Double standards of the so called "black activists"

[water]

I don't know much about these countries so it would be useless for me to start explaining the dimensions of the communities. This is like me asking you to explain to me why Zimbabwe has a high HIV and Aids infection rate. You know nothing about Zimbabwe so you can't answer this question with the much needed intellectual rigor

Simpleton, based on your theory wouldn't it be that black people account for the 52% out of wedlock birth rate in Sweden? There are very little to no black people in Sweden.


Goes back to what I was saying earlier.

The shit is NOT race based, it is a societal problem.

You have been conditioned to believe that there is something wrong with black people and it is inherent because of their race.

I am one of those immigrants you quoted about and I am telling you that you would have a problem identifying who is good and who is bad in a country made up of black people because your only frame of reference is color.......


You have been brainwashed............

Black activists can get thousands to march on Jena, but you never hear of them getting thousands to march on Baltimore or Compton where daily you hear of blacks being victimized by other blacks. It is as though the infrequent white on black attacks are all that troubles the black community rather than an epidemic of black on black crime. One can not really blame Sharpton or Jesse Jackson as the media are obsessed with only certain aspects of the black community, mostly when they are victims of whites. But those thousands who march have to then have to head home and hide behind locked doors and you can be sure the doors are locked not because they fear cops or Lacrosse players. It is a sick situation that boggles the mind.

The problem with you guys is that you are in a state of denial. You can't even notice that you are in self-destruct mode. Talking about Rush won't help solve the high teen pregnancy rate affecting the black community ! Will it ?

70% of black kids are born out of wedlock. To me this looks like a race thing

 

[World B Free]

You don't speak for Black people nigga...have a seat.

It's easy to throw stones and run....rather than deal with real issues. You have not posted one useful idea in this thread.

Also, It's interesting you said "you don't speak for Black people" then you called me a "nigga," well I can see you speak for the "STUPID PEOPLE."..

 

[mike123]

i thought this thread was about how Al shaarpton and Jesse Jackson dont now, and probably have never gotten anything done in regards to black people
which is true



But all this other stuff i aint touchin it

 

[kefta]

This has nothing to do with the white person. Let us stop using them as scapegoats everytime

This has everything to do with the white people that practice racism/white supremacy because they dominate all black people. It's has less to do with "scapegoating" but more with identifying under what context black people find themselves in. oNE!!!

We have got a social disaster in the black community and l think statistics will vindicate me on this one :

1. Nationally, the murder rate for African-Americans is more than three times the average: 19 black murder victims per 100,000 people versus five for the general population.

2. 70% of black kids are born out of wedlock and 70% of black women are single

3.44% of the nation's prison population is made up of black people, and blacks account for 37% of violent crimes, although black Americans are only 13% of the population.

4.According to the 2000 census, blacks make up approximately 13% of the US population. However, in 2005, blacks accounted for 18,121 (49%) of the estimated 37,331 new HIV/AIDS diagnoses in the United States in the 33 states with long-term, confidential name-based HIV reporting.

5.The rate of AIDS diagnoses for black women was nearly 23 times the rate for white women.

6.40% of black men do not graduate high school


Now the aim of this thread was basically to say we got more pressing issues in the black community so we must not waste our energy fighting useless battles with "whitey".

You didn't answer a single question I asked.......

Shows you the lack of intellect you possess.

If you want to post stats I can do that shit all day long too.....

Homosexuality: The demise of white family structure

White people are so caught up on what black people do, say, eat, sleep, shit that they are ignoring the multiple threats their family structure is exposed to.

Among the long list are:

* Arrogance/Ignorance/Denial causing their kids to be dumbed down and feel superior because they were born on this spot of earth. Their self-esteem is not based on achievement

* Anger Issues: their youth is continually consumed with anger. Young white males flipping out and carrying out mass murders in high schools

* Lack of proper role models: Paris Hilton, George Bush, Britney Spears, Mark Foley, Mc Greevey, Ken Lay

* High drug usage: Latest meth epidemic in the Mid-West. High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTAs) are areas identified by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) as having the most critical drug trafficking problems adversely impacting the U.S. The Midwest HIDTA, which includes Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota, was created specifically to fight the spread of meth in the Midwest.

