Are White people doing enough to help the Black community?

Any suggestions?

Are Black people doing all they can to help the Black community?

Why do White people have to do more than anyone else to help the Black community?
Guardian · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire Correct! The correct word should be 'Colonizers', who were not exclusively 'white people'. It should be the responsibility of all goverments to rectify these injustices of the past!
@Guardian I love how you can read my response and somehow get the opposite meaning I intended out of it. That takes real talent.

White People don't have to really do much of anything to help the Black Community except support a Free Society. That's what the Black Community really wants. Most Blacks dont want a Government Handout or any Entitlement at all.

The best answer to this question or any other question for the Black Community is to leave us alone so we can take care of ourselves and Families. The Black Community does not need White People, the Nanny-State Government, or anyone else to make decisions about what we should be able to do with our own lives, we are more than capable of doing that for ourselves. Why should we even be contemplating anything of the sort from Others who are outside our Community to begin with?!

Once we get the Woolly Mammoth without the Charm aka Big Government off our Backs, out of our Wallets, and out of our Lives; This isn’t even a question to be asked since everything else will take care of itself for the Black and Brown Community...
@LordShadowfire I call you angry because I see you fight on here constantly with people, and I can tell it's about to start with me by your condescending attitude.

@Broache73 What you say is great to hear, and I believe you, but your thinking is the exception to the rule. You are out of touch with what is really going on in the black community all over the country.
@LordShadowfire I didn't call you illogical!!! You're twisting my words!!! I said "I was trying to have a logical conversation."

I treat people the same regardless of their skin color. What else am I supposed to do?
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
well for one its not up to white people to help us, we are NOT a charity case! it is up to us to stop killing each other and destroying our communities

Since 1963 the US has spent over 66 trillion to HELP blacks. May as well flushed down toilet.
Get the gov't out of the way

it is a good question. I think we are too segregated for any help to really take hold . When you, I and anyone look for help anywhere we thiink of our community. Our neighbors, for religious people their church, school, people with shared hobbies. Some shared idenitiy.

The problem with black and non black communities ii the lack of integreation which both races share fault in and include:
1) blacks often live in black neighborhoods
2) blacks go to black churchs (and whites to to white churches)
3) blacks often go to black schools, even at the college level
4) tblacks have an black identiy for music, BBQ, and hobies that further segregates

At this level of segreation and diminished shared community it is hard to really help one another. I think slow but steady integration is a neccessary first step before we can even really seriously look at "what can whites " do to help the black community.

On a sidenote the idea of black community and cuture is awesome. They certainly gifted much of the USA (I am assuming you are American) with amazing music from disco, to motown to other types of music and dance ( I stilll love soul train tv show) to other forms of art.

But some integration, cutureally speaking is a neccessary first step before we can even really look at a question like "do white people do enough to help black people"

Does my having a child with a black guy who never gave me any child support except a box of pampers one time count as my contribution?
sladejr · 56-60, M
@Jenny1234 was it at least a full box?

J/K that is awful 😡
We've done enough already. It's up to them now.
No. The universal rights and entitlements that we agree on seem to elude the people of the global north.
@Patriot96 up and down the towns everywhere they are not free to choose because there's no socialism.
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
@Roundandroundwego ah Socialism. Yoh might want to try cuba or Venezuela. Socialism works so we.l there
@Patriot96 human rights don't apply in your country? Denialism seems so chicken hearted.

Ensure our police department officials stay tru to their job and not profile and targets black Americans just because they are black. Hold them to a higher standard, to serve and protect everyone, regardless of race. Vote to elect the good, not just the rich and powerful. It starts with us.

@Montanaman who’s us? They target statistically things not just arbitrarily stereotypes. For example they might look at white people for white supremacy.

Stop interfering. It is not the White's fault nor is it the Whites job to help the Black. Everyone is responsible for their own life and the outcome thereof.

I don't think so. Reparations should have been paid a long time ago. But it is great to see people of color thriving and growing even under a racist system fighting to keep them down.

The people who have some sort of white guilt have done enough. At the end of the day ,cold yet true, no one owes ANY community anything.
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
@EPreject if someone has white guilt, go find a slave to take care of
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
We've done more than enough for them already.
sladejr · 56-60, M
@Nitedoc I'd say 600,000+ plus Americans who died to free them is enough
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@sladejr Yes it is! And do they appreciate it? They seem to ignore the fact that we ended slavery in this country. We are one of the few nations that have done so.
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
Oh yes and have been for many years.

No, not enough.
We can never do enough, shy of inventing a time machine and going back and blowing up slave ships before they could load them.

@BohemianBoo I suppose you'd prefer we go back to the good old days before 1865?
@LordShadowfire I want to go back to 1865 BC.

@smileylovesgaming I'm sorry. Does it piss you off to see people helping the less fortunate? Does that make you angry? Because there's an organization that would like to get in touch with you.
