Stats show a lot of things, including our disproportionately funded schools, longer prison sentencing, lack of access to resources, lower employment and pay. Yet, you ignore all of those and deny their effects on our supposed monolithic culture.
So again I ask, are you agreeing with white supremacists' assertion that we are inherently the way you describe?

Yes I understand that. I still find it hard to believe that in 2025 blk ppl can’t start businesses/communities etc even tho there are already some that exist. There are blk middle, upper middle class, upper class and prosperous neighborhoods and suburbs already. If a state/city/county doesn’t want to support you… ok pack up, move and rebuild. Or buy the politicians who can get the job done.
I still believe USA is the land of opportunity and you can gahdamn buy a town that’s for sale if you want.
I think ppl hold on to adversity/hardships and use it as a reason to not move forward. Yes they built highways… we can rebuild.
Even in Chicago, blk ppl have and have had some of the most pristine and beautiful neighborhoods but they’re not always valued…such as south shore in Chicago—there are some beautiful homes. But also dangerous.
Do you think there are any solutions?
See this is the problem. Everywhere else in america it's "stand your ground" "these colors don't run" "don't tread on me" but when we are faced with opposition we are expected to just pack up, move and rebuild.
I don't know if you've ever moved it's not easy or fun, even when you are moving up. These are people. They have to drive to and from places, some of them have children, they need to transfer to and from places. A home is more than just a shelter or a dwelling.
Attachment to a community is a good thing whether it's your high school, middle school, the local park, or some club, organization.
You can't even establish roots if/when every time you are confronted you just leave. Mfs are more than proud to say "I grew up here" "I've been coming to this mf for 20 years" "I've lived here for 20 years"
I don't believe that people have quit. They may acknowledge adversity and hardship and try to find other ways to implement or achieve their goal or move forward, but very few just give up all together.
A larger issue is people see a lack of progress and become an ally with the opposition, or an additional hardship.
This administration literally shut down programs and removed funding that would assist particularly black people with starting a business, and education. While creating and implementing a program that will assist Jewish people with starting businesses and education. But when a black person says it's harder for a black man in America to get education or start a business, a c00n will say "oh, that's the Jews fault? That's white people's fault?" Yes, yes it is.
There are a couple solutions and many resolutions all in motion at the same time. At the same time there's a multifaceted approach to dissolve or destroy us as well.

This is some weird energy in a time of the most anti-Black president in recent history. It's not an either/or. It's a both/and, and she's offering distractions to real systemic issues that are having direct impacts on people's lives. It's the whole pull your pants up victim blaming rhetoric that's been used against us for years. There's always been a Sexy Red type in music, every generation has one, and it has nothing to do with the government trying to shut down job corps, dismantling civil rights legislation, and destroying program designed to address inequality.

I don’t think that’s accurate. Groups/ppl/ and companies move all the time if they aren’t getting the results they want. Big companies left Chicago for Fl and Tx. Ppl left CA for Arizona, Tx, etc. the Mormons setup shop in Salt Lake City. Blk ppl migrated from the south and have been able to develop great neighborhoods
let’s say you’re right… what’s the alternative? so we should spend 100-200 years trying to get them to allow us to build in a particular area? Do you think it’s worth the time? I’ve worked on city projects and believe me brother, they want investment and development in particular areas. Some have cities have programs that really encourage and incentivize ppl and companies to build there. Being tapped in with those on the board makes a huge difference and can definitely speed up the process
And who said these things are supposed to be easy and (always) fun???
Businesses aren't people. And businesses and companies don't continually shuffle. A McDonald's or a Starbucks is going to stay in the same location for a minimum of 5 to 10 years.
Some person opening their own business does not have that luxury. So when crackers burn bomb their building, threaten their customers, threaten the lives of the owners. These people don't have the money or backing to just pack up and move.
I don't know how often you think the mormons and black people shuffled around the country before finding their footing. Once again, moving is exhausting. People have families. People age.
I don't think you can fathom moving from state to state to state before finally saying fukk it, I'm not going to run anymore. There's no safe place to run to. And yes there are pockets of great neighborhoods and schools and community, but only a fool would think fukking crackers aren't being fukking crackers especially in those areas
No. We shouldn't try to get them to do anything. This is what's wrong, people think they can convince them or that they need their permission. "If we just pull up our pants and stop shooting each other, they won't hate us
" mfs will spend their entire lifetime twisting, contorting, limboing, shucking and jiving, soft shoeing try to obtain the approval, permission and convincing white people and not do anything for black people. And at the end of their pathetic lives the only advice they can give is "well, maybe you should c00n too!"No one has ever said any of that. I don't know why you would even ask that.
I sat there waiting to feel outrage, and left agreeing with her.

