Cut through the fog of this case with the following. Asian immigrants from China mostly come to the west coast with literally nothing. Their children have all of the top spots at the west coast universities to the point they are penalized on admissions.
Lest you think they are genetically and racially superior you need to ask yourself why? What do they have that others don’t have? The two answers are:
#1 Strong families
#2 Know the value of hard work
There is nothing these Asians do that the black community couldn’t do. Seeing as how they don’t, that is on them. [/quote]
This post seems to ignore the influence of society.
No culture lives in a vacuum outside of social influence.
One thing the Asians do NOT have is the entire destruction of their heritage and ancestry and the relatively recent formation of an entirely new culture in a different relatively hostile society.

Fucking preach.
But let them tell you otherwise. ‘‘Black people have only themselves to blame if they can’t do no good with their life’’
If you go back two generations, you’d see black entrepreneurs and neighbourhoods were striving.
Actually let’s go further back when whites supremacists took lands that black men earned. They also destroyed towns that were built by blacks and thriving.
Black businesses were doing so well that they tried to cut them off from selling to blacks…by force. They could get away with murder and they did.
When Asians came and, the white saw some were uniting with blacks during the civil rights movement, they decided that they were the “good minority”, easier to control and influence. They gave them “benefits” for opening up stores in predominantly black areas. Blacks were simultaneously hit by drugs and, broken families resulted in that.

This was a good post.
Yes, society has contributed quite a bit to the destruction of “American Black Culture” simply from the fact that “American Black Culture” is the personification of disenfranchisement when it comes to race.
Blacks in this country didn’t just lose their homes as slaves coming here…they lost their entire heritage and culture…all things NECESSARY for the creation of a solid foundation when it comes to basic morals and ethics and even the base to build further from.
No other race has had their entire history wiped out from the history books. Most blacks in this country couldn’t tell you what part of Africa their family came from if you water boarded them.
Ignoring this and acting like it matters little or none at all is ludicrous.[/quote]
Is this why blacks commit so many more crimes than whites? Give me a fucking break. Look, I don’t think anyone here is going to argue that blacks haven’t had it pretty rough here in this country. But it’s a complete copout to still point to that shit in this day and age. Racism exists. Get over it. It’s time for that to be a motivating factor instead of the excuse that you’re essentially using it as. People of all sorts of backgrounds, cultures, skin colors, etc. etc have had it bad at one point or another.
The Chinese, the Italians and the Irish in this country didn’t have things a whole lot better than blacks did post-Reconstruction, which was fucking years ago, and yet all three of those demographics are much, much more affluent, less apt to be a criminal and generally better off than blacks generally are in this country. For all intents and purposes, post-Reconstruction those three groups came from the same sort of backgrounds that any black born free in this country came from. Why the disparity then?
