It literally does not, you retard. Systemic racism exists and it is fact. To succeed as a black man in this racism system you have to benefit it. Also fact.

It is well documented. Not only do I not have to explain how something that is factual and well documented exists. I also don’t have to explain it to a willfully ignorant retard who cannot mentally process that.

You’re making the claim that the minority of black men who succeed in an exploitative system of black oppression and white supremacy do not support that system. It is on you to define how they are not sellouts and then provide proof that the majority of successful black men fall under that criteria.

You’re literally an idiot, I’ve already dismantled the very logic your argument and you’ve neither addressed your fallacious reasoning nor provided zero substantial evidence to the contrary. I’m dumbfounded with how boldly ignorant you are.

You are the dumbest member on this site.

You have made a claim. You have not provided a definition of what a brother who sells out looks like and, more importantly, you have not provided evidence that the majority of successful black men fall into that category.

You have not dismantled anything. You've made unsubstantiated claims and you foolishly believe no more is required because you are a retard.

Any challenges I face is literally nothing compared to what my ancestors went through so I keep moving forward and face them as they come :manny:

I have a code of conduct

I find joy and happiness from me and mines now.

A collective "we" is not in consideration anymore. I'm sorry to say but I can't deal with us and our continued problems on the daily anymore...I'm not a young man and only getting older.

I can only concern myself with my family and my boys to make sure they alright when I'm gone. And that, is increasingly, more of a worry than anything else right now :mjcry:

OP you living on hell and it has nothing to do with you being black. Fix your life

I keep everything Black as much as I can. Black wife, Black kids, etc.

Yup, gotta keep it moving.

If you ain’t got it by now you wasn’t getting it anyway.

Honestly I have a great life…:yeshrug:

I now realize the reason why my teachers had us sing this every morning from kindergarten through eighth grade.

They gave us a reason to wake up everyday and succeed.

Lift Every Voice and Sing written by James Weldon Johnson in 1900.

james-weldon-johnson.jpg


Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won

Stony the road we trod
Bitter the chastening rod
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died
Yet with a steady beat
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered
Out from the gloomy past
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast

God of our weary years
God of our silent tears
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way
Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light
Keep us forever in the path, we pray
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee
Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee
Shadowed beneath Thy hand
May we forever stand
True to our God
True to our native land
Our native land

Knowing the entire system is against our very existence and we are literally at the bottom of the racialized caste system hierarchy?

How does it feel knowing that most of us won’t make it out of poverty at worst and mediocrity as best, if we weren’t lucky enough to be born or put into position?

How does it feel knowing that even if you manage to make it out, you’ll have to sell apart of yourself and live as a hypocrite in order to maintain whatever economic means you have accumulated?

How does it feel knowing that despite however hard we fight, how much effort we put in, most of us will still come out at the bottom?

Honest reflections only. Don’t come in here, shoftshoe, and try to downplay the existence of systemic racism and the plight of the black man in this world. This is real life, not a fukking fairytale.


Your mentality is all wrong. All my friends and I are winning. Get ur mind right and sto focusing on the negative. Focus on your on what u want and you will achieve it. Might take some time but god and the universe will make u get there.

Do you cut off friends or family who have a negative mindset or have no goals on life?

I guess I just accepted it long long ago

I hate some of the ways that we get mistreated even in everyday situations like shopping in stores or job hunting or treatment by police, but it doesn't really register in my brain for things to be different for me.

I don't consider what a fair and just world would be like. Might as well dream about what Heaven is like or how living in space would be.

I just keep my head low and expect to get resistance from white people even for simple shyt that should be run of the mill.



The next step in truly becoming free is owning our own dominion on this Earth. Until we get that we will always be on the run

By being the change I wanna see.

Graduating from UCLA with a bachelors and a Masters in electrical engineering.

Moving back home to Nigeria after working in the States for a couple years.

Advocating to black people, especially those with wealth to STOP fukking marrying these white girls for goodness sake. Stay on fukking code. Myself leading by example marrying a native Nigerian and having full Nigerian children and turning them into world beaters.

No one man can do all that much but if you just do your part anyway you can you'll find some solace. I believe the future is bright.


Let us continue to populate the Earth while others breed themselves out of existence. Let us take back what was, what is ours. One day at a time.

How do I cope? I wake up, plan things and I accomplish them. The best thing you can do for ANYONE in this world, is to keep your head high. You want to help others? be strong, you want to make a family? be strong. You got to think about things higher than yourself, if you want to be achieve within yourself.

and lastly, the world isn't as against you as you think. It's just very fukking tough for all of us. There's dudes in here right now that'd lend you an ear if you needed (me included, and that's to any of you on here). We got sub forums for anything on here, bytches, money, gaming. And most of us are black.

It ain't over until they bang the gavel my guy
