im a black male ,I use to run the streets , do drugs , commit crimes , I have done time in prison and I'm a high school dropout . I'm 33 and was born and raised in Louisiana (republican state) . Things didn't change until looked at myself and realized that I was the problem it was nobody's fault but mines so I put my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and surrendered my heart , thoughts and will over to Him . First thing first I stop doing drugs , second thing I disassociated myself with the streets and anyone still in the streets, I applied for a job at McDonald's and was denied because of my criminal background at that point I could have given up but I was determined to do something better with my life I eventually landed a job that payed double what McDonald's had offered I also picked up a 2nd job and I worked and saved my money I was able to get my license reinstated I bought a new car i started building my credit up and last year I became a homeowner (if I wouldn't have saved my money I wouldn't have had the money for the down payment) I also enrolled in college and I graduate in 2 months and I'm still working 2 jobs and I'm 4 years clean , also I was paying child support that whole time . Look at how much my life turned around in the last 4 years and the government didn't assist me in anyway whatsoever . In the United States of America you are the master of your own destiny
@@Lilhajxjk274 The man has a beautiful testimony and you come on here just to say that?? Just like God is real, Satan is too, and it is Satan who lives within YOU! You should be ashame of yourself!
My grandma said The problem is that SOCIETY eliminated shame from the black community households! she said back then, shame was a good thing that made kids make better conscious decisions ❤
That's true for most of society downfall. That you shouldn't be ashamed for being lazy or overweight, that you shouldn't be ashamed for living on other peoples money when you're a grown up. Nowadays, they even trying to push it that you shouldn't even be ashamed for being a criminal that hurts other people for "entertainment".
OMG, this is so true and I have said so gor so long. Blame the modern Black church that keeps its mouth shut and collects the money, sisters, and little boys.
When my grandmother grew up in the 1950s, Blacks were well-spoken, well-dressed, and acted good overall. Now, there are a lot of street thugs and hip-hop artists with hood accents.
But yet there are a lot of sisters in the hood who prefer the " bad" boys over the good ones. They prefer the gangster types with a lot of money over the good clean shaven brothers. WHY?
@@jan22150that’s a great question. I’m blk, but I was into the “squares” back in the day. I once dated a man that went on to get his doctorate but he had a hard time finding blk women to date him. He told me they wanted bad boys. I know that some women are scared of getting picked on if the guy isn’t considered cool or hood enough. So, maybe some of it is peer pressure. Some women want a challenge, too. I never wanted that nonsense.
As bizarre as it may seem, we should have stayed segregated for another 100 years and developed our Black society based on the values your grandmother grew up with. But then came the "War on Poverty" and it's been downhill ever since...just sayin'
Even in the 1950s there were problems. There already was a single mother crisis which started with the welfare system giving money to single mothers that they wouldn’t get if married. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s the single mother rate rose from fewer than 10 percent to 20 percent. Also in the 1950s Nation of Islam was much bigger than it is today and other cultish movements and Marxist groups were very active all of which were leading blacks away from the True Gospel of Christ that got black folks through everything, toward ideologies and cults that practice identity politics and away from personal responsibility, family and church. These cults were already very active in the 1920s and they actually got started in the 1910s. So the rot and decay in the black community, the beginnings of it were already there in the 1910s and 1920s but they only afflicted minorities within the black community. They became the majority in the 1960s.
Yes absolutely I agree that rap music especially today has a lot to do with it but at what point did we have the opportunity to change the narrative! No now we have a mess we're suffering at the hands of our own culture... and lack of awareness of our culture If a culprit to not just the music is this things that are not taught anymore where is our black strong communities😮💨😪
Socialism & Communism kills more people than Capitalism ever could. AFRICA has more slavery today than EVER that is pure capitalism. Able bodied am Americans bint working or not looking for work collecting on average $55,000 on taxpayer funded ‘benefits’ per year is capitalizing off of Socialism!
These are sad times where being articulate, well-mannered and educated correlates to whiteness. Whenever black people, especially Black-Americans had ostracized me for not feeding into an obnoxious stereotype I saw it as nothing more than a compliment. I refuse to waste the free education & rights my lineage fought for plus had to endure rough conditions for centuries- for other black-Americans to criticize me for having a passion to learn is a huge disgrace. This ignorance that’s praised within the community that’s ostracized me for being authentic is a huge disgrace. I won’t stop being a goth punk, I’ll keep indulging in my geeky stuff, will speak in proper English and finish off my CS Degree because that’s what they’ve fought for, for me to express myself and to expand my knowledge. I will never stand for loud and violent degenerates
Yeah but it literally came from white people. Those teachings. Not for your own culture. Thats one of the maib problem, thinking white people are your enemy and just countering what they do. Or saying you didnt learn this moderb way from other white people, the more you live in lies then you build on those lies and you just get more stupid and possibly other things such as getting hate and frustration because you live in your own fantasy. Go google on wikipedia how many black people were actually lynched in the 200years they did it. Black people kill twice that many people every year. So. Either cope or become a succesor and just accept whatever and have respect for the truth. You were forcef to live like us and were normalized as people who knew nothing and given teachings and wisdom and when you were let loose a lot of you manifested back to what you were capable of by your own. Which would destroy the modern world around you and turn it into a mess.
When I was a young man in Vietnam in 1968-69 I was often ostracized by some of the brothers because I was accused of using "big words" and sounding like a White boy. My father insisted on proper English be spoken in his house and he wasn't fortunate to have graduated from high school but he was articulate and read book all the time. I continue to speak as I've always spoken and I refuse to change anything about the way I carry myself and I put myself through college with the GI Bill and sweeping floors, busing tables, and washing dishes into a lucrative career.
You’re speaking truth brother. We as the black community need to wake up. Government is not the answer to lift us up. It’s up to each of us as individuals by the grace and gifts God grants us to do it ourselves and as a community.
Malcolm X is a treasure not just for black people in America, but for the entire world. It is essential for everyone, including black communities, to study and learn from his life and teachings.
CMRetro, Fathers were in the home back in the lynching hey days. The children father were took from their homes. And than was found hanging out. Oh yeah, not on a corner,but HANGING from a tree.💯💁🏽
Why do most white people and even some black people have this mindset that Black homes don't have fathers, well i,m here to tell you, that is a lie, I grew up in a home with both parents and so did my children, and my friends who grew up in my community had both parents in their homes, there are many caucasians and other races who grew up without a father in the home, through it all, it is up to you, and only you to decide your future and what you want to do with your life, I know many people who grew up in a home with two parents and went the wrong way because of their own decisions, I am sick and tired of hearing this lie from the media, The CREATOR gave us all five senses, and free will to choose the wrong way or the right way.
Im white. My advise to anyone, black or white, is not to wait on help from anyone. The cavalry aint coming. You need to do what you need to do for yourself. And start tomorrow.
My youngest son without a father in his life was mentored by his 4th grade teacher’s husband he graduated in 2020 with his master’s at 23 on a full scholarship playing division 1 basketball but was determined to get his degree more so than playing ball .He has 3 degrees at age 23 and now mentors young black kids.
@@saturn722 Other races n groups dont have problem with Fatherless/Fatherhood , even if the father pass away, there are always Uncles or Grandfather n inlaws to raise the kids . Other races n group ( include Africans ) have Family value n bond , not like Blacks Americans
Wow! You have a new subscriber! You're so right. We used to be a people who walked with God and love and cared for one another. Our community indeed needs to return to God! LORD God help my people return to you in Jesus name Amen!
Black families used to be admired by non black people. Many dont know that. The black family were godly people and many today still are. Satan has been attacking black people throughout generations because you all truly carry spiritual gifts for one. God has people of every ethnicity but, something happened to me the very first time I went to an all black church who were truly devoted to God. When I was going through depression the depression lifted off of me more and more everytime I would be in the midst of black people worshiping and testifying. Satan wants to destroy from within.
@@MWah747 At one time, before The New Deal, blacks lived in communities zand were bankers, lawyers, doctors. They were doing real good, till evil welfare slipped in. A woman could not get welfare, if she was married, or had a man living with her. It was the begining of dividing the family. And right now, democrats are trying to destroy all families with a dad and mom! White or black, they are evil, and they hate God. We whites and blacks must join together, and not let them. We must come under the power of God, and we will SUCEED.
Brother, it's good to hear another black person speak the truth about the sad state of the black community and culture, which, nowadays is mostly self-inflicted. Nobody wants to address the elephant in the room. Whenever I speak about stuff like this, I get called an Uncle Tom or a house nigga. SMDH. We only want to get outraged at police brutality against black males, which we should, but when will we get outraged and fed up with the black-on-black crime and this hood mentality in our young urban blacks. It's sad!
