Blacks take advantage of education opportunities? Maybe a minority of them do, but appreciation for education is extremely low in the black community. A black person that studies to hard and gets good grades is seen as uppity by his black classmates, as if he is submitting to white people by caring about his education.

Slavery is the ultimate excuse that’s really pathetic, sorry, and played out. Back in the 60’s, if it wasn’t black so-called leaders spewing about slavery and racism on television, it was the black people in every neighborhood I lived in. What blacks need to realize is that black people born after slavery ended were not slaves. White people born after slavery ended were not slave owners. If blacks feel so oppressed by whites, then why have blacks been going to their oppressors for jobs, benefits, foods, and clothing? If anything, its black people who are confused. On the one hand, you want the “white man” to give you all you want, yet you will still whine and complain about something.

If slavery still exist, then why are black men hiring white lawyers, managers, etc. What I noticed throughout the years is the most notorious blacks who cry slavery and racism have white people within their circle. Black people are not and having been suffering from slavery. A large % of blacks are suffering from their own lack of morals, knowledge, unity. It has absolutely nothing to do with slavery, racism, nor the white race. Look in the mirror or at your so-called leaders. That’s where you will see and find the answer.

And you all can stop hating on Steve Harvey. There are lots of people of different races who don’t give a damn about slavery. He’s not the only person who feels that way. You wanna know why? Nowadays, people have jobs, families to take care of, and other responsibilities to handle. Something that happened hundreds of years ago don’t fit into the equation. Nobody can control what happened during slavery, especially since they weren’t even there.

Another Great article, but I have to respectfully disagree with some of what you said. The slave mind continues to stay with us because we haven’t dealt with it. Just because you’re so called educated, doesn’t mean you don’t have the after effects. This is one of the reasons why as a community, we still can’t come together. Whether it be because of class, skin color, education, or something else, we are still affected by the residue of slavery. But I do agree that we can’t let that stop us from making progress.

Black Unity is the solution, 3ufirst.com is the plan.

I have read some of your articles and have been impressed that you have taken on some pretty controversial topics.
As far as Steve Harvey goes, yes, he’s a comedian who has figured out the formula to success: keeping it simple so that simple minds can understand. I don’t know the man personally, therefore I cannot comment on who he is.
You are correct, many of our people are very much like little sheep, easily led by false shepherds. That being said I do find hope that there’s a community within our ranks that is looking for a higher plateau of expression that doesn’t have anything to do with the likes Beyoncé or Lil’ Wayne, who, once again, have figured out that keeping it simple for simple minds is the key to success.
Keep on writing and I’ll continue reading your pieces as well. And, above all, if you think I’m completely off my rocker on something that I write about, challenge me and call me out. Vigorous and passionate debate is how we all get better. I’ll do the same with you.

My compliments on your article. I am a writer for this site so check out some of my articles plz.

As for Steve Harvey, he is not an expert. He is a comedian and a sell out. He has helped in the effort to dog out African-American men and his payoff was a talk show, family feud and a book. I am a family ad relationship counselor and former detective. I can say with certainty that his book is simply the words of a biased sell out of an untrained male comedian. And his talk show is pretty much the same.

Our community needs to stop looking to comedians as role models. We are probably the only ethnic group who does that. Am I hating on Steve? No just being honest. You see what looking up to another comedian (Cosby) has gotten us.

Slavery is a legitimate reason for so many people who still think and act like slaves. Read my article on this site’s home page which deals with just that, Lifting Our People Up Out Of The Slavery Mindset
