Black Culture: What Happened?

In the 1950s and 60s, blacks in America were becoming more educated, and taking a stand against segregation with rational protests and boycotts. They wanted to show America that they could play by the rules, becoming upstanding and successful citizens.

Nowadays, black culture revolves around "gangsta" shit, BLM, WE WUZ history revisionism and basically "fuck whitey".

What happened? It's like they're trying to do the same thing as MLK Jr. wished but have become utterly retarded and twisted his dream into a selfish and egotistical culture where blacks should be on top, ultimately replacing one form of racism with another. How?

>what happened

Asians.

They came, started hanging around and fucking with whitey, and basically alienated blacks.

You know back then blue, jazz, rock and roll were considered the worst things on earth influencing "innocent white youth" to do sexually overt dancing, social mixing and even dating. It supposedly was linked to evil marijuana and sec before marriage.

The only reason why its accepted now was because white American grandparents "rebelled" and now that's all old people music.

The freedom riders, the lunch counter protestors, the strikes and intergrationalists were seen as tearing the fabric of America by bringing up race when everything was fine according to white southerners.

When blacks began integrating whites fled to suburbs, industry followed and once thriving inner city communities were distances away from work. I haven't even gotten into redlining but it's 3am.

Anyways history repeats itself stop being so damn fresh

COINTELPRO happened

>protests that were transgressive and controversial in the past but that I was raised to believe were good were good and rational but protests that are transgressive and controversial now are bad
really makes you think

>Nowadays, black culture revolves around "gangsta" shit, BLM, WE WUZ history revisionism and basically "fuck whitey".
None of that is new. There was a lot of stupid black activism in the '60s, history just prefers to remember MLK because he was the least aggressive to whites.

Shall I remind you of the black guerrilla or Malcolm X, even? The rhetoric hasn't changed a bit.

This is the definition of rose-tinted glasses.

Democrats and the welfare state

>blacks want equality
>white middle class, NAACP and MLK see this as ending social equality
>blacks think they can take a mile if whites are giving an inch
>blacks riot when this happens
>whites see them as wanting GIBSMEDAT
>blacks see whites as withholding equality from them
You have Watts, Chicago and tonnes of other ghetto riots back then. It's just the black unintelligensta ruining it all.
Equal employment to 'prove you're not racist' aggrevated both sides of the racial divide
TL;DR those who preached de Jude equality were ignored once that bridge was met

Its because of the rap musics

>In the 1950s and 60s, blacks in America were becoming more educated, and taking a stand against segregation with rational protests and boycotts. They wanted to show America that they could play by the rules, becoming upstanding and successful citizens.

Which has continued to this day.

>Nowadays [/pol/ memes]

wew

The CIA under Nixon and Reagan funded gangsta rap (before that rap was largely political and against criminality), gangs and distributed cheap drugs. They did this to disrupt potentially dangerous black political movements and to create more racial tension. Although to br fair, the far left co-opted black activism by that time so it's not clear if this did more harm or more good. Gangs are still better than FARC style commie guerillas.

This.

this

it's funny how OP's thoughts parallel the thoughts that lead to this mess in the first place.

CIA introduced crack to the inner cities

>What happened
Politics, gangster rap, the American war on drugs, drugs in general and the Rodney King incident
>BLM
you think that the civil right leaders would be against BLM?
>WE WUZ history revisionism
Do they? Because I'm honestly convinced that more white people believe and push for that then black people

They stopped appropriating white culture.

Crack epidemic, more or less, along with political agitation from the left that told them that their current state was fine and dandy.

>whites fled to suburbs, industry followed and once thriving inner city communities were distances away from work
wrong, it was just a shift from manufacturing to a service economy

> I haven't even gotten into redlining
don't forget to look into the part where redlining was used as an excuse to force banks to make risky loans

anti-capitalist unamerican bullshit like this contributed to the housing bubble and all the problems we have today

Don't forget political agitation from the right that told them that their current state is better then what they deserve.

They were let off their leash

Ebin here's your (you)

really I don't think it's crack as it is the reaction to it. Pure Cocaine is bad but doesn't have as much coverage or publicity of destroying the country because it's more associated with whites.

No the real reason is because they are poor. One could say it's the Blacks fault but if you even take a cursory glace of the economic practices in history towards blacks you'll learn that it's not as much the case.

Plenty of races and ethnicities have been dirt poor (and harshly discriminated against) without reaching the state black people have as a group.

The difference with black people is:

- They have been specifically targeted by the flood of cheap drugs in the 70-80s, which, sure, may have been for racist reasons (reminds me of the Godfather scene in which the mafia agrees to sell drugs only to blacks because they are animals);

- Had numbers that made it interesting to weaponize them politically by selling all the theories and ideas that would eventually culminate in BLM drivel.

Which leads to a feedback loop that gets us gangsta culture and all the shit.

