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?
