Been dealing with my own black fatigue. I live in a neighborhood of apartments that are strictly no pets allowed. It's a $500 fine and after that you can get your lease terminated. I noticed some new neighbors moved in a little ways away from where I live, in one of these apartments. I first noticed something was off when I saw a pitbull running through the shared backyards and tall grass. An unleashed pitbull. I'm thinking, that's strange, why would someone with pets be allowed to be here, maybe they're just visitors. But the pitbull remained. I had seen it unleashed near its owners several times. The owners were a black woman, and later on, two black guys. The first time I saw the black guys they were working out in their backyard like it was a prison yard. Immediately upon these blacks moving into the area, they are already breaking the rules, quite flagrantly, and are causing me the grief of having to call the apartment company to see if they'll do anything about it. Meanwhile, I have a 10-year old, and other people around here have little kids, and no one has any pets.

It’s too bad 90% of them make the other 10% look bad.I wrestle with this, because I get angry seeing the people in some of the videos in this thread; yet I have some genuinely good black friends and neighbors—one who is a pastor with a young boy that behaves better than my own kids. I think the true difference is Christianity and a sense of being Christ-like. The black community has been robbed of that by their leaders overall, but for those that are trying to rise above it, they really have their work cut out for them and it’s unfortunate, because they should be the leaders and influencers to emulate.
I struggle with it because I've lived in the south long enough and have seen white ghetto culture that has been on par with black ghetto culture. Throw in some Mexican gang violence and it's a hot mess. We're all made in the image of God with the capability of being like Christ. I'm not willing to write off a people group because the lack of Christ in their culture is the issue.I don't understand how you can struggle with the fact that certain races are just overwhelmingly a struggle, even if you have good friends from that particular race. For some reason I always make fast friendships with Indians. I have to admit, I like them. But I would in a heartbeat sign a petition to kick them all out for the survival of my country. We live so close to civil war I can smell it, but you tell me you have an internal struggle because Jamal smiled at you once? Come on, dude.
Absolutely, they have their work cut out for them, and it can cause some of them to spiral. My friends have been accused of being white by some of their own, so it's a lot of work on their part to overcome any presuppositions as a result of the ghetto elements of their culture.It’s too bad 90% of them make the other 10% look bad.
I was dealing with a similar situation a few years ago, with a flaky ex-con neighbor and his neglected pit bull that got out and ran at my kids a few times. Talked to the neighbor about it first time, it quickly happened again, so I called animal control. This led to a few very tense months with my neighbor threatening us and me unsure what to do because sure, I could call the cops but he can get to my place in a few seconds, a lot faster than they can get to him. I'm armed but I have to go out without my wife and kids sometimes, and also I don't want to actually have to uses my guns in that way.Keep an eye on Your kid and be mentally prepared to put that dog down. If You don't carry a gun, now is a good time to start, or at least get mace spray if You can't.
I believe there’s to an extent a “trailer park” effect that nobody talks about. I think I’ve talked about this on here before. There’s nothing wrong with the subsaharan race intrinsically. A lot of African blacks and Caribbean types come here and are professionals and run businesses. I think the stats are like 70% of black Americans don’t have felonies or something. I get it 30% is a giant minority and that’s way too high.I struggle with it because I've lived in the south long enough and have seen white ghetto culture that has been on par with black ghetto culture.

Andrew Tate telling American blacks that America is the least racist country in the world, "If you think America is racist you should give Africa a try."
And then the Hodge Twins with, "Black fatigue... people are tired of black people."
"The whole world is racist except America."
- Andrew Tate
Funny you should mention that about this issue, it would probably be hard to really prove it, but you might be onto something there.I think a lot of the bad behavior comes from crummy genes thanks to Americas policies rather than simply being black.
Isn’t it amazing what a solid black family without single moms can do? If the government didn’t encourage intergenerational welfare, black Americans would be unrecognizable today as a demographic. I’m sure racism would still exist but it would look a lot more ignorant. Ghetto dysfunctional lifestyles and habits aren’t helping their case. Maybe whoever put together the “great society” in the 1960s really hated black people and wanted to ensure they never caught up.In the sunny city, there is a big presence of Christians. Churches everywhere. Single motherhood is just not as common in this second place. And its always sunny and often hot there, too. They had a lot more black people shopping at this place, and a lot less nigga moments. They're obviously happier there as a whole.
I know this is a hard sell, but just intellectually realizing and processing that white people don’t hate you and aren’t out to get you and aren’t responsible for the worlds ills is step one. If white people were that horrible they just would’ve been like, “slavery is over - resettlement time.” But they gave leg up after leg up. I think that will do way more than sunny weather.There are physiological factors that differ in people of different races, even though we are all human. That has consequences. And a lot of the black people who are mad at the world should seriously consider moving somewhere more sunny if they're not living somewhere sunny already.
