“Black Fatigue” Goes Viral: Everyone — Including Blacks — Is Tired of Ghetto Behavior
by Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge May 18, 2025 in Curated,

(Zero Hedge)—The progressive ideal is largely to blame for the monstrous creation that is ghetto culture. The idea that racial narcissism among blacks should not only be tolerated but celebrated has led to a surge in open animosity for societal rules and standards within the US. Far more than any other group, the black community makes up the largest share of physical crime according to their percentage of the population. This includes robbery, aggravated assault, and homicides.

For example, black Americans make up only 13% of the population but commit around 52% of all homicides according to FBI statistics. The recent case of Karmelo Anthony comes to mind, a black teen who admitted to stabbing a white teen and killing him because the white teen allegedly “pushed him” (which he argues was a threat that made deadly force justifiable).

The concept of “disrespect” as an offense that justifies murder is only one problem. There is an identifiable trend of theatrical sociopathy within the black community that goes far beyond the norm. The prevailing theory is that this is predominantly cultural – Black Americans have the highest rate of single parent households in the country (50% of black homes compared to 20% of white homes in 2023). Most of these households are run by single mothers. Single mother homes are a notorious indicator of future criminality among juveniles.

Then there is the problem of racial victim culture; the false idea that black Americans are being “oppressed” in the US by a systemic conspiracy of white patriarchs. In reality, white Americans have been exponentially tolerant and have provided special privileges for blacks (affirmative action and DEI), largely because progressive society demands that reparations be made for slavery 150 years ago and segregation 60 years ago. The form of those reparations has more or less been white guilt and a quiet passiveness in the face of increasing antagonism.

Leftists claim white people should take it because historically they deserve it. Ignore the fact that every culture on Earth had institutional slavery and all the slaves sent to the Americas were purchased from African tribes that enslaved other African tribes.

However, it appears that the black community’s precious supply of white guilt has finally run out and people are fed up. The term “Black Fatigue” has gone viral this week on social media, sparking a much needed conversation among not just whites, but also blacks and other minorities. The catalyst blamed for the trend is the now widely known “Shiloh Hendrix Incident” which has led to public support and an uproar among progressives who demand the woman be prosecuted for dropping an N-bomb.

Perhaps white Americans finally speaking up instead of remaining silent is what was needed all along. The fear has not been so much about black reprisal, but reprisal from the leftist mob, which until recently had weaponized cancel culture to destroy the lives of anyone speaking outside of prescribed leftist opinions.

The following clips illustrate Black Fatigue in the most symbolic way possible: An arrogant desire to destroy what other groups build, no matter how meaningless and petty the situation might be. Never helping, never cooperating, never trying to make things better.

And an egotistical need to display power over other groups (especially white people) by sabotaging them even though they have done nothing wrong and want to be left alone. Oversensitive reactions to every perceived slight, creating a psychology of persecution that leads blacks to lash out over everything. These are habits not limited to individuals, but habits of the culture as a whole.

Black fatigue is leading to a dangerous place and it’s clear that at least some in the community see what is happening and they’re trying to mitigate the damage. Historically speaking, the next stage would be mass anger and retaliation for such behaviors.

Hopefully it won’t come to that. If ghetto culture is abandoned and calmer minds prevail then it’s likely most racial strife within the US today will disappear as quickly as it gestated. But this would require that a large portion of black Americans accept the reality that they are not victims and that they are causing the problem. How likely is it that this will happen given decades of woke indoctrination that says white people are always the source of every conflict and trespass?

And the pendulum swings...again.

Mine os more like Progressive fatigue, but the sets do have a considerable intersection.

The contrast everyone sees on their own TV is between the portrayal of victimhood on the progressive news vs. the portrayal of superiority seen in the TV commercials--blacks all drive brand new luxury cars/SUVs (usually given as a Christmas gift wrapped in a bow) and live in top rank housing.
Oh and BTW all these black or biracial families have a dad at home.

Willie K the Hawaiian musician was ahead of his time. In a movie he starred in, he wore a T-shirt with the phrase "Put the C back in Rap".

It's worse than that. Most of the homicides are committed by men, which halves this percentage.

The OP (original post) points out that 13% of the population in America is black, yet they are responsible for 52% of homicides.

I saw a post (different forum/different demographic) that pointed out not all the 13% actually kill people. The killers are male in an early to middle age range. That brings the actual number down to ~2%.

But what that poster refuses to admit (and, I point this out to him; waiting for response) is that the entire black culture encourages and protects the above referenced 2%.

Heck, we can't even discipline black disrupters and criminals in our school system because "racism." The change will have to be across the board.

