What's going on is the common divide and conquer tactic that's been used since the beginning of time to undermine every civil rights movement and people like Ice Cube, Nick Cannon, Stephen Jackson and Desean Jackson are just playing in to it. There is nothing more the oppressors want than to keep all these race wars going. Those in power see that the movement is gaining major steam and getting a lot of white people behind it so they want nothing more than to have weapons to use to try and pull white people away from this thing while also putting us black people in a position to be at each other's neck. As soon as we start infighting we start taking our eyes off the true goal. Now ain't the time to be jumping out the window saying crazy shyt that just distracts from the overall goals.
Bingo. Kareem has been there and done that. He's reading the tea leaves and heads to reset, yet fools are upset at his wisdom.

I can't with these new age internet niqqas.

And @Crude Abolitionist is an agent.

This is what Kareem's saying. And the bigger point Kareem is making, IMO, are white supremacists and corporate media want to prop up the idiots to take away from the movement. They want to equate white bigotry and black bigotry. No one is asking for the opinions of Nick Cannon and Professor Griff, DeSean and Stephen Jackson. Ice Cube hasn't been relevant in a political activist front since the 90s. Louis Farrakhan is only relevant to white people. They have always done that. Kareem is saying, stop wasting energy on their stupidity, and instead focus on the important stuff. Them dudes are not the ones leading social change.

Farrakhan has not been relevant in the black community since the Million Man March in 1995. Only white people prop him up to compare him to Hitler - which is disgusting since Louis Farrakhan has never murdered millions of people, let alone Jewish people. No one is reading The Final Call except NOI members. People are not buying bean pies. Farrakhan is not relevant. He is not Malcolm X. Farrakhan had a moment with the Million Man March, and did nothing with that.

The only reason you think he is relevant is due to white people propping him up and you wanting to make white people mad by antagonizing with his name.

Farrakhan is not on the minds of heads that matter. Some of yall dudes are mire interested in speaking on past history instead of current day conditions that change week to week.

Im a lover of history but I find this disconnect between Black history buffs and their inability to speak on current day politics, relying on cliches rather than naming names, their impact, the buttons our enemies are turning in REAL TIME and how to defeat it. Yall never there for that

Unfortunately, memes have a major impact on the stupid. I hate it. shyt actually educates (wrongly) people.

:gucci:
Man idc how you try and twist these fox news bill oreilly talking points you're not gonna get me to agree with you that some offbrand hotep memes about eastern Europeans are the same as the KKKlan

:mjlol:

I'll take the joos cries about antisemitism seriously when they stop practicing white supremacy

What we're not gonna do is sit here and call Kareem Abdul Jabar a c00n

Ya'll acting like this man is on some Jim Brown shyt and completely flipping the script

Kareem is trying to be the leader that some of you YouTube militants crave, but devote your energy to clip charlatans and digital grifters who are low key being paid under the table to cause descension in the ranks within the Black community

Protecting the feelings of someone who is actively practicing white supremacy(Jews) in a bunch of different ways isn’t our best interest imo.

I mean “the minds that matter” is compromised tho. They support lgbt and leaders are gay. When a another group of black masculinity filled group arises then we will move forward in history.
Until then, he and his group will continue to be relevant to the discussion imo.

can any of these so called new leaders walk into the inner city and command respect of the people? I doubt if

Farrakhans a clown.
But blacks folks...
Some us brothers/sisters need to learn how to bob and weave.
Cant just be runnin round saying wild shyt (whether true or not) while we gaining traction.
That would be called "hustling backwards."

Peace to Kareem.
Gotta school some of these simple muthafukkas.
You dont want a gem?
Drown.

I can't speak for the guy you quoted, but there are serious discussions taking place here.

There's a difference between the group of dudes who repeat youtubers, and the ones who actually read and study history for themselves. Check out the Root section.

Nobody is "infighting"

Black people exposing non black people's anti black racism is not "divide and conquer"
:heh:
Eastern Europeans of the Jewish faith have been consistently on team white supremacy idk why they're supposed to be immune from criticism?

the thing you call “exposal” more often than not os been there done that. You probably are too busy thinking youre dropping gems instead of dealing in the now that Kareem was speaking on and how distracting this jewish boogeyman shyt some of yall are on.

one thing my pops used to tell me was how Mlk worked with Lyndon Johnson on signing the Civil Rights while knowing good and well LBJ called him a ****** and all sorts of shyt. We wont have prtfect partnerships along the way and way too many of you types and new age internet social media militants are looking for this perfect person or group of people whose relationship with us are unblemished while the smart folks see these relationships as a means to an end, no matter how tenuous, flimsy, or uncaring these folks truly are. But here you are stuck on some bullshyt, being distracted by some built in “this is how they are” bullshyt.

Even the Soviets and the US could get together to fight a common enemy and go right back to disliking each other there after, and here your dumb ass is living in the there after while in the middle of the fight.

waste of time ass niqqas....and fukk your smilie overuse. Im most insulted you called me a Knicks fan.