*Homosexuality: Reduced birth rates along with Mexican immigration is going to further speed the destruction of the white family

* High rates of Incest/Rape among their community:
Myth:

"Most sexual assaults are committed by strangers."

Fact:

Most sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim or the victim's family, regardless of whether the victim is a child or an adult.

Adult Victims:

Statistics indicate that the majority of women who have been raped know their assailant. A 1998 National Violence Against Women Survey revealed that among those women who reported being raped, 76% were victimized by a current or former husband, live-in partner, or date (Tjaden and Thoennes, 1998).


Also, a Bureau of Justice Statistics study found that nearly 9 out of 10 rape or sexual assault victimizations involved a single offender with whom the victim had a prior relationship as a family member, intimate, or acquaintance (Greenfeld, 1997).

Child Victims:

Approximately 60% of boys and 80% of girls who are sexually victimized are abused by someone known to the child or the child's family (Lieb, Quinsey, and Berliner, 1998). Relatives, friends, baby-sitters, persons in positions of authority over the child, or persons who supervise children are more likely than strangers to commit a sexual assault.



It seems they have a lot to work on in their community.

Maybe if their Bill (O' reilly) etc would try and focus on these issues at rallies and colleges across the country maybe he could make a difference.

Maybe some black people needs to see the grass is not so green on the other side................

How is the stat you are posting connected to this thread ? Does your stat disprove my earlier claim that there is a social disaster in black America ?

How are you going to blame whitey for black women being 23 times more likely to get aids than a white women ? It seems as if common sense is not that common after all

 

[Mr.Chuckles]

Black activists can get thousands to march on Jena, but you never hear of them getting thousands to march on Baltimore or Compton where daily you hear of blacks being victimized by other blacks. It is as though the infrequent white on black attacks are all that troubles the black community rather than an epidemic of black on black crime. One can not really blame Sharpton or Jesse Jackson as the media are obsessed with only certain aspects of the black community, mostly when they are victims of whites. But those thousands who march have to then have to head home and hide behind locked doors and you can be sure the doors are locked not because they fear cops or Lacrosse players. It is a sick situation that boggles the mind.

I have to agree with what your saying in essence, we need a new generation of young leaders with new ideas jesse, al sharpton and the naacp are fighting the battle on our race behalf and there tactics are getting stale, also we can't use the marches of the 1960's to solve these problems of today it's going to take action to get this done also there is another battle going on with our image and black on black crime and this glorification with living the ghetto life and being a thug i think thats one our biggest concerns right now.

I don't think you mean any harm by trying to get some insight and opinions about how WE as black men and women CAN BE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY!


I think some people are taking you the wrong way and are quick to throw out the (you must be white crap) you make valid points that anyone could stop and think about.


The double standard (in my opinion) is the black parties of yesteryears are not that intune and equiped to handle these black on black issues of today cause now we live in a media age where young black men/women are being influence by negative music in droves, this effects the youth early while they are still in that rebellion stage of there life and are easy subjects to ghetto rap and the thug life crap, there isn't ANY (GOOD BLACK SITCOMS) like GOODTIMES - 227 - THE JEFFERSONS - COSBY - ETC.


Lastly i understand that white's control a large part of the media and the last thing that the NAACP or al sharpton and jesse want to do is start to attack the problem head on thats the lil waynes and 50 cents cause then they alienate themselves from the youth, ( in my opinion) we need more black men and women in powerful media positions such as musicians and actors that represent us and our image in a powerful and upstanding light, if we can catch our youth then the crime rates will decrease amongst our teens.