Lol, we have a local company that makes excellent outdoor clothing for all seasons. Their winter catalogue photos for snow sports is at least 90% black models.

I have two friends who are adoptive parents of black (mixed) children. One of them is formally adopted, the other is informal (shared custody). These kids, one of which is five, the other is fifteen, have nothing but good influences in their adoptive families. Both families are Godly, both are blue-collar with both parents employed, and both have a good focus on family, with little care for social circles or excessive hobbies.

The poison of contemporary Western ghetto/gangster/rap culture is so potent that both of these kids are affected by it. It manifests in bizarre rebellious attitudes with no discernable origin in the family. Both of these kids have had the influence of these good families their entire lives, and never been totally immersed in negativity.

Obviously, both of them come from a "broken home" of sorts, but they've ALWAYS had a good home too.

I go camping with the older one occasionally, and see him pretty regularly otherwise too. In those contexts he's a regular dude. His adoptive father is one of my best friends, and he confirms that the negativity creeps in at public school (shocker) and it's bolstered by media consumption; the kid listens to rap and socializes with his buddies via inline gaming when he stays with his mother.

The five-year-old is more puzzling, as his exposure to the phenomenon that impress-upon the teen is almost non-existent. He does go to daycare though, and perhaps gravitates toward other kids his same color, whose home lives aren't as wholesome as his. That'd maybe be enough for him to pick up behavioral traits that then present as out-of-place.

I am no expert in all this. I do know that, especially in the case of the teen, the draw of the "rap culture" (Western ghetto/gangster/rap culture) is strong and, once it's got the hooks in, it's dang hard to push back.

I agree with you, but I will go even further. I think they are one in the same. I don't know of any conservative black people that exhibit the behavior associated with creating black fatigue.
I believe it is a cultural issue fostered by the Left over the last 60 years.

We can see this kind of low-class behavior among whites as well. The difference is that whites are not offered an excuse for their behavior, or told their bad actions are someone else's fault.

All those videos, they all kept saying "the black community". That blanket term and use of it is a big part of the problem all by itself. It contradicts the very thing they're saying.

That's exactly it. If people are individuals that should not be judged as a community. You are responsible for your behavior, no matter what color you are. Being part of "the black community" is no excuse any more than being part of "the white community".

I've seen this as well. I know several adoptive white families who have raised black children, in the same environment with the same influences as their white children, and somehow the black kids ended up with a chip on their shoulder and caused all kinds of grief. Accusing the parents of racism, white privilege, etc., even though they had the exact same opportunities as their white siblings.

The saddest example was a young kid who's family I knew well. He got involved with two older adoptive black kids from different local families who convinced him that he was a victim of white oppression and ended up manipulating him into giving them hundreds of dollars to buy him a phone (because his parents had taken his as a punishment for prior bad behavior), which they ultimately stole. I had a few talks with him about it, and pointed out that he had a great family who chose him, cared about him, and wanted the best for him while these "friends" were obviously just feeding him this racist crap so they could take advantage of him. He seemed open to listening at the time, but last I heard he's still having trouble with the family. The cultural influence is poison, and through the internet and social media it's everywhere.

On the other hand, I know sone who have overcome it and have outperformed their white siblings. My son has a white buddy who is pretty lazy and going nowhere, relies on his parents for most things, and can barely make rent. His adopted black brother is a super hard worker, has saved up thousands of dollars, is managing a restaurant and working on owning a franchise. That kid also doesn't buy into the racist bull crap one bit, either, and has completely rejected the idea that he's oppressed.

I think it all comes down to the individual and what they choose to do...but there are definitely some extra hurdles that have to be overcome to reject that cultural pressure.

Colin Kaepernick is pretty much the poster-boy for this phenomenon.

Sorry, I didn't realize the 'admin' had such a dissimilar sense of humor from my own.

Note taken and post deleted..

Just a minute. This has nothing to do with my sense of humor, nor my personal feelings on the subject at hand. This is a community forum, which you may be surprised to learn is frequented by persons other than older white American males.

I am not speaking to you now as a member, with all that may imply. I am speaking to you now (and before) as the administrator of this forum, and what you should be taking into consideration right now is not my sense of humor or my personal feelings, but rather my obligation to treat all members fairly and considerately. Surely you understand that this is a delicate subject, and when I asked you to acknowledge my forbearance, that should have been a clue to you that I am allowing this matter to be discussed, which should tell you that I feel it has merit, but by the same token, I have to at times tread a narrow path in determining what is or is not permissible subject matter in this forum.

In short, cut me some slack.
