This is a clear example of the fissure in our community.:francis:
No it is not. People having a difference of opinion how to handle things is NOT division, especially when the end result is the same. That's part of our problem now. Someone not down for the same cause as you and they are a "c00n". That's not how it should work, imo.

You can have a difference of opinion, that's not the issue.
Clearly, people are tired of seeing black men/women getting killed in the street with impunity and walking away like shyt is Gucci afterwards. So for Lyfe to say Banner is "crazy", "stupid" for wanting people to arm themselves is just as reckless. There is a clear divide in the black community.
People want to pacify, "let's all get along", pray for peace
People want justice, protection, unity from within the community.
This shyt has been happening since the damn plantation.
Banner is going down the lines of what Malcolm X(clearly he is not him) wanted for blacks.
We are going to start learning self defense, arming ourselves and if you bring the shyts, then be prepared for the wrath.
Nobody is seeking violence but just know if you come for us then we are coming for you.
I can't understand how people fail to see the rage that's been bubbling since Trayvon. It's only so long a dog is going to let you kick him without either:
Attacking
Walking away.
Black people have every right to arm themselves for defense(2nd amendment) but even still they are being killed or falsely accused of murdering cops. This shyt is mind boggling.
If you can't see the line that has been drawn in the sand, I don't know what else to tell you.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
He was talking no different than what the black panthers did.
I've spoke on this 100 times already

The panthers put their MEMBERS through extensive gun and law training before even letting them get a gun and police their neighborhood


At no time were they recklessly telling every random nikka in America to go get a gun and clap back in retaliation


My uncles were panthers. From California at that

And even with all that training, the fbi wiped them off the fukking map with no trouble at all.

Like others and lyfe said. That's stupid and crazy. We see how that plays out. With the FBI and if need be, military mowing us down. Children too. With no fukks given



We need a better plan than that

I am not failing to see the rage and I'm not saying David Banner is wrong and Lyfe is right. I'm saying that disagreement in itself DOES NOT equal division. The only time that it does is when people choose to write off those that don't agree with them as the "enemy". Division is the Stacey Dashes,Wendy Williams', Raven Symones, Charles Barkleys, etc of the world. EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY GOOD RELATIONSHIP has disagreements. We need to learn to embrace them better without completely disregarding each other.

Banner aint doing shyt but saying what these militants on here be TRYING to say...


But i agree with Lyfe... For now. Blasting cops left and right isnt going to help but neither is ifle protesting, singing hymns, crying, etc.

Show that we can bear arms... Go the Malcolm X route to a certain degree.

But I understand where Banner coming from... But taking money out of businesses is a better idea imo. Citizen Bank had 8000 new members sign up since Banner and Killa Mike brought it up on the radio and social media and it should be more. I plan on doing it as well
Can you imagine if all these other MORE RELEVANT AND POPULAR rappers started glorifying and promoting black economics and unity in their actual music:wow:

Fight back? What exactly do y'all mean by that?

Is there an instance where a black man was killed by the police and had an opportunity to fight back? When exactly do you fight back? I've never seen a situation where there was potential for a gun fight with the cops. Usually it happens pretty suddenly.

Just trying to see how y'all are visualizing this working out in your head.

They'd become irrelevant overnight and hit with :flabbynsick: smileys anytime they're mentioned in the Booth.
False. We would just have lame ass posters continue to say dumb shyt like "2 chainz, jeezy, game and Jay z rapped about drugs and violence so they can't say anything positive now" :heh:

So what is the solution?:russ:
