People can always do better.
Black, white, other minorities or whoever. That has never been in question, it has also never been in question that regardless of any challenges you may face if you work hard there is a good chance you are going to be successful in this world.
With that being said black people are the only race that are consistently told that they are the reasons for those challenges.
Often times it is black people themselves like Dez Bryant, Charles Barkley, Sage Steele, Ray Lewis, Steve Harvey and others who say these things.
They tend to ignore the centuries of systematic racism, prejudice, classism and stereotypes are the major reasons why we as black people are constantly having to dig ourselves out of a hole. The struggle is much harder, when you aren’t coming from generational wealth and your daddy can’t give you millions of dollars when you make mistakes in life.
Donald Trump is a terrible human being, but he is white and rich so with all his failings he can still become President, that simply could never happen for a black man.
When people watch the news and a white person commits a crime against white people, no one says white on white crime, no one condemns their entire race because of those singular acts.
But, whatever a black person does it is always stereotyped back on black people. Even if black people are doing nothing and being brutalized by the cops there is always an excuse.
He was a demon, he didn’t comply, he smoked a joint back in 1987. The reason for that is we have always been seen as inferior to a portion of our society.
Just look at the people who agree with Sage Steele or Charles Barkley, they aren’t black people, they are racist white people, essentially they are pushing their agenda that black people are subhuman. Dez Bryant is very lucky and blessed he is an athlete and has an owner willing to bury certain things for him or he wouldn’t be talking like he is special, because he isn’t he just catches a football.
I can confidently say if black people tomorrow, stop doing all the things we are accused of doing to bring all this bad stuff upon us, racism would still exists, so would police brutality and everything else.
We aren’t the cause of our problems, our problems are a product of how we have been wrongly treated by this country since they violently and against our will brought us here.
