Blacks against Blacks

By Chamira Bennett:

Why do we fight our own kind? You don't see whites killing and fighting their own. Is it possible that this is what some whites want? For us to fight until we're extinct? We have so much anger towards each other, but should that anger be directed elsewhere? We're even being racist to our own people, calling each other offensive names.

  1. Why do we fight against our own nationality?You don't see other kinds of race killing and fighting all the time for their own.This is not possible for other people of another race to do the same thing that we do.Its unacceptable for this bad behavior for Africans Americans to be going against each other all day long.Like we have so much anger towards each other,but that anger should be directed somewhere else.We're even being racist to our own people,calling each other offensive names.For example like people calling other people niggers and immature guys calling females bitches and other hurtful things.But people choose not to change the way they act when they around their friends out in public or sometimes at home when your'e with your family.Children disobeying they mother and father by not listening to what your parents tell you.Females can also be the same way by saying hurtful things to guys but all we guys can do is either tell them to shut up or be quiet or curse at them because we can't hit them because there females.I know some guys wanna hit girls and women but we can't rules are rules.An we gotta respect the rules or suffer the consequence for rude behavior.

  2. Racism is basically hatred towards a certain race or ethnic background. Chamira went a little bit over board. The ways we as a black people treat each other can be basically summed up to one word, jealousy. Black people don’t hate each other; it’s just that they compete a lot amongst themselves which somehow causes jealousy. We as a people tend not to want to see someone else do better than us. Instead of congratulating and learning from a successful person we end up trying as hard as we can to bring that person down and unfortunately that leads to bringing ourselves down and further reducing our chances to succeed.

    To support my proclamation I take into consideration a certain individual I know. He could currently be a very successful man however this man tries to make the community envy him by just improving his outer appearance. He focuses more on the materialistic things that depreciate and less on the assets that have accumulative value. He thinks that because he “looks” rich the community will appreciate him. At the end of the day he is still jealous of the person who “appears” to have more wealth than him. Instead of thanking and praising God in appreciation for what he has, he envies and focuses a lot on what someone else has. Clearly that is a personal issue and therefore the white man is not to be blamed for such selfish and foolish acts we as a black people commit.

    White people always help each other in order to succeed. I doubt that they would not want the same for as black people. Not to criticize you Chamira, I don’t think that the white man is to be blamed for our problems. Yes of course he did contribute to the damage of the black society, however what we are as a black people doing to deal with that issue. We need to stop blaming other people for our failures. Why can’t we take blame for OUR OWN mistakes and try to solve. Mistakes are made so that they can be learned from. Allowing the white man to enslave us in Africa was a mistake. It set us back a lot. However we need to also look at the brighter page, they brought new inventions to Africa that were good to our own benefit and yes at the same time slavery was bad. The good thing is that our ancestors did learn from the mistake. A vivid a sign of that is that the majority of slavery has been abolished up to modern date.

    The other problem is that it seems like we can not forgive the white people. To forgive means to cease to blame. That is exactly what we have to do. Even the Bible tells us to do so. Once we forgive the white people we will set ourselves free from the hostility of hatred towards each other and furthermore the white people. We stop making excuses and this will improve our chances in success. Excuses are partially why most black people are inferior to white people. The white people continued with their lives after slavery, they did not look for excuses and did not blame anybody for whatever reason. So let us also continue with lives and STOP BLAIMING OTHER PEOPLE FOR OUR FAILURES (PLEASE).

    I know that I mentioned a lot of things that may seem impossible. That leads to my conclusion statement. These things may seem impossible (forgiving the white people) because we don’t have faith. We always think white people are superior to us so we don’t have faith on being as successful (if possible, more successful) as white people. STOP BLAIMING OTHERS AND HAVE FAITH ON YOURSELF.


    GOD BLESS...

  3. Some of the black and white people are being racist to each other. This happens especially here in North America. Some of the black people call each other names like the “N” word. Some white people say different things to each other. Some black people even want to start a fight with white people. The reason why people fight for their own kind, meaning why blacks fight with other blacks fight with other blacks is because some of the blacks think that white people are weak so the black people just leave them alone and just fight one another. I think this all resulted from slavery when white people use to whip their slaves back in the day (around the 1800s). Some people say that blacks do it just to get revenge but that happened a long time ago. Black people sometimes call themselves “gangsters.” Sometimes, white people act like they are black by handing around with blacks. In the United States today, there are like over one hundred gangs. I think that many whites do not care about blacks fighting each other. All whites want to do is just to stay away. Some whites like seeing us fight and some whites do not like seeing us fight. If a black person tries to start a fight with a white person, that person might fight back. Some might even run away. There are more white people living in the United States than blacks. There are some areas in Brooklyn where there are many blacks. Places like East Flatbush, Brownsville, and Canarsie. The South part of the United States have black people. Some of the states are North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia. Black and white people both have their different types of things. For example, blacks, especially boy be sagging their pants. Sometimes if they go out in the street doing that, they might get arrested by the police. White people rarely sag. Black and white people also have their own different types of music. Black might be listening to Hip-hop, R&B, or reggae while whites be listening to rock, jazz, or pop.

