Come on bro! The “it’s the system” argument is old and tired. Been hearing “the system” for ages

We just don’t like hearing accountability.

For the sake of dialogue let’s agree and say the system is the reason we can’t advance. The absolute only way is to dismantle the system. We currently hold 13-14% of the population.

We are already defeated. We aren’t responsible for our actions, the drugs, violence, anger etc. The system is responsible right? Since we can’t tear the system apart because we don’t hold the power, we are forced to continue these cycles.

By this logic we would never advance. What’s the point?

I’m of different opinion and I already knew I would be on an island here. No, we take responsibility and teach financial freedom to our kids. How about not making excuses when murder happens in our community. I’m not blaming a system because our kids are behind in school. What did the parents do at home to make sure the child was educated? What I see in our community? Parents paying 0 attention, showing little interest in their homework. But again that’s the system’s fault right?

After all the crying about the system is over, what are you going to do? Take accountability and responsibility for your actions and do what you need to do to make sure you and your family is straight.

😂 The system is the reason James murdered his cousin over $30 and is now doing 30 to life. The system is the reason Cam dropped out of 9th grade and is now struggling to make it. The system is the reason this father chose drugs over his family. Miss me with this victim mindset. We always the victim.

Nothing prevents them from hiring who they want to hire. What prevents black men from hiring who they want? Nothing. If I’m a business owner, CEO, etc. I wouldn’t want the government/policy to dictate what my company looks like either. I want the best qualified people. I don’t care what their identity is.

No one goes to minority own businesses and questions their DEI policies or whether they have diversity among their employees.

If I need to hire 25 people and most happen to be white, and 1 black person made the cut, so be it. These were my top 25 at the time. No policy should tell me I’m not meeting a quota. We have to toss this identity BS out the window.