My dude, really, what the fuck can Jessie and Rev. Al do?
All they can supply is lip service and a bunch of holy rolling church goers who are waiting for Jesus to come and save the day.

And fuck the Devil white Media

The Black community don't need some bullshit march, we need the national guard to march on them animal ass niggas because they have inner city Black communities under siege, they have people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, they have suffering from anxiety, little Black kids have to dodge bullets like they are in a war zone or some shit.

Those gang ass, and drug dealing niggas should be declared terrorists and a threat to homeland security, and dealt with accordingly.

Water boarding would be too good for them sorry useless ass niggas.

And that goes for all them Hispanic, Asian, I-talian, Jew, Irish gangs too because they prey on their own people also. ​

 

[thoughtone]

I said how do "YOU" explain this based on your race theory?


Can't process shit , huh?

Kayanation, it is futile to debate these types. You proved that in countries that have Black populations (whatever “Black” is defined as) the social issues at question are not linear. So this cannot be a race issue as xxxxxxxxxllllllllllllll has labeled it. It maybe a racist issue if the United States suffers those problems among its specific “racial” group more than other countries. Your wasting your time, but you are making him look foolish!

 

[Zero]

This dude has been trolling since his first post. Why even give him the attention he craves. He got cosigns from his fellow trolls and one white cop that has already admitted he gets off on abusing black citizens, so let the post die.

 

[woodchuck]

Btw, that 70% stat isn't accurate. One could ask you white folks, why you have a War on Drugs, when you can't keep your own kids out of your medicine cabinets, but we don't. You remind me of Sarah Palin preaching abstinence, but she has a single pregnant teen daughter. You rant and rave about gay marriages, but your own marriages have a very high divorce rate. You go after Muslims with your terrorist suspicions, but you ignore the many white Christian groups who want overthrow the government. We have our own issues that we need to deal with, just like you. Instead of dealing with yours, you'd rather spend your time telling other races how to deal with theirs. Anyway, back your mission of "educating" us darkies.

Btw, Acur, sad man. Real sad. You remind of me the guy that sold out Denmark Vesey. You can high 5 and co sign them all day, but at the end of that day, to them, you're no different from the Pookies and Ray Rays that you like to mention.

Ok I understand where ya'll are coming from now

WOW that's a really good point ... I never thought about it like that

I said how do "YOU" explain this based on your race theory?

WOW look at the diff between Italy and Sweden. So according to this it has much more to do with environment than race am I correct???

 

[GucciGucci]

So who is to blame for the problems facing the black community especially in the inner cities ?

The problems in the inner-city are a byproduct of poverty and the system that keeps people in proverty.

Its not a race thing. We know you love to trash Black people. All inner-cities around the world have the same problems. Gangs, drugs, high crime rate and high pregnancy rates. Go to Australia, Europe or Asia its the same thing in any city no matter what race is in the ghettos.

Abortion is such a hot issue with white people since white girls have so many. More Black people dont believe in or cant afford multiple abortions.
Out of wedlock births is another bullshit stat to make us look bad. ALot of Whites marry cuz the chik preggo. Then they have a bad marriage and a divorce. 70% of marriage end in divorces. Therefore about the same percent of white and Black end up with kids whose parents arent together. This never gets brought up. Black people just stay apart instead of forcing a marriage then going through 1 or more divorces.

You should go to stormfront with the rest of your friends.

black "activism" in 2009 has been reduced to being nothing more than a PR firm for the black community.

it use to be about trying to help people, clean up the community, preach good values/morals, teaching men to be men and our young ladies to grow to be respectable women...

the hustle now lies in twisting and turning every problem we face, so that you can blame it on an outside force (whites, police, the system, uncle toms etc etc) in hopes of finagling either some $$$, power, or some clout...it doesn't even matter if your arguments make any sense any more...

and the best "activists" now aren't judged by how many they help or how many lives they change, but by how slick they can spit that "blame whitey" game...these are some of the biggest sellouts and race traitors in the history of our people.

