Looks like we were a lot less of a racist country in the 40's and 50's, huh?

I know where he is trying to go - oppression leading to poverty, poverty leading to crime - but he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on with the absent fathers = racism idea.

If I allow it.. this type of stuff could bother me more than anything..

It's so tiresome. Not everything against you is racial Bomani. He talks about being fired before.. Pretty sure people of all types get fired all the time.. This man has a job and can be a positive example.. and instead he rather continue on with the blaming and white shaming.

Oh how this crap holds us back as a society.

There is nothing positive about crying racism 24/7.. even if there is actual racism.. it's not going to stop the ignorant.. and all it is doing is further rallying others to join in and believe everything is racist.

This is such a fricking frustrating world we live in at times.

Wow, White people are so powerful we can make black people shoot each other and be bad fathers. And I can't even get my 2yr old to shite in the toilet.

A guy like Bomani does absolutely no good for whatever his cause may be when he states that racism is the ONLY reason. If you want to make the leaps and bounds necessary to blame some of the underlying issues on racism, be my guest, but it is in no way, shape, or form the ONLY reason for absent fathers and high crime rates.

How did anyone read this,

"It's easy to keep calling America racist. But is racism the only reason for so much black on black crime. For absent fathers."

and get the idea that he is blaming black on black crime and absent fathers on racism in America?

He is stating that in America it is easy to just blame racism, rather then look for other reasons. He then puts forth the same idea in the form of a question, is something other than racism responsible for absent fathers and crime in the black community? At no point did he blame anything on racism.

Sounds to me like he did the exact opposite of what the thread title claims.

Well, what other answer could their be? We don't consider personal responsibility anymore in anything.

He's right. The Great Society, which was the work of racist Democrats, did what even slavery couldn't do—it destroyed the black family.

Sounds like a bunch of excuse making. To bad blacks are the only people group not held to any consequences... that's real privilege.

I read that as him calling out others saying racism isn't the only reason. That they can't keep blaming racism for it.
