I don’t believe that it is the music that is causing some of the problems in our communities. The ignorance in music is a product of poor educational systems and bad parenting.

In the movie Frankenstein, the villagers got mad at the monster for being… a monster, less so than the Dr. who created it. Likewise we get made at Knee-grows for being Knee-grows…less so than the scientists that created this being called the African American. This manufactured being is neither African nor American, whatever the latter means. In any war, there will be collateral damages and those that get in our way need to e set aside before dealing with the enemy. In 2012 none can call on ignorance when seeing the depredation of knee-grow excess or ignorance/stupidity. What we need is as many before us stated (Marcus, Elijah) is separation for our own good. When we were wt our best separation took us to extreme heights, unfortunately we forgot to defend our success, so the enemy bombed us back to Jim Crow living. I am talking about Tulsa Oklahoma pre 1921. Separation doesn’t necessary mean getting up and leave, because lord knows most won’t know where to go outside their neigbourhood. But separation of philosophy, a world view and a cultural perspective that places you, I, us, at the centre of our universe. It’s not unusual; all the other successful ethnic groups practice and teach their children this. Our enemy practice it daily. But because we are conditioned like abuse victim to either emulate the abuser or act out for attention in most bizarre ways, the victim is looked down upon, while the victimizer gets a free pass…and no sufficient and applicable solution is put forth.
Africans in America Inc. (it is an incorporated entity) are the only mass trauma victim who have never had group therapy and are vilified for it. Let the knee-grows be knee-grows, save your breath for the children and those who can be saved. And while at it, nullify the interlopers that we have in our midst, be they hue-man or otherwise.

All the comments regarding this article are true but the real butt ugly truth is the fact that there exists a segment in the black community that is beyond help. It’s not good sense to waste time and resources on worthless investments. In other words some people don’t want to be helped and just don’t care about themselves. They can even possibly destroy you as you try to help them. How many times I have heard blacks say “this is a wake-up call” well I’ll tell you, too many dam times and now it has no meaning at all. My advice is to get yourself right and then your family. If that is accomplished then you have done a hell of a lot more than 95% of the rest of black folks.

@Joe you said nothing but the truth brotha which is what i’ve been saying myself for so long that we need to have a movement to resurrect our brothas and sistas. Let’s stop buying from outside sources and put our finances into our own communities. Lift up and support each other and we can have strong communities because if there is one thing that will get their attention is finances and what better way to get back at them by hurting them in the pockets…Wake up my ppl

Look, I’m not gonna read this entire article just yet. The answer to this dilemma is very simple, and since we don’t wanna accept it, then we need to just deal with the consequences. As long as we’re going to continue trying to live out this ‘I have a dream’ social integration experiment – which has already failed – then, we need to prepare for the consequences.

We were not brought here to be equals. This system was set up in order to keep us in a subordinate status, and nothing brought about through any movement has modified that. In fact, we know that our condition is worse, but because the appearance of progress has deceived Negros into believing that we’ve made gains, you can’t convince other Blacks that it’s time to pull ourselves out of this mainstream conundrum, and restore our own historical values and way of life. This is the ONLY hope left. Until we get that through our heads, then we need to just prepare to continue living with the consequences.
