Oh I am definitely with you. I love your title already. Modern black culture is exactly that: trash. If you want healthy family and you want to grow individually as a person and be a more qualified husband, wife, mother, and father who actually cares about whether or not your fruit from your body or actually productive citizens and not just good employees, you must know your black history but you must abandoned black culture and seek out better knowledge because this culture ain’t It.
If Black culture is "Trash" why is it heavily replicated? Why are Latinos serving Gumbo? Why are their Asian rappers? Why do non-traditional students attend HBCU's? Why are non-Blacks heavily entertained by Blacks? Why did Tulsa get bombed???
I understand what you are saying as the son of a Liberian/Ghanian father who graduated with a bachelors degree in civil engineering and my Liberian mother🇱🇷who graduated with a bachelors degree in nursing from temple university I have always get different than black kids growing up. I have went to private and charter schools for most of my life. When I entered high school my dad did not send me to the local high school because he did not want me to hang around bad kids. I once went to a high school gathering to talk about black issues and I felt so unwelcome even though I wanted to be there. My sisters went to the public high school because they could not go to the local charter school and they were asked by black American girls why do you talk white? I was told by a Mexican kid I talk white and dress like a white boy. There is a certain tension between the black American and African immigrants because the African immigrants have a completely different culture that is similar to white culture. I have as associate in arts degree from a state college and a Bachelors of Arts in interdisciplinary entrepreneurship studies I want to be a very successful entrepreneur I work two jobs and weightlift 4 times a week and I have NEVER had a girlfriend my biceps are bigger that 17 inches and I am at least 6.5% body fat but I prefer to keep to myself at my college radiation my friend from high school told me not to marry a black girl I was offended and asked him why and he said that he did not want me to deal with garbage in his mind he was PROTECTING me. I would not say black culture is trash but mainstream black culture seems to be ghetto and and ghetto culture is trash. This is why 30% of educated black men marry out Kevin Samuel’s said if you were 30% of your best customers 30% and GROWING you would need to figure out why don’t black the customer black the company. I will probably marry outside my race and if I marry a black women she will probably be a Caribbean or African I no longer care what anyone thinks black America needs to change.
Thank you so much for this video. Many people look down on the Afro American community because of fatherhood highly being absents, thug mentality, resisting arrest, Afro Americans killing Afro Americans, Afro Americans faces craps from other Afro Americans. But for you, please still be proud of your race. Be proud that u want positive surroundings.
15:55 You’re right. The culture that excuses degeneracy and looks to degeneracy as a viable path is one of the major factors. I think we also need to focus on the lack of character and accountability by - in my opinion - the majority of black people today. You could argue this is true for Americans generally, but focusing on the black community, *most* black people *blame others* for their shortcomings.
I have turned my back on the culture recently too. It's not a great feeling initially. I often get frustrated by what I see in the city I'm in (Atlanta) , and will probably have to change my social circle a bit-- at the age of 40.
By turning your back on Black culture, do you then stop listening to Black recording artist? Stop voting for qualified Blacks? Stop watching sports dominated by Blacks? Stop visiting predominately Black countries? Stop watching films with a predominately Black cast? Stop shopping at Black-owned? Stop reading books by Black authors? Stop eating gumbo? Stop dating Black women?? If so, what and who are your non-Black alternatives that are more passionate about ceasing connection with their own culture than you are???????
Brother, stand your ground. I’m a give you some inspiration here. And it is from the great stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius, “If you are ever tempted to look for outside approval,” Epictetus said, “realize that you have compromised your integrity. If you need a witness, be your own.” This was something Marcus Aurelius wrestled with more than Epictetus because he was a public person. He saw crowds cheering him in the street. People flocked to court to heap praise on him (before asking for favors). He also had to put up with their jeers and criticisms. Eventually he realized that he couldn’t pay attention to any of it. He had to hold himself to his own standard-an inner scorecard-and ignore everything else. The clapping was meaningless. The boos were too. What mattered was his own integrity-he had to be his own witness. Is it not true that most people are not very bright, hold regressive or alarming opinions, and generally follow the herd? And yet somehow we think it’s vindication when they love us? It’s nonsense. It’s pretty strange how much we value the respect of people we don’t respect…and the lengths we’re willing to go to get it. For a culture that doesn’t value education, they will not value your new and free thoughts.
