This post is another example of why women can't lead. Contrary to popular belief, a lot of women have egos(insecurities) bigger than men. That's why women like you are so emotional quick to get catty-bytchy. The type of woman who will never admit to being wrong
You talk about me not reading while you completely ignore what I've said to push that bullshyt narrative in bold. I didn't say "I recommend violence" anywhere in my post. That's some shyt that you pulled from your ass. In fact, I made it a point to sat that I wasn't advocating for blacks to start randomly being violent with police/whites. My point is that violence can't be completely taken off of the table tho. You're hoing to have to defend yourself at some point to some extent. I wasn't saying that violence or self defense is the only answer I'm saying that it has to be part of the answer.
Economics and voting are only part of the solution. Blacks have always voted in blocks. Having an economy with no defense is no good either, look at Black Wall Street in Tulsa. They had an economy and whites just came and burned the shyt down. Obviously we wouldn't be able to create a military that would be able to go head up with the U.S. Military and that would'nt be the plan, but if we are ever going to maintain an economy we are going to need some form of defense. If the police are going to be allowed to kill us with impunity we are going to have to defend ourselves some kind of way.
My problem with your attitude is that you want to take physical self defense off of the table. I could never respect that kind of leadership.
What a disaster.
(I'm choosing to ignore your projection on ego, emotion and being wrong lol)
Listen, we can wax poetic about "living on your knees,and dying on your feet" and play the
coulda-shoulda-woulda game about events that took place nearly 100 years ago at Black Wall Street, but it's probably more sound to account for context. Which is this: It's 2016 and police departments are militarized. They've become more dangerous since the WoD, and WoT. Black people tend to live in urban centers. No group of Americans has successfully mounted an armed resistance against municipal, state, or federal law enforcement in over 100 years, at least. Not the Panthers.
You claim you didn't recommend violence in your initial post to me. Let's fact check, shall we?
This is why women can't lead. Women would rather live on their knees than die fighting to stand on their feet. You've also got it ass backwards [...]There has to be some kind of violent push back
"Violent push back", as you call, is at best futile, and at worst will make things more volatile than they currently already are.
Logistically, there is no Black community that can take-on a police invasion. The police use SWAT teams just at the possibility of drugs in a home/neighbourhood, what level of force do you think they will use on organized, armed BLACK combatants? A level you can not defeat. A level that, after you've all been killed (and you will be killed), they can legitimize to America bc you would have constituted a terrorist organization.
Matter fact, let's use a case study to prove my point. Keep in mind these are whiteboys, who many Americans still believe were just exercising their constitutional rights. '93, Waco, a group called the Branch Davidians decides they're going to defend their community from an invasion from law enforcement, sent in to carry out a search for illegal firearms. They had women and children on the compound. They're in a standoff with law enforcement for weeks. The Branch Davidians start shooting. Guess the result??? 76 dead Davidians, including babies. Law enforcement, unscathed. If that's what happens to white, how worse off are you?
This worse off:
'78, Philly. Police move to carry out a legal eviction of a Black Nationalist commune, MOVE. Police shoot, they shoot, kill one officer. Nine members are sentenced to 100 years in prison, AND they get evicted anyway. '85, same group has been living peacefully elsewhere. Police keep fukking with them. They come in to carry out an arrest warrant. Women and children are on the compound. Cops let off 10, 000 rounds of ammo in 90 minutes, and then literally drop a bomb on 'em - in a residential area, no regard for life. Babies killed. No punishment for the officers. The mayor who okay'd the bombing doesn't even lose his job.
So, I say all that to say this.
We can defend ourselves by driving policy to our benefit, we can become a more responsible community and make behavioural changes, we can even use the influence of our cultural product to advocate for ourselves... but we should not use violence. It's unsustainable, it's futile, and it will only result in more black deaths.