FURTHER industrialisation and loss of jobs to overseas countries
Lack of family figures
Children not raised right
Any change being seen as bad or racist by either side

>Lack of family figures
Because of the war on drugs
>Children not raised right
Expand

I don't know how you could say that when it wasn't until recently that crack was treated MUCH more harshly than cocaine. There have also been frequent allegations of the CIA selling cocaine in black neighborhoods.

youtube.com/watch?v=UT5MY3C86bk

War on Drugs, rise of the welfare state and decline of the nuclear family.

Everyone forgets black community leaders were lobbying for harder penalties against crack though because it was making black ghettos unlivable.

You're making it into an us vs them thing. You can't be open to new ideas if you're automatically on the defensive. The question was about why blacks are the way they are. Part of the answer was, "they get much harder sentencing for crack." Notice how I didn't say anything about it being white people's fault-- you projected that onto it.

>hurr glorifying being a degenerate drug-addled criminal is good for black culture because it's rebellious or something

But that's nonsensical. Why should harsher sentences for crack dealers and crack users be considered a net negative for black people?

If Cletus and his hell's Angels buddies got 25 years for peddling meth I'd consider it a net positive for the Midwest not some disproportionate overreaction targeting white people.

Democrats destroyed their nuclear family and hooked the single mothers onto welfare

70% rate of fatherlessness, single parenthood linked to demonstrably worse impact on a child on most aspects of life, exacerbated by insular culture, cycle continues

There is no sense of discipline or responsibility in poor black communities

blacks were catching up and moving forward as long as the rest of the country was

currently both the black and white communities are decaying with a crumbling middle class, jobs disappearing, education failing, healthcare in the gutter, drug war, leading to incredible incarceration rates

>blacks were catching up and moving forward as long as the rest of the country was
Not in the least. Whites have it far better relative to blacks, it's not even a contest. The most violent white community in the US has a lower homicide rate than the richest black community, there's a very wide gap between Cletus being unemployed and on disability and at least having somewhat of a chance at moving up via trades and GED's vs Tyrone having almost none of that in his half abandoned shithole of a ghetto

and? Black people have been fucking each other over for a very long time.

inner-city black communities in the 70s and 80s went through what rural white communities have been going through the last 20 or so years....jobs leave, drugs flood it.

the thing poor rural whites have going for them is that people are generally fed up with the drug war.

because you're an idiot.

criminalizing an entire class of people is a terrible way to help those people.

This assumes criminals are automatically bad people. The fact is, a lot of people went to jail for relatively minor offenses and now they can't vote, it's harder to get a job and subsequent charges would only get harsher. A lot of this can simply be chocked up to being opportunistic, there's a reason they call poverty the mother of crime.

I don't understand how is sending crack dealers and skeevy crackheads who'd beat your grandmother to a pulp for five bux away for a long time an example of black people fucking over other black people?

this guy gets it.

it's a big reason they are pushing ID politics right now.

Blacks are stupid apes
Blacks turn anything they teach into savagery, they can make rap songs without cussing or hinting to their natural psychotic demeanor but NOOOO ACTING CIVILZIED IS WHITE AND SHIT.

because it criminalized, militarized and institutionalized their communities.

>criminalizing an entire class of people is a terrible way to help those people.
What entire class of people is being criminalized in this instance? Predatory drug dealers poisoning entire communities and their customers who smoked themselves retarded? Should they just keep on doing 3 day stints in county jail instead and go right back to selling crack?

Go away retard.

Crack dealers are bad people, user.

As for the others- Dura Lex, Sed Lex

>This assumes criminals are automatically bad people
Only a black person is this fucked in the head.

>When blacks began integrating whites fled to suburbs, industry followed and once thriving inner city communities were distances away from work. I haven't even gotten into redlining but it's 3am.

Only this is false, the rest is correct.

they got taller

Is George W. Bush responsible for Kanye West?

Yee, if only he had cared about black people.

b-b-but muh global economy and muh new world order!!!!!!

Kill yourself, shill.

I'm surprised no one has said Lyndon Johnson and the creation of the modern welfare state yet, before that blacks were steadily starting to rise in society after world war II, average black iq as well as income were going up until Johnson and the civil rights movement. A system was created that incentivized having kids out of wedlock which is why nowadays blacks disproportionately have the highest rates of illegitimacy, before this blacks had stronger families and higher rates of marriage than whites

>hiphop's value system is egoist to the core with some race chauvinism thrown into the mix
>Stirner gets popular among white me n mostly
>Metooism
>Complain on a Igbo chicken sacrifice ring about the very discourse you find empowering coming from a different haplogroup
>Being this stupid and hypocritical

This is the real answer.

>i don't understand the devastation that drugs actually cause in poverty ridden communities

Except black women have had the steepest decline of children out of all races and black men have the highest rates of child involvement even without being married.

>war on drugs broke the nuclear family
That's not how you spell seeing drugs and petty crime as a part of life

>criminals are automatically bad people
What excuse do you have in the current year for not abiding by the law.

Where do you start reading?

this

How are they incentivised to have kids out of wedlock

right around the point the law says it's okay to authorize use of military force against US citizens on US soil

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Military_Force_Against_Terrorists

Your beloved Bush-Obama, at work.

The better question is why anybody bothers to follow or defend a clearly tyrannical organization that spies on its own civilians, warrantless wiretaps its own civilians, suspends habeas corpus and due process - on its own civilians.

