Black Community Leaders Pushing for Brown Equality, but vice versa?

[AuntAnniesPretzels]

it's not reciprocated, we know it and we quietly accept it, we're not suppose to openly talk about it...even now i know there are dudes wanting to neg you just for mentioning it.

Yup. One of the posters in here is Dominican, we got brown mods, they infiltrate black oriented social media pages, lurk and come out of the woodwork only when the topic of anti blackness among brown people comes up. It’s a losing battle trying to argue this.

Black - Brown alliance = Lies
Black - Jew alliance = Lies

We need new leadership then. Leadership that will preach self reliance, and not stupid coalition's with people that generally hate us and want us to disappear.

To many in Africa, President Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias and the Bolivarian revolution are a mirror to a dearly held past of dignity and struggle in our own continent and a reminder that, despite losses and entrenched systems of oppression, revolution is still possible.

Hugo Chavez was the first president of Latin America to declare himself of African descent. In an interview with Democracy Now in 2005, Chavez reaffirmed the importance of his and Venezuelan peoples' historic ties to the continent, stating:
And one of the greatest motherlands of all is no doubt, Africa. We love Africa. And every day we are much more aware of the roots we have in Africa... Racism is very characteristic of imperialism. Racism is very characteristic of capitalism.

Similarly, Venezuela's solidarity support to African Diaspora communities in Haiti and the US, ..., reminded us that principle can stand firm and act.

Rest in Power Chavez, never heard of him but that takes a lot especially from Venezuela

it's not reciprocated, we know it and we quietly accept it, we're not suppose to openly talk about it...even now i know there are dudes wanting to neg you just for mentioning it.

They are afraid

 

[TL15]

Sometimes we as black people are too easy and willing to lump ourselves as “people of color” and allowing all minorities to take advantage of our plight.

Meanwhile Asians are suing universities for letting black kids in over their kids

you consider envy and charlamagne to be black community leaders ?

To a certain degree, yes

 

[Child_Of_God]

Fidel Castro.

 

[GreenGhxst]

Charlemagne and she envy are not activists wtf is wrong with you

@thatdude are you referring to actual activists or people on Twitter? And umar is a joke

I’m on Twitter everday

For one there's nothing wrong with me, I share a different opinion than you

They have influence on black culture/society, they donate to black organizations and they promote black empowerment whether it's referring blacks to a business or having a community leader on their show

There's no hope

The situation of blacks in Latin America says it all.

Some of those countries do claim to embrace African influence, but at the end of the day blacks are not on equal footing in any of those countries in terms of representation in the wealthy and powerful elite class.

Tbh no group truly views blacks as their peers, it's crazy that some of our people still don't realize we're despised everywhere.

 

[Off the Onion]

Hugo Chavez

That's the best you got

 

[ultraflexed]

Is it really that common to see "black activists" speak for "brown people"?

Watch msnbc, it's on a daily basis

 

[Mandarin Duck]

To a certain degree, yes

I mean we can pretend like they aren't but there are more black people listening to what Charlamagne has to say than Roland Martin

The black-jew alliance was actually a thing, at least during the civil rights movement.

 

[Elle Driver]

It’s bullshyt if they cared they’d do something for the blacks in they country.

The black-jew alliance was actually a thing, at least during the civil rights movement.

Jews held to much control over the movement. The alliance fell apart when brothers kicked all non-blacks out of Sncc. There were also latinos involved in Sncc to.
