Brehs, I can't get mad at these "c00ns" anymore...

[Huey Shootin]

I don't think McWhorter is a c00n per say since he's a liberal atheist but I think because he's a nerd, he's not gonna BS people on the statistics and why the statistics are the way they are. Us nerds don't fukk around when it comes to math, we have that shyt down on lock.


He doesn't care about offending black feminist when it comes to single motherhood or black achievement scores. Remember, he was a college professor at Berkeley too and seen firsthand how his classes acted when it was mostly black vs mostly white. He saw firsthand with real world experience how majority black classes had very uninterested students constantly who didn't take their studies seriously, didn't bother to truly absorb the material and were constantly turning in late or no work at a much higher frequency than his white students. These weren't poor inner city kids, these were black young adults from stable, middle to upper middle class homes at a highly rated selective university. They simply didn't have their shyt together.



He even wrote an article recently a few days ago saying black men are criminalized more than white people and he regularly writes for the Root. I don't think he's a Stacy Dash, just brutally honest so if you have thin skin or you only want to be told what you want to hear, you probably shouldn't fukk with him too heavy. He does have a white wife so there's that too.

So, he are a judgement about Black students' capacity to learn off the indifference they exhibited to white studies? I think a lot of Blacks, from elementary school up to college, are sick of being taught a curriculum that promotes white people and their culture. If there were studies that were tailored to the Black identity and experience, their response to McWorter would be s lot different.

I think it's like someone else who invoked The Matrix. We have to wake them up first. Once that happens, then you make the gesture of welcoming them within the struggle.

Easier said than done, though.

Your heart in the right place but hell naw. There are c00ns and newblacks who know who black people are, our accomplishments and potential but Still choose the other side because thats where the financial power is Now even if temporarily. They'll act like they've changed their ways after listening to you and others then proceed to get you lit up for another buscuit and head pat from mazza. The most you'll get is some remorse and apologies from them after you're already out the game.

I was with you till that part breh. If you let newblacks or c00ns take any part in progressive black unity efforts they will sabotage that shyt getting folks killed in the process.

c00ns will never be on the front lines to anything unless its the boot of their bosses ... I mean best friends. Like all losers, they will come along at the end, when the dust is cleared, and bring tales of their heroism.

Its about resources. In a war, a propaganda campaign is as efficient as any infantry. Until we start getting useful defectors, this will continue to be a stalemate, with the pro black eventually ceding power. c00ns are just white people who were born black.

Black people are not being taught their history.

it dont matter, these nikkas done have no backbone...that love living on their knees

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

I'm sorry but I'm not sorry, I put this shyt squarely on Christianity and are undying belief that "God will provide "

I watched a video earlier today of a breh, he wasn't necessarily talking about the black experience or racism, just going after your dream because far too many ideas that could've been are now buried in graveyards. At one point he asked "Why do we have to DIE to go to heaven?!"

shyt hit my soul

 

[BasketCase]

As infuriating as it is to read and watch a Black man or woman excuse white supremacy, either by turning criticism to our own culture or outright defending a Darren Wilson, Ive come to the painful conclusion that their rationalization of cac hatred is a symptom of slavery. Black people, since we were brought here, have been conditioned to submit to white authority. During the days of slavery, free expression of thought among the Black collective was not only frowned upon, but met with severe injury or even death. And the fear that white reprisals to Black expressions of thought bred within our ancestors can be seen in these #newblacks and "c00ns." The same fright that let a Black crowd stand silent while an overseer (officer) beat one of their own to death, is the same psychological pathology that lies at the heart of excuses and rationalizations by our brothers and sisters for the genocide that a Michael Brown represents.

Black America is ill. Mentally. Physically. Deathly ill by design. Turning our anger towards the "c00ns" does us no good, because I know that they are afraid. They fear the same response that our enslaved ancestors bowed their heads to. Black unity is not exclusive to just Black people who have awakened. It must also include those who havent.

I disagree with this. Trying to change the minds of people who still don't get it even after all that has happened is a hopeless cause and not a good use of time and energy. It's better to spend that energy working towards a common goal with people who get it. It has to start with a small and strong group. Others will follow once they see results.
