Why dont black people travel?

[purplch0de]

I mean white people do it all the time. They experience new cultures and foods that they put their own twist on. I applaud them.

Chinese, Filipino and Indian people travel quite a bit, not just back to their motherland.

But black people, what's up? Why not travel?

I am not counting business trips.

[IGOTGAME]

smh...what are you talking about.

[Legend of Josh]

There's several different reasons, but let us keep in mind, it isn't entirely their fault. Not all black folk can afford to travel, so I'm not sure the OP's point. I'm sure, if many of them had the opportunity, they would.

Look @ my e-ga GOBB for example. Dude was a sharp little nerd in grade school, but with such low self esteem, he found himself out of school, and use his teenage paperboy skills to move on up into the real deal, post carrier.

Sure, he could have been something more. However, it isn't all about that. Dude was just fine. No nice ride, who cars. No way to really make it on his own, well that's cool too, his momma like him at home in the basement anyway'z.

Fast forward today, he no longer droppin' coupons in people's mailbox who just trash that garbage anyway... he's been fired... probably on his day off (Friday). He done moved on to bigger and better things. A new chapter in his life. He now clean up working with dookie. Lots and lots of it too. In fact, he around more poo poo now than the posts he's stacked up here over the years now almost decades.

That GOBB, he doing just fine. See, that's why he never really even been outside of i-LLadelph ... yeah sure, maybe a little weekend getaway to NYC here and there; maybe he's visited DC once. That about it though. Bank on that.

He doesn't need to travel the world to be cultured... he does that just fine here on ISH... 'cause he's the greatest of all time. That's all the culture he needs. Oh wait, nevermind. LOJ the GOAT. Duh.

[pete's montreux]

When's the last time you watched basketball? The blacks travel all the time.

[Go Getter]

Why do I get the rep of a racist yet threads like these face no scrutiny?

Black folks tend not to travel because we tend to be poor.

POOR people concentrate on feeding themselves and putting a roof and food over their heads and taking care of health expenses and getting to work.

Travel is way down the priority list

Now I know this is one of those trol bait threadds but it's really ignorant and childish of you to make light of poor people's plight.

However, "middle to upper class" blacks travel just as much as any other race.

You act like there aren't millions of poor non-black Texans that haven't been out of Texas.

I've been to Hawaii, the UK, Ireland, Italy, Saudi (for work), and all over the US....and I'm going to Paris next summer Lord willin'.

^damn, what would Jesus say?

Most black folks cant afford to travel, cause they've been placed in an institution that allows less money. Lucky us. But it seems that black folks adapt and create culture whereas white folks travel and try to steal it. Interesting. Just ****ing around.

Either way travel is a necessity to all humans. The earliest humans were nomads.

You're obviously going to play the whole zzz card on a e-ga b/c you mad butt hurt, and rightfully so. You've traveled a lot, good for you mangz.

Will I acknowledge white people are living better per capita compared to black, yes, obviously... but let's not pretend it's on some 90/10 scale of quality of life. The gab has obviously closed and is getting closer ... and these let's not get off on some black VS white debate here, let's just find the happy medium and put it like this:

Whites still have it better than black, OK yes acknowledged that, still some work to be done... not quite on the 50/50 level yet, but at the same time stop crying and making excuses like you have absolutely no chance to make something of yourself out there in the real world.

[Go Getter]

That's not my point. I was never debating black people not having a chance to succeed. The average person does have a chance to succeed (depends on what one considers success).

My point is that a black dude being president does not validate this claim. It has jack shit to do with black people succeeding. That's like telling a white teenage boy "Oh Bill Gates became a billionaire and didn't graduate from college so you should be able to succeed too." Different people, different circumstances. There have been black people in high ranking positions for decades. That doesn't mean shit to the average black person

Its very simple, go to the ghettos talk to the people and ask them where they grew up and what kind of environment it was. Most come from a single parent household, put into inner city schools where they don't learn shit cause the teachers don't care. Then there's the streets, drugs, violence, poverty. That has a psychological affect on a young person growing up in those circumstances, that's why people are so wild in the ghettos. They don't have much of a choice but to become what they see, its a very rare case for a person to escape that shit.

