How Does Black Failure Really Say About The Black Community.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Blacks in America have faced a lot of challenges in society, but the media has portrayed the black community in disproportionate levels. We don’t deny that much of the inner-cities around the country has become overrun with crime, drugs, and a skyrocketing murder rate commited by nearly by blacks and seen especially in high-crime cities such as Chicago and Detroit. The problem has gotten out of control that you find black leaders wanting to throw up their hands and admit their communities are dysfunctional. This in turn says that blacks are the main perpetrators and victims of crime in such high numbers and none of which involve whites or racially-motivated prejudice.

Government assistance or “public-aid” as it’s known to most blacks has contributed to the failure of the black community. The reason for that is it encourages dependency and long-term reliance on what was designed as temporary. Fast forward to 2016 the dependency BlackCommunity-2016on public assistance has grown twice the number in the last 20 years. You’re seeing a lot of young black women relying heavily on food stamps and section 8. The problem is that many of them have gotten accustomed and comfortable collecting free money that’s funded by tax payers.

The media does not always tell the truth about who really gets public assistance. The ethnic group that’s using public assistance the most are white. Now what does ring true for blacks is that they are getting comfortable with applying for and staying on public aid. Looking back to the early years of public aid use is that many who used food stamps and other programs did not stay on it for no more than 3-5 years. Now you have people who have been on public assistance for more than 10 years and some who have no intentions of getting off public aid.

The way some folks think why should they get off the system when they’re getting free money for housing and food, but don’t want to work towards means of doing better. You hear folks say “we got to do better”, but obviously it’s not coming together and only further pushes the dysfunctional and uncivilized behavior among blacks. People say it’s this or that, but what happened to wanting to get an education and establish yourself in a stable career? The fact that blacks have squandered opportunities presented to them has also cost them other opportunities for education and financial growth. Yet we’re OK with taking care of family members who are able-bodied and have chosen not to want to work or to do something that improves their lives and instead are comfortable living on government money.

Only when someone speaks out about this they get pommeled with nasty, obscenity laced comments about how they’re hating and how they’re jealous that they can pay little to no rent and get X number of dollars a month for food stamps. What sane minded person is going to be jealous of hood trash living on public aid? The uncomfortable truth is that blacks are seen as lazy and unmotivated and many who are like this would just rather remain on welfare than to work towards securing a stable job.

You hear blacks talk about how Mexicans and Asians are doing good is because they’re the ones taking the jobs that blacks do not want and seeing what they’re doing as a stepping stone to better things. It’s only black people who don’t see it that way, but we don’t have a problem with living off others. Those with stable jobs and their stuff together are the ones who are forced to financially support unmotivated and lazy family members because they’re guilt tripped because they don’t want that family member to suffer.

That’s another issue is the guilt-tripping that blacks do to each other when they want to control someone or want something done. It’s sad when you see it being done to continue feeding into the enabling of others. The hard and serious note on that is blacks do not want to hear or face the truth of how their behavior plays a role in the failure of the black community. Few even realize how much money has been invested on helping blacks to get ahead and how it has not really paid off. Few blacks mostly males attend college much less graduate with undergrad and graduate degrees. You see more females in college and coming out with undergrad and graduate degrees at a higher rate, but that does not explain why the educated blacks who move into careers are seen as sell-outs because they chose to work towards bettering their lives.

This is among the many truths about blacks that many don’t want to admit to and that’s being impulsive and explains why there’s countless children born out of wedlock in record numbers in the black community. STDs and HIV rates are extremely high in the black community due to the lack of understanding consequences. Personal accountability is not something that is taken seriously in the black community and clearly by how out of wedlock births and frequent incarceration in the penal system.

It does not seem to have an effect for why the prison system is overcrowded and continues to increase with inmates new to the system or those who are frequent flyers of the penal system. We also place more value in someone getting into the entertainment and sports industry, but going to school is not even given a second thought. If the past generation saw how blacks were behaving today they would be appalled because of how so many fought and died for blacks to advance in the world socially and many feel that blacks have only themselves to blame for their failures.