This is such a powerful lesson! I wish more pastors would preach this way of thinking. Unfortunately even our churches are being overrun with satanic ideals and unmoral principles. I truly believe we have a spiritual problem and not a cultural one.
The Black congregations left the Bible 30 years ago. They preach a get rich gospel. A politically correct gospel, a gay gospel, a gospel of self will, a gospel of the world, a Muslim gospel.
@@solomonecclesia5253 you have stayed correctly. Most of not all caved into the get rich quick model.. but the gin does not stop there...white pastors on the same train to riches. Any church using the 501c3 incorporated model in ANY neighborhood is killing the family.
@VictorianMaid99 they only extort the weak and simple-minded. What I find intriguing is that black men are so willing to be led by their women. Many are afraid to lead their families and are happy being a kept man.
Growing up in the 60s was awesome. We were poor but communities stuck together. Came together as a unit. No one went hungry. A field needed farming, there was always help. It was a sense of family. The church and schools were our rocks. Children were taught to be respectful and help the elderly. As the 70s came in, things started to change. The culture shifted and the glue that held us together began to lose its strength. Each generation has gotten weaker and weaker. No end in sight.
This is hard for me to say but I'll say it anyway WE'RE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY,THE MINDS OF OUR PEOPLE HAVE BECOME MORE AND MORE UNGODLY,MATERIALISTIC,GREED HUNGER FOR WORLDLY POSITIONS AND LOST THEIR SPIRITUAL AND MORAL VALUES ALONG THE WAY 😰
AMEN, I am a 74 year black woman who grew up in Segregation, when I wasn't afforded as many opportunities as today, but back then we had so much pride, dignity and sense of self worth. So sad to see this happen in this day and time. What happened to black culture. "So goes the leader so goes the culture" (Simon Sinek) I must say, when I saw Barak Obama, I did not "feel a sense of pride" because I read and did my research on Obama. Every word this man speaks, is absolutely the TRUTH.🤔💯🙆🏿🤦🏿👍🏿
What? Why do black people always is looking for someone to do it for them? They think Democrats will do it for them, they think celebrities will do it for them, they think.....so on and so on. The black community needs 'free thinkers'. That means it starts with you.
Gangsta rap was a game changer. It specifically targeted the youth and made them want to personify the most base stereotype put on African Americans. From gangster rap to trap music to drill music. Entertainment, f visuals and music are powerful too
The same thing is happening here in the U.K. on a smaller scale , I see increasingly both young and old black people who have been so influenced by the negative side of black American culture that many in the U.K. not only believe the rhetoric but have fully invested in it. When I saw BLM rising up in the U.K. and some of my friends attending protests and being indoctrinated and intimidated by people with no ability to think for themselves I challenged my friends for following these people as most of my friends are also believers. It is our responsibility to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ daily, when we do this we will set Godly examples in relationships we will demonstrate integrity, being honest when we sin when we struggle and taking responsibility for our own choices and making steps to progress. I’m so tired of Christians falling for this blame culture, we must be honest with ourselves and before God
I noticed this visiting family in London lol First gen Africans think they're black Americans it's quite perplexing. Black Americans don't even rate them for it. Look at them like culture vultures who have selfhate.
Same in France. Here, blacks and arabs that live in suburbs often act this way, thinking it's all fault of French people (especially whites) and are complaining themselves in that scum attitude, thinking that speaking in a proper war, being on time and working hard is "acting white/French". I really do believe those people have an inferiority complex.
Thank you brother. I talk to my sons about this every day. What in the world has happen to Black American Citizens?. It just make me sick. No respect for one another..No, respect for them selfs. What has happen to our people behavior?
FAITH and FAMILY is all we need. This is an excellent message, right on 🎯. Black Americans are not ignorant unless they choose to be. Black Americans are in DENIAL. I was offended by Clinton, Pelosi (taking a knee) and Biden. 🛐for our communities, families, babies/children, and for an end to this EVIL.😢 this is SAD
Thank you for your message. I'm a white guy and find your message inspiring for many reasons. Society has turned away from God in many ways outside of just the black community as well.
1.) Your not white; pallid but not white. 2.) There is no nation that’s black! 3.) Christian Black Codes of 1724. 4.) Free White Person (Black’s Law Dictionary 1-5 Edition proves it!
Expensive material things(Nike,Gucci, Jewelry, Benzo's etc.) have taken over the blk community, If yo are not wearing them ,one,is looked down vpon and roasted, pretty mch, if one don't act thvg, yo ain't sht,also respect has got to be earned, why can't they preach compliance in the community when dealing with the police, nope, no accountability taken, it's always everybody elses fault, j/s
I'm with you 100%. I've been saying the same thing but they always call me an uncle tom. We blame all of our problems on the white man. When the first black person make it to the top we're not satisfied.
I 100% agree!! We need a heart change and only God can do that. It will never be accomplished by our will. The human heart is desperately wicked who can know it.
There was a time in my youth when I had fallen into the negative lifestyles that were talked about in this video. I was fortunate enough to turn my life around so I know that what this man is speaking is truth. It's funny how I would get so much push back from some people in the black community when I would share my story from a place of truth and honesty but when I was in the streets most of them could have cared less about how I was destroying my life.
Hispanic communities have those same issues. I'm seeing a resurgence of anti-intellectualism in my Hispanic community here in South Florida. People don't know the full history of their own nation of birth, muchless have any understanding of US History. So when you talk to them about these things they either change the subject or get mad at you. I'm just giving you the facts, this is actual factual articles and artifacts, documented realities, not some opinion or emotional ideology, because it feels good. I especially can't talk with Cubans (my own heritage), because they get upset, not realizing the truth of the matter is when it comes to the History of Cuban Politics.. it is a dismal and terrible story to talk about, but it needs to be acknowledge that Cuba never had luck with self governance. It was either under Spanish power, US power or communist power... it never reached to what Jose Marti wanted for his own people when he wrote his poems and later got politically involved... this idea of getting involved in your problems and solving them yourself dates back ages ago ad for good reason, so you aren't policed or controlled by outside forces. It is part of the human spirit to make it work and doing it on your own, so no one can boss you around. Being your own boss is the real American Dream. We don't have self governing people anymore. I see a lot of "Let someone else do it." As someone who overcame her disabilities and who was always overcoming everything thrown at her to oppress or limit her from success, I just hate lazy people. I always fought and do what needs to be done to get by and live as independently as I can. It is hard at times, because I see nondisable people getting by without an ounce of effort or things are given to them so easily due to nepotism or whatever outside forces that gives it all to them without them even lifting any effort or hardwork. I get disgusted by my community at times, because shouldn't it be the hard workers that get the raise and promotions, not the lazy, mediocre, has no idea what he/she is doing, oh but because he/she is so and so kid he or she gets the full time job? I try not to think about it too much, because I'll just get mad to the point of just letting that angry autistic child out and destroy civilization completely. Anyways... thank you for your video. It has a lot of great points and talks about the actual issues of the black community, but at the same time it also talks about the issues within the Hispanic community as well. Thank you.
A black friend of mine makes the excuse of black folks not having a drivers license when they vote. I asked her how can a person buy an airplane ticket or buy alcohol without an ID? She still makes excuses. There are mobile ID places in some states. You can take an Uber or public transportation to go to the DMV.
The issue is, nobody wants to take responsibility for its own actions. Its all this shift blaming on other to make oneself feel better. (Pride is blinding) The hardest sin to spot is inself. The Gospel will help heal the heart of all people.
@@bea2790 just read all of 28…… (shaking) …… God truly means business. Black people need to turn back to God. Enough with all this health and wealth…… Enough with all the BLM….. We need to forgive and move on!
You never lied! Thats why i told my wife my son will not be integrated in this new age black culture. He will come up on how the old black culture will be …
I respect your views my brotha! So can you give me advice and suggestions tips on how I can go about living that way? I’m 20 years of age in college but I’m off social media
Well, I know what our homeschool civics and history lesson will be this week! GREAT AND TRUTHFUL video! Abandoned wife resulting in a single mother of 4 black boys who refuses to allow my boys be victims and that is why I sacrifice to homeschool my children! Be blessed!
You said what other people don't want say or is blind to the fact 💯 you are tell the truth 💯 I feel the same way. Thank you for this video it need to be seen by all black peoples stay bless
They say it they said behind closed doors. These black leaders athlete celebrities. They say one thing in front of the camera but they say these exact same things behind closed doors.
This is so powerful and I will play this in my car every chance I get. I forwarded to my sons. As a black woman who raised 6 kids 3 boys I know first hand the challenges. I would drive an hr to drop my son at his dad even though he drove he wouldn’t pick him up I did it because I wanted him to have a relationship with his dad.
This is why we should've stayed segregated.... idc how people feel about it. Now look at us... we wanted equality when we shouldve been making our own.
