So here is the deal. IMO....
shyt was set up like this before I moved here and these brothers are older and more focused and conscious that I am - so I'm basically just following along.
I just found out yesterday that one dude has a family name and link that goes back to the 60's, we control through agreements who moves in. Everyone looks out.. and beef is handled in a good way, because the person who would start it... has no backing - there is no thug culture. Zero crakkers. I'm the only one who even speaks to CAC outside of work.. and I have 1 white business partner that was questioned for even coming on the floor.
Point is.. when I moved in, one dude gave me a projector screen and projector. Another hooked me up with a deal on furniture. I already let a dude borrow some money. It feels like more of a community. I haven't paid for kush yet. Even a old dude as a bad ass daughter who is like 22, I'm not gonna even try to fukk out of respect - which is extremely unusual. Humans are like animals in a lot of ways and that feeling of absolute protection and safety leads to stronger communities.
sounds like a good setup... do you guys have plans to organize around something official? or you're already organizing on something?
as for the thread, if we're talking seriously about a black defense military we have to think about realistic objectives, government intervention, how to scale, how a black military fits in with our overall objectives, and perhaps most importantly what is the overall purpose.
who are we defending ourselves from exactly? and towards what end?
and there's also the issue of inclusion. how are you gonna have a black defense military but not include other people of color? how are we even defining "black" here? as you can see it gets sticky
you also have to think about your time and energy, and how much of both it would take to sustain this endeavor. you are essentially volunteering to militarize your life and your family's life... which is not a small thing. again, this is depending on overall purpose and scale of the operation and how seriously you take your military disposition.
but wouldn't that time and energy be better utilized getting organized around business and other financial issues in the community? once we get the money we can do whatever we want, and we wont have to beg the government for resources, we can do it ourselves.
not to mention, how we gonna have an army with no bankroll?

type shyt and move away and not put in any work. I can't even blame people. But for those who aren't on that... I would say group economics. I don't know all about group economics beyond some claud anderson speeches. The people 40-80 years old dropped madd balls and basically suck at life. So people around 25 or 30 would have to figure it out. We all have hustles n money so none of us have an issue giving it all to one another. I mention something, they give it to me...like my tv n projector. i saw my mans windshield was cracked, i had a hook up replace the whole shyt. its a circle.


c00nery, I know.
