The lion sleeps on the ground in the open cause it can.

The rabbit sleeps in a hiding place cause it has to.

Power cannot be given. It's only power if it is taken.

It doesn't matter what you have if someone can take it from you.

Et cetera

Fukc what Trump is doing. Fukc what ISIL is doing. Fukc what Putin is doing.

What are we doing?

Black people in America will never be 'free' until we find that something within that drives us to build.

We complain that the schools are not up to standard. With that wi fi connection your dining room could be a school.

I haven't done my Googles but where do they manufacture FUBU? I know got damn well that Puffy isn't making Sean John in Brooklyn despite all the 'where Brooklyn at' rhetoric.

0) (was gonna make this '1' but we're seriously this far behind)

UNITE! No more Hotep vs Moor vs Hebrew. No more 89% black vs 51% black. No more Breh vs Sist. No more house niqqa vs field niqqa. We need ALL hands on deck. If the person is down, then welcome. Here's a broom. Leggo.

1) Food.

Underrated as fukc. If any of the rest of this happens we'll need to be able to feed ourselves. From actual farms to gardens to windowsill/rooftop gardens across the map. If you can't grow shyt else grow some basil or some shyt. Every black person with any type of yard growing something.

2) Trades.

Brick masons. Carpenters. Plumbers. Electricians. Mechanics. Everyone should have a trade skill by the time they reach adulthood.

3) Education.

No more waiting for 'them' to improve the schools. Teach our kids. But first we have to teach the parents. And that's fine. Leggo.

4) Industry.

This is the biggie. This is why we need to think about food cause if this were to start happening 'they' could easily cut us off from basic shyt like food and water:

All black people like Oprah and Dre need to come home. If this niqqa wanna make headphones, make them in Compton. Pro Athletes need to build their own stadiums and staff them with people from around their way. JZ should own the record company. Not record label, the entire company that manufactures the CD or hosts the servers or whatever... and the server should be in BK being tended to by a niqqa named Peanut.

Usually people say it won't work. Oprah would never run her network from Southside Chicago. The NBA wouldn't let LeBron an'em start they own league.

Well this is what it would take for black people to be free. For our voice to matter. For our lives to be respected. We'd have to have our own shyt and be able to hold our square. We'd have to move as one and be able to regulate.

The corporations would fight us so fukcing hard. It might very well be a war to snatch those billions away from them and put them into the hands of ordinary black people nationwide. This is the factor that keeps the rich black people on the plantation. They are already comfy and "fukc the hood. I left the hood and I will never look back".

Can we have a thread about HOW to get on our feet, not about how stupid it is to think we can? I don't know much so you can disagree with my HOW. Just try to think of another HOW, and not just shyt on the idea.

I'm just sick of talking about what 'they' are doing. What are WE doing?

I respect your push breh, but the biggest hurdle in black folks' way from achieving such greatness is the Federal Reserve.

Let me explain.

People think it's through discipline and being shrewd that the Jewish community has so much concentrated wealth. This is a small part of it.

This is the stone cold truth. . . And remember it. . . Jews literally have this country's central bank on their side. I mean this in the most political way possible. I'm not saying that if you're a Jew the Fed just puts $1M in your account from birth. I'm saying that our banking sytem is geared to ease the restriction of credit to areas and fields dominated by Jews. Real Estate, Finance, Entertainment, etc. Lord knows what they do for Israel.

My point is this. . . BLACK FOLKS DON'T HAVE THAT! And any attempt to circumvent the Jewish monopoly on money will be met with violence and defamation through media.

My friend it's not only in black folks' best interest to smash such a system but it's in HUMANITY'S best interest.

Okay.

So it's totally impossible for

1) Black people to be able to take care of ourselves as a group.

2) The corrupt system to be circumvented at all.

???

Totally impossible?

Use your imagination Breh. Let's say you're writing a movie about some super lucky geniuses that figure it out...

HOW?

If the banking thing is your angle, fine. HOW would.. Tony Stark.. Bruce Wayne.. the Fast and Furious crew.. do it?

Damn. The silence is deafening.

As much as we talk about what's wrong. No ideas on the way forward?

I'll bump it this once.

These are just my thoughts....

The Diaspora overall needs to be more connected and do business together more. A sizable amount of Black men with the means would need to pool resources together (doubt this will happen though). I'm not rich, and i'd be considered middle class, but i have a clothing store...and i can say from experience that most black men around my age aren't interested in starting a business or group economics period, most guys are content with working for whites and spending their disposable income on shoes, clothes, watches, etc. It's to the point where people expect automatically expect black men to have a white boss. nikkas are fine with this, too.

Black ppl like to use the excuse that no black men in the country can afford to start businesses and that's just not true.....there are guys who have money and could put enough together to do something, it wouldn't need to be ALL their money, just enough.... but they just don't use any money towards the economic advancement of black ppl. It goes to clothes, shoes, jewels, weed, cars, etc and the companies we're giving our money to for these things are owned by non-blacks, so it does the black collective no good.

Which leads me to my next point.....we have to snap out of this mindset where we think non blacks are supposed to be the owners/producers and we're supposed to be the consumers/employees. Generally, even those of us who are considered more successful still have a white boss :francis: unlike other races, our most successful rarely link up with other black people in our circles and start businesses together and become the owners instead of employees to white people. nikkas don't want our own pies, we just want a small slice of a white owner's pie. Even though we need our own the MOST out of all groups of people right now.

Look at the NBA and rappers. Black men dominate those industries and yet the overwhelming majority of the owners are white. Same thing for all other industries in general outside of entertainment. The people who capitalize the most off our hard work/talents are for the most part always NOT BLACK.

Look at black communities across the U.S. Everywhere you look, non black men pool their resources and open businesses together, while black men in the area are the employees and consumers.

From the richest black men with billions (or millions) of dollars, to the black men in the hood working minimum wage...we REFUSE to band together, pool money and buy some shyt up together....we rather own nothing and watch each other depend on whites/non blacks for our needs...

Black men let other races of men come in the neighborhoods/communities and buy up everything, i've seen property that could've been fixed up and rented out to other blacks but of course non black men came in and bought it up. Just because some property isn't fancy doesn't mean you should just let it sit there forever....you can get the property for cheap and turn it into something of value....

When you buy entire blocks next to each other and fix them up, you automatically increase the property value of everything around it

We don't even think like that though

And we refuse to band together with other black people, for the greater good of black people
