[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically when it comes to negative things like crime and violence and poverty there is this thing called the "black community" - IT DOES EXIST - and it is the sole responsibility of that "black community" is to fix all those problems and cure all those social ills and basically get it together because as its often echoed and propagated, the "black community" is a mess, so there is a great need for black people to get together and respect one another.

HOWEVER...

When it comes to positive things like academic achievement and dream fulfillment and opening doors to greater opportunity there is no such thing as a "black community" - IT SHOULD NOT EXIST - and it is a slap in the face of whites everywhere for black students to try and establish a "black community" to support one another and network with one another and celebrate one another because as its often echoed and propagated, the "white community" is pure paradise, so there is no need for black people to get together and recognize one another because they're already in heaven at Harvard.[/quote]

Wow! Nailed it. [/quote]

Not really.

PP forgot to mentioned how much money from the white taxpayers are poured into so called "black communities" and different types of programs to bring them up. Don't pretend that white people don't deal with those problems. I've seen a lot of white social workers, probation officers who works with AA minors who got in trouble. But no amount of money and no number of white social workers, no matter how many programs you create can fix crime and poverty unless so called black communities change their attitude toward education and work ethics.

Here's a novel idea - maybe we could encourage those black Harvard graduates to get together for a day in celebration and collaboration to motivate them to reform and redefine the "black community" that you and many others are convinced is solely comprised of poverty stricken criminals and leeches to the American taxpayer.  Don't pretend that white people were primarily responsible for those students academic achievements - I'm quite confident they leaned on their black family and black friends and were effectively influenced and encouraged by black teachers and black mentors and black classmates to successfully further their education.  I know it goes against the popular narrative that you and many others like to perpetuate, but those students are part of the black community also and their exemplary attitude and work ethic is what enabled them to succeed at an Ivy League school.

That chip on your shoulder must be cripplingly heavy :-)  Seriously, that's a great idea....but fair warning, it may take more than a day.[/quote]
