It's crazy how some people know NOTHING about politics.

Myopia. And, I suspect on some level, this is how things are designed to be. I am not a conspiracy theorist, so maybe designed is the wrong word.....but, maybe just myopia, and capitalism are the perfect combination to continue the path we are on, of inequality and am ever expanding class divide. A nation of people who work 40 hours a week in some menial task, want to watch football all day or drunk in the clubs, or whatever....politics, social issues, local, national, and international current events just aren't relevant to their day to day lives. Who wins? I mean who really wins.....yeah you get to watch your favorite team of multi millionaires win or lose, or get drunk in the club, and take IG/snaps of your bottles.....but the economic forces at play continue...so CEO's get 45 million annual salaries, and zero hour contract jobs and shared economy jobs get pushed on the public....they watch their stability and small comforts erode further, work harder for less, but they still have their games, they still have their clubs, they still have their bars....

Yep. I also suspect why many people push for STEM majors so hard, but not know the 3 main branches of government. It's crazy how many of these educated people refuse to participate in local politics that affect their everyday life.

Some people are so innately selfish that caring for the upcoming election is meaningless, as long as they can make money and stunt on IG.

I'm black. Politics have nothing to do with me. I'll focus on things that are in my control mainly myself.

I'm sure you care when they officially establish Jim Crow 2.0 with black codes in full effect.

Like, how do you live day by day in this country without even the most basic idea of the shyt or how it works?:dwillhuh:
Doesn't surprise me; cell phones, 9,999 TV channels, we are talking more about Cam Newton/#oscarsowhite than Flint water poisoning 100,000 ppl, etc.

Then add to the fact ppl work 8.5 hours a day (+overtime). 2.5 kids. Bills.

They are plenty distractions.

Whenever people dont understand just how important at least knowing the fukking name of your alderman is, I know that they are the least helpful type,of folks when shyt goes down. Who is your police chief?
The superintendent? Familiar with your local chamber of commerce?

The people who dont know these things are of absolutely no help when there comes time for action, whether dealing with police corruption or something as simple as getting small business loans. Knowing names at least lets you know who to harrass when shyt isnt getting done.
ol city counsel meeting ass nikka. Nobody got time for that bullshyt.

There's this thing called Google. You can find out how to do literally anything.

Everybody is diferent breh. Honestly, i could care less about politics

Ive always loved sports. Its kinda weird to me for a man to know nothing about sports, but i understand everybody has different interests

Im obsessed with music also. There was a thread made a few days ago about people who dont like music. Thats mindblowing to me, but it is what it is:manny:
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a clear illustration of why Black people are dominated world wide.
