I have a couple baby mom's and a wife....
Does this mean my children won't be successful?
That's up to you......BUT the % are not in your favor.
Lets be real, black elders are largely responsible for our current plight

OP ain't lying. Elders be lost...they got their good cushy jobs with a hs diploma and lost all sight. Now that most of those jobs are gone they looking stupid and working minimum wage jobs waiting on retirement.
The educated ones kept a white cizock in their mouth and be on that respectability politics. Don't get me started on the political ones on the local level who've been finessing the people for decades

Like I was saying, the debate between doing for ourselves and trying to integrate into society is not new. We can even look at w.e.b dubois vs booker t Washington. Every time we go with integration. Why do we do that? Because we're not aware. Why are we not aware? Because we don't take a critical look at our past and other situations.
You gotta call a spade a spade. If the foundation of your house crumbled, you're not gonna be like "well the contractor who built this house was a good guy with good intentions". Hell no. He's going to be held accountable by possibly losing his license to practice. The inspector who ok'd the house? His ass is fired and disgraced too. They wouldn't be allowed to keep working and fukking up for decades. Nostalgia and emotion have no place in this fight
Real talk, it's not even @DrX that gets me anymore
It's these miserable ass nikkas that think just like him
He just needs that adulthood/manhood wakeup call.
He is complaining about "child" mentality of his elders while putting his own childlike mentality on full display.
People were moving their families across the ocean, fighting wars, and building businesses at our age.
They weren't complaining about how their parents and grandparents fukked up, because they were no longer children.
We are in this reality, lets own it and make it better.
I'm gonna keep it 100... my parents generation FUKKED Nigeria up something serious.
I'm not spending all day focusing on what they did wrong, i'm trying to help my cousins live a better life over there. The dollar goes far over there. I'm paying for school fees every month.

The Myth of Black “Buying Power" | Black Agenda Report
It's spelled out best here.
And I've never heard of Black people being 50% of Macy's business? Do you have a source for that.
They didn't do anything?
We literally have countless footage of our elders getting beat on and attacked by dogs and fire hoses just for protesting
How the hell they go into a battlefield with no weapons?
How the hell they let a another human being, who breathe the same breath as you do that to them? Excuses! They were idiots! Groups of men and women really wanted fight meaning putting in some real work got sabotaged by the same snitch ass protesters! You Want evidence?!?
. Lets not even talk about what the Black Panthers tried to do. But most of them ended up jail or dead.
Nikka please! Them fronting nikkas talked all that gangsta and got flipped for it! How the hell they had grade a military weapons and didn't use it?? The cia had to make up police killings just to go after the panthers! Look it up! Them nikkas wasn't really catching no bodies! Look at Fred Hampton, look at his so called followers RAN when he got wet up!
Breh we couldn't even vote at one point and they fought for that.
Fought what??? They have to renew it every 20 years? And y'all stop saying black people couldn't vote because before Jim Crow, black people voted but too scared to defend themselves. Why you think we had rich cites and towns before they destroyed them because of lack of protection
We still have a long way to go but we are only 150 years removed from being in chains. Man whatever!
What do you think they should've done different and what are you doing to improve our condition?
Man you what to do, all these dumbass decisions they made we can learn from them
Not sure what you're objecting to at this point.
Since you object to calling fiends mentally weak or victims how did a they start doing drugs? And since they weren't forced to consume them why didn't they stop?
Please explain.

That's the thing. All of us didn't even want integration. Integration was something they allowed us to have and now we are more divided than ever as a result. But we cant blame previous generation for that becuz many of them didn't wanna integrate

Exactly. If anyone had a right to complain about the previous generation, it would be them, not us.
Its a complete lack of understanding to assume they our elders were given the same playing field that we are given today.
Its just ignorant to even compare the two
