......I'm not sure who I'm addressing here as my
b2w GPS has started acting funny ... I could have sworn I addresseed my response comment to
bigblackbull76, yet the avatar now shows that name has changed to
AggressiveBull ... weird! Are you running some kind of stealth name or something,
bigblack76?
......Anyways, back to your response ... I can't see that my comment (socio-psychological response as you refer to it) was
any more opinionated than yours. In fact, I can produce several well written articles regarding WHY black men are not marrying their partners, or are not even settling down to
one partner commitment. I mean even the illegitimacy rate of fatherless black children hints strongly to the non-committal attitude of the black male. I doubt you could do the same with your comment that keyed this discussion. In my 40 years I've known quite a few white women,
bigblack ... I'd say as many as you, and I've been in a permanent relationship with one almost
20 years. A majority of white folks are distrustful, and many
terrified, of the young, black males,
bigblackbull76, because they know
many black males currently have a
backs against the wall attitude toward society in general. There's a shortage of black males because 1/3 of the black male population spends its entire life rotating back and forth through the judicial system ... plenty of statistical explanations written on this "black male" shortage as well.
......As far as my knowing a lot of black males, personally, well ... there you got me. I've had close friendships with black males all my life, but I can't say I've known more than a dozen or so really well. To justify my opinion to your initial comment, I don't think I need to because
there is so much material written by professionals about the issues facing black men.

@MacNfries,
Well first off on the name play, appears there was some impostor trying to impersonate me hence his name had been changed and struck-out for the record. There is nothing wrong with the system here and everything is working as designed. My name is, always has, and always will be the one and only
BigBlackBull76 - not BlackBull76, BigBlack76, or any of the others false Bulls who may try and come in my name. I am that I am and thou shalt not have any other impostors, make unto me graven images, or take my name in vain (just joking here so laugh).
Now that we've got that straight, onto the second topic at hand. What was opinionated about my response in that groups of people (so-called white, black, spanish, asian what have you) are not monolithic and can't be distilled into a simple explanation summed up in a paragraph? What the hell is black anyway? It doesn't do justification to describe how one may look and it sure as hell doesn't describe who a person is. You may see a person whom you consider black and that person can be from any of 54 countries from the continent of Africa, from a Caribbean nation, Dominican, Puerto-Rican, South American, etc. etc. and not fit any of the stereo-types you tried to apply a label to and say all of the black candy this black jar tastes like molasses. ******* it could taste like caramel, chocolate, fudge, what have you.
My point is that some people try to rationalize, over-simplify with a casual analysis and one-factor explanation for very complex multi-factored issues they have no complete comprehension nor a deep enough back-ground knowledge in.
On the well written articles you refer to, who were these written by and where do they appear? Were any of these well written articles you refer to Black professionals writing about issues in the Black community? What did they have to say about the causes of the issues and the solutions to them? Have you read the book "Understanding Black Adolescent Male Violence, Its Remediation and Prevention by Amos Wilson"? If you haven't then I recommend you add that book to the list of the other well written articles you mentioned to gain more insight into some of the issues you have addressed and try to become more of a catalyst for change.
Be part of the solution, not just part of the problem. We all know there are problems as everyone can see them and point them out. But what are the root causes of these problems and what solutions do you offer to fix them? Its not enough to fixate on the effects but every effect had a cause. Lets get into discussing about that and doing something to re mediate the problems we all can see.
Where I come from, how I was taught, and how I operate is that when you see alot of things that need to be fixed or changed around keep quiet you have nothing to complain about but some work to do. Just as much as I have dated, courted, and fucked white women whom you claim to think you know me and that your number may be somewhere as much the white women I may have known and I doubt that, but I've spent just as much time as a volunteer juvenile youth mentor for youth at risk and I still do.
I have a very intimate knowledge of the corrupt, and imbalanced criminal justice system and the names and faces of the victims of it. An imbalanced system that for 2 decades until Pres. Obama had came in to implement changes had charged a farther higher amount more jail time for the sale of a crack rock which is only 50mgs that a black person may sell or use, than the time issued for 1000grams of coke (a key/kilo) that a white person may usually have for recreational use and to sell. Another "well written" book by a "professional" that Mark Zuckerberg creator and CEO of Facebook had recommended that everyone read that discusses about this issue is the book "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness" by Michelle Alexander. Have you read that book along with the many articles and statistic compilations you cite?
And to start off with, how did the ******* get into the black communities to begin with to cause this mass incarceration of "1/3 blacks" and black male violence "that terrifies the majority of white people" as you reported? We must start there. Movies like Air America, American Gangster, The GodFather shed a little truth on how. They haven't made a movie about Narco ******* movement supported by the CIA, Noriega, Panamana, and the Nicaraguan Contras yet but the PBS Frontline series did a great job with their show titled "Guns, *******, and the CIA".
Im not talking about Conspiracy theories as I don't believe nor insinuate that it was purposely done by the CIA, but other sub-elements who worked for them carried these deeds out and the CIA/FBI stood-by to watch as ******* flooded into the black communities and did nothing to interfere especially with the CIA's cooperation with the Sicilian mafia during WWII and it was an ancillary solution to the problem that white american senior policy makers at that time believed they had with black civil unrest during the 60's and 70's. Then Reagan (who also stood-by as ******* flooded into California black communities on his watch as Governor in the 70s), and Bush declared a War on ******* in the 80's in 90's to again address the only the
effects and never the root
causes.
I can go on further, but wasting time on here talking about it won't change much and that's why I'm an action oriented person in the real world doing something real about it and not just talking here. I hope I may have reached your better conscious if there is one that is open-minded to think and look at a situation from an alternative set of lens or angle from which you are accustomed to perceive with your mind through which you view the world and people in it.
Best Regards,
The "REAL" BBB76
