Black America Is Tired of Black America & Here's Why!

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]White Americans are sick of our >> I got news for you. Black Americans are sick of your Black people are sick of black people's >> basically society is saying that they're tired of how black people are blaming things that have happened to us historically in the past. White people, black people, Hispanic people are saying we have black fatigue because of the behavior of some black people. I'm glad people are noticing this because it's been so many years and it's finally catching up to y'all.

[00:00:36]So, I saw this post the other day on social media and it really made me want to just shout because it gives the idea of where a lot of people a lot of how a lot of black people are feeling about black fatigue right now. Uh it's by the Ask a Black Man. It was on his page and the first thing it says is it says how did this happen? It wasn't always this way. He asked a question. How did lowerass black Americans become the face of the black community? I thought that was interesting because first of all I had to question myself and say okay is that true? Is is that true? But then I thought about c um culture. I thought about the movies. I thought about the music. I thought about the fashion. I thought about um what happens when a young person speaks properly and how they are represented and what people say when you want to be somebody and you're academically ambitious and I thought yeah he got a point. So um if you can just go back and show it show the first page. I want to read more of what he says. He says white Americans don't claim the lowest performing members as representatives of their culture.

[00:01:44]trailer parks all over the country and mainstream white America keeps a clean distance and tries uh to keep them out of media. The black community operates in the opposite way. The people doing well and building wealth get called sellouts and not black. the people embodying the worst outcomes get defended, excused, and centered as the authentic black experience. It isn't it.

[00:02:17]Let me correct this. It wasn't always like this either. Now, this part is really good. Ask your parents or grandparents if people that didn't want to be somebody were even recognized in black society. We used to hold we used to uphold doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs and hardworking people as the standard. But now struggle is the credential for belonging and admiration.

[00:02:44]Bad behavior gets a pass in the name of solidarity and it has to stop. I I was blown away.

[00:02:54]>> I mean it's true. U this is not what the white man is doing to us.

[00:02:59]>> Yeah. This is what we do to ourselves.

[00:03:02]>> This is what we do to ourselves.

[00:03:03]>> We celebrate the bottom basement run of the meal sewer garbage.

[00:03:13]Just I mean most vitriolic stuff.

[00:03:18]>> Mhm. And we call it entertainment. We call it media. We call it rap. We call it hip hop. We sing to it. Girls twerk to it. Babies are made by it. I mean, all of the above. We pump it into our veins.

[00:03:33]>> We absolutely >> we we for the lack of better words, we we make it a god and a religion. That's what we do. And people are going in in the comments section.

[00:03:43]>> They are. All right. They are.

[00:03:44]>> One person said, "That's a great question." This person is black, y'all.

[00:03:49]Even black people are SAYING, "YOU KNOW WHAT, MAN? THAT'S A great question."

[00:03:53]>> Someone else said, "Democrat politician is not speaking up on it, but embracing it instead."

[00:04:00]>> Someone else said, "I agree like the whole abortion thing. I don't care what the what the stats say because they've already been exposed for manipulating everything, including history. But many of us were raised against it to make it happen, no matter how difficult the circumstances are. Someone else says Democrat policy. Someone else says key word the media controlled by certain people. Someone else says for years we have not controlled our image while other races have been able to determine what images of their race get depicted.

[00:04:36]>> And we say that but I mean what do you think about that? Because I we do say that a lot and I've even said that. But the question we have to ask ourselves when they take for example uh Gifted Hands by Ben Carson.

[00:04:49]>> Yes.

[00:04:50]>> How many of us >> supported and went to see that movie?

[00:04:54]>> That's a good question.

[00:04:55]>> How many of us went to go see uh let's think of some other kind of movie.

[00:05:02]Um you know just your run-of-the-mill let's compare that to to Power.

[00:05:07]>> Oh yeah. Or going to see Michael Jackson.

[00:05:09]>> Yeah. Like we'll say, "Oh, we don't have any control over how how our image is."

