Anyone else tired of 9/11 rememberances?

Ayo @skeetsinternal, can't disrespect that impact of that day, breh. Our modern day Pearl Harbor.

Nikka, I worked in the Pentagon (on the hit side) and because my contract was ending at the time I went to a job fair in Bmore, I missed the 400 mph bullet hitting my cabbage son! A fukking job fair save a breh.

Not too mention my brother was in the building but was in the center ring so he lived.

A nikka lost many friends.

Yea my condolences. I visited the Pentagon recently and saw the memorial and the big arch. I also sat on those many benches and dipped my feet in the water as I prayed for those lost souls

One of the biggest lies televised...

It's frustrating those families had to go thru that for a reason to enact laws...for a reason to set up shop abroad....for a reason that had nothing to do with the defense of the people that trusted them..

Exactly. You bring up slavery and people will shame you and tell you to "get over it" or "stop playing the race card"

 

[Ronnie Lott]

So you don't even give a shyt about the many innocent black lives lost?

Do you smirk at the sight of this brotha here?

Maybe just collateral in your blind hatred of the system?

I think you're missing the point

The Tulsa riots where 3000 blacks were murdered, Rosewood were blacks were hunted by whites are worthy of the same type remembrance...., so is Pearl Harbor but I wonder why we holding onto 9/11

americas still fukking with sandcacs so the gonna prop this up until they on to the next target

Exactly. You bring up slavery and people will shame you and tell you to "get over it" or "stop playing the race card"

There were blacks that lost their lives in 9/11 too

No. it's important for generations to come to know what went down so they can take the precautions near carry to prevent such events. You should never forget where you come from or what happened to you as long as you live on this earth.

I'll never forget that day. I'm from New York and we lost some family friends that day.

Seeing my parents visibly shaken and the kids at school sobbing uncontrollably because their family members worked at the WTC will be forever seared in my memory

Me freaking out because my dad was supposed to have a meeting in Lower Manhattan that afternoon...

You only experienced a tenth of the horrors of that day if you were not in Manhattan

 

[Ronnie Lott]

There were blacks that lost their lives in 9/11 too

What does that have to do with people shaming black people for bringing up slavery

 

[AAKing23]

Tired of hearing bout that shyt but I gotta admit this shyt changed the country, shyt ain't been the same since


Livin in NY or NJ made this shyt surreal, seeing the smoke from your apartment building

 

[Xane Vic]

Didn't give a fukk then, damn sure don't give a fukk now...

ha, shyt didn't exactly stop racism...

 

[Phoenix_Knightly23]

A plane did not hit the pentagon

 

[PhonZhi]

9/11 happened more recently.

Also the racist exclusion of the Tulsa and Rosewood histories from textbooks, and the following residual affect that occurs on people today, who may have never even heard of it.

It's unfortunate as hell, of course. That kind of stuff like Tulsa needs to be brought up more.

 

[Drake's Tan]

some teenagers today werent even born to witness it

Many 9th graders this year weren't alive. Mind-blowing.

 

[Sk3ptical]

naw, my uncle worked in one of the towers n because he's black n usually running late, he escaped being killed that day.
