and just like kendrick lamar you would be wrong. being pragmatic is not enough for BLACKS. remember Jews can move in silence using other names and be seen as WHITE. That helps out a LOT.lol, you guys are very idealitsic and thats very nice, but you guys aint built to deal with the real world
the jews did not take land, it was given to them by the british and the americans and they were backed by other european powers, because they had very smartly integrated themselves into the polticial and economic systems of the major powers
but thing about the jews is that, the europeans and americans that backed them were the same europeans that had opressed and committed genocide against jews for the past 1000 years (im not even talking about hitler), i just bring that up becuase using your logic jews are sellouts, they get along with the europeans that oppressed them
the jews were pragamtic about things and i would assert that black people also need to be pragamatic, this whole thing of shytting in america has limited usefulness becuase black people will need america as we start making moves
you guys want an omelete but you dont want to break the eggs, regardless of its history america is the key to black prosperity
pretty much.,I find it difficult to take seriously African Americans who are patriotic and claim to be conscious because what that reveals to me about the individual is that they are not truly conscious, or that they are submissive souls who have no issues sacrificing their pride and self-respect for the sake of national unity.
If you are a conscious African American you are aware that there is systemic discrimination against your kind, you are aware that the criminal justice system will be more aggressive towards your kind, you know you pay the same taxes as everyone else but your neighborhood still does not receive the same standards of education, safety, etc. as those not of your kind, and to sum up the whole awareness element into a single sentence, you are aware you are a second class citizen in the nation you are expected to call home.
So how can any rational and reasonable African American be patriotic to a nation that views him as an inferior for no crime other than being born with darker skin? Please explain that one to me brehs.
It's the reason why i can take off the 4th of july and BBQ with the fam and all of that. BUt the moment i'm some where, where i listen to white people talk about america's history and its greatness. i start shaking my head. Because then i have to remember We were not free at that point. The white man was free. women were 2nd class citizens. and blacks were slaves.
So sorry i cant wave that flag like that. But at the same time my ancestors put in major work for the USA. SO for them i can wave that flag the same way i could wave a red black and green flag. Its a tough spot to be in though.
