NihilismEssay Preview: NihilismReport this essayThere are two types of people in this world: achievers and non-achievers. Achievers make plans for the future that cannot end anywhere but with success. Whereas non-achievers live most of their lives carefree just wondering if theyll make it to the next day. Sad to say, the African-American community has fallen to a majority basis of non-achievers. But why is this you may ask? These people have been consumed by Ghetto Nihilism, rejection of organizations created to better black communities. Due to the history of the African migration, a decrease in the church influences among the youth, and even some discriminating against others for wanting to leave the ghetto, the African-American culture is at a crisis point.
The influence of the church also has a large effect on the African-American communities. Keeping the youth, along with the elders in church will keep criminals off the streets and families more stable. Less than 40% of black children live in two parent homes, and gang violence is at quite a high. The “ghetto” areas of Detroit have lost more than 20% of their population.
Finally, African-Americans of the present-day arent choosing the best values to live by. For example, according to Carl Ellis, an achiever lives by “hard work yields getting ahead”, constantly planning for their future. Whereas a non-achiever, such as a criminal, bases their values off of “getting over by any means.” Its obvious one has a better mind set, yet is discriminated against for wanting to do better. When a person in a black rural community speaks proper, or dresses a certain way, they are picked on by being called “white.” In my opinion, thats absolutely insane. A person trying to leave the ghetto should be praised. Overall, the African-American communities need to come together before our culture comes to a complete standstill.
This is a good start. It should be the first step toward a strong black community.
I personally believe in social justice. And yet, as I say in the first paragraph, it is all about race!
This would also not only include other oppressed groups (Asian, Blacks and other “racists”), but is also about social justice. A better world would include more, not fewer, people like you on the street. That said, if we are to reach agreement on a strong black world, we have to act. We have to fight on for every day, every thought, the fear, the anger, the frustration, the sadness, the suffering, and the love for any of us we see. Or any of us we don’t know. All of this is possible and should be happening, but we have to do it every day. You and I cannot stop it. It makes you feel better, your energy, your self-esteem, life satisfaction, your success rate. We all need to stop taking this to something for granted.* When we make the first action on this website we want to help you be able keep the same. That means supporting groups we’ve helped work as well as working with these others on this blog. This site is meant to serve a wide variety of people, those coming in from poor backgrounds or having little money to do anything. We hope to help people with less debt pay their mortgage, start their life well in line with traditional financial values, avoid getting burned, and improve their health too.
