Enough talk! The Pro-Black Action Thread

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

So what do you recommend for the non talented 10th negro. I don't have a collegiate degree, I'm older and still struggling, but wanna do my part as well. I fully own up to the failures I've made in life and would hope to guide others from a similar path. What can we do?

So I been getting estimates on getting my driveway repaired. A black cement guy was referred to me and I was gonna give him the job even though he gave me a quote 500$ higher than the messicans. If 500$ is the price to do business with my people then I can handle that. This guy doesn't come back when he said, I gotta call him 5 times for him to tell me his price and he was supposedly on his way to drop me off a written proposal Friday last week. I'm still waiting for that proposal.

This type of behavior is part of problem with a lot of our people out here. The Mexicans blowing my phone up done came back by the house twice and they want to make that money. The black guy act like I'm bothering him.

THE ONLY SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEM IS NATIONALISM.
BOYCOTTS ARE NOT THE SOLUTION.
MARCHING IS NOT THE SOLUTION.
SINGING 'WE SHALL OVERCOME' IS NOT THE SOLUTION.

OUR ONLY CHANCE AT SURVIVING IN THIS COUNTRY IS BLACK NATIONALISM AND BLACK POWER.

IF YOU'RE IN NY

COME TO THE BK NATION MEETING AUGUST 28TH 2013 AT 7PM 55 WASHINGTON SQUARE CHURCH

BK nation is not a Black nationalist group, but I want to have more like minded Black nationalist people THERE to chop up game with.

I'm all for black power and for black investment . But I want to know why Black Nationalism have problems with the Jews.

Thanks for chiming in guy.

With my experience with this kinda stuff, dudes who used to live the life and decided to turn it around are the best teachers.

First things: start reading. Library cards are free. Start checking out the newspaper. First book I always recommend is the Autobiography of Malcolm X if you haven't read it already. Be well informed and read about things that interest you. Check out some TED Talks and folks like Neil deGrasse Tyson on YouTube. Learning shouldn't seem like a chore.

Second: it's a different way of thinking about things but if you're gonna be an investment in the black community, start taking care of that investment. Eat better, start exercising. Get your family to do the same.

Third: starts with the family man. If you have kids or young relatives, put them on to some books or get them into sports or martial arts or some kind of after school stuff. Keep them busy and involved. This Christmas, try to get them something educational. Looked it up and there's a science center and some museums around. Take em to stuff like that. Again, if it seems like a chore or they get bored, try something else out.

Look up local volunteer organizations. Consider whatever talents you have an asset. If you played sports or know some kind of sport, try coaching. Depending on what you do for a living, there are usually black xxxxxx organizations you can get in contact with. I see there is a 100 Black Men organization in Birmingham. Contact them and see what they're about. You don't dig 'em, look somewhere else.

We aren't all meant to be Martin Luther Kings so don't worry about not having a doctorate. First get yourself straight, then your folks, then find a niche where you think you fit and go from there.

Good luck brother!

you can't do anything without being economically sovereign. you can't buy black if you don't have the money in the first place. you can't invest in private schools or academy's for our youth without the capital. you can't take care of a family without cashflow. the problem isn't leadership. the problem is basic money management and asset acquisition. we don't own homes so we don't have say in our communities. we don't buy stock or commodities so we don't understand why prices change in certain markets or how to benefit from them. these are all things that other groups of people have basic knowledge in. if our people were able to have a grasp on the most basic economic principals, we would already have the foundation for leadership. the reason most politicians and political organizations continue to bamboozle the black community is because they know we don't know shyt about money. they can make a blanketed statement about providing jobs and improving schools without giving us any details of how. they know we won't question it even if they did because we wouldn't have the intelligence to decipher the plan. money moves, and so does your literacy and understand of everything that fuels it when you are able to systematically analyze it and make it work for you. we're paper chasing and not paper pacing.

I don't have any issue with Jews, I have a problem with white supremacy and their system of racism.

 

[Bsmitty156]

Repatriate back to Africa

I honestly think if we had a progm like the Jews where you can visit say a African country for free and learn about your culture and heritage would help tremendously

I think a Coli crowd fund is in order

 

[Bsmitty156]

real talk. i've conversed with many white people that start their own non profits. the legal side of it is a little tricky but it's all based on technicalities and working the system (amurkkka the beautiful...). if you've got a sound message you can do anything in this country. support - for sure. but start your own

Local community business boards usually have workshops for business and non profit starting as well. So do major branches of libraries.

I think it's more important to support the ones that exist already though. I know a few black non profit owners because it is so easy today to make your own but not enough support. Find out if the needs you want to meet as a potential non profit owner are already being met/attempted to being met by others first. We don't all have to be the boss and supporters doesn't have to be stigmatized as meaning mindless followers.
