Okay...good enough for now.
Okay, I agree that lots of behavior that is common among young black men is disturbing...very disturbing. But so is a lot of behavior that is common in young white men.
I agree.
The whites' behavior is different from the blacks' behavior in that it is not as overt. Blacks form mobs and attack businesses owned by whites or other ethnicities. Conservative whites want to take over the government and make it serve only their interests while letting everyone else twist in the wind. Or they form paramilitary, anti-gubmint militia groups and plot against others.
That aside, I suggest it is not especially helpful to post as many bullshit stories about blacks in general along the lines Volsrocks does regularly. So some of us take issue with him (her, it) because of that.
Yes, and I've said as much before.
Opening the subject for discussion is fine, but just posting negative story after negative story for the sake of saying
"See??? We told you so!!! These people are no good and should be feared, hated and rejected by society!!!" is counterproductive.
It's like justifying MAGA because without them, the black menace will overtake us, etc, etc.
I am about as far left as one can be (proudly so) and I have never suggested any such thing. I don't think that is what I have been hearing from others to the left of center. Perhaps I am fooling myself. But perhaps you are.
Well, the lack of addressing a problem can be interpreted as tacitly condoning it or, as I suggested, regarding those involved as being 100% blameless.
Agreed.
Sorta agree.
Agreed.
All cultures have disturbing antisocial tendencies in America. As you note, black youth certainly do; women do; white men do; liberals do; MAGA influenced do...and on and on. Volsrocks starts this bullshit goddam near every day. I am delighted some people take the time to tell him to go fuck himself...and I applaud myself for taking the time to applaud them.
Certainly one's apparent motive affects perception of what they say.
I think rather than telling these guys to go fuck themselves, it's better to deconstruct their message, point out which parts carry some truth and which parts don't.
If the message appears to be
"blacks are all bad people period and should be shunned and excluded from society", that is obviously going over the edge. If one points out that even though certain segments of their community have issues that need fixing, the majority of them are decent, law-abiding citizens whose main flaw seems to be that they don't want to speak out against the segment causing the problems, one can more effectively plant the seeds of reason.
Beats the shit out of me. But I am reminded of a comment the late Jesse Jackson once made in an interview. He was walking down the street in the District one night and heard footsteps behind him. He turned...and said he was relieved to see that the person was a white man.
I doubt even he could answer that question of yours.
Yes, I remember that comment.
He caught a lot of flack for that as did other black celebrities at the time for attempting to acknowledge the situation.
So did Chris Rock for his famous
"I love black people but I hate ni**as" routine.
As long as blacks get shouted down for speaking out, they will remain silent.
Social media sites like YouTube are one place where you can find young blacks speaking out against other young blacks who lack a sense of responsibility to the rest of their people.