I'm black but not pro black not into most things black people celebrate, I was suppose to go to all black schools but I told my mom going to middle school and high school that I didn't want to go to an all black school, she transferred me to a more diverse school I got to become friends with multiple different races, so glad I did and that schools curriculum was far more advanced than the school I was supposed to go to. Never in my life ever said I didn't want to be black I just don't like a lot of things the black race does.
Bruh........ I turned my back long ago on black community. All I heard his you don't act or think black, and it's become an adolescent mindset. Or if you try present new information or course of action, you get call supporting whyte supermancy stuff.
@@truthtelleranon uh huh improvement is not what people think lol good try but no therapy is a thing Black people gotta try it recover from all the things man I understand you think Mental health being White American culture no man it can also be a Hebrew and general thing for all but people think oh Mental health addressing our issues is this and that well I'm a Hebrew but I advocate for our people having Mental Health topics with their therapist rather than bashing them they can be rebuilding themselves... 😅 😅 😅

I understand what I might say may be various on y'alls opinions but however every Black man even woman and babe is going through their battles rather expose than their wounds I'm praying for the healing so people can be the light to the others who are not us...
also be a light to the people within the community its time people look to prayer and pray for your folks not their downfall but healing be a brother/sister help them...
I'm disappointed in the path and stance in which the African American community has taken. Maybe I'm wrong but in my opinion, build us up, don't turn your back. Also build yourself up and stop waiting on others to build for you. I just feel like we are in this relationship against each other as a culture. Example: it's not that Fani Willis is not wrong, it's not that she is on National TV making a spectacle of herself reflecting on our estranged unity as a whole, however, to be of color tearing her down in reference to her weight, hair, big Fannie etc is ignorant. I thought to myself, comment on the facts without comments of her makeup and name calling in which people of color face everyday and they are NOT on trial. That is what other communities want to see. They love that negative energy. You don't hear the other communities tearing down the name, appearance, hair, weight, stature when they have issues. No, it's strictly fact reporting. We are lost, so lost....
Maybe you should change this to Black American culture because Black African, Black Caribbean and Black British culture is DIFFERENT and worlds apart from Black American culture.
Not really. Jamaica for example is one of the most violent and degenerate cultures in the world (stats bear this out). State Dept recently issued a strong advisory not to travel there. Just one example. I do agree that there are differences.
What is "black culture" exactly? Or, "THE black community"? Is it in USA, Africa, South America, Carribbean....?? It's much more complex than an undefined singular identity.
Actually, it's not when you look at statistics. Low marriage rate, high abortion rate,high out of wedlock rate. Black men kill each other at a high rate. Highest in the country. Rap music is trash, especially female rap.
it starts with you how you going to build on peace and connections if its not you you look after its ok to love your folks as one has every right to its also ok to love others who love in return opposite of you its time people heal what you call trash culture is not just one culture...
Well, the root is the first teacher, the mother. When you have a culture of children being brought up by overgrown teenagers, this is the result. We need to change the image of black culture. Bring back masculinity to the culture. They would rather be an entertainer than a doctor. They would rather be athletes or rappers because they believe that’s the way out of poverty. Poverty is a mindset, and American black culture is addicted to poverty. Using the race card isn’t permissible in this day and age because systemic oppression doesn’t exist. Even someone with a felony has an opportunity to get their lives together. You’ll see other races of individuals arrive in America with nothing but prospering better than in their own country.
If your peers are not goal-oriented or pursued high achievement, then they can easily become part of the thug culture. I was the only black student from my high school graduating class to go to college. There were 28 blacks students in my high school class of 596 students. I was named as one of the 12 outstanding students in my class and won a scholarship, the same as my siblings before and after me. The difference is that we never felt inferior to anyone, and that's what my great parents made sure of. I stayed at the prom with my date (A beautiful black college student who was two years older but had attended the same high school and was also named as one of the outstanding students in her graduating class) and all the other black students walked out because they didn't like the music. See the mentality. They felt outside the mainstream and I felt part of it. They called me a "white boy" for being academic oriented. I live in a black community because I love it and have beautiful memories of growing up in one.
everyone has a different look on education just like they have different looks on actual self-care in the Black community generally speaking education gaining it in a sense is not acting "White" if you get something to help rebuild the community you have choices self-care is no sin and its not for White America its for generally a broken people...
its ok to love Black people and love others as long as they both likeness in mind few that are in that bubble understand people assume just because you are Black its this and that the Almighty made mention of Negroes being the lead of those who were in and outside their nation its the great fall of Israelite culture and tradition that landed various Negroes in the soils who match the Bible from the Israelite stance lacking identity...
