Let's talk brehs. Have AA men overall become too comfortable/complacent?

[360dagod]

To a nikka who was getting by flipping packs and hustling, a 15$ job is a blessing...He already set the foundation for the next nikka who might even wanna go even further based off watching him...

5-10 years from now, he/she might feel differently...even if he dont, just by him showing that you can get legal bread, he might have kept other nikkas outta jail who was on the wrong path..

There is no magic capital fund out here that is gonna fund all of these entrepreneur endeavors that is constantly talked about here...which is why nikkas is out here scamming...the ambition is there even in the negative...its just the guidance isnt there for nikkas to connect the dots and get on the straight path before the indictments come...Or the loan from the bank that blacks have a hard time getting..

there isnt a magic cheat code for this..

It takes time and baby steps...

Just making sure a nikka isnt another jail/death statistic is the 1st goal..then you can build from there...

Its not about being "grateful"to the white man...

Its about being "grateful"that a nikka not out here ducking bullets or sitting in a trap house worry about getting robbed...

The reason why shyt reaches deaf ears is because of the "superiority"complex/low key brag that is done by the "woke crowd"

Stop lecturing and Start leading

the coli always has nikkas preaching ON A FORUM. If you got the answers become a leader or

Motivation plays a large role in this and many blk men and women are actually depressed. shyt starts very very young as a result of spending 12 developmental years in soul stealing, android manufacturing, creativity killing education factories. (That's if they don't drop out first.)

Improve the place these blk men and women spend their first socially development 12 years and you will see more geared towards entrepreneurship. Set up k-12 Business academies, arts academies, STEM academies and General trade academies in blk schools that emphasize business ownership and community leadership. This shyt would change within ONE generation. ONE.

A lot of you don't think black men are capable of doing what other men are doing, even in our own communities, and that's fukked up i think we are, we just have to realize it

Honestly, I'm pretty much done discussing the subject with other black men because from my experience, most are delusional about the true economic state of black americans. Dudes are really in here comparing a white man working for another white man, to a black man working for a white man. "There are white men who are employees too!!!" Yeah but who are they working for, their oppressors or other men who look like them? Black men working for white men is not the same as white men working for white men, or asian men working for asian men etc it's sad that this even has to be explained to black men in 2017. Idc what these dudes on here say, black men do need more business ownership so that we won't have to depend on other races for employment. Black men should be able to employ or work for people who look like us, we should have OPTIONS.

They keep talking about "other groups aren't pursuing entrepreneurship either", which is completely untrue. #1 yes they are, they all have significantly higher entrepreneurship rates than us, even Latinos. If somebody says this i automatically know they're just in denial and i don't even bother furthering the conversation. If a black man doesn't understand why we need more black businesses, they'll never understand it. That shouldn't even need to be explained. The fact that the majority of businesses in black communities across the U.S. are owned by non black men should be a huge red flag that there's a problem. #2 Not only are other races starting businesses but they're employing their people. Black men keep talking about how there are white men, asian men etc who are employees too but those men are working for bosses of their OWN RACE. THAT'S the difference. White men don't have to depend on another race of men who HATE THEIR GUTS for a job, so why are nikkas in here talking about white male employees? They work for other white men. Asian men can work for other Asian men because they have enough businesses to be able to do so etc. Other races of men have OPTIONS, whether they're the boss or the employee, because their race has enough BUSINESSES. Black men for the most part cannot go to other black men for a job, black men do not have the OPTION, because black men do not own enough BUSINESSES. Yes, this needs to change. I feel that any black man who comes on here trying to argue that the current status quo is fine is a c00n who wants black men to remain dependent on non black men and not own anything.

I knew dudes would come in here talking about being scared to fail business-wise....

Why are most of us scared of failure when it comes to entrepreneurship but not when it comes to music, sports, or these jobs that could lay you off at anytime? If you get laid off of a job, and you don't have your own way to make your own money (legally), then you have to wait for another cac to decide to hire you, some of you might not consider that failure but it is. Not because you got laid off but because you are totally dependent on cacs/non black men for employment. The question is, why do american black men fear failure when it comes to business, but not when it comes to everything else?.....

And why is it, whenever a nikka comes on here talking about his music a lot of yall tell him to "follow his dreams" and he can make it, nothing about "failure" then? Even though, chances are, he WILL fail? Why do we fear failure when it comes to entrepreneurship but not these music pipe dreams and everything else?

Good post.

Dudes are mad at you for making this thread, but don't mind the countless other threads about weed, mixed hoes, shoes, clothes, video games, cars, even trannies etc. Even though those threads get made over and over, they have no problem with them being repeated, but threads like this should never be made more than once

"YOU nikkaS TALKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP AGAIN I'M TIRED OF THIS TOPIC. HATE YOU nikkaS, I HOPE YOU DIE" then goes over to another "repetitive" thread about shoes and doesn't complain

 

[BruhManFromTheFifthFlo]

Overall, yes. But this thread will be full of posters who come in and name call and insult you like kindergarteners.

