successful Black folks

[Huey]

Am I the only poster that lives around successful Blacik folks.Black folks with college degrees,hi paying jobs,their own businesses,positive thinkers.
They are all two parents of children who have graduated from high school and either attending college or are working in the "Blue collar"industry. They own their own homes,have beautiful cars and boats.They are living the American dream and fully enjoying it.These people live in Philly,NJ,Texas,in fact probably next door to some of you jealous white people.

There were plenty of them in New York, and I see a lot more here in Virginia.

One of my best friends, Harvey, has been an attorney going on 30 years now. He married Anita, a really neat white gal. Awesome kids. Anyway- I recently learned that Harvey has the cancer. Big bummer.

Plenty here in California.....Los Angeles and Orange County as well as the San Fernando Valley.

Of course some who post here would believe first that pigs can fly and the moon really is made of green cheese.

Where I live in Queens, NY, the demographics on the Black population look pretty good. Does it make me jealous? No. Why should it? What goodness does that even serve? Do you wish good or evil on people? Might want to reflect on that?

Yep, that would include my little sister who lives in Burbank, owns her own business, and has a daughter (out of wedlock) who just got an academic scholarship to a private prep school out there. I also forgot to ad my little cousin who lives out there and is a computer web design specialist for a media organization out there in Los Angeles

Good for them. There are more like them than the opposite

With all these positive answers why is it,that a small amount of disillusion Blacks get grouped with the positive thinkers?

 

[Mr Natural]

It's only the poor white trash who are afraid of poor black trash moving in next door to them.

 

[Tank]

I got one really successful black friend, but he don't like other black folks all that much.

 

[Huey]

Now I would say this thread was successful.It brought out the good in the people.

Earlier this morning, I was reading your OP and very much enjoying it, while looking forward to responding in a positive way, until I read your last sentence which was accusatory, so I moved on...

"These people live in Philly,NJ,Texas,in fact probably next door to some of you jealous white people."

You showed some true colors, there, and they turned me off....

Great point and excellent question!

 

[Lonestar_logic]

With all these positive answers why is it,that a small amount of disillusion Blacks get grouped with the positive thinkers?

Because the positive thinkers are the minority not the majority.

73 percent out of wedlock births among blacks, 45 percent of black men graduate high school, 22 percent of black males who begin a four year college graduate within six years, 7 percent of black 8th graders perform math at grade level, 69 percent of black children cannot read at grade level in the 4th grade, compared with 29% among White children, 32 percent of all suspended students are black.

What the fuck have you been smoking? Things aren't good and you shouldn't be acting like they are. Its dishonest and the problems won't go away until you stop sweeping them under the rug.

The majority of people are not positive, well behaved and successful, no matter what color you're talking about. The majority are poor and not doing so well, as always.

 

[blastoff]

The only black people I know well are as described in the OP.

In fact, they're exactly the types of folks some other blacks refer to as Uncle Toms, house nigas, Oreo cookies, and all those other lovely descriptive monikers they've come up with. Can't hardly blame them I guess. They're just sooo jealous of their much more prosperous brothers and sisters that they have to vent a bit. The fuckin' idiots!

 

[Asclepias]

There are so many positive, successful Black people its surprising to me that other races have a negative image. However, when you think about it there always has to be a boogey man. We are it by default. When the media get tired of harping on us it will go to some other minority but you better believe it will always be our turn next.

That's good to hear, it's my experience as well.

Those people are ignorant, hateful cocksuckers, LUCKILY they are in the MINORITY and NOT the MAJORITY of Black people.

It seems that all those stats are from NE states and the west.So the majority of college grads or college bound are from the North. So we know where all the jealousy lies. whites still bringing up the slavery problem,they just cant seem to get over it.They lost the civil war,and they are crying the blues.
