Advocating for personal responsibility involves more than simply paying lip service to the issue. Here's Obama's speech on Ferguson - Remarks by the President After Announcement of the Decision by the Grand Jury in Ferguson, Missouri | The White House
Basically, it says "we know that cops prey on black communities but please don't throw bottles". That's a long damned way from talking about personal responsibility.
Here is Obama's speech about Trayvon Martin - Remarks by the President on Trayvon Martin | The White House
The crux of this speech is that "yeah, statistics show that black kids get in more trouble but that's because the justice system is racist". Again, nothing about personal responsibility.
Here's Obama's statement on the 2 cops that got assassinated - Statement by the President | The White House
Not even 100 words and, again, no statement about personal responsibility.
Barack Obama and his "social justice" agenda can kiss my ass.
What does black youth crime have to do with how police interacting with black youth?
That is the exact example of black kids taking responsibility for their actions.
The problem is that all black youth are judged on what other blacks have done...NO ONE is saying that any person committing crime should not be held accountable. The argument is it that TOO MANY people lump all blacks together because of the action of others blacks.
Its not about Obama holding black youth accountable, its about holding all black youth accountable for the actions of some.
Personal responsibility means you are only responsible for your actions and no one else's.
