It isnt too late. We can still take advantage of it as a whole.

Make some more ATLs spread across in different parts of the US.

Again, my entire premise is I take advantage of it every day. :sas1:


Im getting ready for an interview on Monday right now :sas2:

When you get all of that money from the job will you use it to start a business that can employ black people? :sas2:

I want to go into AI, I want to destory jobs not create them. And fukk a job working for someone else, this is an internship so I have experience working with a start up to compliment my experience working with a huge corporation.

I can't help my brothers if I don't help myself first.

You will have excess money and you can start a black business to employ and help out your people.

The black people that you employ will also be working there instead of being on the streets getting caught up. :yeshrug:

I wish that was true but its not man, fukk creating a job in 2015. I was at a major corp over the summer and my job was to make the job of 25 people the job of 6. Im into automation and machines not hiring people out of altruism.

I wish I was in a tangible goods field but the software world is what is is man :demonic:

As long as you have excess money you can start a business on the side. Stop being lazy. :lolbron:

some good discussions in here :obama:

imo all these perspectives have some validity. yes we were the original people on this land, but this land was taken from us and doesn't belong to us anymore and hasn't belonged to us for a very long time. so to regain power we would have to take it from them just like they did from us, but nothing is owed to us simply because we are oppressed or because we're the original people here. global politics doesn't work like that. to wield power in global politics you need money and guns, not a superior moral position.

i also think america is the most likely place for "AAs" to prosper economically in the immediate future. the laws are stable and if you're on your hustle you can capitalize on opportunities and make some real money. there are hundreds of billions circulating in the black community alone, so the money is out here.

in terms of being patriotic it would depend on your definition of patriotic. this country is a blood-sucking monster no doubt, and it would be unwise to revere that which abuses you. so in that sense i agree.

in another sense we have to use the US for what it's good for, and from that create a higher quality of life for ourselves.

Even as an impressionable 90s kid, I never pledge allegiance to that red, white, blue colonial rag:wtb:

Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag
Bet she had a nikka with her to help her old ass

It's easy to be patriotic, because this country belongs to us and IMO our goal is to take our rightful place in this country, our rightful place is in a dominant position in this country

In top of that the grass isn't greener outside of America, IMO America is the stepping stone and foundation of black prosperity, the fact that we are in the belly of the beast is simply a double edge sword that we must wield appropriately, it's not a reason for us to wallow in despair and cry like a bunch of little bytches

I agree with this as well

i agree with most of what you said, especially it being a better platform than a lot of other locations for blacks to launch into a better life, however my point is always remembering how that launch was made 10 times more difficult for you by the flag that you are supposed to love.

Shaka Zulu got power hungry and eventually allow the Britsh to have Full access to southern Africa..............


We have young men Right Now with ten times the potential of any African leader not named a Mali or Sudanic or Ethiopian king. ....


We should take over a couple states, I'm not sure if that is doable at this point, because we have millions just trying to survive who aren't able to move............

:patrice: but the jews didn't all move at once........... eventually they created that nation.
The problem is who are the Black Leaders...? Jay Z, Puff Daddy, Russel Wilson, Al Sharpton, Beyonce....?

Who are the visionaries....? Who is that person that black people 100 years from now will celebrate as their "Moses" "King David" and etc...

I honestly believe black people have NO CHANCE...The best is to intermarry and have mixed race children that will look less and less black over the years, and face less and less discrimination...

That's the future I see for "blacks" in America....More Blake Griffins, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson...With the lack of leadership, the lack of a sense of nationalism and too much focus on entertainment and business, and not science and innovation, and then you have the Latinos increasing in numbers....

Who are the black leaders looking at these factors and thinking "Oh shyt, we have to get ourselves organized and unionised, so we can protect our children's future?"
