I've personally taken time to reverse lookup many people who post these kinds of comments on articles and to suggest that it's a bunch of rednecks posting these comments is naive. there are a few documented instances here at the coli of very educated white people who work for fortune 500 companies and law enforcement (jenny pohl) who make these kind of comments and they certainly aren't rednecks.
How do you reverse look up faceless people on the net?

The example you gave was from a person in a town of 11K people...there are a lot redneck cops...doesnt make my point invalid.
Not saying they all are...but they are a bunch of nobodies.

do you have any evidence to prove that they're a bunch of nobodies outside of us going to a walmart in a rural area and ignorantly assuming that those are the types of people to leave such comments?

:lupe:

neither one of us have poof :yeshrug:

I laugh at most white people (or people in general). Folks have a lot of opinion, but no money or power.
The average person in this country cant come up w/ $2,000 in a month...so its safe to assume the average person on the internet is a broke bum.

both sides taking this too seriously, and it's crazy how hard some of yall go to dap him up for dropping some common ass phrases that became ubiquitous in hip hop in the early 90's as some proof he's living the 5% life - when almost everything else he does shows the opposite. you can add bits and pieces of various life or "religious" philosophies/teachings to your personal beliefs without being a part of anything. i personally love what the om represents and got that tatted on me, i also very much believe in quite a few Buddhist & Hindu teachings, but I wouldn't call myself a member of either practice.

So what exactly does it mean to live the 5% lifestyle since you seem to be an expert breh?

5%er philosophy is inherently racist. I agree its dumb when white people catch feelings over shyt like this.... but come on.... aint no way to spin it.... 5 % Nation teaches that white people are the devil

For a religion that emphasizes positivity, transcendance and coming together, theres alot of collateral hate
dawg...this is LITERALLY the smallest portion of that thought.

While I'm definitely not religious, nor am I trying to defend black supremacy, but to fail to understand this thinking in context is just as much of a disservice.

where did i say or imply i'm an expert? why would i become an expert in something baseless and, at its worst, absurd? and "life" in my post was meant to allude to beliefs - as in the full belief of 5% teachings

I mean Im not trying to put a fixed label on 5% nation or anything like that. I have respect for it... but from an OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE, its not going to be seen as anything more then bigotry