is one of the very reasons the Negroes who had the traumas of the captivity it was all the wounds people had to face its quite a dishearten reality to see what they done to Black families I'm saying Black families collectively speaking not excluding the little ones either so I say the moment people belittle black culture as a commenter has said its much much more wider and broader for Negroes I know not all are not Biblical based I respect their space but I'm just saying there are options all I'm saying...
if the White community was broken they never get on video and trash their nations they try their best to fix whatever societal issue in their community is it a sin that they help their own...? no its not but it is insensitive for people to say get over slavery as though it never was an issue but the Negroes has their own battles some are tougher than others in reality people complain that Black people are the ones producing culture thats bad I understand Black people got a lot to work on but to add more wounds to the problem is not making the situation from a realistic angle better what is however it takes the route to bettering yourself people obviously forget they are a singular voice with popular and unpopular opinions its understood the Negroes of America have to be more about self-care so they can progress that progression never has to be in favor of bashing others who are Negroes...
How do you turn your back on your own nation? I could never do that. I can turn my back on an individual within my nation. When a person don't have a sense of logic, they can stick their head in the ground or turn their back. Me, if it don't make sense, I find a way to make it make sense. 🤔🤨😳
To say I don't like "Black Culture" is a gross generalization. It doesn't sound like an educated statement. Culture consists of so many things. (People do anything for shock value these days..) People who judge the world soley based on their own experience will always have a narrow view. There's elements of every culture that are positive and negative. I've lived in three different countries. I've also lived in the suburbs and the "hood". I've been to private school and public. I've also lived in all white neighborhood and all black neighborhoods and mixed neighborhoods. I've been to an hbcu as well. The more one experiences in life and travels, the broader your experience is and the less generalizations a person will make. I'm not on any side left, right; I align with people like mlk said the character first. They could be white, black or whatever. Self hate is terrible..To say you hate your own people/culture and everyone else is fine is odd. Black people are not a monolith and neither is black culture. There are so many black cultures and variety in culture and facets to culture itself. Broaden your scope.
@@NoBotOWWhy do you and your ilk conflate criticism and self-hatred so often? Just because someone has a similar skin tone to you doesn’t mean they are an extension of you. As such, you are free to reject or criticize them as you see fit, and have a robust sense of self-love and self-esteem.
At 3:50 he emphatically states he has not a shred of self-hatred. You’re building strawmen and putting words in his mouth. You yourself stated that there are positives and negatives. So why are you upset that he chooses to underscore the overwhelming negativity? If it isn’t addressed, it can’t be improved. There is countless empirical data that demonstrates the sorry state of the black community. You are just another individual that has decided to put your head in the sand. Not all of us will stay quiet.
I say each person has their own unique mind some of others rather bash things within our culture than to rebuild it ground up and actually take a step towards therapy if you are really sincere pray to the Lord that he gives you a good therapist a lot of unresolved issues might be because of numerous things just know y'all therapy is not a sin its ok to seek help to help you get back to your ground all is at your own paces though wounds are the root of it all if many had no wounds you might've seen Black people in various of ways helping in vast packs but note to y'all the more help you receive for yourself the better...
Kind of an L take. Black culture is broad (like any other culture) and encompasses so many different ways of talking, dressing, traditions, beliefs, etc. Feel like you’re confusing black culture with political sides. Maybe travel some more. In the military I’ve had black friends from literally everywhere all with different takes, ideology, and political stances. From this whole video it feels to me like you’re just disagreeing with the left leaning part of culture rather than us as a whole. You also can’t really turn your back on a culture you’re inherently going to consume and be apart of.
I think he's referring to American "ratchet black" culture which is unfortunately very front and center because they are the loudest people, trust me there is very much a difference and unfortunately it gets lumped up with the overall black culture who are just regular people trying to go about there lives and raise productive members of society.
@@cecollins68 He generalized the entire culture (and race from my interpretation). You can be pro black, highly intelligent, have independent thoughts, and be a great providing member of society at the same time. Seems like he lacked the intelligence to thread out idiots like “Dr.” Umar while trying to fit in to his surroundings. I grew up in ATL and literally every peer I’ve had and have laugh at big personalities like him. Also the “ratchet” thing bugs me as well because even though I was the quiet nerd type, all my old peers who fit that stereotype are still just as successful as me; going on their phDs or MBAs etc. Every other culture has their dumbfucks or misguided souls but black people are the only ones who blame ourselves. You and the video creator can claim to not be self-hating but genuinely down the culture. He mentioned “black” riots in the video but failed to mention the capital siege. Same attitudes that people had towards MLK and their protests/riots.
