>>who gave us... >crack?
Shit I live in Crack Central, yet I have never tried crack or any other drugs. I've seen what drug use can do to you at a young age. I lived with folks ODing , sticking needles in their necks, fighting over drugs , having their children live in substandard housing , not enough food to eat, no real livelihood and decided that drugs aren't for me. So while the drugs are there it is entirely up to you to take them.
>alcohilism?
Same as with the drugs, it's there but you don't have to take it.
>guns and the propensity to kill >other blacks?
We are bringing in the guns and we are killing each other. Monday a young black man shot and killed another black man because he hit his car!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some of us don't value are own lives let alone another humans.
>suck-ass job choices?
Suck ass job choices . In the Philadelphia area manufacturing jobs go unfilled because folks don't have enough education. ( Most of these jobs only require a ged or high school diploma) >triflin' school systems?
Us again. We don't participate in Home & School Association. We send are children to white schools , causing the funding set aside for our children to go a white school. There was a parent meet and greet at my son's school recently, they held it in the evening and only a handful of parents showed up.
I'm sorry but a lot of this shit is our own fault. Once we stop being "victims" we can achieve anything . If we keep the victim mentality we will never get ahead. Yes racism is a factor in a lot of our lives, but we are letting them win by crying about it and not changing.
