What could be done to curve the violence in black communities?

[BEAM]

starts at home.. start beating your kids .. in their sleep just in case they are thinking about doing something stupid.

Parents do need to take greater responsibility for the actions of their children.

Irresponsible parents who blame everything but themselves kill me...

 

[playmaker88]

Yup sometimes you can do all the right things and still have a fuck up as a child.. but its no excuse to not instill something such as accountability, responsibility, and respect in your child. At the end of the day you are responsible for raising your kids and parents need to have that same accountability,responsibility, and respect .. that they should be instilling in their kids..

black Americans and blacks in other areas are ruled by an OVER-CLASS.

in Port-au-Prince there was Poppa Doc.

in Detroit we had Kwame Kilpatrick. Different Toilet, same shit.

blacks in no part of the world are in clear control of our own resources. there is always someone not of our ethnic group above us, telling us what to do and specifically appointing the followers and corrupted to the top positions, while taking out those who don't follow the status quo.

also, blacks in the third world never had the opportunities black Americans, Canadians & Brits had. However, the majority have deep rooted self hate & a strong sense of love for everything European (this is Stockholm syndrome.) so our leadership caters to the oppressor and not the oppressed.

then explain places like Jamaica fam..............and even Haiti for that matter when the leadership is black

Kwame was a Mayor in one city in a majority white country

the current leadership in many Black majority countries is Black

ie. Sierra Leone, Somalia, Haiti, Jamaica, Ethiopia, etc.

passing the buck as saying black folks don't control their resources is a cop out and just appeasing to european ideals just as badly

black folks need to integrate with the rest of the world, but somehow we seem to be the only group who doesn't know how to assimilate and still maintain our heritage and culture

it's like we are the only minority group who has to choose to either completely adopt to the mainstream by totally white-washing ourselves, or stay within our own culture to the point it's almost regressive because we fear modernization SMH

and then blacks in America really struggle with identity, so AAs are very susceptible to this idea of having to choose essentially between what it means for them to be black or sell out

black folks need to start bringing their own individual ideas and efforts to the hoods, instead of just waiting for that next "leader" to try to guide us all on the same page.................a Malcolm or Martin prototype these days would do more damage to the hood then help it

AAs need to stop being so ready to be sheep IMO.........they also need to reaffirm their ties to their Black relatives overseas

Stuff I'll read later...

Bro, do you think I "retired" / fled the scene after revealing my true character?
Did that one comment jokingly downing girls on this forum honestly make you think I've been faking this whole time?

What's up with that?

broheim, that one joke seemed like you finally let ya darkside out

and had you kept posting I prob woulda teased you for 5 min, and thought nothing of it

but the fact you retired so close to when you made such un-Beam-like comments appeared as if your e-persona was fake instead of you just showing another facet of your personality

way too many posters come in, make a name on the forum with some decent posts, and then change their whole e-style up once somebody sees past the facade

the irony is, mofos welcome sincere posters, but a lot of mofos aren't sincere cause they get caught up in the e-popularity game.............your retirement thread made me think you finally fed into your own hype :shrugs

 

[Hyde Parke]

I seen a white man walking through Baltimore one day in one of the worse neighborhoods. I asked him was he afraid and he looked at me and calmly said "No". I said and why is that? He replied "because you guys only kill each other. I'm white so I have nothing to worry about."

.

say what say huh? and you went on your way and left it at that? smh.

 

[Tommy Billfiger]

Theres nothin you can do.Just duck and get the fuck out the way.

When niggas start gettin demonstrative head for the exits/other way and stay close to the ground

Understandable.

But nah, no hype.
The comment was a joke. I don't even remember what I even said.

I went away for a bit because the end of the school year was coming up and I needed to focus. I honestly didn't think I'd be coming back. But then I didn't end up taking summer classes. So, I have a bit more free time than I had originally anticipated. Besides, this is one of the better forums I've been to.

That's what happened.

And besides, why do you think my alias was so obvious?
I can't fake a personality to save my life...

Sorry to have appeared fake, but trust, that isn't the case at all.

 

[politicalthug202]

look i got the solution to blk ppl problems yall not gone to like it

but we have to stop unproductive dumb niggaz and bitches from reprodcuing and we need economic oppurtunity to

stop ppl from selling drugs.

we need stop giving welfare to highschool drop outs either make them finish school or they get no benefeits

We should offer poor people and welfare recepients money to get their tubes tied and visectomy NoT have kids as well as drug addicts and convicts.

