It’s still interesting to see the hubbub generated from Jesse Jackson’s “cut his nuts off” statement in regards to Obama talking about responsibility, which helps to show that not all black people share the same viewpoints, as much as everyone likes us to think (and I mean “everyone” in a generic, non-specific fill in the blank viewpoint). But I think one thing that everyone (and I mean everyone) should agree on is that we all need to be more accountable about our actions.

And hopefully Marmot included me when she spoke of “wonderful, honorable black people”.

Shizukie on May 29th said: “I don’t stereotype black people as gangsters, actually. I stereotype them as gangsters when they walk, talk, and dress like gangsters. Sometimes you really can’t tell the difference. As for the culture, I mentioned that’s actually what I feel they need to change. Having a culture that others generally associate with criminal activity and poverty is NOT a good thing. And like you I definitely think the media influences them.”
This is of course a complex issue so I’ll play the devils advocate for a minute to encourage deeper thought. A few questions: what do gangsters walk, talk, and dress like? Is there such a thing? Don’t some where suits and ties (mobbsters)? Could George W. Bush be considered a gangster? (oh, but he doesn’t where baggy clothes???) I think the media is influencing more than them, it’s also obviously influencing you. Are you advocating that they change their culture because “others” see it as this or that? Who gave these “others” the right and power to make these assumptions? There must be a stronger reason why a group would have a desire to change than because others don’t like it. Who decides what’s good or bad? Is the “others” group deciding for everyone or does all groups have an equal right and vote to that decision?
I like the conversation everyone is having here, it’s engaging. I’d like to invite all of you to join me on my blog as well: matthewross35.wordpress.com
Click on the tag colorblind; I’d like to get more thoughts on how circumstances influence behavior. Thanks in advance!

i didn’t put up a post on the first topic is because i really didn’t see it as a form of escapism. i started watching anime when i was 10 or 11 because i found things like tom and jerry and looney tunes never changes their story. i watched it because the stories are more age appropriate and didn’t insult my intelligence (whatever that is).

for me anyway, i appreciate anime because as i grew up and delved into the different genres, the stories grew up alongside me. not to discount american cartoons, but quite frankly, the plots and scenarios they come up with these days are no different from the ones i watched when i was little.

… XD damn… maybe i should i written a post about it.

“But should whites really have to take responsibility for blacks’ unwillingness to move forward on their own? Does that even make sense?”

My ancestors didn’t even get to America until the 1910’s, and they were isolated from other cultures and races in their respective Italian and Lithuanian communities. My parents didn’t even encounter black people until the 80s and have never been anything but upstanding and fair, so I’m not seeing how it’s our responsibility to correct the problems that the black community itself has proliferated. It’s their problem, not ours.

I’ve met several wonderful, honorable black people, and they’re all with me on the fact that if poor black people want to get out of this gangster culture, they’ve got to actually make an effort to do something with their lives instead of blaming everything on something and doing nothing about it. Everyone in this country has endless opportunities to make something of themselves, and I have no sympathy for anyone of any race who makes excuses instead of trying to get ahead. It takes hard work and determination, but that’s the same for everyone. Even the ancestors of the wealthy had to work to earn their money. And uh.. yeah :U I DON’T FEEL LIKE BEING INTELLIGENT ANYMORE RAH
