Memo to Young Black Men

[madmiddle]

"Still, employers are averse to taking risks on black applicants, whom they perceive to have criminal tendencies, the study says. "

Just a perception? So Blacks don't commit more crimes per capita than whites?

A couple of factors that work against young black men is their portrayal in the media as gangsters, thugs and rappers on the fringes of society, "

So the media creates the perception that blacks commit more crimes...

"...and the fact that more black men are going to prison than college, according to a report by the U.S. Justice Department."

So, they do commit more crimes? I am confused. Sorry.

Yes per capita blacks do commit more crimes than whites.Due to literally being blocked from a legitimate way to earn enough money to live.Its a cycle that doesnt stop...whites oppresss blacks because they feel they are superior and blacks deserve low class treatment,blacks commit mostly non violent,economic based crimes because of ths oppression,whites legitimize oppressing blacks because of crime,more blacks in prison, and on and on.

[madmiddle]

well,discrimination is also a crime,but it goes mostly unpunished,so I dont know weather blacks do ''commit more'' crime than whites.All the ''throw his application away'' ''nah dont rent to him'' descisions made millions of times by whites everyday go under the radar.Nobody seems to see it but blacks.

that guy in 12 seconds into the clip is who I was talking about sayigng he wont have a chance when he gets parolled:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db8Vdj4PCH8

he looks alot worse once he stands up and his whole body is int atoosincluding sides of his face/neck.

That's HIS choice again. He chooses to make himself stand out. That has NOTHING to do with the color of his skin. The fact is people of color today still get looked at differently then a white person. Sure, someone can dress up and make themselves look "gangsta" or try to stand out wearing certain colors, anyone can do that white, brown, black whatever. At the end of the day though, a person of color regardless of how well they dress will more then likely get a different reaction from an employer then a white person. This white guy you keep posting made a choice to make himself look like that, a person of color doesn't have that choice.

"true story: one of my dad's friends, a local teamsters official, walked into a gas station during a robbery in progress, the robber, who was black, looked at him, said, "So long white MF..." then shot him and left. The guy is fine now but he still has the bullet in him."

Thanks for your pointless story. Honestly, if you're going to copy and paste stuff every post do us all a favor and back it up with an actual source. Saying "a mexican told me this" or "I read this some where" or "some guy told me this from another forum" gives you little to no credit.

This is what they want you to see. TV and Movies only depict black man as dummys. The person who wrote the article sounds like a typical sheep who gets their culture from television. They wouldnt ever know the black male living in a jacked up neighborhood. Cleaning businesses to pay tuition to junior college. A brother with a bus pass really aint appealing to some. But they will throw the gold grill gangsta in bright a$$ colors in your face all day. Ice Cube said it best "this is what they think about you." Blacks men are depicted one dimentional and maybe thats a good thing. So that they dont exploit the ones who are truly tryin to get out the funk.

-i have a bus pass
-i payed for my own tuiton and braces out of my own pocket, my folks didnt help shit, if i was working part time i had two part time jobs - now i just have a full time job and school
-but i get no sympathy cause im white, but what doesnt kill you makes you stronger

I hear THAT

They dont seem to understand having a job and ''struggling'' versus living in a society that seeks to keep you unemployed,giving the minority that do have jobs (mostly) unlivable wages.Its a pretty bleak future for black men unless some drastic shit happens,its pretty clear that white folks cant/dont want to see that there is seriously something evil and wrong with the current system.

-by "they" are you reffering to me? cause im not trying to keep you down and outta the community
-what im saying is that my struggle is still a struggle to live, just like it is for the black man in the ghetto
-in some cases my struggle to make rent, tuiton and other expenses are the same as most black people i know, we all go to school and got jobs whats the difference?
-there should be some drastic action, but the senate or congress wont pass any bill (the average joe) (me) drafts up, so what can i do ???
-and when the government takes some drastic action could you tell them to lower taxes please

"Why black people scare me

Because if they rob me for a quarter, I never know if they're going to shoot me or not.

That's the scary factor.

White guy robs you, chances are that you'll live through the ordeal.

Black guys are too unpredictable. They may shoot you...they may not. Who #%@&#%@ knows. It could be based on money...like if you only have 10 bucks, they might shoot you for not having enough money.

Or if you have too much, like 500, they might shoot you too for having too much (not wanting to get caught for a greater offense). So it's like best to have the right amount of money in your wallet, like maybe 80 bucks. Enough to make them happy enough not to shoot you, but not enough for it to be too serious a crime. "

Stay that way. I hope you have a long life and die paranoid.

The funny thing is I could care less about a white persons opinion on this. Why even comment when you created the problem. I guess they just have to get some things off their chest. Because they cant get it off their conscious..

Its true the system is unfair, but what are blacks doing to change the cycle of oppression?

Whites are in power.Youre evil,so you will always see fault within us yet none within yourselves.

[Sentenza]

Its not that simple i think. There is fault within white society, as much as there is fault in black society. And there are many whites who recognize that.
Its not a black vs. white thing, but a ignorant vs. the knowing struggle.

[johnnny]

. Why even comment when you created the problem. I guess they just have to get some things off their chest. Because they cant get it off their conscious..

next week on the agenda i was thinking about inslaving the native americans next, pick some fights with minorities, and do what russel crowe would do when he was on south park

Its not ''as much'' fault on the black community.Whites are the ones starving people of needed economic resources,therefore they are the main party at fault.

all the black males are having half devil children with the white devil women

[frozen fire]

all the black males are having half devil children with the white devil women

Not all white folks are devils, its just that the media has painted a bad picture on the black community.
it aint a good excuse i know but we our selves dont think much of the white folks either.

i think what the black community should do, is help them selves instead of waiting on the white man, and i say lets start with the schools!!

peace

[madmiddle]

Its the general white population because those employers that deny us jobs are everyday white people,and the people that vote these people into office are everyday white people.Everyday white people also deny and ignore segments of the population being oppressed.

Whites are in power

I smack whites... And laugh at there laws, regulations and policies, as they are humorous.

Youre in denial if you think race isnt a huge factor in the United States.Yes money is involved,and its whites wanting to keep others broke,and doing so through discrimination/oppression.

[Sentenza]

But its not like whites hold secret meetings discussing on how they can fuck the black man again on the next day.

It is more an automatical, subconscient process. And even that does not count for all whites.
