The problem is all these dudes tweet and make youtube videos swear they're MLK or X. Al and them elders should be respected

Yea all from the safety of their living rooms.

Al done got stabbed, shyt thrown at him, pelted with rocks, etc etc......Jesse was LITERALLY on the balcony when King got killed, under FBI/CIA surveillance most of his life and these internet Malcolm Garveys think they did more for black folks because they got wifi access. Jesse and AL sold out for a check but at least they did it when they were senior citizens.

You need to gain some perspective. Al and Jesse have outlived their usefulness but before social media, if there was an injustice you couldnt just tweet out something. Jesse and Al was there to bring awareness. I wont even bring up 60s-70s Jesse when he was out there in the trenches. 80s-90s Jesse and Al was damn near the only voice the common black folks had to put their message out there. Just like anybody else, they got old, took L's washed up and became all about the check. But it is what it is. Jesse by himself has accomplished and done more for black folks then you ever will i guarantee you that.


Especially when you type drivel like this



Who are you the messiah? :gucci:
This is issue and John Lewis uses the same talking point. I respect MLK and he was great. My point is, what have they done recently? I have had heated debates with my father about this. You don't know me or anything about me. So, for you to say what I will accomplish is a weak talking point :manny: I've stood in with the poor and been there first hand to feed them. Also, I've been involved with canvasing and volunteering at the poll booth :manny: Now, is the problem right now. Especially, with systematic/institutional racism. Remember, when I brought up "oligarchy" to you? You said it was a cliche and etc basically doing the

around the issue. Listen, our communities are in dire horror. I live in a working-class area, but these inner cities are bad. The infrastructure is falling apart and most of these people have been neglected. Yes, I take huge issue with exploiters and oligarchs running our communities with their policies. Brotha, oil pipeline companies are trying to build pipelines to poison our water. They are doing it to the Native Americans and Gullah Geechees.

We are discussing the crises in the United States NOW not in 1940, 50, and etc. Is that history important? Yes. However, they use that as a strawman to reel these people in and lie to them. The exploiters are just as bad if not worse than the oligarchs. Because they are agents.

Anyway, I want to address that issue of not doing anything. I've admitted that I've failed and other brothas like me. However, I plan to return to school for Human Services SO I can do community organizing and being a champion of the 99%/poor. So, I guran-damn-tee sir that I can do more than these people. I could fill the whole arena out for an honest message.

As far as me being a messiah :childplease: Always remember, "don't make checks that ya ass can't cash".

With all due respect on a serious note you are kinda

on this issue.

It takes economic power and political power to create TRUE change. Together, we are THE powerbrokers. Also, honest values and leadership is KEY to a productive community for the youth of today.

Very very few Black people in America could put their résumé against Sharpton's or Jesse's in terms of action for our freedom justice and equality.
Did theses brothers ever try and help Sharpton and Jackson?
They know so much about Sharpton's history, but they're out there imploring him to change his message and methods after all these years.
This was some, "let me clown him on camera and get a notch on my belt" sh-t.
If nothing else, that's not how you approach and dialogue with your brother.
Corny as hell

Im not even addressing the other parts of your soliloquy. Because this right here needs some attention.

How the fukk are you gonna lecture anyone else about economic power when you dont even have a job fam? You dont own property. You dont own a business. You dont have stocks. You dont have a portfolio. You dont have any investments. You don't have a 401k. You dont have a education. You probably dont even have a bank account. You dont have any children. You sleep in your childhood room with NYSNC posters and your only contribution to the world is message board postings. How you gonna lecture a educated father, a homeowner, stockholder, and a small businessman about ANYTHING?

You havent even lived life to drop anything on me of substance and value. You flip flop from Trump-Bernie-Stein-Bernie....in a span of two months. No disrespect but you dont any idea about how life even works. You have no concept of HISTORY. You just pick up small phrases like "oligarchy" and parrot them to seem enlightened. Your opinions change and you these great epiphanies depending on how the wind blows. Newsflash: you are not the smartest guy in the room, you not reinventing the wheel, your not gonna change the world, and until you can even afford the paper to wipe your funky ass with, your not even a fully grown man. Just a lil nikka on the internet who thinks you got life figured out. You dont.

Again, with all due respect I'm 22 and I have to crawl before I walk. You bring up a good point. I do have stashed money, but I don't invest in the stock market (reasons that it's a huge risk). However, my point is that we have to create a coalition of likeminded people. Sir, Oligarchy means an institution or organization controlled by a few. I'm an average guy who wants to make change. Like I said, we need to join together (general term) and fight for change. Look at the Cubans and other ethnic groups. We have to call out people that's exploiting our people. I respect that you own your own business. Never did I attack you. I just stayed with the issue of the discussion. These people are using us for their gain. That is true and I've personally been inside these inner cities. Trust me, it hurts to see low-income people of color live in those types of situations. Also, these landlords don't care because they are slumlords. They only fix the issue before the inspector or real leaders show up.

No malice at all and if you felt disrespected those were NOT my intentions.

The ways of doin things Sharpton nd JJ have been doin things the past 40 yrs are outdated nd have gotten us NOWHERE. U cant reason wit the devil. Their accolades they achieved back in their heyday should be respected nd commended but these cats are not revered by the younger generation because we've seen thru their shuck nd jive. Elders are still hypnotized by past deeds. Strong...no bs...confrontational brothers like the ones pullin his card are needed in the black community. They just need to be coached on their etiquette. U notice these news outlets will never bring on a strong, intelligent, masculine type ngga to debate. Its always these passive aggressive type cats

The same 80's in Wich AL was snitching to the feds as exposed by the FBI. The same AL Sharon that backs down when you donate to his organization? As told by Bill O'Reilly

The same Jesse Jackson that called Obama a nig on Fox news then went and cried at the inauguration.

Ya these dudes outlived their time a while ago. People have been dismissive of Sharp-tongued being an informant but it's a big deal.