Racially, no doubt about that. But as a people, racism is now turning into classism. Where you look at people as pieces of shit based on their social and economic standing.

[purplch0de]

The poor excuse is bullshit, it's the lack of dedication. Black people are not the only poor ones. There are minorities here on student visa's that both school and work full time only to send 90% of their money back home. African Americans have one of the easiest paths for college admission and scholarships since they target minorities.

EDIT: Take for example Howard, 80% of the medical students in there are black... average GPA is like 3.3 or somewhere along those lines. That's a TIP for some of you looking to switch family physicians. Stay away from minorities [in medical school].

I went to school in IN and I live in Utah...racism is alive and well.

Brothers are still catching more flak that a mug and we are still looked down upon for our skin without regards to our character.

I agree that the opportunities are there (some that were not for my parents) but I do not agree that classism is overtaking or replacing racism...I've taken FULL advantage of the opportunities (as far as schooling) given to me for being a minority--no shame in my game.

Anyone can get an education these days...you might have to start off at junior college, you might have to flip burgers and wear generic clothes and skip the club and ride the bus but that's the way the world is...gotta pay your dues.

Dedication to what? School? **** that shit, its not even real education. Most American's are misinformed dumbasses face the facts, and thank the institution. College grads cant even jobs these days. School loans are an absolute scam. There's only jobs in the tech field if you want something else shell out more cash and become a professor. Meanwhile continue paying off your school loans,your mortgage, car loans and maybe, hopefully retire when you're 60, but most people from our generation wont even be able to retire. Once again, thank the institution. This shit doesn't only affect black people.

I could be wrong, I may be wrong but I notice females taking the bathroom/restroom shot photos with the same pose (including the showing of cell phone).

This

And it isn't even with just black people but with younger people in general. A lot of guys my age expect quick results without putting in work

I've read that after the E.P. had a big migration to cities like Chicago and Watts.

Manual labor (in fields and such) was seen as slave work and people wanted to do something different (factory jobs). Mostly though, young black men were attracted to preaching and pimping and hustling.

That's not white folks fault....we gotta own that.

Nowadays the trend continues...we gotta break that cycle....there is nothing wrong with working with your hands or being a hard working average citizen.

It's all about how you manage your money moreso than how much you make.

[PowerGlove]

Do you realize what percentage of China and India are poor? But when they come to the United States with both dedication and a goal in mind they become some of the wealthiest races here. And black people are not the only ones that are discriminated against. There is no National Advancement of Chinese/Indian people to cry racism on their behalf, atleast not to the scale of power the NAACP has.

I'd imagine that number would be largest due to their population and that fact that the wealth distribution there is just as bad as it is here but what in the world does that have to do with black people going to college? In fact, your example doesnt even make sense. If you are on a student visa, the United States government demands that you have enough money for your studies up front of you will not be granted access to the country. Plus the only way for someone to work full time on a student visa would be through an under the table job of some kind since you are only legally allowed to work 20 hours a week maximum.

So I'm confused, did you just make up this sad story to make blacks look bad or is there one person who's life is actually like this?

[Hazard]

I went to school in IN and I live in Utah...racism is alive and well.

Brothers are still catching more flak that a mug and we are still looked down upon for our skin without regards to our character.

I agree that the opportunities are there (some that were not for my parents) but I do not agree that classism is overtaking or replacing racism...I've taken FULL advantage of the opportunities (as far as schooling) given to me for being a minority--no shame in my game.

Anyone can get an education these days...you might have to start off at junior college, you might have to flip burgers and wear generic clothes and skip the club and ride the bus but that's the way the world is...gotta pay your dues.

Real talk brothers wanna be a boss without first doing the leg work and that's a big problem I see.
I'm not saying racism is dead, I'm just saying its not politically correct to be racist, but joking about killing bums is ok.

I think the most interesting thing to me is how white people have somehow seperated themselves from the poor rural whites. I'm sure they dont travel as well.

[Legend of Josh]

Its very simple, go to the ghettos talk to the people and ask them where they grew up and what kind of environment it was. Most come from a single parent household, put into inner city schools where they don't learn shit cause the teachers don't care. Then there's the streets, drugs, violence, poverty. That has a psychological affect on a young person growing up in those circumstances, that's why people are so wild in the ghettos. They don't have much of a choice but to become what they see, its a very rare case for a person to escape that shit.