    WAKE UP. If you think you are black, you are either blind or brainwashed. You are brown. It amazes me how many of you are still brainwashed to call yourselves BLACK.

    Black is the color of your car tires, not your skin. The white oppressive slave trader called you black and himself white to set up a contrast and to attach negative images and denotations to you based on a lie about color. Look up BLACK in the dictionary.

    Research even shows that blacks are perceived by other groups as very different from African Americans. But we still keep calling ourselves what someone else defined us as, what we are not and what has a negative dictionary denotation in society. WAKE UP. LOOK AT THE REAL COLOR OF YOUR SKIN. YOU ARE NOT BLACK. You are an African American. The lie of calling us black and defining us by color (the wrong color) has been in place so long that our people accept it as truth – but it’s not. Know your colors.
    Native Americans do not allow others to call them red men. Asians do not accept being called yellow men. Hispanics do not answer to “what’s up brown man”. And Caucasians are not white, notebook paper is white. Wake up and see the plan where white racist supremacists plotted to redefine our people from Africa. STOP CALLING YOURSELF SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE NOT!
    AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT BLACK.

    Black is the color of your car tires, not your skin author. Being called “black” is a lie and it should be offensive. Haitians, Jamaicans and even Africans do not accept being called “black”, Why do you think that is? They are identified by tribes, klans, geographic areas and their respective countries. By using the very term black to describe us, we are doing the following:
    1. Using a term white oppressors and slave masters gave us.
    2. Letting someone else define us other than our own people.
    3. Calling ourselves something we are not.
    4. Buying into thee lie and the negative denotation. Check the dictionary.
    5. Being set apart in a way that no other ethnic group allows. Native Americans are not called Red Man. Asians are not called Yellow Man. Hispanics are not called Brown Man. They do not and will not accept being defined by color and by some other race or ethnic group at that.
    6. Ignoring our actual color (brown) which means brainwashing has worked. Any time someone can get an entire race, ethnic group or culture to ignore what they are and call themselves what they factually are not, THEY HAVE BEEN INDOCTRINATED, ASSIMILATED AND BRAINWASHED.
    7. Playing right into the oppressor’s profiles and stereotypes. Did you know studies show there is a different perception of black people than there is of African Americans? Words create perceptions and perceptions create actions towards us.

    WAKE UP. You know your colors. And even though others around the world equated our ancestors with the color of the soil in Africa or the meaning of negro/negroid, that does not change the fact that WE ARE BROWN – NOT BLACK.

    If you look in the dictionary or send an email to brainstormonline@yahoo.com, I will send you the research. Facts are facts and YOU ARE BROWN, NOT BLACK. When you receive the revelation of why they keep calling African Americans “black” and Caucasian people “white”, you may just wake up!

    STOP LETTING OTHER GROUPS DEFINE YOU WITH AN OBVIOUS LIE that we have heard and accepted so much that we believe it’s true and forget our colors. The de-programming has to take root or African Americans will forever be defined, limited and oppressed by those who get us to accept a lie.

    TO THE AUTHOR AGAIN,
    You seem to be putting down African Americans with a CointelPro approach. Where are your solutions? Where is your overstanding of how this corrupt, oppressive, racist country has contributed to the problem and the conditions that AA face?

  4. Marque Anthony says:

    To The Author,
    I think you meant to title your article What Does Failure Say About The Black Community. If you and others think we are black, you have bought into the deception that labeled us something we never were. Black is the color of your car tires, not the color of your skin – nor has it ever been. When you find out why THEY called us black and themselves white, you will overstand the plan, plot and scheme that was put in place. WAKE UP. Look at the color of your skin. When you were taught your color in preschool, you were never taught that color was black – you were aught it was brown.
