"BET News Presents: Covid-19 - Black Americas Fight"


  

          

im watching to see how this is executed

Gayle, in an interview brought up the belief in the rumor that black people couldnt get the virus.....aka I get my news from social media. The way she talked about it made it seem like that would be talked about in length.

Our culture dont like accountability, interesting to see how it all plays out

The black-white state imprisonment disparity is 5-to-1.
If what you say is true, I feel like there's very good reason for it.

theres room for both systematic issues as well as accountability in discussions about our culture

between the 2, only one we have control over. our culture is laser focused on the one we have no control over

the idea that black people generally have some sort of issue with personal accountability is a racist idea. period.

its internalized white supremacy.

recognize that, then disabuse yourself of that notion.

American/Western culture is individualist

selfishness and lack of accountablility affects every race of people that grow up in a selfish, me-first culture...and America is exactly that. all the way down the white people protesting being forced to stay at home for the virus.

It's NOT specific to Black people.

you can talk about personal accountability, but to frame in a Black context is a racist construct.

nowhere in my words did i say or even imply that our flaws are specific to us. thats your emotions talking.

BUT THEY DO IT TOO!!! is such a childish reply to cultural flaws

oh so NOW we can talk about personal accountability, when before there was no room.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