@@cecollins68 also forgot to mention that even the title says “Black Culture” and doesn’t follow up on any of it really, which specific culture, locations, etc, other than “I don’t fit in with left leaning”. Like cmon bro. Make excuses but he means the lot of us.
@@Anteros0 I don't know if you hang around cultures outside of black people, but if you do try asking them every so often what they think actual black culture is? and watch them describe a completely ratchet sterotype which completely Dosen't describe you or probably any of your values. This is 100% what he's talking about, this is obvious to anyone that's spent anytime outside of black and leftist echo chambers, the ratchetness that is front and center in our culture Is what the majority of people from other races think actual black culture is, now you can argue about whether or not we give a f*ck about any other races opinions all day but let's not argue semantics and ignore the reality in front of us.
@@cecollins68 Yes, people who are ignorant and unaware of what black culture actually is (which can even be our own like this guy) of course are going to say that. Like I said I’ve met people and consumed/shared cultures globally and it’s literally the people who just haven’t looked at the culture & race at more than a surface level. Same thing with any race or culture imo. Perpetuating that stereotype is literally the casual or covert racism he complained about in the video.
My mother sent me to a Catholic grammar school. It was all Black kids but the nuns were White. They NEVER taught science but I stumbled across science fiction in 4th grade. Of course the authors were all White and consequently the characters were also. I didn't particularly care. I learned about science because of SF. Black kids are being sabotaged in school. The teachers act like being intelligent means being subservient to Authority. A nun told me, "You will get into a good high school but you won't do well.". I had refused to be a patrol boy after she was on my ass about it for two weeks. Two Black kids paid me $100 each to take their SATs after making fun of me for 3 years in high school.

We don’t care bruh 🤷🏾♂️ Yall old ppl had Yall turn step aside and watch the younger generation bring this wicked country to its knees. We didn’t create what the world see today they did.
Young bro we're not that old either. At 30 we didn't create this world either. Baby boomers have more influence on the world than Gen X and Millennials.
Man you must be a teenager. You do know that any generation born after Baby boomers has little impact on society today. The older generation was before our time. They didn't want to teach their sons and nephews. They wanted to compete with the younger generations and now we're all 30s and 40s with very little skills.
Your black culture may have been trash but not mine. I had great parents. I lived in a great community. We did not feel inferior to anyone. We excelled and achieved our goals. We were raised to be part of society and pursued our own dreams.
@@mateaukalua4426 That makes zero sense. Black culture is the collection of behaviors of black people in America. Disclaiming blackness is actually very typically black.
The blackest thing he could say would be “we was kangz!” And “black men are gods!” And “black culture is the archetype” 😂. This man is in *the minority*. The majority celebrate degeneracy.
I understand you feel Black Culture is this way but what are y'all Black men and women thinking on besides calling the culture trash are y'all just ranting about the current state the condition of the Negro ones in particular of the Transatlantic descendant lineages are lost they been lost yes but rather complain about the condition of our people I pray for our people even when in this condition a Negro today is an exile because hes of Israel and the only reason why we are in the shape is because many of us are conditioned after all things captivity done to us I understand what I say is unpopular its relatable but however you have to realize God's people deviated from him thus his culture turned against him they were the light to the nations both their own and others outside of the Israelite way...
You are right. I’m so glad to see men like you speaking out.
I am also a Black Conservative On the Same Path. Keep doing your thing my brother. 🇺🇸💯

I stayed at the prom with my date (A beautiful black college student who was two years older but had attended the same high school and was also named as one of the outstanding students in her graduating class) and all the other black students walked out because they didn't like the music. See the mentality. They felt outside the mainstream and I felt part of it. They called me a "white boy" for being academic oriented. I live in a black community because I love it and have beautiful memories of growing up in one.
everyone has a different look on education just like they have different looks on actual self-care in the Black community generally speaking education gaining it in a sense is not acting "White" if you get something to help rebuild the community you have choices self-care is no sin and its not for White America its for generally a broken people...
its ok to love Black people and love others as long as they both likeness in mind few that are in that bubble understand people assume just because you are Black its this and that the Almighty made mention of Negroes being the lead of those who were in and outside their nation its the great fall of Israelite culture and tradition that landed various Negroes in the soils who match the Bible from the Israelite stance lacking identity...
