It used to burn me up every time we would get a kid on the right path, coming to practice everyday, showing up for school, getting good grades, cutting out the discipline problems, etc. only for "their people" to convince them that they were "acting white" and "forgetting where they came from."
This is probably the thing I detest most about black culture. And it's been this way for decades.

Crabs in a bucket mentality. There's a certain degree of safety in failure for these people. They don't want their kids to do better than they did because if they do, the "whitey held me down" narrative goes out the window. They'd have to admit that most of their lack of success is rooted in their own poor choices.

You can't put absolutes on this as there are good people and pieces of shite in all races. But when I think about my kids, I WANT my kids to do better in life than I did. I WANT them to have things and opportunities that I did not have. I make decisions in my life that better theirs, even at the expense of mine. My question is...what percentage of black people do and feel the same? Would it be fair to say 50%? I understand that blacks, as a whole, don't have the same resources that I do to provide material things to their kids, but it doesn't take a dollar to teach morals, responsibility, respect for others, and integrity. Nor does it cost a dollar to have conversations with them, trying to convince them to stay on the right path. Maybe I'm naive and this happens a lot more than I think it does? Maybe it's a really small percentage of black people who give the rest a bad name? I'm not sure, but from this side of the tracks, it seems as though there is a big difference in parents' efforts to help their kids become better than they were.
