African american contemporary issues (this could be bad)

Education isn't very valuable in an inner city public school. They aren't going to teach you how to protect yourself on the streets, how to help your mother get you to school every day on the little money she's got, or how you're going to eat after school. There's very little use for reading class when you've got to spend the night transiting to the food shelf so you can have a meal.

with all due respect, they can move if they want out of an inner city situation but most stay voluntarily.

They can? Not in any of the big cities, they can't. The cost of living is way too high for even the middle class.

god, i was hoping you wouldn't pull that bull****. I have ZERO compassion for anyone who genuinely wants out of an inner city and claims they can't. You get a few supplies together, then you pick a direction and start walking. When you get to the edge of town you hitch a ride out of that hellhole and never look back.

Ragna sounds just like my mom.

"I'M SORRY BUT ALL BAD NEIGHBORHOODS ARE BAD. THAT MEANS ******S ARE BAD. BECAUSE ******S LIVE IN BAD NEIGHBORHOODS. I'M NOT A RACIST, I JUST THIN BLACK PEOPLE ARE LYING, CHEATING, STEALING, STUPID MOTHER ****ERS."

Minus that he didn't use any racial slurs. But it's basically the same thing.

If you think black people in America get it bad, take a look at what the white man did to aborigines in Australia.
Take that there and put it in here

The very fact that this is true, is further evidence that the black culture is shot to hell.

This is also true. A healthy grown adult with no dependents can easily go some place if he's a diligent worker. Just go into construction or something.

black people arent lame. White people arent lame.

Different cultures are though.

I love how you think inner city=black.

I love how naive you are. Please, please, try it. "Just go into construction or something."

I'm obviously referring to "black high crime neighborhoods". I've never even lived in an area with a black inner city. Well, I might now I don't know. Get off your high horse.

Second, it's not terribly difficult to find a job, provided you act professionally and are a good worker. Most of America does it. Heck, illegal immigrants do it and they're technically not even allowed to. If an illegal immigrant who doesn't even know English can do it why can't legal US citizens do it?

Stop acting so tough and street wise.

Interesting how you point out that one of the "****ed up" actvities of black people is sports or some type of athletics. Achieving "pro status" in any kind of sport takes years of hard work, dedication, discipline, and some talent. Now you are saying that black people should forego these activities because "they obsess too much." Someone coming from a poor area, riddled with crime and despair and rising to the occasion can be a rallying figure to clean up said impoverished area. Now you want to take away or lessen the potential of these rallying figures. Now the neighborhood will degenerate further into crime, drugs, and poverty.

Except the chances that someone can make it in professional sports are still pretty slim. There is nothing wrong with aspiring to be an athlete, but it is not good to forgo one's education in the process.

By the way, I agree with Grismath and Bill Cosby.

Why should I? The world is not so cut and dry as you think it is. Sorry, that's how it is. Get over it. Not everyone has the know how to do that. You make it seem like it should be "oh so easy" but if you have no idea how this **** works, or you are an what is termed an "unprofessional dirtbag" and have no idea, you are going to be in a tough spot.

I mean really, there are people dumber than you in the world.

Knowing how to read the periodic table and naming the fifty states are useless trivia to someone who has to survive in an environment of violence, anti-intellectualism, and poverty.

The content of the public education society foists on inner-city youth may not be relevant to their daily lives. However, the process of being evaluated and held responsible for one's actions, of achieving success in structured activities, and of learning social norms in a common environment with one's peers is extremely influential to a youth's development.

I used to think that Malcolm the Tenth was an angry man who wanted to kill white people.

Then I read his autobiography and learned that he wasn't that angry and he didn't really want to kill white people.

That was kind of disappointing.

He was born in my state but they won't add him to the state hall of fame because they still believe the former.

They believe he's the tenth in a line of Malcoms? Well, honestly, I wouldn't want to be in the Hall of Fame run by such people! :colbert:

Don't give me that ****. You can afford low cost housing and bills on a minimum wage job.

Guess what, you can also afford a ****ing library card. There is no excuse for lack of education if you want it.

EDIT: I forgot to point out the point of WORK. Get a ****ing job. Go to the service industry. There are tons of jobs out there like that. It's enough to get by.

i think there's a deep psychological scar in the african american community. there are millions of african americans alive today that have lived through a time in the US where they were treated as second class citizens. these people have raised families and their families are raising families. it's going to take generations for this to wash out and for people not only to be treated equal but for them to truly feel (and be raised as) equal(s).

i think the same goes for the natives living in north america. how can someone like most of us just tell them to get over it and get on with it. we've cut these people, both african americans and natives, deep. it's going to take a very long time for these communities to heal.

Uh, no.

There are a LOT of places where you can't afford low cost housing and bills on a minimum wage job, and still have time to educate yourself.

Oooooh......... A pit of fire! Let me jump right on in:

In 8th grade myself along with many white kids who weren't into rap and whatnot were picked on by black kids who were. There were those white kids who were into it as well, doing the same picking, but with ignorance on my side, I decided to be racist, to myself and a few friends of course. We hated 'em, wanted to see 'em dead, blah blah blah, all that retardo crap.

Having now actually lived life for 6 years on my own, wisened up, and not preaching the end of the world (just awaiting it :tinfoil: ), I understand how ragna would post such a topic.

I live in Fayetteville, NC. Black people are a dime a dozen, it's a fact, what, living in the south and all. Most of what I observe is your typical thug gangster, pants below the ***, hanging around gas stations with peers. Then again, white preppy scum with their noses in the air and thumbs up their butts are a dime a dozen too....

I realized somewhere along the line that it wasn't black people that I hated, it was the, what I call, 'thug culture' that repulsed me. The arrogant, **** you all, thug & drug thing is adopted by all sorts of people, not just blacks. However, since all the popular spokes persons of said culture are black, and the majority of people living that lifestyle are black, it has in itself turned into self branding. I don't think anybody can deny that.

I'd like to dive deeper into the 'problem' of today's black youth, and society itself, but what I'd rather see is someone here labeling ragna as a racist actually experiance the things that he has, then try tip-toeing that fine racist line trying to talk about how much thug culture sucks.....
