They all have one thing in common, absent or deadbeat father. Black people, the gays aren't your problem, deadbeat black fathers are causing our problems.
It's not just white people who frame it as us vs. them. But many black activists use the same divisive language.
Why is there a belief in certain communities that doing well in school and speaking properly is "acting white"?
That is a major issue.
And, honestly, I used to believe that America was heading in the right direction. But after these past several years, I don't think it's possible to get beyond the past. Whether it was sabotaged intentionally by the elitists to destroy a potential reconciliation or popular culture took a nosedive. I don't expect things to improve any time soon.
Glen, you are correct. Now tell US how white people can help without being vilified as "white saviors?"
Voting for President Joe Biden
Follow the Scott Adams rule.
This can't be fixed. This is as good as it gets.
I love Glen but it’s a lot more complicated than that.
These pockets of degeneracy are more like home grown cancers than an external infection.
A lot of the degenerate downfall of black America is the result of adopted prison culture starting in the 80’s. As men who’d been sent to prison (often unjustly), successfully adapted to inhuman barbarism of prison culture were then released back into their communities without any psychological rehabilitation or opportunity for healing the damage that prison inflicted. And those men frequently became role models for the young males in their communities, who decided to emulate their psychology.
Then we have the influence of rap music which has been largely influenced by rich white record executives.
But as true as all that is, the black community chose to buy into and fully embrace the degeneracy.
It’s no different than how the Republican Party has embraced Trumpism and now peddles in corrupt, mean spirited, authoritarian nastiness.
For reasons that elude me, the Republican Party decided to embrace and adopt Trump’s psychology, which is some of the worst traits a human can possess. Dick Cheney used to be the face and voice of the Republican establishment. Now his daughter Liz Cheney, who holds the same political ideology as her father, is a pariah within the Republican Party.
The civil rights leaders of the 60s and 70s would be horrified at what black America has done to itself.
"Black American" ???
I thought the preference was "African American."
But, you are right. This is an American problem. Unfortunately, the education system teaches our youth to hate America. We dwell upon our sins and completely ignore our virtues. It is so much more comfortable to lie back on our excuses than to stand up and shoulder our responsibilities.
I love glen because he always gives his unvarnished views of things. He is not afraid to call out either side. He unerstands the problems of black communnites and if people listended to him we might actually solve them.
You cannot win a war on poverty…If you donot have to too.s!? This is not a lazy people…Its was p.anned by the powers that be!? You want a miracle?!
We have no leaders to bri g mobs to the inner city. If we the generation after slavedy had gotten paid…None of this would be happening!? No G.I. BILL FOR BLACK SOLDIERS. MEANS NO HELP FOR ANYBODY!? EVERYBODY ELSE GOT PAID FOR SERVICE RENDERED!? WE DID NOT…
Our failure!? I guess when built the ships bought tickets for the slavery. You are marginalizing our life, but I donot see any lines…
Everybody ot paid?! Except us!? From the founding of this country. They hate the fk outta us!? It just so happens that its all blacks…A roll of the dice?! It was an accident…Tney did not mean for us to have a hRder row to hos?! LIKE GREEN STREET,,,They did not get reperation for what happen there!? This is fast talk but its a snow job!?
Where is that in the constitution!? We the people!? Jim Crow…Once we hit 17 trillion dollars a year!? Now they want intergration!? We are now back to 7 trillion dollars a year…Thats the only reason we are not any more segregation!? Money talks, bullshydt walks?!
Jim Crow made sure wegot nothing. WW1, WW2 we still did not get paid!? You cannot compare the the oppressor to the oppressed!? You are dreaming!? Reality is my truth!?
We have found the enemy and it is us
In fact, the enemy isn’t even the enemy. We are us
Agree with 💯 of what was said but how are “we” as Americans suppose to care…to help when the majority of blacks refuse to accept any responsibility for the complete decimation of the black communities and households across this country? It’s victim hood mentality, racism that is usually invoked not the lack of interest in education, 75% single mother households, antisocial attitudes. How can we come together as solve these problems if we can’t be honest as to what the problem is?
True Elder Glenn.
But we can not work to solve the Americans suffering until our American black ethnicity changes the emotional or thoughtless voting patterns. As the Honorable Woodson has done over a lifetime of dedicated service.
I do not believe in or trust either political faction. But we know parental school choice is necessary. Those people looking out to greater America for an empowering hand, are due nothing less. But it is an assembly of the willing on both 'sides'.
Yes, support the work of Pastor Brooks.
