      We've probably spent hundreds of billions of dollars on black communities since the 60s and doesn't seem like it's helped much at all. It's come in the form of welfare, subsidies to urban school districts, affirmative action, minority scholarships, charities, subsidized housing, etc. It's almost like the Republicans were right all along: welfare would make people entitled, indolent, and perpetually dependent.

    Well as a Caribbean citizen I can honestly say that our black descendants didn't go through the same things as the ancestors of slaves in America.
    Slavery was abolished, governors were brought over we were colonized etc. but our majority was black. After slavery we never had to question whether we were a full human or half. Most of our leaders were descendants of former slaves. We never had to sit at the back of buses and fight for equality after emancipation. We also didn't have our stores burned down and black business owners lynched when the whites felt that the black businessmen were taking away their profit. In the Caribbean former black slaves inherited land. In the US they hardly gave anything to the slaves and they were forced to remain on plantation. They gave nothing to majority of the slaves and the effect of that is still being felt today.
    When the former slaves in the Caribbean refused to work the plantation, the British empire traveled to India, Germany etc. to bring back workers as indentured servants.
    Yes Caribbean people were affected by slavery and the ramifications can still be felt today. The enslavement of Africans was one of the most brutal forms of slavery to ever exist but I believe that we as Caribbean citizens will recover faster than those in the US because their trauma is deeper. Hence the reason why Caribbean people who move to the US are more likely to work hard and succeed. Most of us didn't even realize we were black or never felt that our blackness would be frowned upon until we visited the USA and Canada.

      Thank you. Folks love to use the trope of "well the immigrants succeed" without exploring the nuances of what Black Americans have gone through that even the immigrants didn't have to go through. Black immigrants usually come from areas where they don't have to deal with being reminded that they're Black nor seen as inferior nor treated as such (in regards to negative treatment because of race) since the majority of the people from where they come are the same race as them.
      I paused this BS as soon as I heard the "They don't value education" BS since I've known and met way too many Black people who definitely stress getting an education. Then again, dude is quoting Sowell, white supremacists' favorite pet knee grow. They love a Black dude who throws other Black people under the bus.

    This man is 100% correct. My father is Jamaican. My mom was from the old south. They both raised me not to be victims but to be a strong person both in character and physical body. They taught me to work hard. Don't stay out late out at night. Stay out of trouble and learn new things. At no point in time even though we lived in a white community where probably 20% of them did not like us at all with very much proof, I was raised not to let that hold me back. The victim mentality of the current black community is its own destruction. They're concerns about race is overinflated and destroys their own quality of character. Judge people by how they act regardless of color.

They have been oppressing and depressing black people for years and the jails in the prisons are proof. There are just as many people from West Indies and Africa that are incarcerated as Americans let's stop this bull crap yes some of us make it through and we do very well for ourselves but are any of these people in government everybody knows that most of Congress is white to be specific most of the people that are in Congress are of Jewish religious background.

The funny thing is that people don't see the fact that those ghettos are designed to contain black people within. If you take a map of any city and draw a circle around the city, you will see a wall of higher income people. The races are irrelevant, but cities are underfunded and have less income available on purpose, so the surrounding areas can flourish. We all know this.

Its literally impossible.“black culture” is not about violence or being poor but was created to look that way. Let’s not forget the real reason for reconstruction in the late 1800’s. Black people were thriving on a level that most White people or White immigrants were not and due to simple jealousy, through law and indoctrination a new narrative was created and labeled “black culture”.

Yes, black people in the Caribbean went through harsh conditions. But, my goodness! Black Americans had it to do. One thing that helped build black Caribbean is the fact that though we were oppressed (and still to this day) we have not been the minority living amongst a sea of hatred. That in of itself helped us black folks in the Caribbean create an undiluted black social system that strengthened us against a hateful small minority.

They may laugh at you and tell you what a DA you are in that southern neighborhood but, you won’t walk out of that urban neighborhood, of your own accord because they are going to hurt you, if not worse.

You must first know, who the hell runs it and who runs it is, the same MF’ers you vote for every election cycle. Provided you vote at all. See, democrats introduced slavery, they fought a very bloody war to keep it, they fought against black people having voting rights, democrats fought against segregation and yet, black people line up every election cycle to vote for them.

That's part of life and you can get mad or get over it. I've been talked about like I'm a idiot, and just because of the way I talk and my accent I'm a dumb rednec. Actually I have a pretylty decent education that is worth about what a roll of toilet paper costs. Both poor white and black people have to pull themselves out of poverty. The government isn't going to do it. They are happy having that control on you. Affirmative action hurt the black community I think a lot. Before that they had their own banks, stores, schools their commties were beautiful. They had their own infrastructure. That couldn't stand back then so they had to make it where things would be fair on paper but it hurt their community worse than it helped. All the black owned businesses were soon gone and they had to rely on whoever came in and opened up shop. Then they are good at destroying their own communities. I'm not sure why but more power to them. I don't think the American people owe anyone any reporations. That's stupid shite. I want my reporations from the mineral rights they stole from my ancestors for less than pennies on the acre. I don't though and the millions of dollars of coal they mined from my family land I see 800 dollars a year from some settlement but we got our mineral rights back with a operating gas well. You want to talk about people being treated horribly. Do a little research on the Coal wars and strikes in Kentucky and WV. My dad was in the Harlan County strike. You can pull yourself out of poverty. I did but I'm finding it hard to understand why black Americans are having trouble. I'll just say. You think you struggle in the city being poor. Live in the country. There's no Shelters, you cant walk to the store. My closest grocery store is 45 minutes away. My doctor's are over a hour away. They have actually more opportunities than poor people that live here only difference is their skin color and as far as I've seen if you're a good person that doesn't matter. I know that was rambling on but I forget what I type sometimes.

