As a 18 almost 19 year old black male I have to say that what is holding black america back is....
(drum roll)
black america itself
What a thought, huh? Like someone mentioned earlier, (I forgot now) they are looking for someone to "save" them from the "bad" government. Sorry, but it isn't going to happen. We need to save ourselves, no one is going to do it for us. No one (black or white) seems to want to put the effort it takes to succeed or do the right thing thus creating the many scapegoats that have came about ("The white man is keeping me down" or "Video games made my children into killers", etc.) No one person - no matter how ignorant they act - can bring down an entire race.
I know this post is just all over and reads like a jumbled mess, I just feel that hip hop is not the reason why black america is held back, but a symbol thereof.