IF you are currently on welfare(medicaid,foodstamps) you should be informed that any kids you have after you sign up will not get benefeits, and if you cant provide for them the state will take them away.

on the education and economic tip. We need to get the cost of education down. Offer kids vouchers. make it easier to kick

trouble makers out of school and make tehm join the military. Encourage kids who are not that smart but well behaved to join the military or some other public service to keep collgee inflation cost down. offter tax breaks to buisnees to move there companies

closer to poor areas. Im prove mass transit so ppl have access to more jobs and resources.

on the drug tip we have to decriminalize drugs to bring the price down so it wont be profitable to sell drugs ,and less ppl will engage.

bruh, we still gon tease you for making a lame ass retirement thread like you were hired on the IC, and somehow you finally decided you were going to start drawing pension LOL

but seriously what made your alias seem so obvious was 1st the font, and then the tone of your posting style

for some reason I noticed when I started posting on the regular you could start reading telltale signs of an individual poster's e-persona

you can also tell if a poster is male or female, younger or older, or possibly english isn't their 1st language

and that alias you made was way too familiar and Beamish for mofos not to peep that in GnS haha

Honestly, I could care less about the teasing.

What, i'mma be hurt by people cracking jokes on the internet?

Please.

Kimi assumed that I was being condescending by announcing my leave. False.

Other assumed I thought I was important. False.

I just made my future plans known. That's it. Lame or not, it happened.

If anything, what's condescending is jumping at the opportunity to tell others how unimportant you think they are.

And yeah, I should have known my alias would be too obvious, but it's only a testament to my genuine representation of myself on this site.

I just didn't want people acting funny towards me for no reason, you know?

I wanna enjoy the time that I contribute here.

But anyway...

 

[one_manshow]

Be responsible for yourself and those close to you because what may work for one person be not work for the other. You got people complaining its parenting yet I know plenty of associates who had botH parents ,came from a good household but are doing life in prison right now. Then you have people blaming the media yet y'all continue to support Tyler Perry movies and other films that send out the wrong messages.

 

[Shizlansky]

i know this gon sound dumb,, But dont do stupid shit that you know thats wrong, to me its that simple..

im pretty sure most ppl know right from wrong

 

[musicology1985]

1. explain Jamaica? easy. Jamaica is still a commonwealth realm. you have to blame the British Monarchy & they're political puppets. they set Jamaica up for failure.

2. BLACKS DO NOT CONTROL OUR OWN RESOURCES. WE ONLY GOT AT THE MOST 10 BILLIONAIRES AND PROBABLY NO FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES. we make paper, we don't control wealth.

3. I used Kwame as an example of the black over-class corruption which has dogged us and hindered our progress since the 1970's, and even earlier in Africa.

4. we have to get our own house right before we even consider integration. when u integrate as the lessor power, u always lose. white's are giving us the bedroom but not the controls. the Chinese took care of china before integration (they were pimped by the white man too, just like everybody else.) but they learned to put Chinese over everything. we have to learn to do the same for our kind. only then will we get respect.

Never seen his movies but from what I've heard it would surprise me if they encouraged street violence. Are they really good examples?

 

[glowy]

Increase the rate of abortion in the hood.

Birth control, etc.

 

[varealness]

Honestly on some real shit, no one wants to say it, unity snitching is what will solve the problem. Us black folks have been condition to endure violence from long time, then rap with no snitching. No, I'm not talking about your boy who sell weed, or even coke to make ends meet. I'm taking murderers, at some point we got to draw the line and stand for our own communities.

Don't believe folks aint snitching.

About a year ago a young man was killed in my neighborhood. Detectives came door to door asking what we had seen and heard. Everyone in our neighborhood did what we could to assist as the young who was killed was only 15. My family and at least one other family that I know of provided video footage from our surveillance camera's which, assisted in the apprehension of the shooter.

Long story short. The Detective who was handling the case shared an interesting tidbit with my wife and I. He said, at the time of the investigation that they expect information to begin pouring in once they post the reward for information leading to an arrest\apprehension. So, my response was does that really work? The Detective said, "Family turns on Family" for reward money all the time.