I was just telling my brother this same thing yesterday.. I believe other cultures are just sitting back watching and laughing.. In essence, it makes all of us as a culture look bad..
I agree with you one thousand percent I think they are I really think they are. They're probably saying look they don't even know that their lives matter. They need somebody like b l m to tell them.
No I think white people are having an 'oh crap' moment right now. These pride festivals everywhere and they coming after the kids. We are very close to looking like Sodom and Gomorrah.
other cultures have their own issues to handle so a lot are ignorant, but yes generally speaking this is true, from those who aren’t ignorant to our culture
Thanks for addressing this as its so heart hurting to see the Black community being destroyed from within and from the outside. Thanks for sharing truth.
It probably started with African american gangs trying to protect themselves from racist then nwa became a popular gangster rap group and the rest is history. Thank God even the African American gangsters and know the bible it's just someone has to evangelize them but even then only a few people find life. My main focus is to evangelize those who practice witchcraft (because i can only preach to so many people) particularly ones that use and send devils, use powder, and poisons but perhaps someone else can evangelize them! We have to try to help them physically and spiritually and also pray for the Father to send laborers amen!
The society I grew up in had honor, dignity and respect for themselves and others. A family who had one of their members bring crime or violence to the community was genuinely embarrassed, and would publicly apologize for it. All to keep their good standing and respect of the community. Now days....Not so much.
I am born and raised in the south since 1960. I also lived up north in Milwaukee and Detroit. In the south in have personally dealt with the KKK marching in the streets and Jim crow racism. But the one thing I miss is that we had our own community where everybody looked out for each other. But once we integrated, all our businesses ceased to exist. We once had stores on every corner, we had laundry mats, Barber shops and our own restaurants. We even had our own medical facility in my small southern town. Once we integrated with whites we lost our community for the sake of going to all white schools. I went to all black schools and when we integrated, I made straight A's with the white kids. Then the black kids turned against me because they said I was trying to be white. What does being smart have to do with being black or white. I had to dumb down just to be able to ride the bus with blak kids and when my grades fell off, my mom made me walk to and from school 3 miles across town. There is a lot I can say, even when I was in the military and top of my unit wit distinction, the black solders would not spend any time with me. This is still a problem when my kids were growing up. Blacks who dont want to excel and work hard to get the benefits of our great country turn against the blacks that do and we are divided. Like i said there is a lot I want to say. Now we got Hebrew Isrealites trying to preach that we are Jews. Who the hell want to be a Jew? They have been persecuted far more than ordinary black African Americans.
I in some circumstances can relate to your experience. I was born in the South, but I lived in Fort Liberty (formerly Bragg). I watched my dad and uncles struggle and succeed in the service. I didn't see racism because I lived in a protected environment, but upon deploying to NAM multiple times, we lived in my dad's hometown of Philadelphia where I witnessed the attitudes of poor blacks who lived in the projects and Blacks who were members of the working class. Yes and everybody knew my dad and they recognized me and held me accountable. I had the chance to live overseas as well and interact with Whites again. I experience racism from Chinese who copied the attitudes of many Whites stationed in Taiwan. In Philly, I saw a lot of "Polarization and upon return to Fort Liberty because many people in the service are from the South and those old ideas are hard to shake, especially for ones who haven't experienced extensive combat. I believed that being older, my perspective changed and things were more noticeable. I joined the services and experienced self-hatred from Blacks, because I was a little to White for them and I experienced racism from Whites, because I was too Black for them. The same thing happened when I attended an HBCU before going active duty in the Marines and Special Operations. As Black service members we do catch Hell from both directions, which is wrong and I try to correct it, when I see it. However this brother is foul, because he is ill-equipped to speak on Black Consciousness. He is either ill-equipped or unwilling to unpack the entire truth and facts. Please feel free to ignore my comments or tell me why you disagree or agree. I try to peruse comments and reach out to where I feel I share like experiences.
@@smartchristians I thought that this was the "Smart Christian Channel?" If so, what's the spiritual and Biblical background to what's happening to the black community and world at large. When does "the love of money being the root to all evil," like the evil that's perpetuates many issues discussed in this video? Using laws abusively to increase prison money is not just evil but it's tyrannical, reminiscent to Egypt or Rome in the Bible. Furthermore, the stratification of resources is a form of stronghold because it's meant to oppress growth for poor and enhance wealth for rich.. When does the prophetic word of God which states that society will get worse in these last days find conclusion in this conversation? Why do we think that we can change Biblical prophesy with human hand? When does gaining this world but losing your soul find context in this conversation as it pertains to "success?" The Bible does say that it does NOT profit a man to gain world but lose soul. Furthermore, when does this very scripture redefine how we measure success as "Smart Christians?" Smart Christians make connections they don't become apologist for tyrannical government. The only time that the "Prince of Peace," better known as Jesus became violent in scripture was not on the cross. It was when he went into the synagogues and saw the stratification in distributed wealth between those money changers and the poor. The synagogues were practicing financial tyranny against poor, using "House of God" to be Brood of Vipers as opposed to providing meat in the the "house of God" to feed poor. Jesus physically turned tables and wiped them out of that synagogue. My last concern with this video is regarding the negative criticism toward Caucasian family who are trying to find empathy toward African American family. This ought not be criticized but rather praised, as it's a first step toward a tender heart toward understanding another human being which is not just phenomena, but phenomenal. Let's be "Smart Christians" and use the Bible to lead our understanding about this world in which we reside at present time. If not, the devil will slaughter your self esteem, especially Black Christians because the world measures success per that dollar so the negative narrative will always fall on us lest we have Biblical perspective. If not, then the devil's interethnic bondage will discourage you. He'll turn Blacks into Demas and Whites into Judas. One left the faith because he loved the things of the world and the other traded Jesus for a dollar. The devil doesn't care about color. If he did, his favorite color would called bondage because it works well for the poor and works well for the rich etc. It's a fits all crayon. This is why it doesn't profit a man to gain world but lose soul. Smart Christian. Stick to Bible!
Brother, I love your talking points and the snippet vids you include to enhance what you are discussing. I love that the resolution came back to God and family! This is the point that it seem most talking on these subjects always try to ignore and leave out as the main resolution!
I despise ignorance in all colors. I love blk ppl but I'm sorry I can't be hanging with you if you don't respect yourself and I'm not hanging with any other race of ppl if you're racist. So, I just be chilling alone. 💕🤷
See! And you are unwittingly part of the problem! You are the racist that you say you despise. STOP looking at issues through superficial lenses and look through moral & psychological lenses. Racism is a part of the human condition as much as love, hate, indifference and all other emotions. Racism isnt like a light switch; its either on or its off! LOL Racism is an emotion that desperate people choose to identify the most with. Once you can undercut the emotion, most people logically cant remain 'racist' in the sense that you mean.
I grew up in the 60s & as kids black, white ,Irish,etc we all spoke to adults respectfully never using Cristian names but a MR ,MRS,no back chat ,.Music plays a part in some things ,you can’t beat the days of Barry white ,Diana Ross ,& so many ,many more .the men in there lovely suits ,beautiful hair styles ,I feel sorry the younger generation won’t ever have what we had until attitudes change .IT CAN BE DONE IF WE ALL PULLED TOGETHER ❤
The great Bernie Mac said it a loooong time ago..."the problem with kids today is, big momma gone". Meaning...kids are being raised by 18 year old mothers and 35 year old grandmothers, his generation was raised by a 60 year old grandmother who had much more life experience.
An extremely worthwhile message that deserves a huge audience - one I wish could be aired at the halftime of the Super Bowl. The problem with victim culture and the victim mindset is that it is so seductive. It doesn't require a hard look in the mirror or responsibility. Look, if I don't acheive everything I hope to in life, I will have to hold myself accountable to my toughest most unforgiving critic: me. But, to be a victim who is 'owed' is easy and doesn't require any kind of responsibility, and it is human nature to not want to see faults in ourselves. It's easy too to cultivate a community of victims - and don't think politicians don't know that. As Lynden B Johnson is alleged to have said while creating the modern welfare state: "We'll have those N-words voting Democrat for 200 years". Victimhood and dependency are prisons that are hard to break free from - and prisoners will often even attack those who seek to free them. I don't claim to know what the answer is - you can't force someone to be a good parent or to be a responsible human being. But, I know what the answer is NOT: supporting pandering politicians, victim culture, mass dependency, and continuing to do the same things. Anyway, well done on a valuable message.
We are our worst enemies. We are doing bad things to ourselves. The Absent of the black father and God are destroying the black community as a whole. Free stuff from the government is a life trap. Where are the black fathers? The black community is becoming more embarrassing for more negative things than positive things especially criminal acts and fatherless homes. Prayers change people. Keep praying.
