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.
Black people don’t fight. That’s where you’re mistaken. We let white people grind us into dust and do nothing in return.

The resistance has always been there.

It’s just that a lot of the people in our community sell out, especially our leaders. And the ones who don’t get taken out.

They’ve drained it out of us as a community to the point where we are so confused and misdirected that we have the most smoke for another person who looks like us.

It takes so much mental capacity to process the duality we live in and not go crazy. I envy the ignorant sometimes :francis:

Honestly, it’s not affecting me directly 24/7 365. Neither is it really stopping me from moving forward. It just slows you down. It slows you down a lot. Depression is really an issue when you’ve slowed down to a standstill.


Most black people pretty much accept that we must work 10X harder than our non-black counterparts. Once this realization is reached, it just becomes a matter of problem solving. You need to do actionX to get to destination Y. So now you spend your time finding action X to get you there. No emotion to it. :yeshrug:


it’s funny how we work so hard, that others can’t even fathom it. I cold approached an Latina milf the other day and she was telling me all these random problems she was having, especially with white people. I couldn’t help but laugh because these were all level1 problems for black people. I broke down the back door solutions for most who her issues and by the end of it she was like, “but how do you learn to move like that? ” :ohhh:


@KingZimbabwe , are you going through a tough time? How’s the job search going?:lupe:
Job search is uneventful as usual. I don’t even get responses back like I used to so logically I don’t even see why I keep applying.

Gonna focus more on trying to build a network from scratch. Only way I’m gonna get anything.

OP really is in that Stringer, Rozay tier of posting. Confined threads would work better for him.

Read books that give examples of our mistakes and then read books of people who didn't make those mistakes.

The passages and scholarship our people left aren't for feelgood tokenism, but to correct what they couldn't in their time.

I’ve already dismantled the fallacy in your reasoning and explained to you in clear English how your entire position is not only biased, but wrong. Adding onto it will not suffice for the fact that you can’t even defend it beyond asking leading questions. The burden of proof falls on you to do the work to prove your incorrect biased assumptions of reality.

And then you have the nerve to be facetious with your soft shoe c00ning, in asking me to explicitly define what a “sellout” means. You sound like a CAC, you’re not ready for this conversation, it isn’t for you to understand :mjlol:

That’s for you to define :mjpls:

The burden of proof falls on you, you retard.

You are making the claim that successful black people are sellout. It is on you to define sellout and then provide proof that the majority of successful black men meet that criteria.

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.

So. Cal
Quit the soft shoeing.

The Black-white wealth gap left Black households more vulnerable

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/06/04/economic-divide-black-households/?outputType=amp

The median black household wealth is only 20,000 dollars a year.

Not only are you the exception to the rule, but you also shyt on your own people as if systemic racism and oppression is a choice.

You fit the definition perfectly.


Nah, u just a fail lame on the coli dap fishing. I dont shyt on those who try and get shut down, only those who complain and do nothing about it, like u


Im a prime example of this. Had a felony record and couldnt get into nursing school at first. Had to fight it , get exempt and stick to my guns. Most nikkas give up and hold grudges all they life. Thats weak shyt

Aight John Henrik Clarke.

Just because you were able to be in the right place at the right time. Doesn’t mean 99% of people in your position could do the same.

You are the exception, not the rule. Just because you “made it” doesn’t change anything.

I hate people who manage to find success and then turn around and act like Uncle Ruckus because the majority of black people are oppressed in this racist system.

So black people are just lazy and “give up” and “hold grudges” against the white man huh? :mjpls:

I bet money your wife ain’t even black.

What you Gon do about it though?

Everything you claimed is true, now what?

But you act like rich people from other races are going around helping poor people of their race.


The whole system doesn't give af about anybody not willing to get to a certain level.

Everybody has to network. Period

Choose wisely who you network with and most of the shyt you talking about falls to the wayside. You gotta help yourself first. And that shyt can be very hard.

But let's not act like only black people are poor when whites take the majority of social welfare programs.
