I see a #BBF group on here, just want to have an active group that really wants change on here, seems like a lot of groups on here usually die out over time, if we can get really serious, podcasts, networking with people in our cities, linking up with each other, then I'm all for it

Dz Ali OG...Pay me like you owe me!
Have hit a wall and been rethinking. Got too many things going and need to focus on this.
Got a breh who's good with database, excel on deck.
Been researching the cost of cards with the magnetic strip and
would probably have to start with the generic cards....but I just can't half step like that. People will want something thorough.Trying to get in front a few recognizable black people who maybe supportive. As if late strangely, my top choice was Dame Dash.
To get this where I want it will require more revenue than I can single handedly input right now.
Hell, I've even wrestled with the actual CODE the membership would endorse.
All I'm saying right now is to trust me on this and stay tuned homie. :smugcastro:PM me on what ideas you have, I'll start the group breh, tag anyone else you feel would be welcomed in the group and can contribute positively
While I understand your point, I fervently disagree. If all the African Americans in this country all of a sudden started fully embracing STEM over the next 10 years, what do you think will happen to the economic structure of this country and the value of privatization? Collapse. If every African American miraculously graduated high school and went to college and graduated, what would happen to the American economic system? Collapse. In other words, you can't fix a crack in the foundation of a house by painting over it; it will collapse. We exist in a system that prevents these scenarios from happening and in this current system of neoliberal global capitalism, the scenarios both you and I listed can never ever happen. You have to CHANGE the foundation for the house to stand strong and racialized capitalism, which produces and maintains staggering unemployment, crippling poverty, and repression of democracy, is the foundation for everything hindering black progress. it affects us more than any other racial class in America (Blacks are at 10.1% unemployment right now while America as a whole is at 5.5%) and this is a historical trend. And that's why my field (history) is essential to developing solutions to solving the crisis in Black America. I applaud all of the people getting graduate level degrees in humanities (my Phd will be in History with sociology speciality) because those social sciences provide models and paradigms for us to make real conclusions about our place in this country.
These conversations are important and I'm glad we are having them and like I said earlier, trust me when I say we will have these conversations without trolls, sambos, racists, extremists, etc. very, very, soon. Stay tuned, brother. :nasboss:

Well yes any group of people as oppressed as the African race needs it's Historians. Like the Jewish community takes great pride in theirs. We need libraries and museums like the Jews do to tell our own history the way it needs to be. The whitewashed version of our history doesn't tell you about Black WallStreet, downplays the rapes inflicted on black women, doesn't tell you about the Moors or Egypt(our rich history before slavery), and acts if Martin was some magical negro that fell from the sky that walked on water and separated the oceans like Moses. No, he had many great people behind him. They act as if Martin made the movement, when in fact the movement made Martin.
Now that we have the internet at our disposal this is no longer an excuse. We as black people need to start teaching the upcoming generation black history the way it was meant to be. If there is anything out there that they need to know you can just google it. You can buy any book online and have it shipped to your house in days. There's documentaries on black history that you can buy. There's Hidden Colors out there(before some crab in the barrel quotes me about "Tariq the Pimp," yes there may be some theories in there, but there's a lot of legit shyt in Hidden Colors.) There's African/Black history books sold on campuses.
Why math and science is so important for us though. Is the fact that our nations were colonized and victimized because we didn't have gunpowder. Most people use the cliche "Blacks are too inherently nice and forgiving" trope, but we just couldn't fight back properly because we were not technology advanced enough in weaponry. In no country do blacks manufacture their own weapons. As a matter of fact, we hardly build anything anywhere, and no black country has it's own navy or Air Force.
It'll going to be interesting to see once Obama gets out of office what direction black folks are going to go in. We can somewhat let the rest of this decade play out, then by 2020 we can start to gather an agenda and a direction. I can already feel the shift somewhat.