You know what, you raise a very good point. There sure as hell needs to be more done to help the 'ghetto' folks get out of that mess. But peep this dude... in the past decade or at least 5-7 years you're seeing many more white and especially hispanics below the poverty line... the 'ghetto' these days isn't just all black anymore... it's much more diversified... in today's economy and what's to come in the next year or so... many more whites, blacks and all of us will be getting less and less and putting us into that 'ghetto' category...

Stop making it out to be like it's only blacks that don't have a shot to make something of themsleves. We can't rise above if we keep making excuses for what's going on. I will say we don't have enough political leaders in there who need to interject cash into these hoods and ghettos to get the education system corrected...

It is a problem... and my ex being a inner city teacher I know all this first hand... it's a messed up system... and there's not getting the funds and support they need. It's very sad...

Dedication to what? School? **** that shit, its not even real education. Most American's are misinformed dumbasses face the facts, and thank the institution. College grads cant even jobs these days. School loans are an absolute scam. There's only jobs in the tech field if you want something else shell out more cash and become a professor. Meanwhile continue paying off your school loans,your mortgage, car loans and maybe, hopefully retire when you're 60, but most people from our generation wont even be able to retire. Once again, thank the institution. This shit doesn't only affect black people.

If you cannot obtain a job post-graduation then you've failed before entering college. Education is what you make of it. There are times when classes don't teach you shit. This happened a lot during my undergrad, but like most minorities in my class i taught myself the material, designed study groups and was a part of clubs dedicated to that certain subject. There is no excuse to not excel in school regardless of how horrible it may be.

You're telling me about loans? Bud, i have over 70 thousand in loans (Partly due to attending a private medical school) and my dad can pay that off for me in a month if he wanted to. But he decided not to because even in the worst of situations something is to be gained. Point is, yes education is expensive, but there are BILLIONS that have it worse than you and I. Because as shitty as it is, it is worthwhile. The people that live in other places don't have the opportunity to attain the resources we have whether good or bad. And if they do, it's too expensive and don't have any financial aid.

So all i have to say is just because you go to college does not guarantee you a career. Hell i knew this prior to high school. How many people do you know well off with just a biology major? Most students will do grad work, whether that's a MD, PhD AuD etc. Don't expect a job without earning it and if you didn't earn it don't cry about the education system.

Yea.. there are a lot more poor white people than blacks in the U.S. probably. But they take up like 4x the population. 12% of 300+ mil is still a lot of people. And when a large majority of them are poor and come from crime ridden areas there much easier to target and stereotype.

Like.. poor white people aren't about the whole 'hustler' lifestyle like poor blacks are. Some are.. a lot of meth heads out there, but poor white people dont necessarily grow up in cities. A lot grow up in shitty rural areas where they are just completely oblivious to the outside world. Big difference between being a dumb redneck who doesnt know shit and a street smart hustler whose trying to exploit everyone around him. One does a lot more damage to society than the other.

[gigantes]

...it seems that black folks adapt and create culture whereas white folks travel and try to steal it. Interesting. (Just ****ing around)

Either way travel is a necessity to all humans. The earliest humans were nomads.
i think that really depends on what the conditions of the life-bearing areas of africa were, six million years ago.

i mean, if it was mostly plains-like, with pickings being few and far between, then i might agree with you. but since it was more likely forest-like, then early man would probably have been very much local-types... very similar to how tribes of chimps and tribal man still in africa operates today. hunter-gatherers, but by no means "nomadic."

...

actually, i kind of agree with the first part of your message. IME, american blacks do a much better job of creating instant culture and a feeling of togetherness than american whites.

