Martin Luther King: I believe I've Integrated my people into a Burning Building

[get these nets]

Have you read any of the Books mentioned, yes or no?

Second sentence literally says that I've read most of Black Fortunes.

Now what?

i didn’t say shyt about jealousy. I said he was mad/hurt…. I know you ain’t that bright but you ain’t gotta lie and put words in my mouth

you said he probably hated Rosa Parks till her dying day. You may be driven by petty emotions but you shouldn’t ascribe your personal shortcomings to others.

and again, that’d be like saying MLK’s inspiration for his life’s work was because he was “mad/hurt” that he couldn’t have open relations with white women.

shame on you man, and I mean that. You should really be ashamed of yourself.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam were firmly against integration.

yes he was…. However, as you stated a while back, Elijah did put in work with building schools, grocery stores, buying farmland, healthy restaurants, etc…. so, albeit just one man…. He offered a lot that wasn’t based on financial patronage so to speak…. He really tried to fulfill his vision…. Not sure why shyt fell off the rails with the NOI afterwards

Say what you want about Tyler perry but the man is in full control. He writes, directs, produces and stars in his own shyt like the independent film makers back in the 60s and 70s. Thats what you have to do if you want to maintain ownership.

He puts black actors out there to be seen and gives their careers a boost. We need more black independent film makers out here working together and doing their own thing. I trust us to tell our stories.

There is emotion in my ambition but none of its petty… However, this is a fair statement and I shouldn’t have implied that about Dr. Claud

Brother I shouldn’t have called you a c00n. But there are statistics out there now that show that we’re doing even worse than we were in 1968. Here’s an article from 2020. It’s behind a paywall but the stats are out there. If we haven’t collectively progressed economically in 4 decades what good was a forced integration?

If we would’ve followed Booker T Washington’s plan more than likely a natural integration would’ve occurred and the masses of Black people would’ve been better off today.

Now what?

If you've read barely 1 book of the 8 books mentioned, how can you make the assertion that the achievements were mostly from post CRM?

Uh, no. Not what I said at all. Remember our words in this discussion are WRITTEN, and still visible.

Try again.

Of course, because the dumb lazy ni_ _ ers wouldn’t have ever had the intellectual capacity or drive to develop those ourselves. We’ve never invented anything, but have always been the beneficiaries of the almighty white man whose genius knows no bounds.

you lame ass nikkas tell on yourselves with every post.

yeah sure. Your way of justifying Blacks having nothing is at least we’re able to go into the crakkka’s store and buy the electronics he invented. You’re not only a yassah boss ass nikka but you’re too damned stupid to know you’re the one that doesn’t belong in this discussion lol

I only wish you’d said that c00n shyt in a roomful of conscious Black people and not online with a buncha ignorant mufukkas who know as little as you. Bet that’d be the last time you opened your big mouth in a live open forum again.

Tell others that they don't understand economics, then fail to understand that a smartphone is a highly sophisticated electronic device, which needs billions of dollars in investment, global supply chains and thousands of highly trained engineers to be invented and produced. No, Black people could not have just came up with their own version in a segregated world

KKK formed because Black Economic power was rising up "too quickly" after Slavery

These are books about black businesses, nobody denied that they existed. It is not data that proves that the wealth gap between black and white people increased past integration. And the KKK neing founded in response to rising black wealth actually proves the exact opposite of what you guys are claiming. Yes, Jim Crow and the KKK were responses to black liberation, which is why the civil rights movement had to fight to get the freedom back that black people briefly enjoyed during reconstruction

I’m a huge proponent of the ideology of Booker T Washington at its core(even tho I believed he didn’t wanna challenge Jim Crow, but he lived and died in a different era than the 40s to 60s…. different convo) with that being said, i don’t disagree with the bolded. I’ll check out the link shortly

Yall, from the comfort of electronic devices you 100% would not have been able to walk in a store and buy without MLK's vision and sacrifice, saying he had it backwards is an example of something being funny and sad at the same time.

BLACK OWNED STORES
DIDNT SELL PHONES?

SO INSTEAD OF GIVING
THE BLACK STORE OUR MONEY
FOR PHONES YOU THINK ITS
GREAT THAT MONEY IS NOW
GOING TO CAC STORES.

Both of them grew up where they could go to any public bathroom, sit anywhere they wanted on public transpo that they paid for, buy in any neighborhood they wanted etc so I'm gonna hit em with a look at the whole picture.
If your money was integrated you should be too.

Integration gave black folks a choice, and its up to individuals to choose to have other black folks back or not. Everybody else had a choice but black folk.
But in the end money usually gonna beat out race cause folks gotta eat and a lot sold cause they saw greener pastures.

If we were still segregated in 2022 these nikkas would be preaching differently.

The issue is that segregation was forced and we were given sub par living conditions and outside of a crafty few weren't allowed to improve ourselves or our conditions (police misconduct, KKK). I look at it the way I look at asians, asians, east and south asians in general have the highest amount of money for a minority group in America. They segregate themselves in their own community, build with each other, improve their economic conditions. But are integrated enough to be around white folk and to do general things in the presence of white folk. We essentially integrated when we were broke and people looked for white acceptance and higher/quality goods = white people selling or buying it so I want it.

Where I live in Southern California, it is very hard to find a black store to do business with. Our black dollars are not circulating to each other. And white dollars aren't circulating to black businesses. That's not good economics for us. Integration destroyed Black group economics. It's hard for us to get jobs because we have to go to races that don't like us to get jobs. What kind of world is that to raise a Black man in?

I think civil rights black people thought they could change white people. Maybe thought they could fukk racism away? Well, the experiment is over. White people haven't changed and they never will. They don't think black people are intelligent. You heard Joe Rogan. Black body, white brain. A lot of black people bought into that white supremacist lie as well. That's why it's hard for black businesses to find clientele.

Integration just made it easier to give your black dollars away. Low self-esteem is a bytch. I think we should've just focused on ourselves instead of getting the white man's colder ice.

 

[CoryMack]

Well, the experiment is over. White people haven't changed and they never will.

That’s what a lot of these dudes don’t wanna come to grips with. At a certain point you can stop, look back, and take stock of the results. It’s like they need another 50 years to pass before looking at the results.

In every measurable statistic that marks the progress of a people we are where we were pre-integration or even worse off.

It's an example sheer ignorance plus a level of entitlement. The type of bold stupidity that birthed the "I'm not my ancestors" mind frame. Very sad
