Honesty About the Black Community

[May 15, 2025]  I’m a fan of Officer Brandon Tatum, an American Political Commentator. He’s a straightforward man, who happens to have a police officer background and someone who anchors his beliefs in the American way and Christian values. On his channel yesterday, Officer Tatum posted a recording of a black man being honest about the black community.

I did my best to transcribe this man talking reality to the black community. It’s refreshing to hear this. Some blacks are waking up to the fact that they are the problem that keeps the black community down.

Here’s his words from the video and is about a short two-minute read:

“I was just told that I’ve turned my back on the black community because of a recent video I did about Jasmine Crocket. This is called selective morality.

Let’s ignore the fact that there ain’t no white robes running through our neighborhoods; just black folks terrorizing other black folks. Let’s ignore the fact that ain’t no white supremacist shooting up our blocks; it’s us. Let’s ignore the fact that we make music glorifying our own destruction, then cry when the streets match the lyrics.

We live screaming black unity, but will rob, jump, scam, and kill our own people with no hesitation whatsoever. Preaching we gotta stick together, while setting up your own brothers while snacking your own sisters.

Love blaming the society for why our neighborhoods look like war zones while cheering for the very culture that keeps them there. Talking about black pride while murdering each other. Turning women into baby mamas and making it seem like being broke, violent, and ignorant is a personality trait.

Everyone want to scream black businesses, but’ll run to Gucci before you ever spend a dollar with your own people, while looking for a hookup at the same time.

We want to whine about gentrification, but won’t invest in your own community. Instead, trash our own community. Instead, trash it and then cries when somebody else moves in and builds it up.

And the worst part, ya’ll expect every black person to fall in line with this ideology. How dare a black person think for themselves, right?  How dare someone not subscribe to this self-inflicted victimhood bullshit.

Ya’ll want unity?  Start by looking in the mirror. The truth is black folks ain’t even for black folks. The biggest threat to black people ain’t Trump.  It ain’t the police.  It ain’t white people.  It’s us. It’s our our own self-hatred, our own refusal to hold each other accountable, and our own addiction to playing the victim while glorifying the very thing that holds us back.

Who’s out there shooting up black neighborhoods?  Not Trump. Who’s rapping about killing each other, robbing each other, and treating our women like trash?  Not Trump.  Who’s making our own communities unlivable, unsafe, and uninvestable, then crying about it, and wondering why they don’t build up our neighborhoods?  Not Trump.

Who raised us to fear each other more than any racist system ever could?  We did that to ourselves. But now, let’s keep blaming everything on racism while we kill and destroy our own at a rate only the Klan could only dream of. Let’s keep pretending every black person is on the same team when half of ya’ll wouldn’t piss on another black person if they were on fire. Ya’ll would film it and yell World Star.

Let’s keep screaming about oppression while cheering on the destruction of our communities.  Ya’ll don’t want justice. Ya’ll don’t want unity. Ya’ll don’t want progress. You just want an excuse to stay in the same cycle, while blaming everyone else but yourselves. So now, I’m not turning my back (narrative ends but there is more).”

Officer Tatum quickly points out that white people are not allowed to talk about problems in the black community because they will be called “racists.”  And that is the crux of one more massive problem. There is no check on the black community. And there’s no check – or useful feedback loop – and poor leadership, things are going to go badly.

    It truly sickens me to see such a wonderful culture up until the 1060s succeed on the basis of good Christian values and morals. But with the “counter-revolution” of the 1960s, the Black Culture began a decades long crash that puts us here today. Blacks have become priviledged, exactly what they protested against. They have become what they accused whites of being. So unfortunate and I’m Black and have embarrassment for those race hustlers in my race.

    Is ‘Black Fatigue’ a Thing?
    https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2025/05/12/is-black-fatigue-a-thing-n2188981
    There’s a phrase going around the internet you might have come across recently due to it being used in polite conversation to describe an issue within the black community. The thing is, I’ve seen it being used more by black people than anyone else. “Black fatigue” is being used to describe America’s exhaustion with the behavior of parts of the black community that you often see stereotyped by videos online. They’re often portrayed as violent, rude, loud, hyper-sexualized, and destructive.

    …. and there will be complaints about this MAN telling the truth …. the reasons are simple …. he tells us things that hurt. We need that feedback. We all need to be told, in no uncertain terms, that we’re screwed up and that we need to FIX our problems. Otherwise, we continue down the wrong path and eventually we reach a point where there is no return.

    The term “black fatigue” has recently taken the internet by storm, and Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” saw it coming from a decade away.

    “It is the antithesis, it is the yin to the yang of Black Lives Matter. It’s white people boldly expressing their fatigue with black people,” Whitlock explains, adding, “This was inevitable.”

    “That’s why I spent so much time during the whole Black Lives Matter psyop, about a decade, saying, ‘This is crazy, Black Lives Matter is going to create a boomerang effect, it’s going to harden hearts,’” he continues.

    🙏 A powerful, hard-hitting message. Everyone should pay attention.
    “ Ya’ll want unity? Start by looking in the mirror. The truth is black folks ain’t even for black folks. The biggest threat to black people ain’t Trump. It ain’t the police. It ain’t white people. It’s us. It’s our our own self-hatred, our own refusal to hold each other accountable, and our own addiction to playing the victim while glorifying the very thing that holds us back.”.
    Like Gen. Satterfield tells us every day, accept responsibility and live a good, honest, useful life.
    🙏

    We are starting to see a change in the American public regarding the ghetto culture of many blacks. It’s being called BLACK FATIGUE.

      Sad but the reckoning is long over due. And it will be to the benefit of everyone, especially better for blacks because they will be forced to accept full responsibility for their actions, both the bad and the good where the good will be rewarded properly.

      True. Let’s see how far it goes. Everyone will need to stand against privileged behavior, holding folks accountable.

        I’m not optimistic yet. 🙏 But I do pray that this double standard stops , where blacks are treated better and given more opportunities just because they are black. There’s a name for that and it’s called “racism” – and every human knows it’s unfair. And that generates anger and resentment.

    Wow, someone being honest. But, naturally in America, blacks and others don’t like this honesty because it makes them look bad. Reminds me of the nation of Haiti that is destroyed by blacks and refuse to admit the truth that they are corrupt and hate each other more than they”hate the white man.” Racism is real and blacks need to stop it.

      “Tell the truth, or at least do not lie.” — Dr, Jordan Peterson
      The problem with black culture today is that it is based upon the lie that blacks are inferior (I.e., racsim) and thus need help to achieve what all other cultures have achieved. I don’t think they are inferior but as this blogger says, it’s that blacks are holding themselves back by blaming everyone but where the problem is located. In themselves.
