Black in America

Who else saw this last night? I did and I think it's really alarming. I'm black and agree with all the things Spike Lee was talking about.(Local news portraying blacks as the doings of most of the crime in the country, people crying about Affirmative Action, BTW Affirmative Action can work just as well for blacks as it can FOR ANY RACE) More than 50% of my black male counter parts dropping out of highschool:shock: WTF? I know that these young men have nobody to blame but themeselves. What future do you see for Afican-Americans?

I know my future is bright, even though I'm black, Im making good grades in school, I'm in all Honor's classes, I will be one of the FEW blacks to go to college I guess:( I wonder what that statistic is? Somebody please look that up thanx!

Also for the Whites on here that say blacks are lazy blah blah, Part of that is true! You just can't generalize a whole race of people! My school is made up of a majority of blacks. (79% Black, 10% Whites 5% Asian 6% Hispanic) and they disrepect the teachers like there's no tommorow! They sag their pants, fight all the time, Call other whites Crackas and the whites are too scared to call them the N word! I was ONLY 1 of 2 black kids in ALL HONORS CLASSES! And some ignorant ass boy who happens to be black told me I wasn't black enough? I acted like a whiteboi becuase I wanted to get a good edcuation and live a good life. Sorry guys got a llitle pissed off'd.

So what do guys think black should do to better themselves baciase right now with all the statistics they mentioned on Black in America, I see no hope:(

It this genuine? I feel as if you created an opinion simply to make a thread.soren008

Interesting. Allthough there are white schools like that. I hate how society is biast towards em, iv met quite a few white ppl that thought black ppl were scum. Iv never met a black person that thought white ppl were incects, they thought they were superior in society but could kick their ass.

Even though I'm white, yeah it's basically all true.

My town is about 50% black and blacks make up around 72% of all crime-doers(or felons) here. However, we DO have quite a few black people in our honors program at our High School. 15, maybe.

You can't stereotype an entire race, but streotypes are based on the truth... and sadly right now the majority of blacks fit the stereotype.

Well its nothing to do with the color of our skin

im black but im from england and we have the same hard times you are having in america.

The first thing we need to do is get our self out of the poverty stricken areas or we need to make these areas better for the people living in it to advance forward.

its not a black think its more to do with the enviorment the people are placed in

in England we have the same problem but its not more so on race its more to do with the place u live

e.g Glasgow,hull liverpool very poverty stricen majority are white people

parts of london birmingham manchester ery poverty stricen majority are black people

You clearly didn't watch the show, which was full of statistics, nor did you read the OP.

to be black in america is to be white, hispanic, asian, middle eastern descent in america. Look beyond you skin tone! Who cares if your black. I'm pretty sure if there was a white in america, black people would flip out.

And some ignorant ass boy who happens to be black told me I wasn't black enough? I acted like a whiteboi becuase I wanted to get a good edcuation and live a good life. Sorry guys got a llitle pissed off'd.

There were a lot of black kids at my school and I always noticed this.

It's like, if some black kids didn't behave in a certain way (usually rebellious), they weren't behaving "black" enough to be accepted as blacks by certain groups of black kids.

It's as if a lot of black kids have been brought up with the idea that they won't amount to anything because they're black (not sure where they get that idea) so they have to drag every other black kid down with them.

i can't speak for every but maybe i can paint a picture of understanding here.

i havn't seen the show but i do know for a fact that there are many African Americans who just giving up on the system. They have lost all hope and barely believes in anything anymore. I talk to some of these young dudes time to time and they say things like my school haves no space, broken or not enough lockers, we have to share or wait on books, we have to wear coats in class in the winter, no AC in the summer, 4 to 5 students to a computer, the teachers need to go back to school themselves or they just come for the check, cops keep harassing us for no reason, blah,blah,blah,blah. Obviously there are problems in the black community but most of it stems from lack of opportunities and resources to have a decent life.