Continuing massive , broad-scale multi-generational race discrimination specifically against Black Americans is one of the basic core features of the USA white supremacy based system. For this reason, Black Americans are routinely last hired, first fired and passed over in promotions. This is the basic hard reality that is continually keeping millions of Black Americans from rising even today! Most of the Black community's social pathology problems ultimately stem from continuing race discrimination.Everything else is secondary!
Porn and drugs makes the masses forget what leaders of government are doing and have done. Creating a meaningfull life when you are being hit with second hand cannabis smoke day to day in shared accomodation is a tough assignement. My own experience is that cannabis made me not care about anything else but my self and the media fixates the youth on only caring about self and self image to pursue sex.
Great video! As far as the id issue, it's true in alot of cases. There are still blk people who almost never travel outside of a two or three block radius. Growing up on the poor side of town myself, I know people who have never even THOUGHT about visiting the other side of town. That's a problematic mentality within itself. So what the people in the video were saying about the DMV and the internet, is very true in many instances. The problem as you pointed out is, that's the ONLY segment of our community that's portrayed to the world!
The rise of hip hop and rap put the nail in the coffen for our culture. Affected it in every way. With no hip hop/rap, I think it would be more black families, more black business, more black doctors and lawyers, etc. I think we would be dominate the way Jews are financially if rap/gang culture didn’t over take us over
When people like you say this, it's clear that you know nothing about Hip-Hop. Not all Hip-Hop music is about the gangsta lifestyle, gangsta rap is only a sub genre that falls under Hip-Hop. There are other forms of Hip-Hop like conscious rap and alternative Hip-Hop that doesn't promote gang activity, drug dealing etc. To paint one entire genre with the same brush and claim it 'put the nail in the coffin of our culture' is ignorant. There are tons of black doctors, lawyers, businesses etc but people like you choose to ignore them and run with the false narrative that the black community does nothing.
@@kingvega3004Oh please. The majority of popular rap music these days talks about doing drugs, have lots of sex, and killing your "opps". Don't pretend like it's otherwise
@@salj.5459 So your just gonna ignore everything that I clearly pointed out? Gangsta rap is still a sub genre, meaning it falls under Hip-Hop. Just like how conscious rap or alternative rap falls under Hip-Hop. There are tons of Hip-Hop records from the 80s/90s that mention stuff like sex but I never hear you lot say anything about that. There are just as many popular rap songs that don't promote the gangsta lifestyle, you just choose to ignore them just like other critics of Hip-Hop do. Kendrick, J Cole, Pharrell, ASAP Rocky, Childish Gambino, Kanye, Lil Yatchy, Drake, Action Bronson, Logic, Joey Badass, Amine, Travis Scott etc are mainstream and don't rap about killing opps.If you don't like gangsta rap then don't listen to it and find a Hip-Hop sub genre that isn't focused on crime.
Hi, I usually don’t comment on videos, but this is a excellent well put together video. I agree with everything you said. We need to start taking responsibility for ourselves instead of blaming everyone else and looking for handouts.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s in Florida, everyone got along; black, white, latin. Something has definitely changed where most groups just stick with their own.😢
I'm Black and never been randomly stopped by the cops while driving a nice car, when I got stopped I knew why, because I was speeding. I've always been addressed as "Mister" by the police. I've never been followed in a high end store. I can't help but notice that some Blacks who have issues with the local PD also have a history with the PD. It's easy to stay out of trouble. I came from a large family with seven siblings and yet my parents have never gone to the schools to speak with principals and teachers about our behavior nor have they gone to the police station getting us out of trouble. We knew better.
@@ny-fq5mr You shouldn't have let that slide. Unless you doing something suspicious, it it not up to security to make a judgment call as to your ability to make purchases. I would've gone to the store manager.
I have been stopped coming out a store asked to open bag and show receipts, nothing stolen, allowed to leave. Asked them after situation had already deescalated what made them stop me. Apparently I picked up sever items reached in a bag I had to compare stuff. Couldn’t tell I put things back. Only bought something small. Were they watching because I was black or because I was naively suspicious? Who knows but cooperation and knowing I did nothing wrong was key.
Truly sad that we blacks did better under oppression than we do as free citizens. Perhaps because we were group closer together. Maybe because we were forced to have a united focus. Or, maybe because we wanted something better for ourselves and we knew THEN that in order to get something better we needed to take a united front. Our children knew if they acted up or committed crimes they would either be killed or locked up in prison under horrific conditions like the "chain gang."
So we're not going to address the elephant in the room and talk about how ghetto culture became normalized by our "friends" and black people that don't fit into the box are excluded.
"They don't know how to get an I.D. or use the internet😂😂. Morgan Freeman Whoa! I never saw THAT coming! Looking at old photos of how sharp and coiffed the people were in the 1950s and prior compared to now "irritates" me. How far we've fallen. Those people had a way harder life, but so much more faith, humility, courage, integrity, grit, class and honor. They were more concerned about what was in their hearts (God) than on their backs or feet. I think our fall is because our BW have lowered their standards too much. My sister mentioned that a black business owner had to close his shutters because he was not getting any support. I'd never even heard of his business. Where's the "black book of businesses"? I threw that idea out there to Roland😒. Never got back to me on that initiative. Old fashioned faith, morals, values, integrity, standards, and honor are no longer taught at home. You're preaching to the choir brother. We need to do BETTER.
The problem is rooted in blaming cau cas ians for EVERYthing going on in their neighborhoods and their lives. The problem is lack of shame. The problem is rooted in lack of accountability. The problem is rooted in DA’s and judges not holding people accountable for their behavior, a problem pervasive in our society today. The problem is lack of fathers in the homes; children growing up fatherless.
That was a very good video and needed to be said. We have begun to make excuses for everything wrong in our community which is why we aren’t progressing
It's not that black people don't criticize their community it's that white people don't (at least the one's in power) and they refuse to hold us to the same standard
This is the end of black Americans how can things get better when this lost and useless generation is the producer of the next one embrace yourself for far worse things to come
So glad someone is not glorifying this detrimental culture blacks are proud of today..I grew up in the 70s and early 80s.....I'm a NY er....I will say this when we lost our old school southern values. Respecting elders,faith in GOD,going to church,the community looked out for each other... When the South was the south.... . people
This is your most spot on video I've watched yet. God bless you brother. This needs all of the views. Imagine the New England Patriots (to take a team that most people hate) just beat the bricks off your team, then turned around and said, "I (We) take responsibility." SMH. Yea, they take responsibility and ALL of your dignity as well. Anyone who sees this behavior as anything but insulting, is ABSOLUTELY foolish.
So true black people had a different mindset back in the days. I could remember how some little boy even in the seventies. Black people was different More dignity. And self respect
There needs to be a culture shift. It’s hard to do that but I believe videos like these that bring light into the real problems in our world is a necessary start. God bless you all
A big part of it is the norms pushed through popular culture. A lot of gang culture and stripper club culture have become mainstream. I remember my uncle told me when in the 70s, Superfly came out then everybody was Pimping and doing coke. The Gangster Rap era has caused a big part of the decline in morality in the Black community. As a former Crip myself, in the late 80s and early 90s, positive Hip Hop was pulling us out of Gang banging then it’s like the Gangster music took over and totally corrupted the community. You barely hear any positive Hip Hop being promoted these days and New York has gone full West Coast Gang banging when Public Enemy, X Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, the Jungle Brothers, Brand Nubians and many many more used to teach us about history, unity and positivity. For while it was like NY had matured out of gangs and into Hip Hop and art, now they are worse than Cali. Some of it has to be the Record Labels, marketing and promotion but our culture has gone fully backwards and it’s clear to see how the poison is being injected.
I'm a 61 year old white male and growing up my 2 best friends ever were blacks in the 2nd and 3rd grade respectively, we didn't see color, and our parents didn't teach or preach color back in the late 60s early 70s I went to their house and they came to mine, theirs one race the Human Race!! Judge a man by the content of his Character NOT the COLOR of his SKIN. Much love n peace. and NO IM NOT A WOKE WHITE MAN!!
Whilest I understand what you are saying, by saying you don't see color is akin to saying there are no blue Jays, there are no res robbins. God created the diversity within man (the richness of melanin or lack thereof or any amount in between). To not see color is to ignore God's creativity in creation. You see color, but color is not how you judge, prejudge or see a person's character.
