Academic Black people walk a thin line when addressing with White supremacy

[alpo]

Busted_Toe's son- "Dad I wanna to go to college and get my Phd.

Busted_Toe's- "Naw son that shyt for c00ns"

nobody said that idiot!

Those academic people are aligned with the "conscious community", which i stated in the opening post, fukk boi. Where are all the other Black people with PhDs addressing White supremacy?

Take the dikk out your azz and pay attention, Dr Michael Eric Dyson, Dr Umar, Dr Francis Welsing, Dr Claude Anderson etc these people are connected to the conscious community, they about a 2% of all the other Black people out their with the same academic accomplishments. I'm speaking why the other 98% are awfully quiet.

My main point is how do you know they aren't trying? What evidence do you have?

That was the insinuation.

SHUT YO DUMBASS UP! YOU MAD!

Prove I'm dumb by disecting my argument. What makes me dumb?

 

[ShaneTheRogue]

because they want white ppl to give them jobs, theyre too p*ssy to create a black economy

How would they create a Black economy and how are you certain steps aren't being made to create a Black economy?

Thread has some merit, but not all of us are like that...ya'll only hear about the safe, passive ones that cac media want ya'll to hear about; what about the dudes that are actually in the community and writing great black excellence like Sundiata Cha-Jua, Clarence Lang, Ruby Mendenhall, James Jennings, Aldon Morris, Helen Neville, Akinyele Umoja, and I can go on for ages because I've worked with these people in academia and the community...

There are still alot of black intellectuals/academics that are bout that action

I'm not talking college dissertations.. How about aligning yourself with a cause, where they can see your face. They walk a thin line even after they graduate.

Don't you know that's how people get these research stats you all love to quote? It's where people get their research based facts to challenge the status quo?

Seriously??? Have you looked around the past 80 years? Ever since black people gave up their economic base for "intergration" we barely have Fortune 500 companies and huge businesses. We was taught that go to school so we can get a job, not go to school so we can Create businesses for us. Then we have black people talking about "it ain't about the money"

I understand everyone hasn't got a speaking voice but it's always the same people that end up going at White supremacy, whether it be lectures, documentaries etc and they're linked to the "conscious community".. can you show me a lecture, documentary, book, anything where a Black scholar that isn't linked to the "conscious community" goes at White Supremacy.. I'll start you off Michelle Alexander...

When I get my PhD im going to ask em why.

most black professors do speak out. However if your field is math or something, your voice isn't going to be as prominent as the people you talk about. Not everyone wants a discussion fueled by media coverage. There are black who bring attention to economic disparity through studies you don't know about people they aren't coded with "white supremacy" and they're not all over twitter or huff post talking about it. But they put it out there in bigger and more substantial ways than your average person (ahem).

What the fukk are you talking about? Ignorance is bliss huh? here's what we have done in one year alone in Illinois:

1)Got the community to protest the building of another prison near the black area of Champiagn, IL so the legislation did not pass and the the money is now into building a school to be opened at the end of next year

2)a white cop shot a killed a 14 year old and we got the community organized, made so much fukking noise that the cop was arrested and fired; the family is getting a settlement and we got one of the professors listed above to actually give a COURSE on race relations to all newly hired cops in the STATE OF ILLINOIS.

3)We have opened a rec center that was not being utilized, so in effect, we have programs for the neighborhood kids to participate in after school now

4)We pushed for a black history component to be taught in elementary schools in ALL SUBJECTS and we are writing the curriculum as we speak and the pilot program starts this Fall

5)We got the Medical Center in the city to change its legislation in regards to blood pressure testing and other blood tests for poor people, which are mostly black; they will give free testing on certain weekends for the people without health insurance.

That's all this past year and we got more planned. Everyone I listed played a part in that and we are doing other things in other states...so instead of acting like a bytch and saying nobody is doing anything in academia, you need to get your ass up and join us or any community that is doing everything they can to help the oppressed people anywhere.
