In my opinion, the African American's worst enemy are themselves. They destroy their youth with violence in their music and media. They destroy themselves in their own communities. They destroy themselves by placing the blame of their failing status as civilized beings on White people because they believe they are still being oppressed.

As an African American, I believe the only way to save our race is to usher in change for our people. Which would include getting rid of WSHH(that shit alone sets us back hundreds of years). Inspiring our youth to listen to artists like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and even a radical like Kanye. They all speak of increasing the worth of the African American, which is what we need to consider ourselves civilized beings. We need to stop all of this idiotic behavior that is called being "ratchet"(in our defense even white people exhibit ratchet symptoms). Black women need to be taught that they have worth and aren't just accessories. They don't have to just give it up to any many who asks. Our youth needs to learn that your brain is the most powerful weapon a human being possesses.

We can't continue to blame our struggle on the government or white people. The government helps out those struggling plenty enough and most whites have joined our arms as brothers in the recent protests. Who can we blame now?

Anyway what do you guys think the worst enemy of the African American is? How can we help ourselves?


*Please keep this discussion mature and don't be racist.

...

all you had to say was, "go listen to my fav rappers"

How does that have to do with anything. Them being my favorites means they don't strive for the recovery of the black community. Maybe that's the reason I like them? Lol.

They shouldn't even have enemies in the first place, racism is hard to understand.

Agreed, but no race should have enemies. Not just blacks.

I agree, some just think it's cool or want to fit in. I think it's stupid since you're leading yourself into jail. Sometimes they make the black community look bad, Idk why they do this, and believe I'm black, and I've witnessed this many times. I have no idea whats making them act like this, or why they're doing this to themselves.

The worst enemy or rather enemies of black americans are a combination of themselves, as you said and the country they live in. Given the history of the US it would take many years for the afro-american community to completely rise above its current state in the american society.

Throughout history people in the same condition as the african americans are, have never had an equal class as the majority except if they take over through force or something of that nature.

I agree with you though african americans need to start supporting each other and the americans as a whole need to find ways to improve their country before it is too late

I got my own problems, I am AA and sometimes I don't notice this when I am in a certain area. So yeah ourselves just like every other person.

Stop listening to guys like Bobby shmurta, stop trying to become prof. Athletes all of us can't be one.

I really want to comment, but this feels like a lowkey bait thread.

Get rid of wshh or reform it. we can afford to lose mediatakeout, "reality" tv and all that. but as far as music, i think it's all apart of our culture and we need to embrace all types of (our)hip-hop music. There is substance in all of it, different stories from different walks of life of our people. The biggest change we need to make is to accept ALL of our people and not try to change and police each other.

Alas brother, my either. I understand the dancing aspect(Not twerking, I still don't understand the appeal. I like asses, but shaking your ass to the same song that is calling you a ***** for doing so shows you the lack of intelligence). It comes with the hip-hop culture. However when it extends to things such as robbing people, inventing the knock-out game, or just being an annoyance in the public view for likes on a social media account, that shit becomes ridiculous. I don't understand why people can't be civilized Lol.

No dude say what you want. This is what was on my mind so I just wanted to get it out there. I just wanted to see what people on the base think.

I think I agree with you. It seems to fit with what I see often.
