"Black" is neither a race nor a culture.
100% THIS.
"Black" is neither a race nor a culture.
Seems you are trying to somehow shift responsibility, consequences away from consenting actions.
My mistake, yes.
Being a teen mom is a choice.
I really don't like the term "black culture" as you have people of all colors that are part of European culture and also people of all colors that are part of African culture.
I'm going to agree with grey here. I believe that culture is NEVER bound to any specific race.
So which causes more problems for white folks? White racism or white culture itself?
Are you saying that glorifying thugs rapping about getting shot, doing drugs, and having a bunch of sex can have bad effects on children?Heresy!
"hard work, Christian, family values"
the gangsta slash ghetto thing. even if not all blacks participate in it, they are still victims of it... it causes them to have less opportunity when businesses don't build in the ghetto, it causes white people to fear blacks more and take it out on the black folk who dont act up.
to the young blacks who act gangsta/ghetto... if you don't want to be treated like a stereotype, then dont act like one.
i grew up a poor white boy... but i was sometimes called a "prep". i dressed nice even with the cheap clothes i could afford, and i didn't act poor. when i was really young, i wouldn't have even known any different that i was poor. and i never played a victim card.
I agree that hood/ghetto culture is bad for society.
you can't deny that black folks are predisposed to the hood culture much more than other races.
Nationalism is an aggressive push to melt the salad bowl.
It is the kind of racism that is embedded in our financial institutions, our standard business operating procedures and our UNCONSCIOUS biases --- you know, the kind we are not even aware of.
Certainly not if you include Breonna Taylor, who was literally just asleep, with 2 other people that made obvious tragic lifestyle choices leading to their downfall.
So what is the solution,1) integrate Blacks into Western Culture?2) integrate Whites into African Culture?3) Maintain the status quo and blame the failures of hip-hop African culture on "invisible gaseous racism"?I'm guessing you will go with option 3.
4) Integrate all people, of all colors (within the borders of the USA), into the American Republic, "Democratically Fair" Culture.. . . . . . with FREEDOM and JUSTICE for ALL!
As for single parent homes with high-school dropouts, I don't understand your reference. Trump has been President for 4 years and there are still high-school dropouts. I very much doubt that the number of single-parent households would drop significantly no matter who ended up as President.
Well if Trump is to be held against the Biden standard,
It doesn't seem to me that they even want to assimilate, and I wouldn't expect them to want to.
Any attempts to integrate marginalized people into Western culture will be shut down with charges of "racism"
And I also do not like serial killers, which overwhelmingly seem to be white instead of black.
48 percent of non-Hispanic black women get pregnant before age twenty. Of this group, 97 percent are unmarried and have little recognizable means of financial or emotional support. Less than 23 percent of fathers remain in the lives of the child, or offer any financial assistance. Sadly, more than a quarter of teen mothers will be pregnant again less than two years after giving birth the first time.
Really? Wow. You are describing poverty not cultural or racial characteristics.
You can’t even have the same outcomes from children of the same parents, but then they want to compare two genetically different groups with essentially antithetical cultures?
Did I say they were? Don't put words into my mouth. I would say those characters have their pros and cons.
