Too Many Blacks Fail To See The Big Picture

This post is inspired by a comment that was left on a previous post I did on white privilege.

I understand not giving in to the white world, I truly do, but let us not ignore the complete and utter reality of black communities in America. After five years in Brooklyn, it is very disturbing watching the overwhelming majority of behavior by American blacks, and to ignore that behavior will not help anyone. What people, black and white, fail to acknowledge is that a large majority of blacks in America are simply sociopaths that act less than most animals act. Literally watching people walk their dogs, the dogs behave better than most. Islanders are COMPLETELY ashamed of American blacks, but nobody listens to them. Blacks from Africa driving cabs won't even consider picking up a black. There seems to be a certain age group of blacks in this country that should literally be thrown away, along with their parents, who are the immediate culprit. So keep on talking about white this and that, and watch your people slip further and further into the cracks. Or, start taking responsibility for your children and taking control of your lives. It starts with education. It ends with education. I'm not saying forget about what happened in your history, that is not excusable, but wallowing in pity won't change anything.

Foolish Enemy who commented as anonymous. A person like you perpetuates the problem within a society that LOVES to continually endorse white privilege.

Really? As opposed to the sociopathic white privilege individuals that would kill in order to preserve "rights" gained through murder, oppressive behaviors and laws!

Islanders are COMPLETELY ashamed of American blacks, but nobody listens to them.

That is a quite interesting concept considering the fact that black Islanders and black Africans should have gratitude for black American's fight to gain access to rights and privileges (you currently enjoy in the U.S.) that were denied to us (black Americans) for centuries by your beloved white privilege. Why exactly are you here in America with us lowly black Americans and not in your island homeland fighting for the same thing black Americans died for here?

So keep on talking about white this and that, and watch your people slip further and further into the cracks.

You make me laugh... loudly. I am going to give you a clue since you don't seem to understand the blatantly obvious! In this world that we currently live in, white privilege doesn't see a difference between black American, black Islander or black African. They only see BLAAAACK and that black that they see, they see as a negative!

So until people that think like you realize this fact we all will sink or swim together in the waters that were polluted by obviously self loathing insecure white privilege endorsing people like them and you!!!

We are basically FIVE centuries deep into an insidious propaganda campaign designed by the United States of America at it's inception, to devalue and destroy black people as a whole.  That insidious propaganda campaign has rooted into the fabric of too many minds in a way that has unfortunately caused even black people to see themselves through the white racist lens that perpetrated the devaluing of us in the first place.

There is intrinsically more damage done to black people when WE are not united and fail to realize the challenges, deception and destruction that we are all presented with when we don't readily acknowledge the fact that WE STILL HAVE NOT OVERCOME!
