Trick question. Like the rest of America, "black America" is a diverse, multifaceted entity, and its parameters are sometimes difficult to define. Loaded with so much that is great and wonderful, high achievement, community empowerment, and a growing middle class, black America does have its share of problems. Those problems work to lessen the potential of a community ready to take full advantage of the American dream. Like most communities, the black community is hyper sensitive to criticism. That's a problem. An unwillingness to take a hard look at oneself is a problem for any individual, and the same is true of a community. Remember the hubbub with Bill Cosby? Dr. Cosby was viciously and brutally attacked by so many members of the black community that you would have though he was David Duke. Some of the attackers are very prominent achievers. the attacks ranged from "he shouldn't talk about those things in front of white folk" to " he should have to walk a mile in my shoes" to "he shouldn't indict all poor people." In my opinion, what most of the attackers fail to acknowledge is that bill Cosby didn't say anything that wasn't true. At least, it was true for an all too significant part of the black community. No where in Cosby's remarks did he say that his comments applied to all black people or all poor black people. The sad fact is that many black people refuse to let go of the remnants of the sad and tragic history of black people in this country. One of the worst things affecting the black community is the notion that we must reject all things white. Or more specifically, thing perceived to be white. Worse yet is the notion that achievement and education is something reserved for white people. Yes, believe it or not, among a significant part of the black community, to work hard in school or to try to get a good job and make something of oneself, is a bad thing. Translate, a white thing. When Cosby talked about young kids, and not so young "kids", buying bling and sneakers, he didn't make that stuff up. This behavior wasn't fiction. Can anyone really suggest that when the choices are between an expensive pair of sneakers and putting the $150.00 in a mutual fund of other savings account, that purchasing the sneakers is the wisest choice? Cosby wasn't indicting all black people or all poor people. But, he was talking to those to whom those criticisms applied. No pun intended, but if the shoe fits, wear it. Just so long as it isn't a pair of sneakers. Just about anyone will tell you that the first step to solving a problem is recognizing it. The black community can never expect to address the self destructive issues if it refuses to look in the mirror.

What is Wrong with Black People? (ISBN 978-1-84799-323-6) is a recent 700-page release by Joe Mintsa as a result of 10 years intensive thinking and searching. The book is a comact series of answers to the auestion that it lays open in the fist place.
This release responds to the need to solve a problem of world scale at this point of human evolution. This is why the arguments that are brought forward in “What is Wrong with Black People?” have no precedent. But their particularity mainly resides in the fact that they have unearthed a problem that was already abandoned totally unsolved by scholars and scientists – the true face of Black people's terrible plight in modern history.
The abandonment of the problem, through the method of intellectual evasion, is the thing that has led some people to rather begin to tackle the issue on very bizarre angles. It looks as if we had now come to a total intellectual recession where a chronic lack of dialectic opportunities has resulted in the fabrication of hasty outlets. In fact, we now seem to be sick of this subject; and, as a consequence, we want to get out of it at any price.
An example of these bizarre angles now tackled by some desperate solution finders is the one that now turns to the spiritual law that is commonly known as "the Karma". Some people are now beginning to count on God to do his job, meaning that God has to create a new race on earth, or to anoint one of the existing races with the power to take around ten million White men, women and children away to a virgin or a conquered land where they are going to be starved, beaten to death, thrown into the sea, put to work on plantations like machines round the clock; where they are going to be whipped and flogged all day-and-night long every day-and-night, and where they are going to be burned alive, cast away like dirty animals, deprived of the most basic human entitlements, raped, humiliated, discriminated etc. etc.
This implies that the suffering that Black people have experienced in the hands of White people over the past 500 years is most certainly due to the fact that White people are evil and, therefore, that the law of the Karma should be expected to bounce back to them, as it is supposed to always bounce back to evil people and punish them with similar pains to the ones that they have inflicted to their victims.
People who see things this way are certainly tired. They just cannot think any harder than that. In fact, they do not see any other reason why an entire human section would be enslaved and dominated by another one apart from the fact that the dominant party must be an evil party. They have even forgotten that most of the time, when there is a battle between God and the Devil, it is most often God who wins and dominates. Why should evil be the winner in the case of the Black-and-White rapport? – The answer might be such that God always wins in spirit, up there; but when it comes to the world of flesh, down here, it is the Devil's turn to always win the fight.
In the meantime, some other people are now more likely to believe that Black people are too dark to be humans. It would therefore be impossible for the law of the Karma to bounce back to humans for mistreating things other than humans; otherwise we would all be punished for eating cows. But the least radical view of this line of thinking -- the one that seeks to rank the 'black race' down to something less than human -- is the one that stipulates that God most certainly wanted to experience what it would be like being a slave. So he created an inferior race for the experiment.