Wow this video is amazing. Who is the young guy in Georgia that bought a school and bus? What a excellent role model for boys! And love Corey how you always tie it in with the bible! Liked and shared this video
we lost our value system, vanity, greed, and pride brought us down. thank you for putting the message out there. we basically sold our souls for immediate gratification based on the lie that we are an inferior race. the animal music and social media are driving us straight to hell. men don't wear suits to funerals, and our young beautiful women are getting cosmetic surgery because they hate themselves. our children lack the social skills needed to survive, and academia is labeled dumb. other races from other continents disrespect us and ride on our fight for civil rights. finally, im glad i was born in the 60s and raised in the 70s. we bought the lie.
im a black male ,I use to run the streets , do drugs , commit crimes , I have done time in prison and I'm a high school dropout . I'm 33 and was born and raised in Louisiana (republican state) . Things didn't change until looked at myself and realized that I was the problem it was nobody's fault but mines so I put my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and surrendered my heart , thoughts and will over to Him . First thing first I stop doing drugs , second thing I disassociated myself with the streets and anyone still in the streets, I applied for a job at McDonald's and was denied because of my criminal background at that point I could have given up but I was determined to do something better with my life I eventually landed a job that payed double what McDonald's had offered I also picked up a 2nd job and I worked and saved my money I was able to get my license reinstated I bought a new car i started building my credit up and last year I became a homeowner (if I wouldn't have saved my money I wouldn't have had the money for the down payment) I also enrolled in college and I graduate in 2 months and I'm still working 2 jobs and I'm 4 years clean , also I was paying child support that whole time . Look at how much my life turned around in the last 4 years and the government didn't assist me in anyway whatsoever . In the United States of America you are the master of your own destiny
Very inspiring, very proud of you even if I din't know you. May God bless you and keep holding unto Him.

God bless you brother.
My grandma said The problem is that SOCIETY eliminated shame from the black community households! she said back then, shame was a good thing that made kids make better conscious decisions ❤
Same with mine. My grandma used to say that too.
That's true for most of society downfall. That you shouldn't be ashamed for being lazy or overweight, that you shouldn't be ashamed for living on other peoples money when you're a grown up. Nowadays, they even trying to push it that you shouldn't even be ashamed for being a criminal that hurts other people for "entertainment".
I totally agree...without shame there is no reason to seek self respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG, this is so true and I have said so gor so long. Blame the modern Black church that keeps its mouth shut and collects the money, sisters, and little boys.
You have a n awesome grandmother ❤ That's what we need to bring back: Shame to understand what we do that is indecent we make right again.
When my grandmother grew up in the 1950s, Blacks were well-spoken, well-dressed, and acted good overall. Now, there are a lot of street thugs and hip-hop artists with hood accents.
But yet there are a lot of sisters in the hood who prefer the " bad" boys over the good ones.
They prefer the gangster types with a lot of money over the good clean shaven brothers.
WHY?
@@jan22150that’s a great question. I’m blk, but I was into the “squares” back in the day. I once dated a man that went on to get his doctorate but he had a hard time finding blk women to date him.
He told me they wanted bad boys. I know that some women are scared of getting picked on if the guy isn’t considered cool or hood enough. So, maybe some of it is peer pressure. Some women want a challenge, too. I never wanted that nonsense.
As bizarre as it may seem, we should have stayed segregated for another 100 years and developed our Black society based on the values your grandmother grew up with. But then came the "War on Poverty" and it's been downhill ever since...just sayin'
TRUE@@lyonsmt11
Even in the 1950s there were problems.
There already was a single mother crisis which started with the welfare system giving money to single mothers that they wouldn’t get if married. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s the single mother rate rose from fewer than 10 percent to 20 percent. Also in the 1950s Nation of Islam was much bigger than it is today and other cultish movements and Marxist groups were very active all of which were leading blacks away from the True Gospel of Christ that got black folks through everything, toward ideologies and cults that practice identity politics and away from personal responsibility, family and church. These cults were already very active in the 1920s and they actually got started in the 1910s.
So the rot and decay in the black community, the beginnings of it were already there in the 1910s and 1920s but they only afflicted minorities within the black community. They became the majority in the 1960s.
Hip hop, prison culture and the American media have a lot to do with glorifying bad behavior.
Yes absolutely I agree that rap music especially today has a lot to do with it but at what point did we have the opportunity to change the narrative! No now we have a mess we're suffering at the hands of our own culture... and lack of awareness of our culture If a culprit to not just the music is this things that are not taught anymore where is our black strong communities😮💨😪
I really feel like hip hop has been horrible for society the older I get.
Blame capitalism you bozos. That’s the ultimate enemy.
The Obamas only allowed their children 1 hour of television per WEEK.
Michelle’s family allowed her brother & her 1 hour of television per day.
Socialism & Communism kills more people than Capitalism ever could.
AFRICA has more slavery today than EVER that is pure capitalism.
Able bodied am Americans bint working or not looking for work collecting on average $55,000 on taxpayer funded ‘benefits’ per year is capitalizing off of Socialism!
These are sad times where being articulate, well-mannered and educated correlates to whiteness. Whenever black people, especially Black-Americans had ostracized me for not feeding into an obnoxious stereotype I saw it as nothing more than a compliment.
I refuse to waste the free education & rights my lineage fought for plus had to endure rough conditions for centuries- for other black-Americans to criticize me for having a passion to learn is a huge disgrace. This ignorance that’s praised within the community that’s ostracized me for being authentic is a huge disgrace.
I won’t stop being a goth punk, I’ll keep indulging in my geeky stuff, will speak in proper English and finish off my CS Degree because that’s what they’ve fought for, for me to express myself and to expand my knowledge. I will never stand for loud and violent degenerates
🛵 Great comment. Your first sentence shocked me with it's succinct accuracy.
I applaud this.
Yeah but it literally came from white people. Those teachings. Not for your own culture. Thats one of the maib problem, thinking white people are your enemy and just countering what they do.
Or saying you didnt learn this moderb way from other white people, the more you live in lies then you build on those lies and you just get more stupid and possibly other things such as getting hate and frustration because you live in your own fantasy.
Go google on wikipedia how many black people were actually lynched in the 200years they did it.
Black people kill twice that many people every year.
So. Either cope or become a succesor and just accept whatever and have respect for the truth.
You were forcef to live like us and were normalized as people who knew nothing and given teachings and wisdom and when you were let loose a lot of you manifested back to what you were capable of by your own.
Which would destroy the modern world around you and turn it into a mess.
I don’t understand it. It’s so ridiculous.
When I was a young man in Vietnam in 1968-69 I was often ostracized by some of the brothers because I was accused of using "big words" and sounding like a White boy. My father insisted on proper English be spoken in his house and he wasn't fortunate to have graduated from high school but he was articulate and read book all the time. I continue to speak as I've always spoken and I refuse to change anything about the way I carry myself and I put myself through college with the GI Bill and sweeping floors, busing tables, and washing dishes into a lucrative career.
Unfortunately, the ones that mostly need to hear this won't ever or will flat out refuse to listen to this type of message.
AMEN, I have lots of those in my family too. DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH 🤔💯🤦🏿👍🏿
This !!

@@littlegirllost2654that's a cult
You’re speaking truth brother. We as the black community need to wake up. Government is not the answer to lift us up. It’s up to each of us as individuals by the grace and gifts God grants us to do it ourselves and as a community.
Malcolm X is a treasure not just for black people in America, but for the entire world. It is essential for everyone, including black communities, to study and learn from his life and teachings.
So I guess it's OK for us to say YOU PEOPLE when you refer to each other as WE. Or do YOU PEOPLE look for every reason to be violent. GROW UP!
There is no community and hasn't been for 60 years.
If your reaction to slavery is the N word is okay you need to do more work than people are prepared to admit!

@@johnnyfive98151)Has black fathers missing in the home not been a thing?
2)Does that have an impact on families?
They're strong and independent. Can't tell her nothin.
Why do most white people and even some black people have this mindset that Black homes don't have fathers, well i,m here to tell you, that is a lie, I grew up in a home with both parents and so did my children, and my friends who grew up in my community had both parents in their homes, there are many caucasians and other races who grew up without a father in the home, through it all, it is up to you, and only you to decide your future and what you want to do with your life, I know many people who grew up in a home with two parents and went the wrong way because of their own decisions, I am sick and tired of hearing this lie from the media, The CREATOR gave us all five senses, and free will to choose the wrong way or the right way.

Black families used to be admired by non black people. Many dont know that. The black family were godly people and many today still are. Satan has been attacking black people throughout generations because you all truly carry spiritual gifts for one. God has people of every ethnicity but, something happened to me the very first time I went to an all black church who were truly devoted to God. When I was going through depression the depression lifted off of me more and more everytime I would be in the midst of black people worshiping and testifying. Satan wants to destroy from within.
@@MWah747 At one time, before The New Deal, blacks lived in communities zand were bankers, lawyers, doctors. They were doing real good, till evil welfare slipped in.

And right now, democrats are trying to destroy all families with a dad and mom! White or black, they are evil, and they hate God. We whites and blacks must join together, and not let them.