[00:05:14]But like, do we support the good images or do we support? You're like, you have to ask yourself, it just makes you wonder.

[00:05:21]>> It's the it's the scarlet a and the asterk that gets placed beside the Republican that's black, >> right? You know, when you're doing virtuous things, I mean, uh, Ben Carson separated Siamese twins.

[00:05:35]>> Yeah.

[00:05:36]>> And that's not noteworthy. Day. sold uh dope in the hood, man. That's his block.

[00:05:45]>> Yeah.

[00:05:45]>> He the king of the city. He King Kong.

[00:05:48]He's this. He's the man. He's this. Day locked up or Day is probably dead by now.

[00:05:55]>> Yep.

[00:05:56]>> But the guy that separated Siamese twins, we can't lo celebrate him because he happens to be a Republican.

[00:06:03]>> And we say that. I mean, we've sat right here in on this show and we've talked about how African-Americans have talked about our our black Supreme Court judge.

[00:06:13]>> Yeah. That we've had a black a black preacher called him a napkin head.

[00:06:17]>> Yeah. I mean, it's it's just disingenuous. Yeah. you know, whenever you choose to think a certain way and not go along with the monolithic viewpoint, >> then you're going to be labeled as, you know, being not black or not someone that the black community can la invite to the cookout.

[00:06:37]>> Yeah. Yeah. So, I I I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go on that tangent, but back just to the to the black community and this black fatigue thing. So we can see that black people while we are uh have different opinions on what the causes are, >> right?

[00:06:52]>> People in general are just getting tired of of seeing so much of the worst of our communities. I mean, think about it.

[00:06:59]From the graduation fights, oh my goodness, the fights at the graduations have just been insane. I mean, it's either uh I don't think I've seen two graduates. It's either one graduate and a student that I don't know why he's at he's not dressed in his cap and gown or it's parents who are out there fighting, you know. In fact, we have a video that I want to show that just goes over some of the things from that to the cruise ships. I mean, just watch cuz some of y'all don't understand where we're coming from. Let's watch. Watch is take a look at this.

[00:07:36]>> Came across something called black fatigue. And basically, it's white Americans are sick of our I got news for you. Black Americans are sick of your Black people are sick of black people's basically society is saying that they're tired of how black people are blaming things that have happened to us historically in the past. And they are also now adding different things that they have seen in society to that behavior as well like loud mouthing or maybe you know using certain words or certain behaviors in public. Black fatigue seems to be growing, especially within the black community. There's a growing frustration within certain behaviors and more people are starting to speak up about it.

[00:08:17]>> White people, black people, Hispanic people are saying we have black fatigue because of the behavior of some black people.

[00:08:24]>> It's not racist to call black people out for their behavior and what they're doing to society at this moment.

[00:08:30]>> I'm glad people are noticing this because it's been so many years and it's finally catching up to y'all.

[00:08:37]So, is there some truth to it? Or is it just another form of racism? And how come so many black people are starting to speak up about this now? Either way, we got a lot to talk about today. Now, black fatigue is a growing term in the social media world. A phrase that's meant to explain a rising frustration, dissatisfaction, and even resentment towards a small portion of the black community and some of the dysfunctional behaviors that are increasingly being called out. But here's the thing, this isn't a new term. The phrase black fatigue was originally coined in 2020 by Mary Francis Winters, a black author from New York. She was inspired to explore the concept after hearing the same phrase come up again and again from black millennials. I'm tired. They kept on saying the exhaustion wasn't just physical. It ran deep, tied to emotion, history, and identity. In her book, Black Fatigue: How Racism Eros the Mind, Body, and Spirit, she explains that the original meaning of the term was about the centuries long toll of the systematic racism passed down through generations. Now, that was the original definition, but now the term has taken on a completely new meaning. Now to black fatigue. It has recently been turned into a feeling that some white and black people have who say they are tired of foolishness of some black people.

