The question can be asked of any race.
Why are poor whites failing in systems run by their own people?

"It's exempting [the African-American community] from any kind of personal responsibility," he said. "It's really white supremacy to assume that blacks have no agency."
That perfectly describes white liberals attitude towards blacks...

You're exactly right.
And if I said the answer to your question is "black people," wouldn't that sound ignorant and stupid?
The inverse (blacks blaming whites for problems in their own communities) sounds similarly ignorant.
That's what the African American gentleman in the article is inferring.

There is an American recipe for success. Everybody on this board understands the basics- two parent family, hard work, education, personal responsibility etc. GENERATIONAL MODELING. It’s not like this is a secret or anything.
So it really comes down to WHY the black family was destroyed post-1964 and who does it benefit. And how to shift people on a very basic psychological level from External locus of control, to INTERNAL locus of control. How do we get native born people who are failing to adopt the Immigrant ethic ( like African immigrants) that allows them to flourish. It’s basically asking them to abandon The Democratic Party that preserves the status quo of the black underclass, and it’s not like Dems are going to just step aside and lose all their power.

It is a double standard, I'll admit that. It's easier for Blacks to pull it off because historically we have been discriminated against.
If you look deep enough into something, you can see the difference between repression by race and repression by stupidity.

Because they keep electing grifters that campaign on idiotic racial lines. And that’s the only thing the voters care about. That’s it.
A fricking retarded person could win mayorship of NOLA if they were black. Oh wait...

Because Black people are PEOPLE and everyone's worst enemy is themselves.
Until we force that sort of introspection instead of encouraging excuses, their situation will not change.

As long as people are collectivists, they will be individual failures.

Sent this to a black friend of min and asked him his thoughts. Here are his responses.
Him: Blacks are failing because of Greed and Theft...
They aren’t given proper resources in schools.. Politicians campaign under the guise to fix such things and never do..
Out of that 22 Trillion, probably 21 trillion been stolen
Me: I agree with that sentiment. But it’s hitting the Middle Class of all creeds, colors, and nationalities. If you can’t afford to send your kids to better schools, live in the higher class neighborhoods, or have your children enrolled in better programs this affects you regardless of what box you check on the census report
Him:FACTS and this is what I’m promoting on my page.. We don’t have a race problem in America... We have a theft problem in America..

This is the kind of leader that the black community should embrace and not vilify.

This statement is horseshite at best. They passed legislation to force bussing of black kids into white neighborhood schools. Woodlawan, Broadmoor, Lee High, Belaire, Baker, Sherwood, and others are now crap schools and the real estate followed or is in the decline currently. An arguement could be made that all these awesome neighborhoods were destroyed b/c of desgregation.

The group now doesn’t care what Jim brown, Morgan freeman, mlks daughter say. They are listening to someone radical forcing a to change something that doesn’t exist.

These are very good questions that We the People, especially AAs, are not allowed to ponder. The Leftist Indoctrination Machine has propagandized us all into condemning such questions as "Racist" and "White-splaining". Rational debate to discuss and analyze this question is PROHIBITED and strongly condemned as "Racist" and anybody who proposes to have a conversation to discuss this question is condemned as a "Racist White Supremacist."
When the Zeitgeist of your own country's culture prohibits and condemns rational discussion of any difficult question, then you KNOW that your country is WELL on the way to becoming Totalitarian, my friends.
You all know in your hearts that I speak the Truth here. You know it, but, like me, the only thing you can do about it for now is VOTE TRUMP.
I regret sir, that I have only one upvote to give you. If ever I saw a post that deserved more, that was it. Kudos

Think about this, what makes you a "civilized" person or a good, productive member of society? What is one of your most basic, human instincts?
To care and provide for your family. To house, feed, clothe and raise your children.
When the Government provides Section 8 housing, SSI disability, SNAP food cards etc etc etc, you have removed that need for him to provide those things. Now what does he do with his time? It ain't good.
Welfare policies have done more to diminish the role of the father in the black community than anything else, but it's not a black only phenomenon. The same lack of responsibility exists across all races.
This is not a race, or even a economic status issue. This is a lifestyle problem. As long as fatherless homes and drug and crime culture are celebrated, this will continue. How do you combat it? Damn if I know, but as alluded to earlier, tying aid to working and trying to get people off welfare rolls has to be a priority.
