Anything can seem not worthwhile if the focus is not kept on the long terms goals and the bigger picture. The big picture is survival as a people and preserving and building upon what blacks world wide have contributed to humanity in all areas of achievement. This includes the sciences, the humanities and all other areas of living. In my view we as black people will be wiped out in every way figuratively and literally if those of us who are awake do not stay unified as much as possible.
Being pro black is dumb

I'm more "conscious" than pro-black...like most things there are extremes to everything. I have no aspirations to be any type of social activist. What I do aspire to do is gain knowledge and wealth and spread that to my family. Once I do that I can worry about helping everybody else. I gotta get my shyt straight first. 
I'm sorry this gif is so bad its funny. Like whoever made this was barely trying.when you catch a plat thread in the making
@marcuz spitting that hot crack right now.
Okay...i just moved from Jackson Heights Queens bacm to Brooklyn today. Let me tell you something. It is primarily mexicans, asians, and indians out there. Next to no white people and next to no black people there either.
The corner stores are owned by whom? Mexicans, asians, and indians.
The clothing stores/restaurants/businesses are owned by whom? Mexicans, asians, and indians.
Lets go to Crown Heights now.
Aside from some barber shops, some african soap/oil bookstores, and some restaurants...the majority of the businesses are owned by arabs, indians, and asians. But in general...not black people.
I think the problem with @TheRealfG s post is one I've noticed amongst black folks in America. Its as if we've somehow been deluded into thinking that race first is racist. Or that there is no point in keeping black business and the black dollar in the black community or building it up because
1) weve spent most of our lives giving our money to people who don't look like us so we're used to it.
2) weve spent most of our lives giving our money to people who don't look like us so we don't trust people who look like us to have our best interests at heart let alone trust them
3) weve been raised to believe that we should work on an individual level...as so others tell us (even though they work as groups all the time).
To say being pro-black is dumb is dumb. It makes us look even more fractured and willing to sell our souls to outsiders just to be a part of something that's already established instead of building our own businesses, schools, courts, governments, economies etc.
We all we got so you might as well be.

Truth.
White people kick that individualism schtck simply because they have an economy and infrastructure created by them for them to succeed. We don't. Adopting that mentality is suicide.
You can do all of what you listed without being Pro black, It's called common sense. You just proved what I said. People only push pro blackness when dollars are involved

Perhaps its not being problack that is dumb instead the meaning and even more so the execution. For me everyone with my complexion aint black. If their hearts, minds actions don't line up to my perception of pro blackness then i cant ride with them. I dont have hate for them or need to insult them juat cant agree so we part. But even with that being said i still want better things for those ppl if they are being persecuted, oppressed or mistreated based on their skin. By concentrating on the greater good with people with like minds i feel we can make a significant positive difference for our people. Cant worry about the ones faking the funk. Many times ppl have to see something being done before they can get on board anyway.

nah it just aint for everyone...pro blacks tend to be leaders,strong, smart and giving brothers/sisters deeply invested in their people.....too many nikkas are weak,selfish, lack dignity and ignorant so i don't expect them to be pro black
Too real.

The thing about other races is that they actually talk that shyt and back it up. They come together This is where our shortcomings are in my opinion.
We are great talkers but very little do-ers

Being pro-black is being pro-family if your family is black. Let's help each other win else we'll all lose.
What do all these people have in common; east asians, mexicans, south asians and even some whites that i keep preaching about that in my opinion some blacks don't take seriously; family.
All this talk about group economics is meaningless if you cannot manage a family. Dudes or women dont even know what it takes to maintain a relationship but want to talk about managing business. That's the disconnect i keep talking about. Many of these small businesses have husbands/wives/children/other relatives involved.
If family is not deemed important as money/building business all this black unity crap is a pipe dream.
When people speak of wealth accumulated over generations...they speak of families. Why? What you build together, you can pass on.
EDIT: This proves how the coli really works
Make a thread acknowledging pro blackness it gets put in the root
Make a thread attacking pro blackness and it can stay in the locker room