Once again… over 100 years ago… a different time cuz even non blk businesses were getting extorted and having to pay “protection” feesBusinesses aren't people. And businesses and companies don't continually shuffle. A McDonald's or a Starbucks is going to stay in the same location for a minimum of 5 to 10 years.

No one has ever said any of that. I don't know why you would even ask that.
But it’s all good. I would really like to have heard some concrete solutions but it’s all good
I'm talking about today. If you opened a business in July of 2025 and crackers threatened you, threatened your customers, threatened your family, sent letters to your house, called the phone at the business and made threats, used the internet to spread lies, threaten and harass your business, how would you respond? Just close up ship and move, not only your business but your home? Just close your business and get a job working for someone else? Keep in mind you don't get any refunds on the lease, any loans still have to be paid, your licenses and permits are still good. What would you do?

So let me make sure I understand. You’re saying that if you’re blk, there’s a high chance of CACs threatening your business, threatening your customers, family, slander, harassment, etc and the way I’m interpreting what you’re saying is that there’s (more than) a 90% chance of that happening. Is that correct?
If that were to happen to me, I’d contact the authorities, hire security if it were that extreme…if the business is bringing in over a million a year with 10-80% margins it’s definitely worth protecting. If we barely scraping by…livin in the back of the business on $1000 a month with threats on top of that and the authorities haven’t done anything, then it’s time to move on. Just like if you tired of being at job that doesn’t value you and u ain’t got a raise. Move on even if it’s in another city instead of remaining stubborn hoping the company will change
Please remember there are all types of businesses… I find it hard to believe someone is gonna threaten your senior care and home healthcare business, medical device business, dental clinic, health clinic, security business, accounting firm, gardening business, plumbing, tree service, ups store, cupcake shop, online business, tire shop, delivering fire wood, power washing, painting lines on roads and parking lots…
I’d say it’s more likely to have someone try to scam u, come across bad business ppl of any race or a lawsuit… even then there’s insurance.
Or go out of business
And speaking about our black
neighborhoods (if thats where u choose to operate), bruh many blk neighborhoods are desperate for some amenities and life in them… many blk folks would patronize the business and support it depending on what it is. Businesses help each other that’s why you usually find them in clusters—foot traffic
And let’s not forget, you don’t have to be the face of the business. You can buy an already operating businesses
Like the legendary OG A.G. Gaston said, find a need and fill it
And if CACs are threatening all these blk businesses… that sounds like a business opportunity me. A security business that protects and advocates for black businesses
I hate to get anecdotal but many of my family members have been operating businesses—restaurants, senior living facilities, moving companies, medical devices, etc and they ain’t never told me about no gahdamn CAC threatening them. When I ask about their struggles and challenges, they say it’s hard to find good, hard workers. Or if they were new, they messed up their books. And a lot of white folks use their services- cousin got a chicken biscuit shop doing crazy numbers and 90% of his customers are CACs and he’s in a CAC neighborhood. Even when he was in the hood, CACs came to the hood for those sandwiches. His brother is doing crazy numbers with a pasta business in the hood serving blk folks and he’s doing extremely well.
Times have changed breh…
