Black culture in the US definitely needs to change. The ideas and social behaviour that permeates through the community is not that of empowerment but rather destructive in nature.
The celebration of gang culture and violence needs to stop (this is an American thing though and not isolated to black people but black people do not need to participate in this arena).
The single parent epidemic and having kids by multiple partners needs to stop. This destroys the family unit. Men need to lead their households but in saying so, they also need to take accountability for their actions. Women need to become a lot more agreeable, respectful and less argumentative. This alpha woman nonsense or I don't need a man crap needs to stop too - we need each other.
Black people need to detach themselves from toxic ideologies - Feminism, Tribalism etc. It creates separatism and isolation from potential allies be it Caribbean, African or just non-FBA blacks in America. These ideas cause dissension and take away from the collective group.
Black people need to spend their dollar in the black community and black businesses need to provide excellent service or product offering to retain customers/clients.
Black people should stop idolising rappers, athletes, thespians, entertainers etc and shift their focus to intellectuals who can drive real change in the community. Celebrities can drop a million bucks but intellectuals can change the mental paradigm of the younger generation if their work is highlighted & celebrated.
Black people make fun of nerds but yet here we are on a platform built by someone who would be considered a nerd in the black community as opposed to be celebrated as a VISIONARY for creating a black-centric platform. Intellectual and excellent behaviour should be rewarded at all times. Kids emulate what is celebrated.
