Why are successful Blacks criticized by mostly ghetto losers as sellouts?

Question

Since when does being successful and educated make you a sellout to your race?

As though being poor uneducated and ignorant is the way to go?

Are rich and successful Blacks a threat to the ghetto handout policies of the Democrats?

Do rich and successful Blacks make racism a moot point?

nd also that poor Black gangbangers bring problems on themselves?

Why do ghetto losers look up to Rap stars as having all the answers for Blacks when they promote a message of gangs drugs crime and having sex with mulitiple partners and spreading aids?

Answer 1

Even though the "ghetto" people that you describe are just a small portion of the black community, they are the most vocal complainers of not getting more than their fair share.

These people call the successful and educated "sellouts" because it is the only instance that they cannot scream racism.

The people that made something of them selves are respectable citizens and are the proof that racism is not even close to the way that the ghetto people claim. When they see someone make something better of themselves it makes the rest of the ghetto losers look bad because if someone else can get an education and make a decent living the rest of them have no excuse to not do the same.

Get of your lazy rear ends, get an education and get a job.

The boy has cried wolf far too many times and as such is not believed.

Answer 2

I know what you mean they complain about Denzel Washington, Barak Obama, Spike Lee, Johnny Cochran, Magic Johnson, J-Z, Richard Parsons, Gordon Parks….Condoleezza Rice is not the only successful black person, why do white people hate Clinton because the did not tow the white line?

Answer 3

To sprctc or whatever the name is, I dont think that ''ghetto blacks'' are a small proprtion of the community. Anyway to answer your question Wise One, my friend and I were actually discussing this before and we believe it is because during slavery, the older generation of African American's had to teach their children they had to be weak in order to survive. And didnt strive to be successful or achieve anything, because they would be killed or hurt for it and really didnt have the oppertunity to anyway so we think the idea kind of stuck, being educated means being looked down on in those cases. Its up to those who are smart to know whats best for them and to actually try to help the others, and not take what they say seriously. Because in reality those certain people just dont know better, yet.

Answer 4

I worked with a combination of Blacks who were very successful with doctorate degrees and some Blacks who were hired from the projects and they all got along well with each other.

Answer 6

Jealousy

Answer 7

Stop watching CNN. Only 25% of blacks are ghetto-blacks and are self-down trotten. Why they believe as they do is beyond me. Unless a black person says this to you don't believe it.

Answer 8

because you are a traitor to THEIR cause, by their I am not implying all blacks just those you referred to, in the fact that you proved that the black race isn't being held back by some invisible race barrier, and that the only reason they are not being successful is their own laziness

Answer 9

Jealously, because some of the lazy ones think they should have the same.

Answer 10