 

[Deacs]

Can't and won't argue against that point, he is right in that respect. We march on the injustice which others do to us, but sit idle on the injustices done internally. We tell them how to act towards us and what is not acceptable, but turn a blind eye to our own behaviours.

Let's be honest. We have our own issues to deal with, regardless if the argument is 'White people do it' or 'Latins do this'... don't give a damn what they do, concerning yourselves in how their race takes care of a problem is a problem if you are still not taking care of your own. The only thing it proves is that we can be just as amorale and disgusting as other races. shit in underwear is the same shit regardless what kind of underwear you wear.


And lets think about our activists, what have they truly done and what results are gained from it? Has any of the injustice which they profess have come to a suitable resolution?
-we have the shootings in NYC which haven't been resolved in our favor
-aren't the Jenna 6 still going/ in jail?
-The nappy headed hoes from St. Johns [sorry] got Imus a new job with more money and exposure
-The only one that could've went somewhere was Nas boycott of FOX, yet people still watch it

The only activists which were any way effective was Public Enemy, which he spoke directly to the people in boycotts, in protests, in music, everywhere, and upliftment of our people was positive... we haven't been able to garner that since.

Plus, you want to talk about injustice?

A latino was beat to death by whites in PA, they got off their murder charges, not one voice against this injustice against a mutual enemy was sounded, and it is with them which we share the most hatred from the common enemy

 

[street_soulja]

Its ignorant as hell to say those Black leaders don't do this or that when it relates to black on black crime. Mainly because the media will not feed you stories of Jesse or Al at the local community center talking about self-responsibility or speaking @ a inner-city violence rally/townhall because it doesn't get ratings or stir up controversy.

Around 2000 Jesse was at UH speaking the differences between UH & TSU even though the state of Texas had a surplus, but hadn't delivered the funds to TSU or PVAMU. He stood with Hispanic leaders and talked about the how minorities were the majority in Texas & how funding the HBCUs would help all people obtain higher educations. The media was all over that part, but they didn't really talk about his speech on campus when he was a guest of UH's NAACP & Greek Council...where he went in on most blacks. That was just a mentioned sentence. He went in on people just hanging in the hood repeating the cycle, then he went in on people who go to college & break the cycle, but don't return home to help others make it out and reinvest in the communities we grew up in.

Then this dude here threw out some ol slanted ass stats from some CACs as proof of ills in the black community GTFOH

- huh!!? where are the results though...these negroes have been in power for 30 or so years, and things have gotten, and are getting WORSE for our communities...

things were better for black people (AS A COMMUNITY), during jim crow and the civil rights movements. we had black families, there was no sexual virus's threatening to wipe us out, we weren't singing carols of black death and immorality...all of these things came about on our new "leaderships" watch.

they saw an opportunity to go down in history and get paid while they did it...

 

[TRUFICTION]

DOUBLE STANDARDS OF THE SO CALLED "MEMBERS OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY"

WHO SIT AROUND AND COMPLAIN AND LISTEN TO WHITE MEDIA AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE SEE ON THE NEWS AND READ IN THE PAPER
FROM INSIDE THEIR APARTMENTS AND PROJECT THEN DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
EXCEPT POINT FINGERS AT THOSE WHO TRY.

It is a sick situation that boggles the mind.

 

[Deacs]

Stats are stats, which as we know can be manipulated, we are going to ignore the stats, because mutant stats are just as bad as ours worldwide, and again it is worse since they wrote the rule book and unable to abide by the same standards. The mutants will always use misdirection and what makes them feel good or enhanced to destroy a image of another. How else you explain our achievements taken away from a race.

-first Egyptians weren't Nubian which means we didn't build the pyramids due to our culture, then Egyptians were Nubian, yet didn't build the structures due to age, then we have the age, but the designs were given by aliens. in other words, we couldn't do it on our own intelligence
-second, Sardinia which was conquered by Moors and had a flag reflecting our face were not truly black, instead, Moors meant all people in Africa and Muslims from the Mediterrean did it.