is one of the very reasons the Negroes who had the traumas of the captivity it was all the wounds people had to face its quite a dishearten reality to see what they done to Black families I'm saying Black families collectively speaking not excluding the little ones either so I say the moment people belittle black culture as a commenter has said its much much more wider and broader for Negroes I know not all are not Biblical based I respect their space but I'm just saying there are options all I'm saying...
if the White community was broken they never get on video and trash their nations they try their best to fix whatever societal issue in their community is it a sin that they help their own...? no its not but it is insensitive for people to say get over slavery as though it never was an issue but the Negroes has their own battles some are tougher than others in reality people complain that Black people are the ones producing culture thats bad I understand Black people got a lot to work on but to add more wounds to the problem is not making the situation from a realistic angle better what is however it takes the route to bettering yourself people obviously forget they are a singular voice with popular and unpopular opinions its understood the Negroes of America have to be more about self-care so they can progress that progression never has to be in favor of bashing others who are Negroes...
however I say be well and God be with you.
How do you turn your back on your own nation? I could never do that. I can turn my back on an individual within my nation. When a person don't have a sense of logic, they can stick their head in the ground or turn their back. Me, if it don't make sense, I find a way to make it make sense. 🤔🤨😳
To say I don't like "Black Culture" is a gross generalization. It doesn't sound like an educated statement. Culture consists of so many things. (People do anything for shock value these days..) People who judge the world soley based on their own experience will always have a narrow view. There's elements of every culture that are positive and negative. I've lived in three different countries. I've also lived in the suburbs and the "hood". I've been to private school and public. I've also lived in all white neighborhood and all black neighborhoods and mixed neighborhoods. I've been to an hbcu as well. The more one experiences in life and travels, the broader your experience is and the less generalizations a person will make. I'm not on any side left, right; I align with people like mlk said the character first. They could be white, black or whatever. Self hate is terrible..To say you hate your own people/culture and everyone else is fine is odd. Black people are not a monolith and neither is black culture. There are so many black cultures and variety in culture and facets to culture itself. Broaden your scope.
I bet you can’t even name the five components of culture without googling it.
What other aspects of black culture are there? Gangs? Drugs? Hoe?
@@InstructorMike that's wild, because even if they couldn't, it wouldn't at all take away from their point. Self hate is sad. Go see the world.
@@NoBotOWWhy do you and your ilk conflate criticism and self-hatred so often? Just because someone has a similar skin tone to you doesn’t mean they are an extension of you. As such, you are free to reject or criticize them as you see fit, and have a robust sense of self-love and self-esteem.
At 3:50 he emphatically states he has not a shred of self-hatred. You’re building strawmen and putting words in his mouth. You yourself stated that there are positives and negatives. So why are you upset that he chooses to underscore the overwhelming negativity? If it isn’t addressed, it can’t be improved. There is countless empirical data that demonstrates the sorry state of the black community. You are just another individual that has decided to put your head in the sand. Not all of us will stay quiet.

Nigerian culture isn’t trash
Where in the video did he talk about Nigeria , don't insert yourself into argument that has nothing to do with you.
WTF are you talking about!
I mean…the Nigerian scammer stereotype exists for a reason.

I say each person has their own unique mind some of others rather bash things within our culture than to rebuild it ground up and actually take a step towards therapy if you are really sincere pray to the Lord that he gives you a good therapist a lot of unresolved issues might be because of numerous things just know y'all therapy is not a sin its ok to seek help to help you get back to your ground all is at your own paces though wounds are the root of it all if many had no wounds you might've seen Black people in various of ways helping in vast packs but note to y'all the more help you receive for yourself the better...
Kind of an L take. Black culture is broad (like any other culture) and encompasses so many different ways of talking, dressing, traditions, beliefs, etc. Feel like you’re confusing black culture with political sides. Maybe travel some more. In the military I’ve had black friends from literally everywhere all with different takes, ideology, and political stances. From this whole video it feels to me like you’re just disagreeing with the left leaning part of culture rather than us as a whole. You also can’t really turn your back on a culture you’re inherently going to consume and be apart of.
I think he's referring to American "ratchet black" culture which is unfortunately very front and center because they are the loudest people, trust me there is very much a difference and unfortunately it gets lumped up with the overall black culture who are just regular people trying to go about there lives and raise productive members of society.
