Jesse Jackson: Black investment banks not getting Blackstone IPO action

Quote from nutmeg:

Does the African American culture foster law-abiding civic responsible values, education and work ethics?

It depends on the individual family. If you were to look at the perceived culture as portrayed by the media, then the answer would be no. But there are always examples/counterexamples.
 
Quote from CaptainObvious:

My observations are, and have been made from the street level. As a child I grew up in Gary, IN. and lived near and in Chicago's southside as an adult. I lived with, went to school with, worked with blacks. I'm 55 years old so I've been aroud awhile. My youngest brother is married to a woman of color who always was, and is welcome in our family. The point...I know the difference between a black person and your average street nigger. Sadly, the majority of what's called the "black community" are street niggers, especially the males. It's been my observation that most black women, if not yet "slaved up" by male niggers, are intelligent and much more motivated than their male counterparts.
I'll leave you with a question. If you have a million "individuals" of a particular race and 700,000+ of them engage in a particular behavior would a generalization be in order?

Sorry I have no experience with Chicago just as you have no experience for where I live. So for you to generalize is silly, right? I admit I have no experience with your observations, you can certainly admit to having no experience with mine.

I don't know the percentage where generalizations can be touted as encompassing. It is a tough question.

Granted, every persons observations and opinions are limited to personal experience. It's difficult to discuss race without generalizing. Do I think every black person is a lazy, shiftless bum? No! Does the behavior of the population I have experience with have an impact on my views? Yes! I don't see how it couldn't.

a counter example doesn't prove anything except to make a statement that begins with all to be a false statement.

all arabs want to see the state of israel destroyed.there is the abdul family onjaffa street that doesn't hold this opinion. the conclusion is that arab society doesn't want to see the destruction of israel.

obviously the situation needs further examination as it is possible that arab society in general would like to see the destruction of the state if israel.

Suppose we apply the Pareto Principle. 20% of the black stereotypes apply to 80% of the black population. (Madison Avenue would begin here to advertise to a demographic) The problem becomes which 20 and which 80, Jackson, Sharpton, et. al. have their list and we have ours.

Wouldn't it be 80% of the stereotypes apply to 20% of the population?

I am not defending Jackson or Sharpton, and Pabst has a legitimate point about Jackson's protest. However, he doesn't need to say one race is comprised of gun toting killers to make his point.
 
An all too typical day in Chicago. Read the story about two innocent kids gunned down by gang drive bys.

I just wathed Da' Maya' talk about how the "parents' of these punk thugs need to get involved, which brings me back to my original point....lack of parenting in the black community is the source of the problem. These f'n thugs don't have parents. Dad is long gone and mom probably isn't even 25.
Where the fuck are Jesse and Al? Now you can bet your last buck if the cops should be so lucky as to bust the punks who did this, and if the punks happened to "fall down" on the way to the station, Jesse and Al would show up talking about civil rights violations AND the black community would support them. THAT is the f'n problem.
These punks have no civil rights! No constitutional rights! No rights to be treated as a human being at all. They forfeit those rights the second they engage is their punk ass behavior. What they deserve is to be beat to death with a tire iron. Until black leaders stand up and say just that, in no uncertain terms, the black community shall continue to self destruct. PERIOD!

The grandmother is the head of the household of many families.

A troubling concern is the average age of the African American grandmother is getting younger and younger.
