Nugent: "The Black Problem" Could Be Solved If Blacks Put "Heart And Soul Into Being Honest" And "Law-Abiding"
Rockstar, Ted Nugent, infuriated the liberal media as well as many in the black community by suggesting that black people would do better if put their heart and soul into being honest, law abiding citizens. This is something that I personally agree with; however, it seems as a black man, you cannot agree with such a statement without being labeled sell out. For me, Nugent's statement holds very true. But then, to say this, does not fit the popular narrative that black people commit crimes because they were victimized by the white man. But does this adequately explain black on black crime? Does this adequately explain that more black people were killed at the hands of black people, than all of the police in the entire country? Many pundits within the black community have made racism the central issue that plagues the black community. For some reason, many black people would rather blame white people than to admit that many times they create their own problems. This is not to say the racism doesn't exist. Because it does. But racism is not the central issue. In reality, the black community has a far more worse problem than racism. (Nugent hinted at it in his opening statement). That is their unwillingness to take responsibility for their actions. As long as they can blame white people for their actions, they feel that they have the right to be irresponsible. This irresponsibility is reflected in their everyday way of life. From failure to comply with the orders of peace officers, to failure to pay their bills. Recently, in the news, a black woman had 15 children out of wedlock; and then blamed the American system because she felt that she had too many children. She quipped, "someone needs to pay for all of these kids." She felt that she was not responsible for her own actions. To the average black citizen, there is no greater problem than racism. Racism in the black community, has been said to be the cause of all of the maladies that affect black people. To say the most, racism is a big problem, but it only accounts for a small percentage of what ills the black community. Far more blacks are killed by blacks than by white cops. And this is to the credit of white police, given the high crime rate within black communities. Nugent was merely speaking his mind from a commonsense understanding of how personal accountability contributes to a person success. However, because Nugent was white, he was thought to be not eligible to speak to this black issue. but, shouldn't truth is truth, no matter who is speaking it? I'm willing to bet that the majority of blacks who read this post will post negative comments because they have been conditioned by the liberal media to think only as victims. However, if black people would consider their own actions, I believe that many of their issues with white people would disappear.
How about you? Do you believe that black people's central problem is racism in America?