The mutants would use any argument to deflect truth by using half facts and speculation.

What I'm talking about is the ills in our community; regardless what the mutants have to say as well as the old statistics which they would bring up which have been different [except for children borne OOW, that is recent from the last survey, but that is still universal since amorale behaviour currently is the world trend].

The point is, we as Nubians could police and take care of our own problems, regardless of the face which they place on television in response to our issues, with our face, and our own blood.

On top of that, it still comes down to decisions and accountability.
-No one placed a weapon to any of these entertainer's head to perform as they do the material which they have. They could say 'no' and not get paid for it.
-In advertising, no one again told those actors to promote said products which they know are harmful to our community or indeed take over companies with said products and themselves promote it to our community.
-Although I want crime not to be BOB, crime on others simply doesn't bother me as much [the unfiltered truth of it, sorry]

these are issues still part of our community
as I said, shit in the underwear is still shit regardless of the type of underwear you wear

Then again, if you allow the media to tell you news on your own progression, understanding the fact that they are slanted against you, then you should expect it not to be said for you to feel the upliftment.

There are thousands of video on seminars, lectures, speeches, whatever which could be found on the internet, in youtube, hell, on this board. A wealth of information my ignorant ass didn't know about when I first came here and opened my eyes. Funny, I paid my fee to this board and haven't downloaded a scene since viewing all the other stuff we have here... just so I could get those movies, ebooks, and information needed.

Then this goes to you.

Define your definition of power
because if I'm not mistaken, Jesse or Al didn't have any power other then a mouthpiece to insight the people, but none voted for either one of them during the elections, but all at least voted for American Idol and participated in every other type of bullshit survey for those same 30 years.

Although you are correct, these still didn't garner any changes in the community.

Which I said that Public Enemy, Bran Nubian, X Clan, and the like brought a broder platform, first in afrocentricity, then in movement towards the positve, then awareness on the national level. They were more prolific in those terms.

 

[exiledking]

I agree with this post- when you speak about Drug dealers, gangsters, or anything like that these days- you get labeled as either a hater or of trying to be white. FUck that- I'd love to see this sentiment rise again.

P.E. used to speak out against drug dealers all the time, as well as othr artists who didn't ever speak on anything relevant, ant ehy weren't labeled haters, they were heroes. Panthers used to shut down drug spots, as well as FOI. I'm down for that.

We can do that and still ride on the White Power structure when need be.

You guys are so used to be victims to such an extend that you can't take responsibility for things which you are capable to change. Seriously we can't blame whitey for the "no snitching" mantra that has taken our community by storm. There are some problems in the black community which can only be solved by us. When l was in Africa they had a saying which said "African problems require African solutions" maybe it high time we start saying "African-American problems require African-American solutions". If you expect the government to deal with the social disaster happening in the inner cities then you are lost because government solutions will only create more problems.

Al and Jesse have overstayed their welcome they should pass the baton to another generation. The media views them as civil rights leaders so they will only pay attention to them when they are dealing with civil rights issues. Most of the problems facing the black community are not related to the civil rights movement so by asking Al and Jesse to help us find a solution we are finding for help in the wrong place.

It is ignorance at its pinnacle to dismiss statistics as a white mans creation to keep the black man down. Numbers don't lie and we should pay attention to them. It is a fact and we can't deny it that the biggest killer of black women between the ages 25-44 is Aids.

Most of the problems facing the black community are not related to the civil rights movement so by asking Al and Jesse to help us find a solution we are finding for help in the wrong place.

It is ignorance at its pinnacle to dismiss statistics as a white mans creation to keep the black man down. Numbers don't lie and we should pay attention to them. It is a fact and we can't deny it that the biggest killer of black women between the ages 25-44 is Aids.

Ok, since you don't like Al and Jesse, who do you think the leaders of the black community should be?
