The African-American community has had hardships for sure but in recent times their hardships are arguably brought on by themselves. Deciding to indoctrinate and police themselves and their fellow blacks into liberalism and left leaning thoughts. Between victim mentality and identity politics that has lead to many African Americans to be radicalized into a hate of whites and police.

This was a shooting done to specifically kill white cops… Black Lives Matter disavowed this shooting but this means very little when their group is a bubble of peoples throwing hate at cops. They have also been known to have their followers believe in stories that were hoax’s like the “Hands up Don’t Shoot” chants. They generally seem to be defending literal criminals who are shot by police and spread false claims of their innocence.
In their chats and videos, the comments and even some of the things that leaders say or do demonstrates a hate for policemen. There is usually quite a few peoples calling for the death of cops in these groups and BLM leaders have been known to recently go to protests, or riots, with Antifa.
Another example of this radicalization is when blacks become conservative and try to help fix their communities they are labeled “Uncle Tom’s". They can also be ostracized with comments such as “they aren’t our black”, or anything similar that outs them from the mainstream population and alienating them. This is a big part of the cult like behavior of the Left.
As all other cults will attack publicly and shame a leaver of the cult or someone who starts to doubt the ideology they push. They make sure that everyone else in the cult will hate said person with all the leaders and big heads of the group making up stories or just making them seem like awful people.
This can be done with hit pieces from mainstream media where they take things out of context and give a sinister twist to it. An example of this would be with PewDiePie where they called him a Nazi and anti semitic. This was inaccurate and took jokes out of context to push this agenda and in turn making him lose his YouTube Red show, Scare PewDiePie, and his partnership with Disney.
The welfare state has done a very bad job in helping the community and has instead enabled them to ruin themselves. With single motherhood so high and so many kids without father’s now.
Welfare has enabled black women in particular to be single mothers and “not need no man”. This has made it very hard for them to take care of their children and also marry’s them to the government in a sense.
This causes many issues with the ones who live on welfare to be lazy and generally terrible parents. The ones who do work though and are on less welfare have to work many hours being the only provider for the house. This gives the children an amount of freedom that is dangerous for them, especially if gangs are around. With mom at work all the time they go and do what they want and don’t have a parental figure to keep them in line and teach them how to be responsible.
With the number of children born into situations such as this as shown below in this older study, the problem is rampant… Graph by Hoover Institute study

In the end the system that is suppose to help these people has enabled them to harm themselves and abandon things that work, like families. This is an easily fixable issue but it is dependent on the people to fix it themselves and stop letting the government control them. Getting married is a great way to leave poverty, with two incomes in one household they can provide more for themselves. They can also take better care of their children and teach them how to work hard; no this is not an instant fix but in this generation there will be improvement. The next generation if parented well and taught correctly will do even better than their parents!

This graph below, though older, shows how much better off Black households are with both husband and wife creating income… It’s as simple as that! Graph by the Bureau of the Census.

Crime rates of course are higher for these people due to poverty issues, this is the same issues every other country has with its impoverished peoples. This is just unfortunately not the way they should be fixing their issues, many think this is the only way or the easy way but there is always a better way.
I will not be talking about the Democrat idea that Blacks are still under attack from systematic oppression. This idea is laughable today unless you look at what I have talked about already. The Black community has been under Democratic control for years and nothing as gotten better, it’s gotten worse. Why they do not give up on the Dems is unknown to me and they should give Republicans a try. They may be prescribing tough love in their eyes but sometimes tough love is what you need, Blacks are more than capable of competing with their White counterparts.
Democrats do not think this clearly with their quotas for “diversity” or any other special privileges they give Blacks, both socially and economics wise. How the community was brainwashed into complying with their original oppressors from slave days is beyond me. The Democratic party has been against this community from the beginning and now seems to have created a guise of help that in the end destroys them.