Imo black men as a collective don't like to turn the mirror on ourselves and anaylze anything that we need to improve on. A few are willing to but the majority refuses. We'd rather laugh and tapdance for scraps from Mr Charlie and spend our time "having fun" and shopping when we're not punching the clock for him. There's no plan, no trying to figure anything out, etc. They refuse to even take the subject seriously. Black men at this point don't even see ourselves as a collective, we see ourselves as separate individuals who just happen to be black, who exist in the same country. Then they wonder why black men are in the position we're in compared to other races of men who pool resources together.

We may as well admit that the Black community will always have to rely on cacs and non-blacks to take care of us. Just about every grocery store, bank, dry cleaner, and all other essential businesses in Black neighborhoods are owned by non-blacks to serve the communities. Black men stopped striving to be business owners after segregation ended. The only way to reverse the damage that has been done to Black communities worldwide would be to bring back segregation which would then force black men to stay in their communities and nurture them. Now of course that will never happen because it is not the politically correct thing to do and in this day and age it would be a logistical nightmare. We are now consumers and not producers because of nonexistent male leadership.

Or maybe we just have different opinions on shyt and don't see ourselves as a collective and don't care about what other nikkas are doing

I think that's poor people in general, not AA so much, people that are poor and are around individuals that grew up poor and went into adulthood poor conditions them to think that living without ambitions and being poor is okay, and to be fair it is for some people, everybody isn't a leader nor do they care about the white picket fence american dream bullshyt. I've seen and I knows cacs who are in that same loop of being poor, but they're happy because they can live stress free. Not everybody is meant to be a malcolm x or a business owner, is it alright if you're happy with you're life and living in a safe enough environment to raise kids? on a micro level yes... is it a spot to be in as someone that is black in America's society? on a macro level hell no.. we are doing better than before and I believe we're building up our economy with businesses and entrepreneurship and the internet plays a big factor in that too. But like I said, not everyone is cut to lead or even make power moves that require you to take calculated chances

 

[DrX]

the system beat alot of black people down, that combined with indoctrination have many of up people by the balls....and black people are terrified of white people. They dont have the confidence to do for self and think they have to go through mr. pink man for their resources

black men in particular are terrfied at the job, looking back at all my 9-5 experiences...all the black men I worked with ere docile, soft spoken and timid...and ass a man , those are all the qualities theall turn u into a bytch in this society. The only thing those qualities will get u is a dry dikk and a foot up the ass

Most Black men just want to be "the man" among other Black men.

I got an Asian homeboy who played basketball in university. He said that in general requirement classes, the blk guys would act as if they didn't know what they were doing because they didn't want people knowing they were smart.

I used to want to use some of the black male's writing samples as examples for other students on how to compose a proper argumentative essay in my English classes. Some of the male boys damn near cursed me out for even thinking about "putting them on blast".

Had several young blk males mistakenly referred for special education services because they were failing their classes. Psychologist gave em IQ tests and dudes had scores in the 115-120 ranges. Score above proficiency on standardized tests. Failing all classes.

There's a common theme here about what true toxic masculinity is.

It's the demonization of positive leadership and knowledge characterisitics in young blk men while forcing them to associate strength and masculinity with a rejection of anything educationally successful. Yet another way school is failing our children. And these ideas persist into adulthood. Happens to blk females as well.

 

[Skrilla]

Women allow a lot of black men to be. nikkas know that working a menial job, having a decent car, the latest jordans, A gold chain and some polo is enough to attract most black women and that a dikk game is enough to keep em. As a result they get that and become complacent. A lot of black women are also intimidated by educated, self sufficient black men. And I'm not talking about rich men. I mean those who are socially aware and attentive. Black women like to be in control and see nikkas like that as too boring, challenging or arrogant. You can try and drop gems on em and they'll think you're just talking shyt or being a know it all. An athlete or rapper might have money, fame etc. but a lot of them are still unintelligent. Women know this and prey on them for that reason knowing that p*ssy is enough to have them wrapped around their fingers. It's the control they want.

But yea most men do what they do to obtain women, start a family etc. it's the sad reality. If black women held the average nikka to a higher standard , the average nikka would strive for more.

But why must women "force" black men to hold ourselves to a standard? Other races of men build for their OWN benefit, p*ssy is one of those benefits but so is having his own, and being able to put other people on and make money together etc

I'll be honest, at this point, i think even if most black women suddenly refused to fukk with black men to try to force some sort of change, we still wouldn't start trying to start businesses. It wouldn't even matter at this point if they tried to hold us to some sort of standard, we're too far gone. nikkas would just keep working that "job" for the man and get p*ssy from non-black women if black women refused to fukk with us it's the truth

 

[Skrilla]

What is the black man's responsibility to his community?

Nothing?