(this thread should definitely have a "USA" title attached to it, because american blacks are worlds different from africans IME, and american whites tend to have vastly less culture and group feeling than their counterparts in europe.)


anyway, american blacks tend to be some of the most sheltered and incurious folks i've ever known. money and being middle class changes very little of that IME.

meanwhile, american whites have forgotten almost everything about their original heritage and culture, and have melted in to the most privileged yet most groundless and anonymous people in the world. this means massive insecurity in many ways and on many levels. especially pathetic to me is the way american white people are desperate to remain 'cool' and 'hip' at all times, and for the past 20 years or so have been stealing everything they can from the culture of black americans to retain their cutting edge, like the latest speak, how to dance (badly), how to behave in public, how to relate to other people.

white americans have become lunatics for all this, without even knowing why. because black americans have strong reasons for acting the way they do across a variety of issues, but white america has totally ignored that... only caring about behaving in a way that seems edgy and cool. and IMO all that does is up the ante for the USA as a whole, solving nothing and turning up the tension, ultimately.

instead of the last generation and a half of white people imitating black people without understanding the things in their hearts and minds, they should have stayed relatively nerdy and inclusive and worked to solve the real issues and continue to apologise for how badly most whites have treated most blacks for most of american history. instead, the fires keep getting stoked, and nobody moves forward. we've been stuck in this ridiculous situation since some time in the 60's, from what i've studied.

rant over, i guess.

The ghetto is fueled by drugs bro.. The hardest drugs come from the ghetto and spread on outwards. It's a wide open drug market. And the drugs fuel everything else.. violence, guns, gangs.. everything. I've known so many black guys that seem to be proud of being from that environment.. like being around all of that makes them hard.. which it probably does. Doesn't change the fact that theyre more involved in drugs and therefore crime than any other demographic on a per population basis. Whether its their fault or not thats how it is.

You said the hardest drugs COME from the ghetto ......be clear in your rhetoric sir...(I get you now though)

1. Actually, whites do WAY more cocaine than blacks. So you have to include that in the suburban category.
2. Meth/pills are the biggest hard drugs now and they are prevalent in white areas. White boys are blowing up their houses trying to make it in Utah.
3. White drug dealers aren't represented in song and on Tv as much but they are out there just as much if not more than black ones.

who said poverty equals failure? Poverty equals a higher rate of failure. There are failures from every class in america It has always been that way, but the success rate for the poor is much,much lower when compared to their upper class citizens and that is regardless of race.

Also, how can you describe the thousands or even millions or indians and chinese students who study here and have to support their family back home as many? If they are supporting people back home on the little they make as students working under the table, then why on earth wouldn't their success be considered rare?

Yes poverty means higher chance of failure, but looking among races African Americans have the highest amount of this failure based off of % of African Americans that drop out of school. I see a lot of students on student visa's working full time because the pay is significantly higher here relative to where they're from. I suggest reading Amy Chua's recent book The battle Hymn of the tiger mother.

POOR people concentrate on feeding themselves and putting a roof and food over their heads and taking care of health expenses and getting to work.

Travel is way down the priority list

Now I know this is one of those trol bait threadds but it's really ignorant and childish of you to make light of poor people's plight.

However, "middle to upper class" blacks travel just as much as any other race.

You act like there aren't millions of poor non-black Texans that haven't been out of Texas.

I've been to Hawaii, the UK, Ireland, Italy, Saudi (for work), and all over the US....and I'm going to Paris next summer Lord willin'.

Everyone knows the OP is a morons and a racist. It has been brought up several times. I know a lot of black people who travel, painting everyone with a broad brush makes you a racist.

I honestly feel it's an issue of poverty. Whether I am right or wrong I don't know, but I would also bet it that there are a higher percentage of African Americans living below the poverty line compared to Caucasians.

Lmao! I almost thought you meant travel in basketball!

A couple of years ago I saw a young black dude at the Incheon Airport, he was probably the only black person I saw there. He wasn't wearing a suit so it wasn't a business trip or anything, in fact he had baggy jeans and looked like your typical gangsta rapper. He was alone and didnt have an entourage, not sure what his profession was.

Probably in the army, a lot of Americans down in Seoul especially at Itaewon

Bolded= very true. I didnt even think of that.


I will try to find that book but I suggest you read Race Matters by Cornel West to give you a different perspective on the black race and their woes.



West is a self professed socialist (honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America) and has been known to lie and bend statistics in order to prove a point. He also attacks Obama quite frequently, which I don't think helps us out as a race.