[00:09:41]>> It is a it is a completely behaviorbased issue. And when white people, black people, Hispanic people are saying we have black fatigue because of the behavior of some black people. We've all seen it. We all know what it is. It's everywhere.

[00:09:58]>> There are thousands of Tik Toks on it.

[00:09:59]post all over X YouTube videos and even some mainstream outlets.

[00:10:04]>> I mean, you saw it.

[00:10:06]>> Yeah.

[00:10:07]>> Yeah. And and it is >> and it's worth despising.

[00:10:09]>> It is worth despising.

[00:10:10]>> It needs to be corrected. It needs to be addressed. But, you know, Governor Bill Lee talked earlier about the bedrock of Tennessee, the bedrock of America, the bedrock of the nation >> is the nuclear family. Yes. You know what I mean? a husband and a wife and children and the Bible and the right values. Yeah. And I think there's a graph that you have as well that shows some additional statistics that gets to the heart of these issues that we're seeing.

[00:10:38]>> It gets to the heart of it because when you look at the family and what it does for society, let's look at this. The statistics um and this is based on US citizens information. It says single motherhood the single motherhood rate by race and ethnicity in the USA. And you go to the next one. 72% in my community, in my beloved black community, 72% as compared to 43% in Hispanic, 24% in the white community, um 16% in the Asian community. That is that jump is just too big.

[00:11:17]>> I I I that's that's too much. 72% and then 43%. And I think it's important for us to point this out because when we talk about these kinds of issues, we point the fingers everywhere. We just talked about it. We talked about media, which is true. We talked about the music, which is which you got a point there. We talk about this and that, but we know statistically the bedrock of society, the things that keep the children together, that keep us together economically, that help us academically, that help us in our careers is the family. Yes.

[00:11:52]>> And how often do we get together in with our conferences? How often does the black the Congressional Black Congress talk about the structure of the family?

[00:12:02]>> They don't talk about it enough. When you go back to that graph, Don, um you look at the bottom and I'll just cut to the chase here. Asians have sex, whites have sex, Hispanics have sex, and blacks have sex. You're >> right.

[00:12:14]>> Blacks have sex, Hispanics have sex, whites have sex, and Asians have sex.

[00:12:19]Asians find a way to make things work after having sex. They get married, okay? And for the most part, their marriages stay together. You know, they're at a they're at a 16% rate.

[00:12:30]Somewhere along the way, uh, someone knows how to follow, someone knows how to lead.

[00:12:36]>> In the white community, they they figure it out. 24% of the time, someone, you know, um, everyone can figure out whose role is what.

[00:12:46]>> Hispanic community. There's a clear understanding on roles, but for some reason or another in the black community, there's a lot of sexing going on.

[00:12:55]>> A lot of twerking, a lot of booty shaking, a lot of getting it on. Um there's even a scenario right now where there's a judge in Atlanta who is married, okay? and she was caught in the chambers getting on to another married with another married man, you know, and so it's it's it's all the all these problems. And so I I think that the sex issue is not the issue. Yeah.

[00:13:24]>> It's the leadership. It's the harmony.

[00:13:26]It's the working together. It's the husband being the head and the wife following. Mhm.

[00:13:34]>> All of these things are baked in the cake in the whole mixture of why things are going the wrong way and reality te television and also the failure of the church. You know there was a time where it was expected for the aged women >> Yes sir. to teach >> the younger women. And conversely, the older men, the sagacious men, the grayhaired men, the men who have, you know, conquered some battles, been through some things, adjusted and grown and and made some, you know, uh, life's decisions that can give them the balance to make articulate and winsome decisions. These men taught the younger men.

[00:14:17]>> That's right. But today, man, you have the aged women >> trying to compete with the young women.

[00:14:24]>> That's right.

[00:14:24]>> You have the older men >> trying to compete with the younger men.

[00:14:29]And so, we're not handing off and passing down legacy. So, therefore, across the board, there's brokenness.

[00:14:36]And there's no community where this shows up the most like the black community.