Brother, it's good to hear another black person speak the truth about the sad state of the black community and culture, which, nowadays is mostly self-inflicted. Nobody wants to address the elephant in the room. Whenever I speak about stuff like this, I get called an Uncle Tom or a house nigga. SMDH. We only want to get outraged at police brutality against black males, which we should, but when will we get outraged and fed up with the black-on-black crime and this hood mentality in our young urban blacks. It's sad!
This is such a powerful lesson! I wish more pastors would preach this way of thinking.
Unfortunately even our churches are being overrun with satanic ideals and unmoral principles. I truly believe we have a spiritual problem and not a cultural one.
And it's only going to get worse.
Preacher extortion of the people IS part of the problem.
The Black congregations left the Bible 30 years ago. They preach a get rich gospel. A politically correct gospel, a gay gospel, a gospel of self will, a gospel of the world, a Muslim gospel.
@@solomonecclesia5253 you have stayed correctly. Most of not all caved into the get rich quick model.. but the gin does not stop there...white pastors on the same train to riches. Any church using the 501c3 incorporated model in ANY neighborhood is killing the family.
@VictorianMaid99 they only extort the weak and simple-minded. What I find intriguing is that black men are so willing to be led by their women. Many are afraid to lead their families and are happy being a kept man.
Black woman here without excuses!
Growing up in the 60s was awesome. We were poor but communities stuck together. Came together as a unit. No one went hungry. A field needed farming, there was always help. It was a sense of family. The church and schools were our rocks. Children were taught to be respectful and help the elderly. As the 70s came in, things started to change. The culture shifted and the glue that held us together began to lose its strength. Each generation has gotten weaker and weaker. No end in sight.

The same thing is happening here in the U.K. on a smaller scale , I see increasingly both young and old black people who have been so influenced by the negative side of black American culture that many in the U.K. not only believe the rhetoric but have fully invested in it.
When I saw BLM rising up in the U.K. and some of my friends attending protests and being indoctrinated and intimidated by people with no ability to think for themselves I challenged my friends for following these people as most of my friends are also believers. It is our responsibility to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ daily, when we do this we will set Godly examples in relationships we will demonstrate integrity, being honest when we sin when we struggle and taking responsibility for our own choices and making steps to progress. I’m so tired of Christians falling for this blame culture, we must be honest with ourselves and before God

First gen Africans think they're black Americans it's quite perplexing. Black Americans don't even rate them for it. Look at them like culture vultures who have selfhate.
I've heard of that BW in the UK, beingvshot by other BM
Same in France. Here, blacks and arabs that live in suburbs often act this way, thinking it's all fault of French people (especially whites) and are complaining themselves in that scum attitude, thinking that speaking in a proper war, being on time and working hard is "acting white/French". I really do believe those people have an inferiority complex.

I'm with you 100%. I've been saying the same thing but they always call me an uncle tom. We blame all of our problems on the white man. When the first black person make it to the top we're not satisfied.
Video is 3yrs old and still accurate today 🤦🏿♂️
And will be in 20 years unfortanately. Mark my words !!
I 100% agree!! We need a heart change and only God can do that. It will never be accomplished by our will. The human heart is desperately wicked who can know it.
...who can know it, but GOD 🙏🙏🙏
Everybody doesn't believe in god.
There was a time in my youth when I had fallen into the negative lifestyles that were talked about in this video. I was fortunate enough to turn my life around so I know that what this man is speaking is truth. It's funny how I would get so much push back from some people in the black community when I would share my story from a place of truth and honesty but when I was in the streets most of them could have cared less about how I was destroying my life.
Simple... Misery loves company.
Hispanic communities have those same issues. I'm seeing a resurgence of anti-intellectualism in my Hispanic community here in South Florida. People don't know the full history of their own nation of birth, muchless have any understanding of US History. So when you talk to them about these things they either change the subject or get mad at you. I'm just giving you the facts, this is actual factual articles and artifacts, documented realities, not some opinion or emotional ideology, because it feels good. I especially can't talk with Cubans (my own heritage), because they get upset, not realizing the truth of the matter is when it comes to the History of Cuban Politics.. it is a dismal and terrible story to talk about, but it needs to be acknowledge that Cuba never had luck with self governance. It was either under Spanish power, US power or communist power... it never reached to what Jose Marti wanted for his own people when he wrote his poems and later got politically involved... this idea of getting involved in your problems and solving them yourself dates back ages ago ad for good reason, so you aren't policed or controlled by outside forces. It is part of the human spirit to make it work and doing it on your own, so no one can boss you around. Being your own boss is the real American Dream. We don't have self governing people anymore. I see a lot of "Let someone else do it." As someone who overcame her disabilities and who was always overcoming everything thrown at her to oppress or limit her from success, I just hate lazy people. I always fought and do what needs to be done to get by and live as independently as I can. It is hard at times, because I see nondisable people getting by without an ounce of effort or things are given to them so easily due to nepotism or whatever outside forces that gives it all to them without them even lifting any effort or hardwork. I get disgusted by my community at times, because shouldn't it be the hard workers that get the raise and promotions, not the lazy, mediocre, has no idea what he/she is doing, oh but because he/she is so and so kid he or she gets the full time job? I try not to think about it too much, because I'll just get mad to the point of just letting that angry autistic child out and destroy civilization completely.
Anyways... thank you for your video. It has a lot of great points and talks about the actual issues of the black community, but at the same time it also talks about the issues within the Hispanic community as well. Thank you.
But I think some of us have it worse than hispanic culture.

A black friend of mine makes the excuse of black folks not having a drivers license when they vote. I asked her how can a person buy an airplane ticket or buy alcohol without an ID? She still makes excuses. There are mobile ID places in some states. You can take an Uber or public transportation to go to the DMV.
@@mechelledesigns I have some friends that are the same way
@@1990758 Yeah, I don’t debate with her anymore. She is a lost cause. Other people have tried and given up as well.
The issue is, nobody wants to take responsibility for its own actions. Its all this shift blaming on other to make oneself feel better. (Pride is blinding) The hardest sin to spot is inself.
The Gospel will help heal the heart of all people.
This commentary is wonderful …and a long time coming!

This was difficult to watch. Why? Because it's so true. These are truths we we may not like but so desperately need to hear.
You said what other people don't want say or is blind to the fact 💯 you are tell the truth 💯 I feel the same way. Thank you for this video it need to be seen by all black peoples stay bless
They say it they said behind closed doors. These black leaders athlete celebrities. They say one thing in front of the camera but they say these exact same things behind closed doors.
This is so powerful and I will play this in my car every chance I get. I forwarded to my sons. As a black woman who raised 6 kids 3 boys I know first hand the challenges. I would drive an hr to drop my son at his dad even though he drove he wouldn’t pick him up I did it because I wanted him to have a relationship with his dad.
In the future I hope your son recognizes the wonderful thing you did for him🖤💛

I was just telling my brother this same thing yesterday.. I believe other cultures are just sitting back watching and laughing.. In essence, it makes all of us as a culture look bad..
I agree with you one thousand percent I think they are I really think they are. They're probably saying look they don't even know that their lives matter. They need somebody like b l m to tell them.
No I think white people are having an 'oh crap' moment right now. These pride festivals everywhere and they coming after the kids. We are very close to looking like Sodom and Gomorrah.
Now, with Biden as
commander in chief
All other nations are sitting back, laughing at the 🇺🇸
other cultures have their own issues to handle so a lot are ignorant, but yes generally speaking this is true, from those who aren’t ignorant to our culture
We as black people gotta better own image. If we don't who will 😔
Love you brother for speaking the truth
Thanks for addressing this as its so heart hurting to see the Black community being destroyed from within and from the outside. Thanks for sharing truth.
It probably started with African american gangs trying to protect themselves from racist then nwa became a popular gangster rap group and the rest is history. Thank God even the African American gangsters and know the bible it's just someone has to evangelize them but even then only a few people find life.
My main focus is to evangelize those who practice witchcraft (because i can only preach to so many people) particularly ones that use and send devils, use powder, and poisons but perhaps someone else can evangelize them! We have to try to help them physically and spiritually and also pray for the Father to send laborers amen!
The society I grew up in had honor, dignity and respect for themselves and others. A family who had one of their members bring crime or violence to the community was genuinely embarrassed, and would publicly apologize for it. All to keep their good standing and respect of the community. Now days....Not so much.
