Brother and sisters, is it easier to blame white people for our problems instead of admitting to ourselves....?
that we are the cause of our own societal ills? I mean we have the highest crime rates compared to any other social group or class. We have the highest rates of single-parent households. We have the lowest marriage rates compared to any other demographic in the world. We have the highest rates of teen pregnancy. We have the 9 out of 10 black children born out of wedlock. I know we have have come a long way but I find that my friends and family in general tend to blame the man (i.e. white people) for holding us back. Whenever i bring up any negative (but true) statistics I am met with stiff resistance and ignorance. It's almost like we (myself included) are blind to what is happening. Do any of my black brothas and sistahs feel the same way? What can we as a minority do? Do we need to take responsibiliy and be held accountable? I think so. We also need to work on our public manners while in movie theatres. But one step at a time. Only clean and positive comments preferably. Thank you.

We are responsible for ourselves. Its all bull when you hear someone placing blame on your statistics there of highest crime rates?
Single parents out of wedlock? etc..etc...
The only reason folks put blame for their lives on someone else is because they havent got the courage to accept their own responsibility.
For folks like that it is so much easier to blame folks then to actually do the work and respect your own self.
Nothing to do with colors. Its all about what your made of inside. If you breathe disrespect well then.
But dont throw your stats around because you think its all about color.
