The masses are already so deeply and subtly enslaved across the board. There is no stopping it. A mentor told me don't fight it, fukk it. I've slowly been keying into that. Act well and keep good company, folks.
I'd ask what did our elders do but many of them didn't have the resources. I'll listen to this interview later

yeah early 2000. the black city council and the mayor, at first they co-sign him, pledge 30 million to the "African town"(black business district) but the Mexicans, arabs, jews, Chinese came together with some cac female and black female city counsel to stop it and basically saying its reverse discrimination, he playing the "Race card"For real?

What started as a strong, progressive plan by Detroit’s City Council July 14 to create a Black Business district to right the historical and present day wrongs facing the city’s majority underserved Black population has been weakened by a new resolution that bowed to pressure from opponents calling it “racist” and “reverse discrimination.”
“Incompetent leaders and naïve elected officials have allowed this plan to be weakened,” explained Dr. Claud Anderson to The Final Call. Dr. Anderson was commissioned by the Detroit City Council to prepare the report, “A PowerNomics Economic Development Plan for Detroit’s Under-Served Majority Population.”
“Blacks are locked in Detroit as a permanent underclass. These city council members pretend to be interested, but they help maintain the economic inequities. They would rather see the pain on Black people’s faces than be called a racist. They hide behind the myth of being colorblind and serving everybody rather than serving the people who elected them.”
The original resolution was vetoed by Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and that veto was overturned by the City Council. It received a 7-2 vote. The proposed district, to be called African Town, was to be financed with $30 million from three casinos. All that was left was for land to be allocated by the mayor.
Before the ink had dried, the plan had received criticism from immigrant groups and the dissenting members of the City Council, Sheila Cockrel and Kay Everett, for being “racist and reverse discrimination.” It was also called illegal and lawsuits were threatened.
When you make it Black versus another group, you lose sight of the real problem of Black economic development. Other groups have taken advantage of what we have failed to do, and that is to do for self.

According to the executive summary of the plan, “the centerpiece of the plan is the proposal to build a Black business district in the inner city, modeled after Mexicantown, Chinatown and Dearborn’s Arabtown. This new district would have industries and businesses built specifically upon identified competitive advantages and would be owned by the majority underserved population.”
Councilmember Everett immediately condemned the plan. She wrote in The Detroit Free Press, Sept. 30, “The African Town proposal is racist in that it excludes other races to the perceived benefit of Detroit African Americans. The proposal is detrimental to the interests of Detroit and southeast Michigan. The rationale for this ill-conceived plan is rooted in a form of victim hood justifications that scapegoats those of other ethnicities that we should be coalescing with, not separating ourselves from, such as our Hispanic, Arab, Asian, Chaldean and White neighbors.”

I think very deeply
fukking unbelievable!!
So Chinatown can exist in every city in the west and other "minorities" can have their sections, but when black people attempt to do it, it's "playing the race card" and "reverse discrimination". How the fukk is it "victimhood" when black folks make moves to improve their situation, isn't that statement a contradiction in itself?
I can't believe some black folks even let other people run that kind of game on them.
i cry tears on the inside.....i can see it everyday...the defeat in my people....its alotta ppl simply living to die....u can see it in their eyes....they just given up due to the painThis may be 100% correct unfortunately
