[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That black people have some serious social problems that they themselves are responsible for. That until they stop blaming everyone else and take a long hard look in the mirror they will remain exactly where they are: with broken families, single mothers, in jail, marginilized, and ignorant.[/quote]

While his name is sullied now, Bill Cosby has spoken to this a bit.

A cultural change in many communities is needed.  However, there is also a lot of institutional racism/discrimination that can't be ignored.

It's frustrating-there has to be acceptance of the causes on all sides.[/quote]

Well the fact still remains that if the black community can't change their mindset then they will remain in the dust as other minorities continue to blow by them. We can have symposiums where white people declared their sins, put in programs, even offer repriations and they will continue to remain stagnant or even slide backwards.

I actually don't even think my views are in the minority, people are just afraid to express them. So instead the rest of the country soldiers on without whose who don't want to do the hard work on themselves it takes to join in.[/quote]

Yesterday, I went to drybar and then to have my nails done.  The stylist at drybar was black, one illegitimate child and spent a singiciant amount of time talking about Kim Kardashian.

Afterwards, I go to the nail salon and the stylist (who didn't have a client) was sitting there practicing English with a coworker and reading a legitimate book.

The difference between African Americans and asians is unreal![/quote]

So, because of that encounter you're now an expert on Asians and African Americans?   Apparently, you're drowning in stereotypes and you refuse to acknowledge that neither Asians or African Americans are monolithic groups.  There is great diversity in culture, religion, educational levels, family structure, socio-economic status, and lifestyles with African Americans.  I wonder how you would react if you met an AA that didn't fit into your bias of them?   I'm curious have you ever met an educated AA from a upper class background before?   [/quote]