@@cecollins68 He generalized the entire culture (and race from my interpretation). You can be pro black, highly intelligent, have independent thoughts, and be a great providing member of society at the same time. Seems like he lacked the intelligence to thread out idiots like “Dr.” Umar while trying to fit in to his surroundings. I grew up in ATL and literally every peer I’ve had and have laugh at big personalities like him. Also the “ratchet” thing bugs me as well because even though I was the quiet nerd type, all my old peers who fit that stereotype are still just as successful as me; going on their phDs or MBAs etc. Every other culture has their dumbfucks or misguided souls but black people are the only ones who blame ourselves. You and the video creator can claim to not be self-hating but genuinely down the culture. He mentioned “black” riots in the video but failed to mention the capital siege. Same attitudes that people had towards MLK and their protests/riots.
@@cecollins68 also forgot to mention that even the title says “Black Culture” and doesn’t follow up on any of it really, which specific culture, locations, etc, other than “I don’t fit in with left leaning”. Like cmon bro. Make excuses but he means the lot of us.
@@Anteros0 I don't know if you hang around cultures outside of black people, but if you do try asking them every so often what they think actual black culture is? and watch them describe a completely ratchet sterotype which completely Dosen't describe you or probably any of your values.
This is 100% what he's talking about, this is obvious to anyone that's spent anytime outside of black and leftist echo chambers, the ratchetness that is front and center in our culture Is what the majority of people from other races think actual black culture is, now you can argue about whether or not we give a f*ck about any other races opinions all day but let's not argue semantics and ignore the reality in front of us.
@@cecollins68 Yes, people who are ignorant and unaware of what black culture actually is (which can even be our own like this guy) of course are going to say that. Like I said I’ve met people and consumed/shared cultures globally and it’s literally the people who just haven’t looked at the culture & race at more than a surface level. Same thing with any race or culture imo. Perpetuating that stereotype is literally the casual or covert racism he complained about in the video.
My mother sent me to a Catholic grammar school. It was all Black kids but the nuns were White. They NEVER taught science but I stumbled across science fiction in 4th grade. Of course the authors were all White and consequently the characters were also. I didn't particularly care. I learned about science because of SF.
Black kids are being sabotaged in school. The teachers act like being intelligent means being subservient to Authority.
A nun told me, "You will get into a good high school but you won't do well.". I had refused to be a patrol boy after she was on my ass about it for two weeks.
Two Black kids paid me $100 each to take their SATs after making fun of me for 3 years in high school. We have to get out of school eventually and the rubber is going to hit the road or the road is going to hit your face.

When can we get pass the mindset of calling our own race black 🤔
We don’t care bruh 🤷🏾♂️ Yall old ppl had Yall turn step aside and watch the younger generation bring this wicked country to its knees. We didn’t create what the world see today they did.
I’m really hoping you’re right. It’s worse than you think.
The exact same thing every younger generation before you said. In 30 years, your kids will say the same thing about you.
Young bro we're not that old either. At 30 we didn't create this world either. Baby boomers have more influence on the world than Gen X and Millennials.
Man you must be a teenager. You do know that any generation born after Baby boomers has little impact on society today. The older generation was before our time. They didn't want to teach their sons and nephews. They wanted to compete with the younger generations and now we're all 30s and 40s with very little skills.
“Bring the country to its knees” - what are you talking about? You clearly have never once cracked open a history book 😂
Your black culture may have been trash but not mine. I had great parents. I lived in a great community. We did not feel inferior to anyone. We excelled and achieved our goals. We were raised to be part of society and pursued our own dreams.
fyi Black people no I'm not bullying but I'm saying rather than bashing you yourselves can be healing.
FBA man here
This sounds real weak lol
Then cam up and debate and prove it.
This is literally the blackest thing you could say, lmao.
What does that mean? Black culture was invented by rich Jewish men in the 1970s and emulated through movies and music.
@@mateaukalua4426 That makes zero sense. Black culture is the collection of behaviors of black people in America. Disclaiming blackness is actually very typically black.
The blackest thing he could say would be “we was kangz!” And “black men are gods!” And “black culture is the archetype” 😂. This man is in *the minority*. The majority celebrate degeneracy.
I understand you feel Black Culture is this way but what are y'all Black men and women thinking on besides calling the culture trash are y'all just ranting about the current state the condition of the Negro ones in particular of the Transatlantic descendant lineages are lost they been lost yes but rather complain about the condition of our people I pray for our people even when in this condition a Negro today is an exile because hes of Israel and the only reason why we are in the shape is because many of us are conditioned after all things captivity done to us I understand what I say is unpopular its relatable but however you have to realize God's people deviated from him thus his culture turned against him they were the light to the nations both their own and others outside of the Israelite way...
Too many mics and podcasts for dumb takes like this.