I am born and raised in the south since 1960. I also lived up north in Milwaukee and Detroit. In the south in have personally dealt with the KKK marching in the streets and Jim crow racism. But the one thing I miss is that we had our own community where everybody looked out for each other. But once we integrated, all our businesses ceased to exist. We once had stores on every corner, we had laundry mats, Barber shops and our own restaurants. We even had our own medical facility in my small southern town. Once we integrated with whites we lost our community for the sake of going to all white schools. I went to all black schools and when we integrated, I made straight A's with the white kids. Then the black kids turned against me because they said I was trying to be white. What does being smart have to do with being black or white. I had to dumb down just to be able to ride the bus with blak kids and when my grades fell off, my mom made me walk to and from school 3 miles across town. There is a lot I can say, even when I was in the military and top of my unit wit distinction, the black solders would not spend any time with me. This is still a problem when my kids were growing up. Blacks who dont want to excel and work hard to get the benefits of our great country turn against the blacks that do and we are divided. Like i said there is a lot I want to say. Now we got Hebrew Isrealites trying to preach that we are Jews. Who the hell want to be a Jew? They have been persecuted far more than ordinary black African Americans.
I in some circumstances can relate to your experience. I was born in the South, but I lived in Fort Liberty (formerly Bragg). I watched my dad and uncles struggle and succeed in the service. I didn't see racism because I lived in a protected environment, but upon deploying to NAM multiple times, we lived in my dad's hometown of Philadelphia where I witnessed the attitudes of poor blacks who lived in the projects and Blacks who were members of the working class. Yes and everybody knew my dad and they recognized me and held me accountable. I had the chance to live overseas as well and interact with Whites again. I experience racism from Chinese who copied the attitudes of many Whites stationed in Taiwan. In Philly, I saw a lot of "Polarization and upon return to Fort Liberty because many people in the service are from the South and those old ideas are hard to shake, especially for ones who haven't experienced extensive combat. I believed that being older, my perspective changed and things were more noticeable. I joined the services and experienced self-hatred from Blacks, because I was a little to White for them and I experienced racism from Whites, because I was too Black for them. The same thing happened when I attended an HBCU before going active duty in the Marines and Special Operations. As Black service members we do catch Hell from both directions, which is wrong and I try to correct it, when I see it. However this brother is foul, because he is ill-equipped to speak on Black Consciousness. He is either ill-equipped or unwilling to unpack the entire truth and facts. Please feel free to ignore my comments or tell me why you disagree or agree. I try to peruse comments and reach out to where I feel I share like experiences.

@@smartchristians I thought that this was the "Smart Christian Channel?" If so, what's the spiritual and Biblical background to what's happening to the black community and world at large. When does "the love of money being the root to all evil," like the evil that's perpetuates many issues discussed in this video? Using laws abusively to increase prison money is not just evil but it's tyrannical, reminiscent to Egypt or Rome in the Bible. Furthermore, the stratification of resources is a form of stronghold because it's meant to oppress growth for poor and enhance wealth for rich.. When does the prophetic word of God which states that society will get worse in these last days find conclusion in this conversation? Why do we think that we can change Biblical prophesy with human hand? When does gaining this world but losing your soul find context in this conversation as it pertains to "success?" The Bible does say that it does NOT profit a man to gain world but lose soul. Furthermore, when does this very scripture redefine how we measure success as "Smart Christians?" Smart Christians make connections they don't become apologist for tyrannical government. The only time that the "Prince of Peace," better known as Jesus became violent in scripture was not on the cross. It was when he went into the synagogues and saw the stratification in distributed wealth between those money changers and the poor. The synagogues were practicing financial tyranny against poor, using "House of God" to be Brood of Vipers as opposed to providing meat in the the "house of God" to feed poor. Jesus physically turned tables and wiped them out of that synagogue. My last concern with this video is regarding the negative criticism toward Caucasian family who are trying to find empathy toward African American family. This ought not be criticized but rather praised, as it's a first step toward a tender heart toward understanding another human being which is not just phenomena, but phenomenal.
Let's be "Smart Christians" and use the Bible to lead our understanding about this world in which we reside at present time. If not, the devil will slaughter your self esteem, especially Black Christians because the world measures success per that dollar so the negative narrative will always fall on us lest we have Biblical perspective. If not, then the devil's interethnic bondage will discourage you. He'll turn Blacks into Demas and Whites into Judas. One left the faith because he loved the things of the world and the other traded Jesus for a dollar. The devil doesn't care about color. If he did, his favorite color would called bondage because it works well for the poor and works well for the rich etc. It's a fits all crayon. This is why it doesn't profit a man to gain world but lose soul. Smart Christian. Stick to Bible!
EXCELLENT VIDEO! 👏 (With or without religious views, the content pertaining to the black community was very informative.)
Brother, I love your talking points and the snippet vids you include to enhance what you are discussing. I love that the resolution came back to God and family! This is the point that it seem most talking on these subjects always try to ignore and leave out as the main resolution!
I despise ignorance in all colors. I love blk ppl but I'm sorry I can't be hanging with you if you don't respect yourself and I'm not hanging with any other race of ppl if you're racist. So, I just be chilling alone. 💕🤷
Yup
Respect to that. S.H.A.R.P. Skinheads.Against.Racial. Prejudice.
See! And you are unwittingly part of the problem! You are the racist that you say you despise. STOP looking at issues through superficial lenses and look through moral & psychological lenses. Racism is a part of the human condition as much as love, hate, indifference and all other emotions. Racism isnt like a light switch; its either on or its off! LOL Racism is an emotion that desperate people choose to identify the most with. Once you can undercut the emotion, most people logically cant remain 'racist' in the sense that you mean.
Fax
you speak as if most white people are racist lol
I grew up in the 60s & as kids black, white ,Irish,etc we all spoke to adults respectfully never using Cristian names but a MR ,MRS,no back chat ,.Music plays a part in some things ,you can’t beat the days of Barry white ,Diana Ross ,& so many ,many more .the men in there lovely suits ,beautiful hair styles ,I feel sorry the younger generation won’t ever have what we had until attitudes change .IT CAN BE DONE IF WE ALL PULLED TOGETHER ❤
The great Bernie Mac said it a loooong time ago..."the problem with kids today is, big momma gone".
Meaning...kids are being raised by 18 year old mothers and 35 year old grandmothers, his generation was raised by a 60 year old grandmother who had much more life experience.
It wasn't just big momma, poppaw was also around.
That’s not true. Grandmothers were even younger back then. It’s the lack of MEN and FATHERS.
That Malcom X quote at 13:55 blew my mind 🤯 you should continue your work, thank you for your content
An extremely worthwhile message that deserves a huge audience - one I wish could be aired at the halftime of the Super Bowl.
The problem with victim culture and the victim mindset is that it is so seductive. It doesn't require a hard look in the mirror or responsibility. Look, if I don't acheive everything I hope to in life, I will have to hold myself accountable to my toughest most unforgiving critic: me. But, to be a victim who is 'owed' is easy and doesn't require any kind of responsibility, and it is human nature to not want to see faults in ourselves.
It's easy too to cultivate a community of victims - and don't think politicians don't know that. As Lynden B Johnson is alleged to have said while creating the modern welfare state: "We'll have those N-words voting Democrat for 200 years".
Victimhood and dependency are prisons that are hard to break free from - and prisoners will often even attack those who seek to free them. I don't claim to know what the answer is - you can't force someone to be a good parent or to be a responsible human being. But, I know what the answer is NOT: supporting pandering politicians, victim culture, mass dependency, and continuing to do the same things.
Anyway, well done on a valuable message.
YES, Get back to God and family.....God first! Start Loving your self Black people and cut out the superficial non sense....
This is spot on💯
We are our worst enemies. We are doing bad things to ourselves. The Absent of the black father and God are destroying the black community as a whole. Free stuff from the government is a life trap. Where are the black fathers? The black community is becoming more embarrassing for more negative things than positive things especially criminal acts and fatherless homes. Prayers change people. Keep praying.
Continuing massive , broad-scale multi-generational race discrimination specifically against Black Americans is one of the basic core features of the USA white supremacy based system. For this reason, Black Americans are routinely last hired, first fired and passed over in promotions. This is the basic hard reality that is continually keeping millions of Black Americans from rising even today! Most of the Black community's social pathology problems ultimately stem from continuing race discrimination.Everything else is secondary!
Father figures ain’t everything
Great point all throughout the video. I don’t know why more Blacks aren’t insulted by “woke” white people wanting to come to the rescue.
They benefit.
Because they don't have enough agency on average to be offended
You hit the spot on Black people love them some woman could not do no wrong in their eyes and that’s their problem good video brother yet again
Porn and drugs makes the masses forget what leaders of government are doing and have done. Creating a meaningfull life when you are being hit with second hand cannabis smoke day to day in shared accomodation is a tough assignement.
My own experience is that cannabis made me not care about anything else but my self and the media fixates the youth on only caring about self and self image to pursue sex.