Strip that away and color has nothing to do with it. It's a lot of these systems put in place to make the race competitive. Lion vs gazelle.

      @armybratt26 Hello AB26.
      The ideology of "white supremacy" is a form of psychological warfare requiring both the soldiers and their victims to believe and participate in the psychosis.
      While I appreciate the animal analogy, the use of metaphors when speaking about the practice and impacts of "white supremacy" only protects the practicing "white supremacists" by not naming or calling out the practitioners or their behaviors.
      Please do not afford them any more support, this is how their business remains profitable, a busines non-white people need to boycott, and force to shut down due to lack of ethics and morality which generates and supports the harms inflicted by their practices.

We had our own bank and grew it to over $1B. We also had several banks, some still in existence today. We used to lend money to rednecks because yt banks would not. I keep telling folk to look at who we were in the late 1800s, early 1900s. We were thriving and yt folks feared our unity. They knew if we weren't stopped, they would no longer be on top. So they began the destruction of our communities, families, educatio, stealing our land, blk codes, lynching, and putting bw on welfare.

    As a Nigerian our culture is so deep that we don’t see other people in the race except ourselves, our confidence and tenacity make us stand tall in any situation 👏🏽 feeling pity for ourselves issa waste of time
    I feel ashamed at times when I hear this statement “if not our ancestors (AA) you won’t be able to migrate here” Yes your ancestors made something but what have this generation make? Africans don’t see color until they leave their said countries, you all forget that we all have different demons, different cultures and backgrounds and all this factors made us who we are. All I hope 🤞🏽 for is everyone should heal. AA see white man as oppressor Africans see people that look like them as oppressor. It’s either we all can sit down in this comment and complain about how life is not fair or do something about it. it’s left to this generation to do something about it, but know this African immigrant are not the problem, it’s the Elites at the top of the food chain 🤌🏽
    And it’s easy to point fingers, but not at the people that looks like you 😢 Africans are not the only immigrants, they are Asians immigrants and Europeans immigrants why are the AA only attacking the Africans, why are the Black Americans want Africans to worship the ground they step on so bad. Why are the Oppressed becoming the OPPRESSORS!!! Why’re they becoming the white man. Who says Black cannot be racist? We all should do better.

      Black Americans don’t want Africans to praise us. We’ve been told our whole lives y’all don’t give a fuck about us so we don’t give a fuck about y’all. We just don’t like how y’all come to America talking shit and looking down at us. Y’all don’t have to like us but y’all don’t have to speak on black Americans while y’all are here either. Africans are niggers in America too so y’all need to just focus on your business and stop making judgements on American issues you don’t know about.
      If you find black Americans you like, good for you. If you don’t like the black Americans around you, stay away from them like the rest of us do. It sounds like you focus more on the negative black peoples instead of the happy black people. The white man doesn’t like black people and they use their money to keep it that way.

      Why wont africans accept your own kind back after selling them to portigal 400 years ago. You left your own kind out in the world stripped of their values and culture. Lost . Last. Ignored. Looking for a meaning in life. Why is the Europeans story start off so beautiful but my story starts with being snatched out of my homeland and sold to other continents and sold all over north America and South America we have the disadvantage in life and I'm going to comment about how life is unfair and do something about it. You have the confidence and stability and a culture it runs in your blood. But some of us are your ancestors but you won't accept them back is it because we were mated with our slave master. Who knows I have alot to say about why black people are in poverty and why we was giving the short end of the stick in life. Racism amongst our own kind. It's because you sold us!!!

      Thats statistical NOISE. The success of Black Immigrants is a result of our immigration policies. It is matter of who chooses to come and who is ALLOWED in to stay. The US Immigration System cherry picks and BRIn DRAINs from the professional class of countries such the college educated, healthcare professional and engineers. The large educated and professional class of African Americans proved this to be false. Thomas Sowell was wrong! His theories are outdated. I have studied the data heavily.

    • @calloway1968

      This is a ridiculous conclusion. Black people emigrating from the Caribbean to the US are generally more educated/better off than the average black person in the Carribean, so its no surprise they succeed.
      Its sort of like Korean grocers in LA. during the Eighties. Those weren't average Koreans, but educated Koreans who moved to the US for their kids because Korea has far fewer universities than the US. Suffice to say, an engineer running a grocery store has a strategic advantage.

    • @PerseusManchild
      @PerseusManchild ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I also read a number of Thomas Sowell's books. His opinions are outmoded, and he used information that is now dated information. Black People have significantly progressed in every way. When Sowell first proposed his beliefs, less than 10% of African Americans held a four-year degree, 1/3 of Black people lived in poverty, teenage pregnancy was common, crime was rampant, and 25% of Black people were in the middle class. Now, 7.6 million African Americans (27%) over 25 have a 4 year college degree, 2.5 million (9%) have postgraduate degrees, the poverty rate was at an all-time low of 18% in 2019, adolescent pregnancy is at an all-time low, and the crime rate has dropped by 50% since the early 1990s with a 40% drop in incarceration in the last 20 years and 45% are in the middle class (excluding Black immigrants). My assessment is that Thomas Sowell was mistaken about Black Americans taking this progress into account. The development of African Americans refutes the entire cultural pathology theory. For recent reports on Black Americans, Pew Research Center, Brookings, and US Census.gov are all recommended. My argument, and that of the majority of Blacks in academia, is that both poor and wealthy Black Americans have the same cultural background.
      Another evidence that Thomas Sowell was wrong comes from his reference to Jamaican immigrants as the ideal minority in the 1970s, despite the fact that they had a smaller population and higher average wages than Black Americans. In the 1980s, when more immigrants from lower-class Jamaica began to arrive, they also brought higher crime rates and reducing levels of educational achievement
