dream&hustle | What incentives are there for Black men not to work? What incentives
are there for Black men to be lazy? Or even any inner city / urban male?
We brothas can’t get food stamps, we can get free housing, we don’t
even get child tax credits so what incentives is Paul Ryan talking
about? But Paul Ryan is not who I have a problem with. The problem I’m
having with this discussion is the Black politicians and everybody who
is claiming how they so offended. Paul Ryan is holding up a “Path to
Prosperity” document – do you see any Black politicians holding up any
document on this subject matter?
I have not heard one urban economic policy proposed by any Black
politician or so-called pundit on how to find jobs and revenue for Black
men in the inner city. All I’m hearing is these same Black people are
so “offended” by Paul Ryan comments. This is the problem we see over and
over in the African-American community where our people spend too much
damn time trying to be “offended” than be offensive about solving
problems in our community. Why one of these Black politicians or pundits
couldn’t step up and proposed a real solution to Black male
unemployment in the inner city and took over the conversation? You know
why? Because we Black folks are too interested in whining about being
“victims” and whining about how offended we are when someone says
something.
