dodge, duck, dive and deflect from the truth at all costs.
our people have to leave their own folks when they make it. our disorganization makes us ripe for the picking from outside interests and exploitation.
I see little India, China towns, Little Italys, Little Portugals etc.. people hustling together coming up taking care of their own interests, situating themselves. But soon as you put too many brehs in a community it's a bad hood and kids wanna treat it as such for clout. No organization no code and definitely no leaders. Priding individual goals above collective pursuits means even if YOU make it YOUR KID still has to deal with the problems that were never addressed. Other people are making it so their kids have better opportunities not the same systematic issues to deal with generation after generation.

You gotta give us more than that brehBEING ON CODE IS A DETRIMENT TO WHITE PEOPLE. IT IS NOT A STRENGTH. IT'S KILLING THEM.
Your right. But our psychological state is way different than the other groups you mentioned. Also the fact that it seems every time we try to build or have a positive movement it gets infiltratedright on time proving OP right

We know enough now to know that people inherit things genetically including behaviour and trauma so that is encoded in your DNA. But expecting "others" to understand that is far fetched. Even other Black people (Africans) don't readily understand the full effects of Slavery or systematic oppression. Living in the West is a learning experience that comes with an awakening of the race conscious and also a begrudging acceptance of the role it plays in our collective lives... For those who been here it's more of a what is understood doesn't need to be stated type of thing. Most humans have a knowledge base that comes from their lived experiences so their understanding is limited to that extent. Every year that I've been on this earth I seen Black history month relegated to the back burner more and more. Is it even part of curriculum? not really..I agree with you there's just one thing alot of these cultures didn't have to deal with slavery. Yes the act of slavery isn't there but the remenants of the damage still plague the black community until this day. These cultures look at America as an oppurtunity so they have same view and are able to practice group economics. It's not the same for us slavery has fukked up the family dynamic with black people, with have a colorist problem. Once we are willing to fight for our own independence that's the only way we will be good.

I can only marvel at what Black people achieved in the past with limited resources to get all of us here today. I can't say that we have it hard in comparison so we need a legacy for our time here. We have to sow something for the next gen to reap. That is all.