You were so right on every point. Thank you so much
Great video! As far as the id issue, it's true in alot of cases. There are still blk people who almost never travel outside of a two or three block radius. Growing up on the poor side of town myself, I know people who have never even THOUGHT about visiting the other side of town. That's a problematic mentality within itself. So what the people in the video were saying about the DMV and the internet, is very true in many instances. The problem as you pointed out is, that's the ONLY segment of our community that's portrayed to the world!
Thank you for this truth Sir! 💯
The rise of hip hop and rap put the nail in the coffen for our culture. Affected it in every way. With no hip hop/rap, I think it would be more black families, more black business, more black doctors and lawyers, etc. I think we would be dominate the way Jews are financially if rap/gang culture didn’t over take us over
When people like you say this, it's clear that you know nothing about Hip-Hop. Not all Hip-Hop music is about the gangsta lifestyle, gangsta rap is only a sub genre that falls under Hip-Hop. There are other forms of Hip-Hop like conscious rap and alternative Hip-Hop that doesn't promote gang activity, drug dealing etc. To paint one entire genre with the same brush and claim it 'put the nail in the coffin of our culture' is ignorant. There are tons of black doctors, lawyers, businesses etc but people like you choose to ignore them and run with the false narrative that the black community does nothing.
@@kingvega3004Oh please. The majority of popular rap music these days talks about doing drugs, have lots of sex, and killing your "opps". Don't pretend like it's otherwise
@@salj.5459 So your just gonna ignore everything that I clearly pointed out? Gangsta rap is still a sub genre, meaning it falls under Hip-Hop. Just like how conscious rap or alternative rap falls under Hip-Hop. There are tons of Hip-Hop records from the 80s/90s that mention stuff like sex but I never hear you lot say anything about that. There are just as many popular rap songs that don't promote the gangsta lifestyle, you just choose to ignore them just like other critics of Hip-Hop do. Kendrick, J Cole, Pharrell, ASAP Rocky, Childish Gambino, Kanye, Lil Yatchy, Drake, Action Bronson, Logic, Joey Badass, Amine, Travis Scott etc are mainstream and don't rap about killing opps.If you don't like gangsta rap then don't listen to it and find a Hip-Hop sub genre that isn't focused on crime.

Hi, I usually don’t comment on videos, but this is a excellent well put together video. I agree with everything you said. We need to start taking responsibility for ourselves instead of blaming everyone else and looking for handouts.
It's not gonna happen because all it takes is for one white officer to shoot. A black person.
Thank you, tell it ,we need to hear this,God is speaking through you. THANKS AGAIN!
Growing up in the 70s and 80s in Florida, everyone got along; black, white, latin. Something has definitely changed where most groups just stick with their own.😢
Part of the plan. To divide.
Great video. There were a few things in the video that you enlightened me on
I'm Black and never been randomly stopped by the cops while driving a nice car, when I got stopped I knew why, because I was speeding. I've always been addressed as "Mister" by the police. I've never been followed in a high end store. I can't help but notice that some Blacks who have issues with the local PD also have a history with the PD. It's easy to stay out of trouble. I came from a large family with seven siblings and yet my parents have never gone to the schools to speak with principals and teachers about our behavior nor have they gone to the police station getting us out of trouble. We knew better.
@@ny-fq5mrcorrect! How can this type of random behavior hold down anybody, well maybe weak low self esteem over sensitive people.
I can smell the conservative bullshit!
@@ny-fq5mr You shouldn't have let that slide. Unless you doing something suspicious, it it not up to security to make a judgment call as to your ability to make purchases. I would've gone to the store manager.
You sound like Jesse Lee Peterson, s brother, wake up our of your fairy tale world.
I have been stopped coming out a store asked to open bag and show receipts, nothing stolen, allowed to leave. Asked them after situation had already deescalated what made them stop me. Apparently I picked up sever items reached in a bag I had to compare stuff. Couldn’t tell I put things back. Only bought something small. Were they watching because I was black or because I was naively suspicious? Who knows but cooperation and knowing I did nothing wrong was key.
Truly sad that we blacks did better under oppression than we do as free citizens. Perhaps because we were group closer together. Maybe because we were forced to have a united focus. Or, maybe because we wanted something better for ourselves and we knew THEN that in order to get something better we needed to take a united front. Our children knew if they acted up or committed crimes they would either be killed or locked up in prison under horrific conditions like the "chain gang."
So we're not going to address the elephant in the room and talk about how ghetto culture became normalized by our "friends" and black people that don't fit into the box are excluded.
Exactly
Ghetto culture is held up like a badge of honor these days, even folks who never grew up that way do it. It's the dumbest effing thing I've ever seen.
Touchy subject but you hit it head on. I’m glad you spoke straight forward about it
Thank you for telling it like it is! Yes, the black race needs to wake up
It's too late. The black community is doomed. Yes I am black.
"They don't know how to get an I.D. or use the internet😂😂. Morgan Freeman Whoa! I never saw THAT coming! Looking at old photos of how sharp and coiffed the people were in the 1950s and prior compared to now "irritates" me. How far we've fallen. Those people had a way harder life, but so much more faith, humility, courage, integrity, grit, class and honor. They were more concerned about what was in their hearts (God) than on their backs or feet. I think our fall is because our BW have lowered their standards too much. My sister mentioned that a black business owner had to close his shutters because he was not getting any support. I'd never even heard of his business. Where's the "black book of businesses"? I threw that idea out there to Roland😒. Never got back to me on that initiative. Old fashioned faith, morals, values, integrity, standards, and honor are no longer taught at home. You're preaching to the choir brother. We need to do BETTER.
The problem is rooted in blaming cau cas ians for EVERYthing going on in their neighborhoods and their lives. The problem is lack of shame. The problem is rooted in lack of accountability. The problem is rooted in DA’s and judges not holding people accountable for their behavior, a problem pervasive in our society today. The problem is lack of fathers in the homes; children growing up fatherless.
I love your channel. I just shared your videos with my husband. Thank you for speaking truth.
That was a very good video and needed to be said. We have begun to make excuses for everything wrong in our community which is why we aren’t progressing
True
It's not that black people don't criticize their community it's that white people don't (at least the one's in power) and they refuse to hold us to the same standard
Dueteronomy 28 tells who we are and what we need to do
Facts!
This is the end of black Americans how can things get better when this lost and useless generation is the producer of the next one embrace yourself for far worse things to come
So glad someone is not glorifying this detrimental culture blacks are proud of today..I grew up in the 70s and early 80s.....I'm a NY er....I will say this when we lost our old school southern values. Respecting elders,faith in GOD,going to church,the community looked out for each other... When the South was the south.... . people
This is your most spot on video I've watched yet. God bless you brother. This needs all of the views.
Imagine the New England Patriots (to take a team that most people hate) just beat the bricks off your team, then turned around and said, "I (We) take responsibility." SMH. Yea, they take responsibility and ALL of your dignity as well.
Anyone who sees this behavior as anything but insulting, is ABSOLUTELY foolish.
So true black people had a different mindset back in the days. I could remember how some little boy even in the seventies. Black people was different More dignity. And self respect
HIP HOP AND VIOLENCE go together like PEANUT BUTTER and JELLY
The White House and violence goes together like corn flakes and milk
There needs to be a culture shift.
It’s hard to do that but I believe videos like these that bring light into the real problems in our world is a necessary start.
God bless you all
A big part of it is the norms pushed through popular culture. A lot of gang culture and stripper club culture have become mainstream. I remember my uncle told me when in the 70s, Superfly came out then everybody was Pimping and doing coke. The Gangster Rap era has caused a big part of the decline in morality in the Black community. As a former Crip myself, in the late 80s and early 90s, positive Hip Hop was pulling us out of Gang banging then it’s like the Gangster music took over and totally corrupted the community. You barely hear any positive Hip Hop being promoted these days and New York has gone full West Coast Gang banging when Public Enemy, X Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, the Jungle Brothers, Brand Nubians and many many more used to teach us about history, unity and positivity. For while it was like NY had matured out of gangs and into Hip Hop and art, now they are worse than Cali. Some of it has to be the Record Labels, marketing and promotion but our culture has gone fully backwards and it’s clear to see how the poison is being injected.
I'm a 61 year old white male and growing up my 2 best friends ever were blacks in the 2nd and 3rd grade respectively, we didn't see color, and our parents didn't teach or preach color back in the late 60s early 70s I went to their house and they came to mine, theirs one race the Human Race!!
Judge a man by the content of his Character NOT the COLOR of his SKIN. Much love n peace. and NO IM NOT A WOKE WHITE MAN!!
Whilest I understand what you are saying, by saying you don't see color is akin to saying there are no blue Jays, there are no res robbins. God created the diversity within man (the richness of melanin or lack thereof or any amount in between). To not see color is to ignore God's creativity in creation.
You see color, but color is not how you judge, prejudge or see a person's character.