i dropped out of H.S. in my Junior year ( i had good grades and played on the Football team ) but i had to leave and find a job because my parents weren't doing well financially...there just wasn't enough work for minorities in a dominate white society. I started to hustled with a few old heads and made enough money to go and get a G.E.D and joined some mediocre trade school for electronics and computer science. during my brief time in the streets i've been shot and saw ppl get killed, i've learned a great deal out there trying to make a few ends meet just so i can eat. soon i met a few ppl in the music industry and been working in the industry ever sense. after what i've been thru, i don't envy any one...... especially those that have it easy ( like having successful parents making their offspring successful as well ). If these ppl fail at life itz their own faults because opportunities are there for them....i have no remorse for you if you're spoiled and still fail in life.

i remember my parents telling me stories about cops spraying them with water and my older brother being hit by a cop at the age of 5.things like this still happen in my hood but not as much as the past. i feel once the world is fair all around and treats everyone with dignity and respect, i suspect a change in the black community for the better, but right now some ppl just don't care and lost hope. hopefully in a few more years things will be better. facing so much BS and adversity has made me a successful happy person. i'am proud to be black.....even more an successful AmeriCAN.

If you say there is a problem and you don't have the solution to the problem, then you are part of the problem when you criticize others on the problem.

theres a real lot, sometimes i wish I saved the irish argument so I could copy and paste it into every thread like this one.

anyway just type in irish american oppression in google, read that and then type scorched earth irish.

the potato famine wasnt just irish people running out of potatoes to eat, some can say it was an attempt genocide.one of many

and no, im not trying to make english people feel guilty about what they did to my ancestors either. Its in the past and we can all be friends now :)

Don't forget Polish! My grandparents immigrated over here from Poland with nothing but a suitcase. The Polish were thought of as stupid and were hated by many. My grandfather actually had to change his name to something more "English" because he couldn't get anywhere in politics (he was in politics) with a "ski" in his last name.

Who else saw this last night? I did and I think it's really alarming. I'm black and agree with all the things Spike Lee was talking about.(Local news portraying blacks as the doings of most of the crime in the country, people crying about Affirmative Action, BTW Affirmative Action can work just as well for blacks as it can FOR ANY RACE) More than 50% of my black male counter parts dropping out of highschool:shock: WTF? I know that these young men have nobody to blame but themeselves. What future do you see for Afican-Americans?

I know my future is bright, even though I'm black, Im making good grades in school, I'm in all Honor's classes, I will be one of the FEW blacks to go to college I guess:( I wonder what that statistic is? Somebody please look that up thanx!

Also for the Whites on here that say blacks are lazy blah blah, Part of that is true! You just can't generalize a whole race of people! My school is made up of a majority of blacks. (79% Black, 10% Whites 5% Asian 6% Hispanic) and they disrepect the teachers like there's no tommorow! They sag their pants, fight all the time, Call other whites Crackas and the whites are too scared to call them the N word! I was ONLY 1 of 2 black kids in ALL HONORS CLASSES! And some ignorant ass boy who happens to be black told me I wasn't black enough? I acted like a whiteboi becuase I wanted to get a good edcuation and live a good life. Sorry guys got a llitle pissed off'd.

So what do guys think black should do to better themselves baciase right now with all the statistics they mentioned on Black in America, I see no hope:(

Tech-Man08

I didnt watch it, I thought it would just be another "its youre fault, im a victim" kinda thing.

Honestly, the sooner the black population gets over everything the faster theyll do better. The Irish did it, no excuses. (waits for someone to not know irish/irish american history)

lol IDK know much about Irish History... What was the deal with them?

It's sad that most people don't know this. The Irish/Italian/Polish were at the bottom of the barrel, almost even with African Americans.

Don't forget Polish! My grandparents immigrated over here from Poland with nothing but a suitcase. The Polish were thought of as stupid and were hated by many. My grandfather actually had to change his name to something more "English" because he couldn't get anywhere in politics (he was in politics) with a "ski" in his last name.

im part polish as well, and proud. but yes, the polish constantly got the **** end of the stick as well, but you know the polish never talk about it they just get on with their lives, and eat perogies. Which is a good thing, because perogies are seriously amazing.

its one thing to try and remove the discrimination, but what a lot of the black community is doing is just wrong.

however, theirs a very small minority of blacks that actually do things right when it comes to fighting the injustices. so its not all bad

"If an irishman could kill a negro and be hung for it"

Yeah, gotta love perogies. Just went to a Polish restaurant a while ago, had the best perogies ever.

how can they get over things when stuff keeps happening to them?

stuff happens to everyone. its called life.