  5. First off I'm going to started this blog topic off by saying it's very ingorant to have hate toward your own race not matter what races you are.

    Me personally I love my people (black) But there some of us that need to get oursleves together.


    I think black people didn't just start hating each other out of the blue. Back deep during slavery the slaves 's masters use to have the slaves turn against it other. A primary example would be is light skinned slaves did'nt have to work in the fields as darked skinned slave , the slaves 's master would have the light skinned slaves work in the house instead of the feilds, this result in some dark skinned black people disliked lighter skinned black people,because they had light skinned and in some cases '' good hair'' they was treated better than dark skinned people.

    There is two types of black people.There
    civilized black people. Then there ingorant
    black people.(there ingorant set of people in other races)In my opinion ingorant black people like I said before have to GET IT TOGETHER THEY making it seem as ALL black people seem like we all our lives isabout just seating on welfare and collected food stamps(excusing those who REALLY NEED IT)have no edcuation,all about ''bling'' or any other sterotype that goes along with the black races.For us killing each other that a whole different story, but i must say that ingorant to a power to kill people i you own race.That all have to say about that.All of us is not like that.There alot of us whose the opposites of the sterotypes,alot us there strives. That
    why some of the civilized black people don't like other black people because Inogrant black people is making those black people look bad.

    I would agree with Brian that we should' nt blame the white man for our problems. Yes the white man us throught four hundred years of hell.but we should just forgive because if you don't forgive it would only gain more hate and if there more hate than it would set you back and that what I think black people people should do. Also like Brian I would agree that is going to be impossible.

    There my opinion on this week's blog topic .

    Peace.

  6. The reason why I think our own kind fight against each other is because one person might had said something disrespectful to that person mad maybe the person didn't like that maybe that can be a reason the they would fight each other. Turn into a war. Yes it may be possible for the Whites wanting that kind of playing from the Blacks. Or maybe it’s not. You are one person for their own. You don’t have to do anything somebody wants you to. If the Blacks want to fight then it’s on their own choice to do so. White does not have anything to do with it. I think the anger should be towards elsewhere so that way you wouldn’t be hurting anybody that you’re going to regret. Speaking about our own kind calling other offense. The person may be joking or playing with each other, no big deal. But if a white person would have called them out their name, they wouldn’t like it. I think all the racist activity between blacks and white is just stupid. All they are doing is hurting their selves. Who knows when people are going to grow up.

  7. Why do we fight our own kind? You don't see whites killing and fighting their own. Is it possible that this is what some whites want? For us to fight until we're extinct? We have so much anger towards each other, but should that anger be directed elsewhere? We're even being racist to our own people, calling each other offensive names.
    Why do we fight our own kind? Some people love to fight if black people want to fight their fighting at the wrong people. Say one little thing to them and they want to fight. Shouldn’t want to fight not toward your own kind anyway. If you’re trying to prove to people that you can fight don’t have to prove it to nobody.
    You don’t see whites fight their own kind? Whites know how to control their anger. Whites sit around and watch blacks fight each other and whites loving every second of it. When you go to these jails it’s filled with nothing but blacks. You’re not going to see any whites in jail like that. Whites don’t care they want us to fight until they see no more black faces.
    When blacks get mad they take it out on the wrong people. Blacks fighting blacks it’s not cool. Blacks mad at the wrong people should be mad at the people that are against us not with us. Whites just sit around and enjoy when blacks fight each other. Every time black get mad they should go somewhere and calm down.
    Blacks being racist toward each other. When curtain blacks go somewhere you got other blacks saying you don’t belong around here. Everybody should be free to go anywhere they please. Then they got this thing where blacks call each other n***** were Negros. You got blacks calling each other bad names. Names that could hurt people feeling.
    In conclusion I really think black should stop fighting their own kind because blacks is not the ones against other blacks there with them life is too short to be fighting your own kind. Black should just get along and stop fighting each other.

  8. iTs reasons why we fight and kill eachother.I see whites fight eachother thier not innocent.Some blacks really dont like it but some try to stop the violence becuase they feel its wrong.Thats why some of the civilized black people do not like other black people because Ignorant black people is making those black people look bad.we should' nt blame the white man for our problems. Yes the white man us throught four hundred years of hell.


    But we should just forgive because if you don't forgive it would only gain more hate and if there more hate than it would set you back and that what I think black people people should do.Most people blame music artist.Its not black music or hiphop its the people influenced by it aint taking it to another level.White people always help each other in order to succeed. I doubt that they would not want the same for as black people. Not to criticize you Chamira, I don’t think that the white man is to be blamed for our problems.

  9. blacks people kill each because they dont have any sense . also black people are like carbs that put each other down . instead of encourage them to tell them that they could do better . whites people talk things over . and you dont see one of them go to jail for kill one of own kind . and black person would go to jail for kill one of their own . like a regular person they would go out their and work for what they have . instead of giving lock up for selling drugs . or kill someone that took their money. their family member is thinking what happen to their family member . and they cried over dead family member and buried them.
