Am I a c00n if sometimes I find it more healthy to SOMETIMES block out racial issues?

[Dr. Acula]

Please pay attention to the emphasis to sometimes.

Anyway, sometimes the racism and racial issues in this country really impacts my mental state negatively. It's frustrating, depressing, and at least in the current period also feels hopeless. Just an amalgamation of things can cause me to feel really despondent regarding the black experience in America. This is not to say I don't do my part to help myself and other black people in my life to rise above and do for ourselves he best we can. However it is a mental task to constantly be "on" and awoke and aware of this bullshyt on a constant basis to the point you can't even watch a movie or just enjoy your one and only life on this earth to the fullest by fully engaging in what makes you happy.


As a result, I find I have to "shut off" and immerse myself in my hobbies that are not tied up in this shyt as much. Anyone else find thy have to do the same or is this some c00n shyt to some dudes lol?

 

[Dr. Acula]

Should add that the latest trigger is regarding that trump spokesman responding to the criticism of trump addressing black folks at an all white rally and how he should have done a photo shoot in front s burning car.

Got to get out of this country. It's tiring to know you live in the same country with these demons.

Nope. I take breaks from stories too. I work with too many cacs. I cant come in the office about to curse everyone out or get into fights, not a good look

 

[Worthless Loser]

Uh, anyone that calls you a c00n for that is an idiot. Don't get wrapped up in this Coli Super Militant shyt. Otherwise you'll be miserable. What you're doing is perfectly normal. A lot of people do it.

 

[Blackout]

The reality is that most people are always on when it comes to race issues. Not being on all of the time is not the norm since its shutting off your brain basically.

Most of our people have been programmed to be off via whitewashing so this is new to you which is why you are struggling to adjust. Many of our people also cant accept that this country isnt really the utopia that white supremacy brainwashes you into thinking it is.

Ignorance is bliss

 

[At30wecashout]

Nah. I know my days are a lot easier when I focus on getting my shyt done than the overarching climate. White folks dont fukk with me in any sort negative way...or anyone else for that matter...on the regular, so I have no need to soapbox. Discontent with the system isn't going to pay my bills, take care of my mother, invest in my businesses, etc.

there's no time to take time outs in a war.
a war on the consciousness of our youth.
and battle after daily battle and war for survival.

I find that for the average person this will lead to slight insanity. Even soldiers are rotated for R&R every now and then because they will burn out and be less effective in prolonged conflict and this still does not prevent mental issues developing.

We aren't cyborgs ... At least not yet.

you've been unplugged from the matrix OP. There's no going back

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

Nah, you have to in order to keep your sanity...

What's that quote....a state of being awake is a state of constant rage or something like that. Well that's true, but at the same time you have to be able to find peace and enjoyment in the little things in life. Stress is real and it causes real harm to your body if left unchecked.

Video games for example, I'm not gonna go out my way to shut off a good therapeutic hobby because of who makes and distributes them. shyt isn't that serious. I tend to "turn on" when shyt actually happens that has to be addressed, your typical Mike Brown or Eric Gardner situations.

 

[Worthless Loser]

Negged for your wack ass screen name and for you supporting c00nnery

@Ronnie Lott

Provide receipts that I support c00nnery.

 

[old_timer]

yeah, let's eschew our responsibilities and basic hygiene..
spend the day making 100 posts to thecoli
telling other people what they need to be doing

if someone bothers to call out our bullshyt
take a 10 minute break,, let that thread slide away
then open a new topic and repeat our refuted talking points like nothing happened

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

Also remember that Coli gets a bit out of control with the c00n label. So you have to take a lot of their examples with a huge amount of salt. We're seeing REAL examples of ACTUAL c00ns, people who are being used as agents to cause chaos in the black community. Not some lame shyt like thirsting over big booty white girls on IG or some mundane bullshyt, but actual c00ns trying to dis-harmonize us, like David Clarke or Stacy Dash.

You're trying to run from facing the harsh reality of racism and sorry bruh, but running and being In denial won't change anything

I wanted to make a thread about this myself, I hate the term militant though because it's dismissive. If you call black people tired of being shytted on literally 24/7 in this country militant, I'm going to assume you have Stockholm Syndrome, you simply don't mind being treated like a 2nd class citizen, or you may ultimately be a c00n. With that being said, being racially aware is draining because a majority of black people simply don't get it and whites are the devil but you can't get away from them.

I depend on the white man for my food, clothing, and shelter so wtf can I about it at this moment? Nothing! So I have to leave the house and deal with subtle racism for 18 hours out of the day and do it with a smile. I have pretty much given up on black empowerment all together, I'm a slave and outside of extreme threats of violence where I have no choice but defend myself and my family, I'm defenseless. Black people will never be anything but a stepping stone in this country for everyone unless EVERY SINGLE black person in the WORLD decides enough is enough but that will NEVER EVER happen so why stress about something you can't control.

All I do is make my slave quarters as comfortable as possible and I will never see true freedom in my lifetime so fukk it. I will ignore the racism as much as possible and continue existing so I can feed my family until my head goes cold.
