act black” is damaging. But instead we get oh racism is why and the echos of racism. It’s dishonest and it helps exactly no one that isn’t a grifter
Shelby Steele thinks Black people have found “power” in being a victim which robs them of any hope of succeeding in life.Think they caught caught in the trap of welfare being seen as true aide and sticking together, and before they could react, they were stuck.
Out of likes. It makes sense, and I think that article has a solid point. These recent protests have been finding a victim that fits a narrative so they can show that they are being oppressed. Anyone opposing this view is a racist.Shelby Steele thinks Black people have found “power” in being a victim which robs them of any hope of succeeding in life.
Shelby Steele argues 'racial victimization' pushed by Democrats has stripped black people of power

I agree. There are aspects of any culture that are bad or unnecessary. Butt to say it about blacks and anything that is harming their own community, it is racist and shuts down all debate.Yeah agreed, and trying to get people to understand that pointing out counterproductive culture shouldn't be considered racist is difficult.

Honestly I don’t know and you could be right. But at this stage anything that closely resembles their narrative they’ll take and run with it. We’re at the point where a black guy whistling at a girl sparked riots, just on the flip sideOh, to be a fly on the wall where the powers that he decide which victims to pursue and which ones they won’t. My guess is that Andre hill, who was totally murdered by a Columbus cop, was too light skinned to fit in and his case is all but forgotten.
I’m really trying to understand what the BLM activists want from society so I tried to get educated …Anyone opposing this view is a racist.
There isn’t a coherent platform. Good on you for trying to understand all the nonsense but it’s just a mess and it gets into you being a racist for not being a racistI’m really trying to understand what the BLM activists want from society so I tried to get educated …
Ibram X Kendi was interviewed by VOX and he said a capital gains tax cut would be racist since it benefits stockholders and the majority are White.
Robin DiAngelo tells everyone White people are racist, there’s nothing they can do about it, and even denying they are racist only proves they are a racist.
If anyone can make sense of this nonsense … they are a better person than me.

Why on Earth did they wait 10 minutes to get this guy a medic … shootings like this make me think some police officers are a bit too quick to shoot.My guess is that Andre hill, who was totally murdered by a Columbus cop, was too light skinned to fit in and his case is all but forgotten.
If you take all the police shootings of Black people in a given year and remove all the armed suspects, then remove all the suspects who are resisting arrest on camera … you end up with a handful of police shootings of Black people.Most of these police killings escalated because the guy resisted arrest

I know a few police officers … I wonder what they would think of the Andre Hill shooting.This guy didn’t fight or run, or do anything that was even suspected of needing deadly force.

While I admit the right number would be ZERO … that’s impossible in a country with more than 330 million people and all these “peaceful” protests don’t do a thing to solve any real issues facing the community (fathers in the home, academic skills deficit, unemployment).

I have no idea what I would do if I was scared and / or full of adrenaline, had a gun in my hand, and a guy walked out of a garage holding something.
It does appear at times the police shoot a bit too quickly like this one …
No Charges For LAPD Officers
Beck faulted the officers for jumping to the conclusion that Dorner was in the truck. Beck said the officers compounded their mistake by shooting in one another’s directions with an unrestrained barrage of gunfire.
