Black People - Stop Blaming Racism, Take Responsibility

[Napoléon]

My reaction to the OP was "everything is easy for the man who doesn't have to do it himself."

That's a fair response. 

But there are people preaching the same thing who have done it themselves. And how do you know the guy in the OP hasn't done it. 

Like I said, it's not impossible, but a lot of people talk like it is and come up with no alternatives other than "what do you expect when people go out rioting". General attitudes in black communities seem to have low expectations of what they can achieve as a people. Ofcourse, that's influenced by the fact there is race discrimination, and prejudice. They find it harder to get jobs no doubt, but like I've said before, having attitudes like that, and mentalities that perpetuate "us vs them", "fuck the police", "I'm from the hood" and all that other bullshit, that ain't the solution. Getting into gangs ain't the solution. Getting into drugs ain't the solution. The message really doesn't just apply to black people, it's only all the more relevant to black communities. 

So while ofcourse, it's not easy (guy in the OP didn't say it was), the sentiment is still one that should be promoted more than using racism as an excuse for not going anywhere.
