I think your article about Black failure deserves a D- at best. Your article does address some legitimate concerns and truths that apply to all people. However, I also think you are either misguided, uninformed or just ignorant because you don`t mention or barely mention what centuries of systemic, institutional, and government sanctioned discrimination and racism is designed to do to enslaved people. It is doing today what it was designed to do hundreds of years ago and that is to strip you of your dignity, take away your will to resist, deny you opportunity and freedom. If you are going to be some self-appointed spokesman for Black people, I strongly suggest you do more research and include the root causes of what is happening in our communities. A lot of what is happening in our communities can be fixed by those of us living there but the vast majority of it can be fixed by those we put in office to represent us.

Our government invented discrimination and can do so much more to eliminate it. Ever wonder why the government won`t do more? The answer is they’re not being pressured enough. Discrimination is ok with the government,the public and private sector.Surely you know laws and rules aren`t equally applied in this country. If laws were equally applied when it comes to education, housing, employment, justice, opportunity, etc, articles like mine and yours would almost be non-existent. Your article sounds like something from a right-wing politician that wants to give more ammunition to bigots. My concern is not about the bigots, I don`t give a damn about how someone feels about me. My concern is soley about equality under the law which every American citizen is entitled to.

I am really dumfounded by the unfair comparison to other races who never had to endure the savagery this country has inflicted upon Blacks. It is always easy to say we sound like victims and it is easy to try to lay all the blame at our feet. There is plenty of fault to go around concerning the plight Black people and blaming it all on us I find extremely disingenuous. Shame on You!!!

Blacks can never fail because their success is in the mix ( i.e. genetic mix ).

It is too simplistic to blame the failure of the blacks in this country solely on the black community as it is to blame it solely on the system.
Let’s take for example, the recent events captured on video showing the constant harassment by the police of black people that usually ended in deaths. These are what we’ve been able to see due to new portable technologies we all carry in our hands. It is a fact, a lot of petty crimes for which a black/man or girl will see the side of jail cell, a white man/woman, on the other hand, will be given a pass. I have many conversations with white friends regarding these issues, especially as related to marijuana possession.
Now, you have white making millions, if not billions from that marijuana industry while hundreds of thousands of blacks rotting in jail due to the so-called war on drugs.
How many of those black families were destroyed due to over criminalization of simple drug possessions?!
Other examples:
Does anyone believe the light sentences that have been handed to the rioters on 1/6 would have been the same if it was a group BLM that have walked just onto the yards of the Capitol Hill building?!
Does anyone believe Barack Obama could have gotten away with 1/1000 of what Trump has done?!
You multiply these incidents by millions we don’t see, what impact you think that is going to have on a community?!
I didn’t even mention the constant discrimination in the workplace, and you wonder why a lot of blacks see entertainment or sports as their only tickets out of poverty?! It is a wish to bypass the system, that so often, unfortunately, ends up in fantasy lands.
I agree too many black kids forfeit the college route in trying to chase those elusive dreams.
Now, look at how many whites are calling to take arms against this government because they feel things aren’t going their way for the last few years. So, imagine being black in this country and having to endure what white America can only imagine of!

This article sounds like talking points from an eighties Reagan TV ad. We didn’t spend the last 40 years trying to overcome those stereotypes just to have a “black” website put them out there like its the truth. Delete or revise this article. It’s articles like this that make the WHOLE WORLD think of US AA citizens as lazy, shiftless negroes. Go to any country and they will know the stereotypes about blacks in the US. Why do you think that is? How would someone another continent away know anything about us? It’s what our government has been telling them the last 200+ years.
This article is shameful.

Your analysis is faulty and short-sighted. You barely scratch the surface of the subject. This article requires in-depth research and rational thought. Your only adding to the propaganda.
