@Afrodroid you negged me, this is a convo, explain
What do we let go of?It's all mental. Whenever you're attached to anything it controls you. But its your mind attaching itself, so empty the mind basically meaning transcend the mind and you won't feel pain, suffering, etc anymore because you can actually see reality now. Whenever you're attached to something it blinds your ability to see clearly
Heaven, Nirvana, etc is what you want your mind to be.
Basically read ancient African spirituality books it will teach you the way. Meditation, celibacy is all key.
Huh? I never said I had a problem with it even though there is one. Being black has nothing to do with being discriminated against. Black is supposed to mean indengenious sub saharan african. That's it. In fact I'm saying it's less than that. Some people have never been discriminated against because they're black so it doesn't even hold weight in every situation.Blackness has been made synonymous with "discrimination" and bad treatment when it's much, much more than that...Is that what you saying?
Explain, if you not trollingI know how to talk to Cops. I don't get oppressed
How do you talk to cops?I know how to talk to Cops. I don't get oppressed
Be honest with yourself
How often to you feel oppressed or discriminated against?
I mean the opinion is if you're discriminated against in anyway or aren't white you can be considered black
What do we let go of?
Our blackness? our history? our loved ones?
How can meditation change the views of the oppressor?
Be honest with yourself
How often to you feel oppressed or discriminated against?
What are you expections of "fair" treatment and do you feel you are being treated humanely? How about others from your racial social group?
Do you feel your racism and oppression is "normal" now? Or do you find yourself uncomfortable daily?
Prejudice is always going to exist in the world period. This country was built on the prejudices of a people that managed to create a system of racism out of it. All under the guise of freedom and liberty. This generation has been shielded from the things our ancestors went through and so it's easy for us to talk big talk on our smartphones about how we would slap the white of massa if it were us.Younger people always talking shyt about "I dont know how slavery lasted as long as it did, If i was alive back then ...blah blah blah"
Why do you think these prejudices still exists here in this country? Younger generation believes that they stronger than their ancestor slaves were, so why are these prejudices here with all these strong black people around...
This is heavy.I understand where you're coming from with this. I feel like white supremacy is the main target. When black people take their focus of white supremacy they allow themselves to be distracted and to be influenced by unnecessary battles. We could be fighting forever collectively but our enemy is never going to really change unless we are capable of beating white supremacy.Absolutely. Look at our reaction to it. We have internalized our condition, in turn it manifests in self harm. Do you understand how tired we are of having to talk about racism/oppression? I even shifted my focus away from racism/oppression from "external" and selected black evolution/philosophy as a new outlook. I now mostly seek to dialogue with black men/women...but mostly men in a manner that revolves around quickly removing habits, ideas, and approaches that are "self limiting." In this aspect we will create a new "normal" for our existence and movement, rather than constantly obsess over the studied nature of a vile entity. I now understand that we have to remedy or destroy the oppressor/threat/useless within our ranks first. Its a constant ideological battle tho
c00nWS
Knowing we have compromised individuals that can destroy the entire legacy/effort/argument/movement/community/etc....is disconcerting to the point that I can't fight WS without waiting on the saboteur to come out of the formation on some"don't offend"or "I exclusively PAWG"
or
" that's not my situation"....and most recently some "I defend ignorance"
shyt.
Whatever tho.

Can i just say that barry sanders quit? Gave up? horrible exampleFirst off...if anyone is black in America than we all know that racism has been a part of everything we've experienced from the jump. You can't find a black person born and raised in America who hasn't had a white teacher say something slick to them (good or bad) that is racially loaded and made them feel singled out from other kids.
I think this topic is the gift AND curse of being black. I know someone is going to take that the wrong waybut literally we are such a strong people that we thrive when we know the deck is stacked against us. We are the illest in the world and they don't want us to shine. Being black is like breaking a tackle, shaking the safety, sprinting to the endzone one some

To be honest, (and this is going to sound dumb) but "being black" has made me who I am. I'm not a staunch believer that every white person is racist or that every white person wants me to fail...I don't subscribe to that rationale. But I am WHOLLY aware that the system is slighted against me and people who look like me. And I love fycking stunting on people's expectations that I have a BA and an MBA, that I drive a car that some people can't afford, that I am intelligent and hard working and damn successful, even though my nation would love for me to be a statistic.
We would all want to be treated better. But what makes us INSANELY special is that we achieve at high fyckin levels against all odds. They won't let us in their leagues and then when they do we take over the hall of fame. They won't let us in their colleges...and when they do we take over that shyt. They didn't want us in their boardrooms and in our lifetime WE WILL take over silicone valley.
Being black is the only thing I know. Good, bad, prejudice, discrimination, favoritism, affirmative action, section 8, all of it. And regardless of how unfairly I personally have been treated,it's the only life I've known. I can't ask for anything else.
Can i just say that barry sanders quit? Gave up? horrible example
You displayed a gif showing barry shaking defenders, on a thread discussing racism. i called out said gif, because i refuse to believe in quit. take it for what you wantWhat you got from what I said was that he quit? I wasn't talking about Barry Sanders. I was talking about a TD run. I really hope you aren't this dense and if you are please don't quote me again.
I'm one of those people too. Even when I'm "good" I can't just enjoy the feeling because I'll read about a black person somewhere getting shoot or hemmed up or fukked up by some cacs or non-blacks. It's hard to remove myself from the stuff that happens to other black people, like a nikkah getting lynched in DR bothers me and I don't even live or be in DR like that. A black person in South Africa being discriminated against in South Africa bothers me. I don;t understand the Coli black separatists or black Israelites. Any black person (real black person, not no c00n or non black claiming brown person) getting fukked up feels like a loss for my life personally and my families life. I just can't break that cycle or feelingWe've been oppressed for centuries so eventually we're gonna be desensitized to it.
Black people maneuver around cacs on autopilot.
We know our limitations instinctively.
Black people know the way they should behave around cacs in different social environments and scenarios.
Whether it be on the job or face to face with police.
to answer your questions in the OP(edit):
How often to you feel oppressed or discriminated against?
Any time I think about what our people are going through here and around the world.
Because I don't think on an individual level if something is happening in one black person it's happening to all of us. It's in the mode of possibility.
What are you expectations of "fair" treatment and do you feel you are being treated humanely? How about others from your racial social group?
I don't expect to be treated fairly because I haven't been treated fairly in the past.The very few times that I have been treated "fairly" it was a surprised. I have very low expectations every time I deal with cacs.
Do you feel your racism and oppression is "normal" now? Or do you find yourself uncomfortable daily?
The answer to this question is pretty obvious due to my previous answers.
