Black People Need To Elect A Committee

[Francis White]

To get on code...without such we are all just individuals espousing our own opinions, which is useless without direction. White people have a code, it is unspoken but white Supremacy is the code they all stick to. They understand it, which is why cops rarely get convicted and black people fill prisons.

Muslims have it, via the Quran and sheikhs. When there is an issue, a governing body decides for the whole.

For example, we keep expecting white people to be reasoned with...THEY CANNOT. But you'll see on Twitter all day long black ppl pleading with, debating, trying to appeal to the greater good in white people. To no avail. They laugh behind their keyboards at our powerlessness and our naivety thinking they will ever agree with us.

Without this committee, we will never set standards for ourselves. Without standards we look like fools taking to the streets and rioting for each and every black person. Face it, alot of our people are not worthy of dying for. We can't win, elevate, or motivate without standards or a code...and we will never draw a line in the sand to say enough is enough...I"ain't fukkin with these people anymore". We are a rudderless ship tossed about without leadership.

I'm not talking BLM... I'm talking respected, intelligent, uncompromising and veriably trusted individuals who convene on issues and announce edicts for the people. In the meantime, we are just 2nd class citizens in America waiting for elected officials like the fukking CBC to speak for us. That only works for white people because it's a white government. Basically I'm advocating for a grassroots all black shadow government.


Think of the benefits...c00ns like Coleman Hughes and Candace Owens can be forever alienated from the community. People will think long and hard before opening their mouth because as of now there are no consequences.


Every nation has and needs leaders...our leadership needs to be consolidated from a grass roots level and respected. It's the only rational step towards freedom. It's logical, it's necessary, it's time.

You type a bunch of nothing for daps. Congratulations.

We already have what you seek. They are called a Council of Noblemen. This council has probably been at the helm of every major black movement with exception to BLM. The only difference is you didn’t elect them. They are self-selected.

Then how can they speak for us if we didn't ask them to?

I've never heard of this council I need to do more research.


Just think about the potential of directing finances and mass boycotting of businesses. We can ERASE certain groups from our community.

I live in Boston, so owning a car isn't necessary, though I'm still on the hunt for a 2009-2011 IS250 that meets my standards. I'd prefer one that was kitted out so I don't have to do it myself, so that's why my search is taking longer than usual. The car has to be kitted out, have no more than 2 owners, less than 100K miles, and a clean record. What did I say that was anti-black?

Are you autistic?

Whites are on code economically.

We dont have enough money without reparations to do this.

Whites get punished if they go against code or support blacks rather than whites.

If we can control our economics we can have a code system

This is why its so important. If we as a whole understood the importance of economics, for example black women wouldn't shop at Asian beauty stores. We wouldn't spend our dollars anywhere that isn't black owned. So we need our finances directed. Thus, we need a director.

You do, just not in the way that you think. They are a coalition of black business owners that you patronize, black mayors and city councilman that you elected, black college presidents that we entrust with the education of our youth, black religious leaders that we’ve entrusted for our spiritual guidance, etc., that come together under the banner of “black advancement”. When I say “self-selected”, I mean that their council is replenished by them selecting others from among their ranks.

I see all these “ideas” from Coli posters about what we should be doing and the fact of the matter is almost all the ideas put forth, we have already been doing. I rarely see anything new.

The issue with a “committee” is that someone is bound to state that “such and such” does not represent them. As is the case with our current “council of noblemen”. However, we are to varied as a group to be able to appease everyone. I’m a fan of Toure. Most of the posters on here hate him with a passion. They don’t think he represents them and is dismissed as a c00n. On the flip side, TN and Umar Johnson are worshipped on this board, and I wouldn’t entertain them, along with the other “YouTube Scholars” with a ten foot pole. I think that they are all jokes. So instead of us looking at the big picture and starting at what Toure, TN, and Umar are all have in common, black advancement, we crystallize into our little factions that call Toure a c00n and TN and Umar frauds and we never get beyond that.