Truth be told i do avoid certain pockets near where i live like richmond, oakland and san francisco. The problem is too big for me.
THE EASILY ENSLAVED..?
It's a multi-answer problem.
I'm a nationalist. I think the only efforts out tax money should focus on are within our country. Schools, roads, law enforcement, and medical.
I would include inner cities and rural areas.
Except corruption is kneecapping us.
Baltimore gets a lot of federal money. Where is it going. A lot of school districts across the country owe an answer.
Not just scholastically, but for sports, band, any and all after-school activities are vitally important.
I don't believe right-wing indifference is a major hurdle.
The worst areas are democrats led cities and counties.
Texas is considered red, but Houston and Dallas are blue. The two major cities.
Amen Glenn! I ask myself again and again why why why has American leadership abandoned American citizens. We have all been abandoned and betrayed at all levels, and yes, many of us of all colors have been complicit in this abandonment and betrayal.
When a society has no activity for many young men to advance in an honest way and drugs are allowed to proliferate in our cities.When crime is not dealt with severely and without delay.When personal obligation and self responsibility is discouraged. When a young womans need to feel of value, is turned into a government subsidized experience.When education becomes a failure, when it comes to the basics of civilized communities. When there is no common vision for our American peoples. We are all left to fend for ourselves and the weaker among us gravitate to societal self destruction. Letting our manufacturing be stripped from our society and allowing self ingratiating opportunists to destroy manufacturing and to sabatoge it across the nation was and is the greatest abandonment that now has millions of people left without purpose and opportunity and many with nowhere to turn but to their own self destructive natures. This is a conversation I wish you could facilitate nationally Glenn with some of the most influential and successfull minds from all across the nation. This is what the medium of television should have been doing for years. On many issues that are holding us all back as people.
Truth it’s not a color problem it is a human problem that we need to fix! We have to show these types of people how to live by God’s word. That is what we are missing. Praise Him everyday he will never turn his back on you!
How long is this story going to be told? At some point personal responsibility has to take over.
Don't include me in you're f**** stories it's a black American story and not an American story
I mean liberals say the same shit about us about conservatives, the only difference is our states aren't in debt most of our neighborhoods are nice except for the blue counties, but you're us cuz we in our bag and y'all crabs in a bucket fuck outta here 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This goofy fool is only trying to win "votes" from conservative viewers and trolls. The last time i checked, Most black people are law-abiding citizens with normal lives and jobs. This fools need to go into any comment section and read what his target audiences are saying about people who look like him🤨
It’s definitely a black issue 😂😂😂 gtfo immigrants from other nations are poor and seek opportunities to make money decently and don’t act worse than animals. Stop depicting impoverished people as savages because blacks choose to be, that shit is racist and enabling af. 🤦🏽♀️
If it’s blacks doing it yes it’s a black problem ! Because if it was Mexicans it would be a immigration problem 🤷🏽♂️
Yep. When you look at the crime stats and you divide by race, then you do indeed see that violent crimes are caused by "an alien imposition upon an otherwise (more or less) pristine Euro-American canvas." This is just statistically true. If not for a certain group in the USA, we'd be about as violent as Finland.
I’m black , and I want to ask white people how come you guys don’t understand ? Never mind slavery. Just looking recent history can’t you guys see cause and effect ? The different factors that lead to this ? Blacks played a part in their own demise ? But how am I supposed to know better if my dad didn’t know better and his dad never was there to teach him better ? You feel me I’m ados American descendant of slave I can go back in my family tree until like my 3rd great grandma on my moms side n dats it I know nothing after that. It’s the same thing with knowledge my parents. I don’t even think racism is the real thing anymore like it’s so surface level , it’s really classism. Black people problem is the self destructive culture and etc while the American government never really intervened with the community to improve it instead just fucked it up and let it die. Like what did black people get after Jim Crow slavery sharecropping ? We got to finally integrate into white society not even 100yrs ago .. is that really the WHOLE solution, I don’t think so. I don’t blame people for believing in stereotypes and racism it just sucks that the American government was cool with it so long it apart of American history. It goes both ways black people can be better but they themselves have to make the right choice while simultaneously we need intervention and opportunities the people is lost rn but this next generation we can do better. But I’m just one man. I just wished my people saw this how America always wanted black people to be seened as
American, Indian, Russian, and German, it's all the same. There is poverty and violence all across the globe. It isn't an american problem. It's a human problem. Humanity needs to change. It starts with us, not with any government or laws.
Glen, every time I listen to you, I gain a new perspective and awakening. "They are us" wow…. this nuance must be shared widely.
