If Larry Elder’s recent interview on "The Breakfast Club" podcast were a campaign ad, the title would practically write itself: “Never bring talking points to a fact fight.”

For more than an hour, the veteran radio host and 2024 presidential candidate used data and logic to pick apart every argument Charlamagne, DJ Envy, and political commentator Tezlyn Figaro had to offer about the state of black America.

The interview started with Elder discussing fatherlessness, something he described as the top social problem in America today. He noted that non-marital births have increased threefold for both blacks and whites since the 1960s and linked the breakdown of the nuclear family to violent crime, poverty, and incarceration.

You would think that after hearing something like that, a man who talks so much about race and helping “his people” would want to know what he and other influential African-Americans can do to change this reality. Instead, the host responded by asking Elder, “What do white people do wrong?”

In that moment, Charlamagne went from being a noted expert on systemic racism and social justice to a staunch supporter of the White Lives Matter movement. Like many black progressives, the author and radio host loves to talk about race when it comes to police brutality, “mass incarceration,” redlining, school funding inequities, or acts of violence tied to white supremacy. But as soon as the conversation turns to the roles black people must play in our own uplift, suddenly his throat starts to close, his skin starts to itch, and the only color he can see is white.

This allergic reaction to accountability can flare up at a moment’s notice. The only thing that brings a person suffering from severe symptoms out of anaphylactic shock is a jab of the “what about white people?” EpiPen. The urgent concern for white people magically disappears as the other symptoms subside and the patient is able to resume predictable conversations about systemic racism.

No family, community, or country can improve its social and economic condition as long as its members see themselves as helpless and powerless.

Politics is a contact sport, so ideas and positions that are never tested get brittle over time. The mind starts to atrophy when you spend most of your time with people who nod approvingly whenever they hear their favorite political catchphrase.

Black voters, like all Americans, deserve insightful debates on important issues. We are not being served by the outlets that sell systemic racism and white supremacy as our main problems, only to claim that bigger government and better white people are our main vehicles for change.

‘We Are Our Own Worst Enemy!’: LeBron James Accused of Blaming Black People for Tyre Nichols’ Death.

Credit Breitbart.com

NBA basketball icon LeBron James has taken a beating on social media after saying black people are “our own worst enemy” in response to the police brutality incident that led to the death of Tyre Nichols.

Last week, the nation came to a standstill when released footage showed five black Memphis police officers brutally beating Tyre Nichols during an arrest, which subsequently led to his death.

Basketball star LeBron James, who has spent the latter half of his career pushing social justice messages regarding race, used the moment to say black people are “our own worst enemy.”

Jason Whitlock on Memphis PD Video of Tyre Nichols Beating: ‘It Looked Like What Young Black Men Do When They’re Supervised by a Single Black Woman’

Ep 366 | Attitude & Frustration at the Root of Tyre Nichols Tragedy, Not Racism

Three weeks ago, in a traffic stop on January 7, Tyre Nichols was hospitalized upon arrest and died three days later. He was beaten by five Memphis police officers who, since then, have turned themselves in. Today, MPD will be releasing the body camera footage of the incident. Today on “Fearless,” Jason discusses the common narrative of policemen being "racist cops" with “Fearless” soldiers Delano Squires and Shemeka Michelle. Jason asks people to consider an alternative to what’s really going on. Perhaps attitude and frustration are the culprits, not racism.

Jason Whitlock interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight

During an appearance on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Jason Whitlock, host of the “Fearless” podcast, said the actions of the five Memphis Police Officers charged with the murder of Tyre Nichols were a reflection of the breakdown of the family.

According to Whitlock, the beating was a clear-cut case of illegality by the accused law enforcement officers. However, it also appeared to represent the culture of single mothers who have risen to leadership posts in many American cities.

“They don’t want us focused on reality. Hey, if they want to devote an hour of coverage to this and weekend coverage of this, and they want to take us to a good place, I would examine the racial element of this because there is a racial element. And this is a story about young black men and their inability to treat each other in a humane way. Everybody involved in this on the street level was either 24 to 32 years old, everybody. It was a group of young black men, five-on-one. It looked like gang violence to me. It looked like what young black men do when they’re supervised by a single black woman, and that’s what they’ve got going on in the Memphis Police Department.”

“They’ve elected some — put some black woman in charge of the police force, and we are getting the same kind of chaos and disunity and violence that we see in a lot of these cities that are run by single mothers,” Whitlock continued. “If we want to discuss the breakdown of family that leads to disrespect for authority that causes you to resist the police and run from the police and not comply with the police because you resist authority at all time because there was no male authority in your home, let’s have that discussion.”

“But that’s not where they want to take us,” he added. “They want to take us down the path of saying, you know what, this is Tucker Carlson’s fault. This is some random white — this is Donald Trump’s fault. It’s not. It is the breakdown of family and the buying into all these left-wing things that have nothing to do with promoting family.”

Captain Convey Note

Normally LeBron James is blaming the police or white people for everything.

LeBron James said, "We are our own worst enemy.".

That short statement by LeBron sums up people in the black community that normally listen to what LeBron James says and follow his Own Worst Enemy advice.

Black on black crime also includes 5 black police officers killing one black man.

Jason Whitlock explains why some black people are their own worst enemy.

“But that’s not where they want to take us,” he added. “They want to take us down the path of saying, you know what, this is Tucker Carlson’s fault.

This is some random white — this is Donald Trump’s fault.

It’s not.

"It is the breakdown of family and the buying into all these left-wing things that have nothing to do with promoting family.”

..................

Some people are able to overcome the culture of, ‘We Are Our Own Worst Enemy!’.

It can be said of other people also, drug addicts and alcoholics.

They to are their own worst enemy.

Addiction is a choice but can be overcome.

The "We are out own worst enemy" is a culture lifestyle but can also be overcome.

Remember the song, "We shall overcome"?

Its possible.

“Unchecked pride evolves into swagger, a hypnotizing mask of insecurity that can and does compromise our ability to make progress and attain power. Pride stands in the way of forgiveness and a strategic approach to navigating a chessboard rigged to prevent pawns from becoming kings and queens.” ~ Jason Whitlock

Quote

Douglass understood that the Negro’s worth did not come from the opinions of slave masters. Nor does the value of black life today come from the opinions of whites willing to affirm that black lives matter. Douglass understood that the dignity of the Negro came from his Creator. This antiracism, recognizing the imago Dei emanating from every created being, affirms a common humanity and provides a foundation on which people from disparate backgrounds can live peaceably with each other. Racist slave traders considered black people property. Antiracism advocates today consider us pawns. Their respective conceptions have different starting points but they both reach the same conclusion — absent benevolent interventions, the American Negro is without agency, direction or purpose, a vessel of melanated chaos driven by historical trauma and extant oppression. Both groups see black people as incapable of moral reasoning and bearing no responsibility for our own actions. The former argues the issue is blood and genes; the latter, environment and access to resources. The racist was driven by contempt; the antiracist by condescension. ... When searching for a guide for opposing race-hatred, choose a worldview that sees all people as individuals created in God’s image with the capacity for good and evil, and reject the one that asserts some people are exempt from moral responsibility because of historical trauma. Always choose that which speaks to the eternal and universal over that which appeals to the ephemeral and specific. Always choose the side that sees humanity before skin color.

Delano Squires, “Frederick Douglass and the Essence of Authentic Antiracism”
