3314 The Plight of Black America - Call in Show - June 8th, 2016

Question 1: [1:49] - “I'm a black female, born in the U.S. to Caribbean immigrant parents. Lately, I've been struggling with feelings of alienation and disappointment because even though I feel fully American and I love being American, I feel as though I don't fit in with any group. I feel like I have little in common with African Americans culturally speaking, but I don't have much in common with white Americans either; I've noticed a clear divide in many aspects of my life. To complicate matters, I'm pretty conservative so I feel as though that turns many people my age off of me because "liberalism" is the ‘correct’ posture. Naturally, this makes me less inclined to develop any sort of relationships with them either.”“My greatest concern is marriage. Family has always been foremost for me and I've always wanted a husband and children. However, I feel like my options are severely limited due to the illegitimacy crisis in the black ‘community’ and due to general black underachievement. As I've gotten older, I've become more doubtful of interracial marriage, as I worry that the children will be confused as to their identity. All of this has been causing me a great deal of anxiety lately. I wanted to ask your advice on navigating relationships (casual, friendships, romantic) given my situation and what your advice for managing my feelings of alienation would be.”Question 2: [1:25:55] - “I feel very comfortable debating with friends but get very nervous when debating in public. In public debates, I am usually invaded by a lot of ideas at the same time and fail to communicate them and sometimes I even communicate the contrary of what I want to say. How did you learn to debate? Where you always good at it? How can I get better at debating - specifically when the audience is not in your favor?Question 3: [1:57:22] - "In light of the European Migrant Crisis, you have been supporting Alpha Male behavior relative to Beta Male behavior on the basis of causing the aforementioned crisis and the emotionality of the Betas. However, you also say that emotions are healthy and are a very important, and often overlooked part of masculinity, but aren't Alphas supposed to have very little in the way of emotions?”Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
