From my observations, the prevailing black culture is dysfunctional, self-defeating, and de-motivating in two important areas:
1) A kind of self-loathing/self-hatred/self rejection causes family relationships to be harsh and cruel, especially with their children, but also between husband and wife. The self rejection and harsh treatment growing up may have a lot to do with a lack of motivation.
2) An attitude of self-pity and resentment that someone owes them a living and if something goes wrong, why doesn’t somebody fix it for me. Obama encourages this dysfunction because it, like all dysfunction, plays very well into his dysfunctional dictatorial and totalitarian schemes and worldview. A kind of co-dependent relationship.
Both the self-loathing and self pity are mind-sets. The Right seems to avoid all encounter or discussion about the severe problems in black culture confusing confrontation of a deadly problem with “racism.” But no one is helped by ignoring a cancer. You help by dealing with it. Having a President who has and mollifies those mind sets doesn’t help.
Not all blacks are subject to this culture and many are healthy, thriving people. We’ve seen the emergence of examples of black leaders who reflect healthy values and outlook - people like Supreme Court Justice Thomas and surgeon/politician Ben Carson who the Left hates. The Left and things like BLM don’t want solutions, they want socialist tyranny and government hand-outs which stop when they run out of everyone else’s money.
I believe it’s also true that no known black (or Arab, BTW) government is free and democratic but dictatorial. Obama’s generational predispositions.
The only public figure I’ve heard talk about this political byproduct of race and national origin is Michael Savage. It, again, is a byproduct of a dysfunctional culture.
We need to get off of talking about race, and instead focus on Culture.
You cannot choose your race, you can choose your culture.
I wonder that same about the angry and hateful among Muslims . What it must be like to grow up seeing your mother, sisters, etc. treated so poorly, and even abused?
