Actually the current black culture can be traced back to the destruction of the black family, which dates back only 50 years to LBJ and the Great Society


This.

The Black illegitimacy rate in the early 1960s was around 14%. It is over 70% now.

The Black family was largely together and functional in 1960. Blacks were coming out of poverty at an amazing rate by 1960.

The Civil Rights Movement was largely led by Christians and Black churches and pastors and was a RESULT of a strong Black community saying that the discrimination they faced was morally wrong. Only a strong people could come together and peacefully protest that way.

What we see now is not because of the Civil War, slavery, or past racism. That is an insult to Black people and it is ignorant to how far they came in the midst of a truly oppressive society.

What we see now IS because of Liberal over reach that benefitted many blacks, no doubt, but ALSO created a permanent underclass. White racism did go along with it in white flight, but the combination of government support and white flight created the problems in these communities. You also have the problem of the loss of blue collar work.

what you describe is the exact definition of racism, you think one race is superior to another

his is one of the stranger cultural problems to me. a lot within the Africa-American community seem to think cops pick on just AAs in particular, but cops bully all races. Most white people just understand that even though the cop is in the wrong, there's hardly ever anything he or she can do about it
How the frick do people not realize that cops screw white people too? As a whole, they don't care about race.

Went to a St. Patrick's Day block party type thing at a local bar. It pissed rain and everybody went inside. I called a cab to go home and went outside to finish my beer and wait for it. Mind you, I'm standing in an area designated for drinking outside, in the bar's parking lot, where food and drinks were being sold. Retarded arse cop driving by stops his car and asks me to walk over to him. Takes my beer and starts grilling me on how I've fricked up and what all his retarded arse could do to me. I tried and tried to explain, as politely as I possibly could, that he was wrong. That was a mistake He lit into me. Got my gf to film exactly what I had done to prove the cop was a fricking retard(in case I ever needed to prove the cop was a retard in court) then proceeded to call him every name in the book. He slammed my face into the hood of his car and took me to jail. Sat in a holding cell for 5 minutes before his retarded arse brought me all my shite and told me he fricked up and to bounce.

Cops are stupid. Cops make mistakes. Cops are pieces of shite. Thank goodness for good cops, but tons of them fricking suck. I highly doubt that when they're being horrible at their jobs that the color of someone's skin is at the forefront of their retarded decisions. They're horrible to all races.

Just like water is wet, it is what it is. People need to suck it up and move the frick on. Society complains about anything they can these days.

Get out more and you will see it's not only confined to the AA community.

All of that has to do with a culture that has developed - particularly in the south, within the African-American community.


You're making meaningless distinctions. Cultural distinctions make us racist.

What I do see is a cultural problem.

That's the way I see it. And the histories, experiences and PERCEPTIONS of white culture and black culture are so vastly different, that there are few touch points where the cultures can meet in agreement. Basically we're from two different worlds.

I'm guessing you're white? See people, white people who don't listen to cops (whether right or wrong) also end up in jail. Yes, cops are generally douche bags, but it's easier to take an arse-chewing and go home than try to act like a bad arse and end up in jail because you made the dumb cop actually feel dumb.
