The 3 Black People Causing Black Fatigue

There are three types of Black people destroying our community from the inside. Not white supremacy. Not systemic racism. Not "the man." Us. The behavior we tolerate, the archetypes we celebrate, and the dysfunction we wear like a badge of honor.
 

I'm Andre Williams — Detroit native, U.S. Army veteran — and in this video I'm laying out the three archetypes every Black American needs to recognize, call out, and refuse to be:
 

1️⃣ The Hood Type. Low impulse control. No long-term thinking. Working at Wendy's at 28. Fighting over Section 8 housing he doesn't own. Buys what he wants and begs for what he needs. Offers nothing of value to the community.
 

2️⃣ The Hustler. The fake entrepreneur. Always grinding, never building. Sells weed, sells scams, sells courses about how to sell scams. Wants the lifestyle of a winner without the discipline of a winner. Turns every interaction into a transaction. Selling poison to your own people isn't entrepreneurship — it's parasitism.
 

3️⃣ The Liability. The ghetto single mom who wears her dysfunction as a badge. Loud in public. No order. No self-control. Then she looks at the camera and asks "where are all the good men at?" — after picking the hood type, getting pregnant by the hustler, and ignoring the men who were actually building something. The good men are at work. They're not focused on you.
These three archetypes don't represent Black culture. They represent the rot inside Black culture — and the more we defend it, romanticize it, and refuse to call it out, the longer it kills us.
Nobody is coming to save Black people. Nobody is going to make it better for us. We have to do the work. We have to call it out. And we have to refuse to be any of these three.
 

Do better, Black people.
