Real problems facing BLack America that are larger than the "Hyphy" movement:
1. Morality / attitudes about sex, commitment, fidelity, and the acceptable number of sex partners. Marriage rates are far lower and divorce rates higher than the national average among even upper-class Black Americans...in other words, it's not just about poverty. Black women and men, especially teens (and the youth generation), need to re-think the context of having children and its associated importance. The "baby mama" mentality and "I got a kid with this girl" does not imply a family or an acceptable life situation.
While this is also supported and exploited by corporate White america, it is not completely groundless, baseless, or nonexistent.
The Black libido is not stronger than every other race. Black people and youth do NOT need to be having more sex than everyone else and Black males do not need to get any and all ass at every chance they get. It is a ridiculous construct that is often supported in the Black community and the entertainment mass media. I believe boredom and percieved lack of opportunity are also at play.
2. Conspicuous consumption and financial literacy...where and how the "Black Dollar" is spent needs an entire re-tooling. The idea that a car, clothes, or money denote someone's worth in society exists outside reality, yet it is wholeheartedly believed, especially by the poor. This is an issue barely even grazed by most "Black leadership" today.
3. Resistance to any/all assimilation into society, the idea that "staying black" means attacking and never bargaining with or ignoring the system in order to further oneself.
4. The belief that the responsibility and the impetus for change lies outside the black community, all the while refusing to discuss Black issues or solutions with non-Black people. So basically "Fix it, but don't talk to me about it." This is seen when a person who is not Black points to a problem in the community and says "This is a problem, here is an idea for the solution" or "Here is an idea for change" and is greeted with one of two responses: A. It is not a problem. You don't know what you're talking about, or B. Who are you to tell me what to do, how to live, etc.
So there is a cognitive dissonance...the vehicle of change cannot also be the enemy, or no workable solution will ever be reached.
