Whatchatalkinbout Willis?
It is not the black culture that is the problem, it is society in general, Primarily liberalism. Evil will eat away at a moral society a little at a time. That is what is happening. It used to be dancing like elvis, then the sould train dancers, then R and X rated movies on TV........A little at a time. What can we try next. That wasn't so bad, so we will try something a little harsher. Don't blame any particular race. It is the nation as a whole allowing it to happen. Fix the supreme court and we may have a chance..... |

Because it is all non-traditional, etc. I agree that the new black subculture is absolute crap but lets not forget that everyone else is contributing to the decline of society. The increasing problem of meth use, the divorce rate, etc. The black culture is not the one and only downfall of society... but they do bring their own lovely blend of bullshit to the table. And for the love of God, don't confuse "black culture" with merely being black. THAT is what is going to get this thread locked. I know some folks from the carribean and Africa and they are wonderful people. - BG |

You're referring to the left and gangbanger glorification. This is different from "black culture" as that sounds misleading that only blacks are involved in it(many other races are involved along with suburban white kids with identity issues) and that all blacks are involved with that crap.
There are many upstanding blacks with high moral standards that I've met in my life and using the "black culture" label is very misleading and incorrect. |

The actual seeds of the moral decline were sown at the end of WWI when the liberals invaded the seminaries of the main line denominations. Their teachings of such heresy of 'the Bible is just a collection of good stories', 'Jesus was one of many good religious leaders', and 'the 10 Commandments really don't mean it'. The moral laxity was propogated out until the arise of humanism in the 1950/1960's and, then, the open breakdown of morality with the 'Free Love', 'Drugs are OK', and 'If it is Right for you, then it is Right' in the late 1960's& 1970s.
We are now reaping the whirl wind that was sown then. Like my grandfather said, "Sow wild oats, reap bitter weeds." Liberalism is a cancer of the heart and a disease of the rational mind. My 2¢, wganz ¶ |

We were always decadent, we wiped out an entire race of people, fullfilling are manifest destiny. Can someone tell me the difference between are manifest destiny and Hitler's Lebensraum or "living room"? |

I'd go a bit farther and call it "Urban Ghetto Culture". It is not exlusively a black thing. It is more of weird belligerent entitlement thing. Plenty of black folk subscribe to it, but a fair number of stupid white people do too. It is interesting where I don't see those kind of folks, on my morning drive to work. |

The Jews never attacked Adolf Hitler or Germany. The Jews didn't cause the extinction of the previous inhabitants of Germany. Those are the differences. And Manifest Destiny was the conquest of FOREIGN owned laned. These lands were owned by the Spanish and French. |

Look at the number of children without fathers. A majority is in Black/hispanic communities.
Think about who's selling dope on the streets? A majority is in Black communities. Who promotes violence in their music? A majority of Black artists. Violence committed by black athletes. Violence in movies like Bad Boys, Boy's in the hood, Menace to society, etc.......... Who degrades their own communities with graffiti? A majority is in Black/hispanic communities Which neigborhood are you afraid to walk in? Not the suburbs! White people aren't off the hook either. Look at WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam. White people cause their fair share of problems also. I use this only as research. U.S. Census |

How about the 'hero' worship of sports figures and Hollywood stars? IMHO, their public behavior is reprehensible and some people see it as okay, even to the point of emulating it.

I think life is just too comfortable these days. Adversity breeds strength. Comfort breeds weakness. People are caught up in their comfort food, comfort TV, comfort SUV, comfort drugs, comfort music. They just want quick self gratification. They have lost the ability to taste the sweetness of the simple core elements of a good life: family, honesty, hard work and patriotism.

I will stand FOR abortion rights to my last breath. No person can tell a woman what she can and
can not do with her body, just as no person can tell me what I can and can't do with mine. I agree with the other points, but not with this one issue. CJ |

Problem I've had with abortions is that it's been taken too far. I don't like abortions being made in the 1st trimester but I find it unacceptable beyond that. I also find partial birth abortion and 3rd trimester abortion horrible and appalling and it should be criminal. Abortions encourage irresponsible behavior and the spread of AIDs and has serious psychological affects on women. Fathers have no say in the matter either. Even if they vow to support the child alone and want complete custody. And that is horrible and disgraceful. |

I believe Abortion should be legal only if: it will harm the mother. was because of rape or incest. if the mother is under legal age. medically necessary no partial birth, this is inhumane and should be outlawed. |

Amazing. Usually I just let ignorant, stupid troll bait go by and laugh about it. I just have to comment this time because it is so rare that I encounter something so ignorant, racist, paranoid and stupid. ThreatResponse has conjured up (take your pick: President Clinton, Blacks, Mexicans "Liberals"...) himself a convenient boogie-man to blame all of our woes on. It's easy to project all out of the challenges we face as a country on one or two minorities because it allows you to distance yourself and claim that you have nothing to do with it. Let me tell you something right now- "Black Culture" as you call it (I'm just going to assume this is the only exposure you have to blacks because you are probably terrifed of them) is a response to things that blacks are going through- not a cause. "Black Culture" is about as representative of blacks as, say, "Friends" or "The Sopranos" When some stupid-ass decides to stick up a check cashing joint, it aint because he's been listening to "The Game"-it's because he's an amoral moron. Your troll bait post makes a wide, incoherrant reaching arguement that somehow joins rap music and gay marriage. Stop blaming black people for your problems- they face enough by themselves.

More of a concession than anything else. Incest could cause major birth defects. Where's the benefit in that?
Thecrusher: I have this to say; Look at every major city, where's a majority of the bad area's? Enough said. The black culture promotes all of these declining morals. I get that from looking at their leadership and the communities themselves. I know there are a majority of good moral black communities. They ignore the bad communities that is the identity of their entire race. The fact is, rather than change the bad neighborhoods they move away to a better place. They support the artists that promote filth by allowing their children to buy their immoral products. |

Don't cheat, don't lie, don't steal, keep your word, respect property rights, ... probably some others. Haven't sat down and done a complete analysis yet. I asked the question because of his line about "Not once did I use the words religion or God." You can define pretty much whatever you want as "good and moral." E.g. Your definition of "respect others" would include men who screw each other in the ass and people who use recreational drugs as long as they ensure they're not going to harm others while doing it. |

Foreign lands, the ones that hundreds of indian tribes lived on for thousands of years, are those the ones your talking about? There unique cultures were more pure, more civil then we could ever be or have ever been, we destroyed, for are manifest destiny, no different than what Hitler Nazis did or tried to do.

I don't blame "black culture" but the media for spreading decadence. Yep, between Time-Warner and any other group that promotes "crap" that passes itself off for entertainment, the news which doesn't inform but only serves to manipulate (and promote advertising), television, Hollywood and trash magazines (try looking at some women or teenager magazines and see if you don't start going nutz).