Why? Only a totalitarian could defend this.

...

>I don't understand state vs. federal government
By that logic, I can rob a store in my town and shoot the storekeeper because Trudeau lied about making Weed legal in Canada.

And what role did the Republicans have in this?

Enjoy the fruits of Democrats' labor.

"Most American white men are trained to be fags. For this reason it is no wonder their faces are weak and blank.…The average ofay [white person] thinks of the black man as potentially raping every white lady in sight. Which is true, in the sense that the black man should want to rob the white man of everything he has. But for most whites the guilt of the robbery is the guilt of rape. That is, they know in their deepest hearts that they should be robbed, and the white woman understands that only in the rape sequence is she likely to get cleanly, viciously popped."
- Amiri Baraka, born Everett LeRoi Jones, 1965

It was no better back then. The shitty stuff just didn't get canonized.

Bullshit.

As a person who lived in a urban city with TONS of blacks and asians and where "whitey" was a minority the asians were constantly victimized (robbed, burglarized, raped, and murdered) by blacks.
There is a reason there are so many pictures of asians standing on rooftops with guns. They have never been the aggressor.

>Asians have never been the aggressor.

> I like rebeliousness
> its cool my dude!
> We know better than our elders!
> Try these drugs?
> HIV was created by the CIA to stifle the sexual revolution
DR3
Nobody cares about how mean the Dems are. Blacks have voted them into office for decades now and keep voting them in despite the collapse of the black family unit. No point in arguing to change minds it doesn't work.
No pity for the drug war - Dislike the idea of going to jail for 30 years. Dont do drugs, you have free will and are an adult if you want to make money quickly and illegally you have to weigh the consequences with the benefits just like any other business venture.

> weak amerifats who are addicted to videogames are actually the VICTIMS of asians because they voluntarily throw away money and time on this shit.
Making a product that others like and buy is not "victimizing" someone - which is why drug addicts are not "victims"

WHAt do people even me by the drug war
Just people who possessed drugs being imprisoned and not just fined?

What the point of these shitty threads?
No one reads into black history but likes to pretend that they know shit.

>Blaming black poverty on welfare

How simplistic can you get. Welfare was never the problem ffs they always had very high rates of split families since forever and Blacks never had access to welfare for a really longtime.

Because I want to learn

Desegregation forced formerly blacks businesses to compete with white businesses and blacks provided the inferior service. This led to collapse of black wealth and their dependency on welfare.

Desegregation killed off a century's worth of advancement in black communities. They built a whole system during that time which was wiped clean with civil rights act.

There are entire documentories on this subject on YouTube. I learned a lot about this through one by my curiosity on how the blood and crips gangs formed which is a very complex system events that lead to their formation. The breakdown of the documentary was that post Martin Luther and civil rights movement blacks were still being treated as second class citizens(endless argument from that side I know). Even though schools were being desegaraised in cities like LA not many were moved around. On top of very poor funding towards to the black schools this created an animoisty in thre young generation post civil rights movement where education was not seen as worth the time and money so neighborhood gangs as a result start to formake. If I remember correctly they started as neighborhood watches but quickly transitioned to drug dealing and extortion as was easier source of income. You don't want to live in project housing in 1970's USA.I'll try and find the documentary in a bit imore just replying on mobile

Interesting. Source?

LBJ and the CIA.

And why does a person have to spend 30 years in jail for smoking and being in possession of a drug that's less harmful then tobacco and alcohol?

Don't forget the black panthers
>hol' up we just making sure people stick to curfew
>hol' up we just making sure you don't be shooting niggas cuz they got popped tires
>hol' up you be racist and shit for shooting at us, 2nd amendment applies to us as well

>most violent white community in the US has a lower homicide rate than the richest black community

what do you think this says about white vs black community?

user cannot understand that innocent OP just wants to learn HISTORY on a HISTORY board.

>30 years for pot
Find me someone who had a clean record before then and I'll show you a liar

In the US people actually went to jail for riding the same bus as people who had drugs on them. Blacks mostly all of them naturally. This during the glorious Clinton presidency.

1/2 of all black pregnancies in the USA end in abortion!

Liberals are literally genociding an entire generation of black people FOR FREE!

Literally justifying:
>Abortion ( black women have had the steepest decline of children out of all races)
and
>Baby Daddy culture ( black men have the highest rates of child involvement even without being married)

Just because you re-word a problem to make it seem like a feature doesn't change the fact that it is a bad influence in the culture.

Now how am I supposed to do that?

I have this if it makes a difference

Because not everything that is illegal is:
>Malum in se
The majority of things that are "Crime" are
>Malum Prohibita

Even if you disagree with the reasoning for a thing or action for being illegal doesnt mean it is not still a thing to be avoided just on the merit of its consequence

Ex. If wearing a red shirt resulted in 40 years of imprisonment I would definitely not buy and fucking redshirts and burn all of the ones I have. Principal is cool and all but you really cannot argue with judicial systems who's jobs are to follow the law and give punishments that are recommended for the action.
