Few blacks get it. The "Bottom Line" if you want to succeed in America... (1) be a civil human being, (2) be able to communicate effectively IN ENGLISH (not street "rap", not Gulla), (3) learn to be a problem solver, 'cause that's what business "pays for". How do you do that? Well, you go to school... learn to use the English language well and learn to be an "analytical thinker and problem solver"... that's where math and science schooling comes in. THAT'S WHAT ALL SUCCESSFUL WHITES AND ASIANS LEARN TO DO! (Do y'all understand why math and science are so important? Because that's the beginning of teaching your brain "critical thinking/analysis"... little in life is more valuable.) The whining blacks never did any of the above... then "piss'n moan, whitey is at fault for my lack of success". BULLSHIT! If you're a black and want to succeed in America, (1) learn to get along with others, (2) learn English and how to speak/write it well, and (3) learn "analytical thinking" via math and science in school. THAT'S WHAT BUSINESS PAYS FOR! You wanna be "financially successful/rich"?... DO WHAT THE WHITES AND ASIANS DO! DUH! I understand.. those blacks who conform to the "American Success" paradigm are often called "Uncle Tom" by their lessers.. but let me ask you... Who has the money? Who has the successful financial life? Those blacks who do what everybody else/whites did or the punk-ass getto boy, ne'er-do-wells? Read more >> Options >>
At what age does all the apparent hatred kick in? And is it more prevalent with black males versus black females? In all my years of volunteering in high poverty schools where 90% of the students are black I've had many reactions to my attempts to help them with math. Lately it's been grades 4 - 6 and the girls at least seem to 'get it' that education may be their way out of poverty. That said, you only get to impact these kids for a couple years and then they're on to middle school and then high school. A few of the boys 'get it' but many of them seem to not want to excel ... that it's uncool. One of the smartest boys 2 years ago likely could get into an Ivy league school if he'd focus and quit behaving like a thug. He could ace any test but he also led the class is suspensions from school. Why? To get attention? To be cool?
Scat, Good post .. you beat me by a couple minutes relative to school/education. Herman Cain, Ben Carson and others who grew up disadvantaged could have chosen to become thugs, but they didn't.
And there are MANY, MANY more examples than those two... but they all have something in common... THEY DID THE SAME AS SUCCESSFUL WHITES!! The world doesn't hand you "success on a silver platter" because you're white. Whites aren't successful "because they're white". They are successful because of what they did... how they prepared themselves to BE successful. (I spent 6 years in school after high school. My wife spent 12 years in school after high school... and one of her partners is a black who also spent 12 years in school after high school. How many blacks did anything like that? How many never bothered to even graduate from high school?) Blacks are "not non-successful because they're black"... they are not successful because of what they didn't/can't do! Lots of blacks are just parasitic PUNKS... pissn'and-moan'n about how whitey is "the man" oppressing them and responsible for their station in life. Well, I CALL BULLSHIT ON ALL OF THAT!! The world doesn't owe anybody a living... white, black, or otherwise.
The hatred kicks in very early because you're indoctrinated with it from a very young age. I remember being in the third grade and being shown slavery movies, pics from the era of Jim Crow, etc. And yes, it's more prevalent with black males than with females. What the black females do is...she'll encourage black males to be buffoons. She'll encourage him to run the streets, sell dope, be in and out of jail, etc., all to be with her. When he gets caught up, she'll tell him that it's because of racism. Meanwhile, she's in school getting her college degree. Years later, she's graduated and ready to move up in the world and she no longer wants to deal with the black men she's encouraged to be buffoons. Since that black male has fucked his life up, his only course of action is to blame the system. Ever notice with these cases of police shootings, liberal media will have these black mothers on these shows with their sons talking about how scared they are of white men killing their sons? Yep...black women push that crap --- all the while, black women are advancing leaps and bounds ahead of black men. IMO, black women are the liberal's best friend. As for the smart students you mentioned, that's how it goes. Being a smart black MALE is looked down upon by other blacks. Black men will torment him and black women won't give him the time of day. Only way for him to fit in is to give in to that degenerate lifestyle. I have a friend who was one of the smartest in our entire high school, a 4.0 student. He wanted to fit in badly and guess where he's at now? Doing time for murder....
Money, Thanks for the reply. My wife and I almost wanted to 'adopt' one of the girls I used to work with. We would have given almost anything to get her out of her home environment. I worked with her grades 3-5. I challenged her. So in 5th grade she comes to me and says "I want to go to a good middle school, where kids won't mess with me". So I researched middle schools and took her to 4 of them for one on one meetings with staff & Principal. Why did I take her to them? Because Mom wouldn't .. Mom was collecting every benefit she could .. from Section 8 housing to energy credits to food stamps to Medicaid. And she had a drug dealing boyfriend. When I'd bring the student home after a school event in the evening I'd walk her to the door of the duplex and as the door opened it reeked on smoke (cigarettes & pot) and alcohol. How this kid could keep straight A's is beyond me. She wasn't allowed to even go outside to play due to the danger & crime in the neighborhood. I even offered her $$ for college if she'd meet some requirements. She's now a Sophomore in high school and I've not heard from her in a couple years. These are the kids I worry most about ... with potential, drive and hard working. But one bad decision and she could be a pregnant 17 year old and mess up her future.
Well said, and ill just say what I said on another thread here as well. As someone who grew up in toronto, I can confirm what you are saying. One other thing I will point out is that Black people living in Toronto are far different from black people living in the states. I grew up in a predominantly black/ethnic neighborhood, and most of my friends growing up were a different color than me. The types of shit that people say in the states never even came up between us, I dont know if this is because most of the black people i hung around with were immigrants within 1-2 generations, or if Canadians genuinely do treat black people better, but there was no talk amongst my friends about how they were oppressed, infact most of them simply felt lucky to be here. Race wasnt even anything that we brought up amongst each other unless it was to make a joke once in a while. My best friend who is a Muslim had a Christmas tree up at christmas time, because his parents wanted him to get the same experience the rest of Canadians got, they were still devout muslims, but they tried to adhere to some canadian traditions to fit in. This is much different than the kinds of immigrants being created in the states where liberals have preached to them that our culture is wrong, and that we are the ones who should change to accomodate THEM instead of vice versa. You always see these dumb fuck liberals talking about how we need to have a conversation about race, but from what ive witnessed in my short time in the states, all liberals EVER want to talk about is race, and the racial dynamic of shit. If i ever hear a liberal after today saying "We need to have an honest conversation about race," I going to punch them, you can literally go to the comment section of anything on the internet the past couple days and all that comes up is race, and im not just talking about news sites, im talking about football sites, and all kinds of other stuff that has nothing to do with the michael brown case.
I can only agree with you. I work with a very diverse IT team that comes from all over the world to Canada. We have a number of black people on the team who originally come from either Caribbean Islands or from Africa. All of them are hard-working and bright. Many have graduate degrees. The ones with families urge their children to do well in school. Very different culturally than the U.S. I will note one other thing about all of these recent worldwide immigrants to Canada - within weeks of arriving they all become huge hockey fans... and provide "expert" opinions about calls from the Refs (like all Canadians). However none have been able to turn around the fortune of the Toronto Maple Leafs - no matter how loudly they cheer.
Slaves were not chosen for intelligence. The opposite is true. Physical attributes was all that mattered. Also the ones caught were not the brightest. Usually they were the poorest and least able to escape capture, often because they were simply not too bright. Genetics largely determines intelligence. Blacks in countries other than the US are usually not from slave stock thus may be more intelligent.
LOL. Even with all of the kind gestures you've done, a black person will actually convince another black person that you're doing those things because you're racist.
