I've caught a lot of negative feedback for asking why it is that the positive things in the Black community don't get reported. I've written that the negative crap comes from both the "Black left" and the "Black right".
So, I'm wasting time on the internet, surfing along and I come across this piece by Joseph C. Phillips concerning Black manhood:
Instead of reporting that insight, we are treated with study after study that perpetuates the notion of Black men as "other than" as some alien, predator species unconstrained by morality, inherently anti-intellectual and violent. The stereotypes that emerge from such notions create a cultural virus that feeds on itself growing ever larger and more destructive. There is no amount of status or education that can escape the impact. If black men are as abnormal as we are constantly told, I would be wary of hiring them, would be frightened of being alone with one and certainly wouldn't want one dating my daughter.I wonder, given all this scrutiny, isn't there anything Black men do right? I mean aside from playing basketball? Perhaps Reuters will publish an article or two that proclaims most Black men are not intravenous drug users or engaging in irresponsible homosexual behavior. Why not report the discovery that the overwhelming majority of Black men 26-29 are NOT involved in the criminal justice system? How about some up close and personals with Black men that get up every morning and bust their humps to take care of their families, who play with their kids in the park and send roses to their wives? We exist and we are the rule, not the exception!
My thing is, J.C. Phillips was going to attend a conference held by Jesse Lee Peterson, who has not much good to say about Blacks.
