Quote from Malcolm x: Look around today, in every small town and big city, from two-bit catfish and soda-pop joints into the "integrated" lobby of the Waldorf-Astoria, and you'll see conks on black men. And you'll see black women wearing these green and pink and purple and red and platinum-blonde wigs. They're all more ridiculous than a slapstick comedy It makes you wonder if the Negro has completely lost his sense of identity, lost touch with himself.
Reminds me of something I heard today when I was in the gym.
My friend who's a bus driver for Septa is going on vacation to Miami & him and some friends were planning on renting porches, phantoms, & a bunch of luxury vehicles to stunt for the weekend. Obviously very expensive. They all have stable 9 to 5s and me I'm basically run my own business as DJ/producer/graphic designer still really trying to get my life together and actually own shyt. I probably wouldn't rent a luxury vehicle for a weekend even if I had it to spend but that another thing……Anyways I tell one of them I'm trying to get my life together and & one of them says "You're black it's gonna be a LONG WHILE before you get it together", the other says "real shyt" and I'm just likeIt's like people are already defeated.
Don't feel down breh history has proven the impossible is possible we came here as slaves who couldn't read or write now our culture is a global phenomenonand this is true to this very day.
Black people think the answer to our problems is to educate the entire Black community and dress neatly, and talk properly and White people will finally start seeing us as humans.
our people are literally out of their damn minds and our condition can not improve as long as we're under the thumb of white supremacy.
too many Black people are ignorant to how white supremacy works, they don't understand just like the Black people who built Black Wall St don't understand that White Supremacy can't afford Black unity and functional communities.
they don't want us independant which is why they destroyed our communities and created welfare programs so the government could be the father in the household while the black men were incarcerated.
the government flooded Black communities with crack cocaine to intentionally destroy us and we still got nikkas runnin around talking about Black people are their own worse enemy.

Fix your damn families first and stop having baby mommas. No amount of policies, reparations or "fighting" will fix anything if half of black kids don't know their daddy.
American black people maybe, not africans.As much as I want us to succeed, I feel like too much damage has been done. There's no reversing it. And I feel like there are a lot of vices still in place to keep us totally lost. We do, do a lot of things that hurts us, but I feel like if we were to get it together, that's the beginning of a new Race war.
So many of us are on totally different pages. Some of us are ready to fight, some of us want to keep trying to fit it, so of us don't even know there's an issue.
I don't know man. How can you passionately fight a war you know you can't win?

We're in trouble. I made a thread about this back when this site first came into existence.
If it's true that 60-70% of black women are single, unmarried.....all of these women wont have kids. And once they get past 30-32, many of them dont want kids.
Sure some of them will have kids by some man who leaves them, but by & large the ones who are educated, stable career, unmarried won't have kids. And those are the ones we need to have children & build successful families.
But at the same time, on a general level I still feel black women & black men don't get along like we should. There's a disconnect between us and it's been that way for many years.
Best believe nikkas raised or born back home are not wasting their time/effort on the shyt I see nikkas born here in America doing. They are busting their asses at school and work, not trying to be the next Gucci Mane or the next Derrick Rose but the next Kitaw Ejigu or Mark Dean.
ok but for what though? at the end of the day its about money and that money isnt green, its white...you people cant be blind to the fact that white people run this shyt in and out...at the end of the day white people got us by the tail...this is a white mans world nowBest believe nikkas raised or born back home are not wasting their time/effort on the shyt I see nikkas born here in America doing.