However, the most open-minded people amongst these thinkers are now rather more inclined to believe that we may have come to a point of human evolution where even slavery is voluntary and, therefore, that Black people may be responsible for their plight in the hands of White people. This means that, for some reason, they may have voluntarily chosen to be slaves and treated the way they have been treated. Since they might have had a chance to say NO! Therefore, there is no point in feeling for them. On the contrary, they are very lucky to be given the opportunity to enjoy a condition that they chose voluntarily. Most of us, common mortals, are not so lucky to get our prayers answered.
Meanwhile, in the understanding of many other people, the problem of such a view is that it may be too short-sighted. In fact, experiences seem to have shown that most people who choose or accept to be slaves, even so voluntarily, never seem to be fully aware of what they are getting into. This is even the reason why we have a lot of “ happy slaves ” on earth. And, as a result, we end up in a terrible dilemma – how do we “help” people out of a condition that they have chosen voluntarily? And this is the most difficult thing about this exercise: to create problems – to convince people that they need to solve problems when they themselves do not have the slightest suspicion that any such problems exist.
This is even the reason why the mood in the world today is such that either you believe that Black people are natural slaves, or you rather believe that White people are evil by nature . In either case, you are in a stalemate: you can't change nature, can you?
Yet, not only is it very improbable for someone to turn up slave or evil just by nature, neither is it demonstrable that evil is conditioned by skin colour. The question, here, is: why should evil be White; and why should evil's target be Black? In other words, what is wrong with evil always tending to choose Black? In fact, the actual question is: What is Wrong with Black People? always tending to be evil's preferred targets?
This is where “What is Wrong with Black People?” comes in. It is for this reason that this book is very different from any other book that has ever explored the issue, because its objective is very different from anything envisaged before, as the author says: “the very simple reason why I have decided to face up to the question as to what is wrong with Black people? is because there is so much that has been said and written about it, but which, far from improving the Black man's condition, has rather made things even worse for him, due to a set of oxymoronic conceptions and psychotic attitudes that have been spawned by the emotional dispositions of most – if not all – of the best known scholars and intellectuals who have, thus far, attempted to explore the issue.
Therefore, what we are going to do in this book is to clarify a number of things related to the most fundamental misconceptions that have resulted from these dispositions; misconceptions that have remained almost totally insurmountable to the rest of us.
By so doing, what we are going to achieve in this book is to show where they are all missing the point. We are going to put into the open the true reasons for the Black race to have become a Karmic target on earth. And our main objective in this exercise is to suggest a more effective way to break the Karmic cycle, to turn the Black man into a dignified human; a human that it shall no longer feel so good to brutalise anywhere in the world.
We are prepared to achieve this by all means that abide by the Laws of the Spirit. If it ought to take altering Karmic targets, then we are going to have to do it that way for the sake of the Black man's redemption and dignity in the world. We are going to have to make it possible for another race to take the place of the Black race in this bad Karma; or we are going to have to force God to cancel the bad Karma altogether.
But, in order to do either, we need to be enlightened, wise, objective, and courageous enough to confront some discomforting issues that have taken the bad habit to make people cringe. We need a serious anti-allergy treatment – anti-political correctness therapy – if we should ever be able to make sense of what is actually wrong with Black people; and perhaps, too, to make sense of what is wrong with White people on their side, since they are the main torturers or Black people; but above all, to make sense of the point that we are all missing in the debate on what is now known as the African condition”.
In this sense, this book simply personifies a totally different type of intuition as a result of ten years of intensive thinking and searching. It is a full completion of Joe Mintsa's argumental jigsaw, where the most unsuspected – yet, the most damning – causes of the suffering of the people of Africa, as well as the struggles of their brothers and cousins of the West, are not only disclosed with courage, but also resolved with vision, for a greater understanding of the true needs and aspirations of Africans in today's world. And perhaps the time has come for us to take the word “understanding” a bit more seriously than we have ever done before.
This book answers almost the totality of questions that you have often put to yourself concerning Black people. This is a Bible for understanding an entire human section.

THIS DOES NOT DEFINE THE WHOLE BLACK RACE, AND YOU ARE IGNORANT TO THINK THAT IT DOES.
My god are you just looking to argue with people-- JK it is a good post but another very controversial. I think your right in the sense that holding on to the past and blaming others for ones misforutune is a lame excuse for not attempting to better one's self of course you must realize there are just as many white people blaming black people for their laziness. Anyway good post.
The truth is that black people were sold into slavery by their own people. Blacks in Africa attacked other villages and then sold their prisoners to white traders. They still attack and kill each other in Africa today and have been doing this for many years. The Jewish people have suffered more than any other. 430 years as slaves in Egypt, 70 years in Babylon, 6 million killed by Hitler. Yet the Jewish people don't act like blacks over this. Blacks need to blame themselves and stop believing movies that are untrue like roots. Look at how they hack each other up today, like the tutsies and the tutus, and like they did in Rhwonda. They are their worst enemies.
