Thats the thing, NOBODY is arguing its not. But systematic mass incarceration is something that was organized against black folks going back DECADES. How can we hold ourselves accountable for systems specifically targeting our communities?

Or they are waiting on the day when they can force white people to take better care of us. Never going to happen.

We do need to start at home and the system needs to be changed period. Because until it does, no matter how great we are at raising iur children, the same injustices WILL occur at disproportionate rates.
Denzel is only partially right and seems to downplay the bigger reason. If it were solely the start at home approach being the answer, we'd still have Black Wallstreet et al.

It dont think anybody's waiting to be saved. We just want the system to stop fuckin over us so we can have the same opportunities as others. The margin of error for black folks is ALOT slimmer than other races

Correct... So like Denzel said, don't make it easy. The way to combat it from our end is to take care of home.
Simply pointing out injustice does nothing. And changing the system takes forever, if it ever happens.
Literally your best solution for the time being is to take care of home.

the only problem with this is the same reason niggas bringing up everything but this...
responsibility is a mean motherfucker....especially when you have no one to blame.
then the real niggas and the real men stand up and stand out.
as long a fukk niggas running around they can hide amongst the problems. they can dodge growing up. they can dodge being a man.
but if we can limit the fukery then guess what? them niggas out chea looking like fools.
MFs don't even know what they saying right know -
The solution yall think yall talking about ain't even a fuckin solution.
Of course the MFs with the fucked up homes should do something about their fucked up homes.
How many times sometimes somebody gotta tell yall that it doesn't mean the prison system and the court system, and the cops, and the political system, etc.. etc... ain't fucked up ?
Who the fuck is in here saying MFs should have fucked up homes ?
