I think that our society promotes the black male as ignorant, delinquent, and immoral. Television outlets such as BET allow this perception to be further proven by the videos and programming that in which black people show little to no intelligence. And thus, we fall into the trap of not wanting to achieve and strive for anything positive. Society does not challenge the black man to be responsible, accountable, or moral (as a whole).

@mowriter same could be said about the Hispanic immigrant. But again, you are directing your ire at the WRONG person. It's not blacks who own multi-national corporations! It's not blacks who profit from making their race look bad!! Look who profits and not if they're doing it intentionally but that they are doing it as a bad thing.

Get educated and start from the ground up like the rest of us have!!! OH WAIT!! THATS RIGHT!! If your given a job at the ground level, Thats racist and its "because your black"... Quit your bitching and blaming and make something of your self!! Oh, and one more thing.... I didnt make you break the law.

There are a lot of comments blaming white people..Black people are given every advantage and more over white people in this "politically correct" society. Black only scholarships, black only colleges, equal opportunity employers. The list goes on and on. With that, I say.... If you think your being held back then do something about it!!!

@swagboi7 lol. Well, this "fake dirty white racist" pays the taxes that feed, clothe, educate, provide medical care for, give money handouts to, and incarcerate huge numbers of black men. I have every right and interest to proffer my opinion on black race matters - afterall, I'm one of the millions of Americans that pays for the continuous moral lapses of young black men.

Also... what "culture"?
