Black Snowflakes
Black Snowflakes: How the Liberal Victimhood Narrative Ruins Black Males | Spencer Shaw Page
5 posts | 1 read
Liberal Victimhood has sabotaged the minds of young Blacks causing them to become whining, sniveling, sensitive, little snowflakes. Books like Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me treat young Black males like hopeless infants. Black Snowflakes by Spencer Shaw Page serves as the antithesis by compelling Black Americans to take responsibility for their lives. Figures like Robin DiAngelo, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Ibram X. Kendi and Ta-Nehisi Coates paint a historical picture of hopelessness and abject victimhood. They disrespect our ancestors by blatantly ignoring the heroes of our past. Black History is filled with inspiring entrepreneurs, inventors, intellectuals, and innovators. Many of them earned their fortunes during the horrors of American Slavery and Jim Crow. It's stories like that of Mary Ellen Pleasant or Jeremiah G. Hamilton that can show young Blacks that, even through the worst of American racism, they can accomplish great things. Black millennials have been taught to adopt an external locus of control which causes them to become childlike and dependent. We have become the counterexamples to the Black heroes of our past. We have become losers in the game of life. Black Snowflakes offers young Black males a new perspective. One that reflects the self-reliance, individualism, and conscientiousness of our ancestors. One that teaches them how to become winners. Young Black males need a message of empowerment and encouragement. They hold the keys to the next generation. If they are not living to the best of their abilities, how can we move forward as a community? Black Snowflakes takes us on a realistic journey into the steps Black males must take in order to live up to the expectations of our forefathers.

What starts off coming off as a rant ends up being a desperate plea for things to change for our generation and the next.

Just a little over half way through and still surprisingly into this one. It started off feeling more like a rant, but now it‘s more of a plea with facts to back up his talking points.
