Yeah I am ashamed of the ignorance, and fear, of so many of my white brothers also. Quit pandering to us and call those out that need calling out. Instead you give credibility to people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, BLM who once the media attention dies down leave - having done nothing for our communities. It doesn't take a white rocket scientist to figure out what is wrong with black society in America. We have been lead to believe that all our problems are due to the white folks.
Our attitudes - due to the white folks.
Our lack of fathers - due to the white folks.
Our incarceration rates - due to white folks.
Our treatment of women - due to white folks.
Our inner cities - due to white folks.
Our murder rate - due to white folks.
Our education rates - due to white folks.
Our perception by others - due to white folks.
Our employment rate - due to white folks.
I thank God everyday that my parents "acted white" and taught us respect for others and ourselves, the importance of education, the importance of life, the importance of family, the importance of hard work, the importance of respect for law and order, the importance of a proper attitude and most importantly that our actions and choices have consequences.
If all of the above are considered "acting white", then I guess I am white. Like my father always said, you can act white or act black but at the end of the day your actions, attitude and choices are what will define you.
Nice one. Blacks are never the cause of their problems. Blacks are lazy. We all know that. If not tell me how I am wrong.