Our current system looks at who is the most educated, who is the most successful, who can best articulate, and that’s how our current leaders are chosen. That system is also flawed, because of the potential for self-interest and self-preservation, but it’s the best that we have at the moment.

This topics reminds me of the most recent mayoral race. Many black Chicago south and west side residents supported Willie Wilson for mayor because they saw him as a successful black entrepreneur that cared enough about the community to put his money where his mouth is. Professional black Chicagoans didn’t even consider him as a viable option because, although a successful entrepreneur, he was neither educated nor articulate and what the professional blacks knew, that the poorer blacks didn’t, is that because of his lack of education and ability to communicate, no one would have taken him serious in addition to not having the skills to navigate a complex system like city government. The man literally sounds like he doesn’t have an education beyond elementary school.



So we’re stuck in this conundrum where who may be best for black people (and I actually think Willie Wilson was the best for black
Chicagoans) are not actually viable options because they lack other critical skills that are required for successful leadership. Which is why a committee based off of elections will never work because agreement across the board will damn near be impossible.

A committee based on elections would work fine, according to what you've said. Black professionals are a minority so their votes would be negligible.

One of several problems we have is that we've been led by people who have a stake in white supremacy, ie, the people who do well under their system.

Whites are on code economically.

We dont have enough money without reparations to do this.

Whites get punished if they go against code or support blacks rather than whites.

This is the other problem. You can't check somebody if you don't control their money.

Why are you so discouraging ??

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

a committee could work locally in small towns/cities/rural area

only thing is, much like the big cities, the local business/entrepreneurship class will throw themselves or their resources into any plans that reach on about economic democracy

Sounds very idealistic and not based on reality. The reality is that those with resources have a weightier voice. How would you expect to fund a new initiative when you’ve dismissed the base that has the most resources to contribute? Who are you going to go to? Whites?

If you’ve worked in any capacity where you have to fundraise to support initiatives, you understand that there is a balancing act that one has to do to keep benefactors appeased while also staying true to the mission. That appeasement typically means a seat at the table of decision making. Which means they have a weightier voice. That’s how it works.

Dismissing the voices within your ranks, with the resources, as being negligible, is hustling backwards because it will ultimately separate out those for whom you would need the most.

It’s a reason why Umar is still penny pinching to raise money for his school after all these years. He nickels and dimes a base that ain’t got money in the first place. Compare that to LeBron who was able to open up a school in less than a quarter of that time.

If they're the ones who've been leading us this whole time, keeping them around (including their resources) sounds like hustling backwards.

Why keep counter-productive people around, period, much less as your leaders?

I’m not sure who you are referencing when you say “counter-productive?” Who is that? I didn’t say black professionals were leaders. I said that we need their resources if we are to be self-sufficient as a group. The idea is to get people that can work with all groups within the collective and not people that will alienate to the point of creating factions. I gave the example of the Chicago mayoral race just to highlight the broad divide in ideas around who is “right” for blacks leadership between the disenfranchised in our community and the broader middle and professional classes of our community.

If you alienate and create factions that goes against getting people on code. Which means there is going to be a balancing act to satisfy all parties.

 

[George's Dilemma]

No. I like not having anybody telling me what to do and how to think. We're not monolith, and I like it that way. I'll never understand herd mentality. Judging by some of the sentiments on this message board a lot of you would jump off a bridge if a so called pro Black YouTube activist to,d you to do it. Now you talking bout a committee? What happens when you disagree with this committee?

I hear you. What I'm saying is, if these are the people who have been leading us thus far, fukk em. Objectively, they've done a terrible job. If we have to lose access to their (meager) resources, fine. I'd prefer a loss of resources to a loss of direction. We can make up the resources.

The nerve of you bringing up code system when you had no code to begin with. I’ve seen a lot of people on here run with a placebo mentality; your mind reacts to whatever is received and depending on how well the reaction is received, that’s what you go with. People like you are part of the problem - dilutes the credibility of the cause. Now when black people with consistency in their beliefs have ideas or concerns; it’s not seen as legit.
