They have large followings while people who try to help black Americans instead of teaching them they're victims are ignored. White people cannot fix black America's problems, and long as their self appointed leaders are the likes of Louis Farakhan, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton, I doubt anyone else can either.
A 60 per cent fatherless rate, and their demographic comprising 30 per cent of the population, but committing 70 per cent of the crimes are among some serious issues that need to be addressed. Long as black youth considers thuggery cool and educated upwardly mobile African Americans Uncle Toms, the prognosis isn't good.
Black people need to somehow get past the past, they are not oppressed by whites anymore. There's ample opportunity for minorities in today's society and workplace despite what the race card dealers or guilty condescending whites say. It's time to lose the chip on your collective shoulders and take advantage of the opportunities in this country instead of making excuses.