Yea okay? It was a documentary about how blacks where treated in America as a community. You just cant "get over everything" when you still have stuff being dumped on you. You also cant "get over everything" like in a day or two.

No thanks, I've been called that enough...

I was referring to more than just calling people racist words.

And since you guys didn't watch Black in America, it pointed out the faults on EVERYONE. Black, White, employers, job-hunters, young, old, rappers, etc.

So no, it wasn't what you thought it was.

This man speaks the truth. People of all race who are in poverty are claimed "victims" of society and have a basket full of excuses as to why they can't make themselves better. Colleges, the work place and everything in America society is geared to making it easier for the black community. Some use that to their advantage while others choose to scape by because they know they get that welfare check every month and dont have to do a single day of actual work. It's disgusting and I have seen whites and mexicans do it too. It's just more common in the black community.

ive already stated in this thread things to look up, i really hate repeating myself.

just google irish oppression, try to look at irish americans and irish people themselves as well. some people say we were a target of genocide. among many other things. left wandering starving in ireland, living in mud huts. ghettos would have been paradise in comparison.

some keywords to include, scorched earth, potato famine etc. look at everything. there was once a saying "if an irishman could kill a negro and be hung for it" thus putting us on the same level as blacks. we werent even considered really white.

White people arent holding you down at all, only you are. in our economic system, we really dont have any power AGAINST you. Granted its not full blown capitalism like it should be, which would benefit blacks even more (although most dont realize it) never the less, white people dont have the ability to hold down blacks. even when oppression was really bad roughly 50-60 years ago, there still was that first black millionaire. you just have to be strong.

Even though I'm white, yeah it's basically all true.

My town is about 50% black and blacks make up around 72% of all crime-doers(or felons) here. However, we DO have quite a few black people in our honors program at our High School. 15, maybe.

You can't stereotype an entire race, but streotypes are based on the truth... and sadly right now the majority of blacks fit the stereotype.

XBebop

The majority of crime is commited by poor people. Blacks are disporportionately poor. Addressing the reason for that will lessen crime, but a lot of finger pointing will solve nothing.

Things seem dim, but it has progressed for only 200 years.

I guarantee that another 300 years from now, we won't have any issues like this anymore. It takes time to erase the scars this nation has when it comes to black and white supremacy.

Vax45

agree, itz only been like 30 or so years sinse King had to march for simple basic rights for African Americans. i laugh when some think the black ppl still don't go tru this BS. lol. like they are actally there when the crap hits the fan.

all white skin ppl is the same when it comes to making a choice between black and white. my latinoes friends in my hood tell me they get better treatment because of this..... all they have to do is shave their face clean and they are set....( lol) itz only a problem when African Americans stand up for themselves and say we are tired of harrassment, we are tired of not being seen as ppl because we want to be different then others, we are tired of not being recognized for our acheivements, we are tired of ppl trying to weight their HIS-story with ours. We want justice when the law breaks the law just as fast as when an Afrcan Americn breaks the law. African Americans face racism from many races...but some how they still manage to prosper, this is what makes them proud. i know it makes me proud, i don't need anyone to tell me whats fact or not.....i can see with my own eyes. im living the experience and no one that is not and is only making assumptions by looking from the outside can convience me otherwise.

i'm sure glad i'm not racist but itz easy to tell who is

African Americans are upset for many reasons and i don't think the millions of light skinned black ppl agree with Irish ppl having it the worst. i don't hear much of anything happening to them that is injustice. but lately i heard of things like Jena 6, Sean Bell and other injustices that don't make it to the idiot box. If they want to complain and take it to the system because they feel they are not being treated fairly then so what.....i for one don't have a problem with it.....unless i feel jealous or don't think they deserve it...then thats my person issue and i need to deal with it.
