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

[Cobalt Sire]

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.

We would have had the same electronic devices without white people. We can do more than rap, dance, and play sports.

Dr Claud mad cause his family's bus company went out of business.... He bascially saying that he wishes nikkas were still oppressed so his family could be well off by nikkas being forced to use his family's bus company...... He wishes the Montgomery Bus Boycott never happened and probably hated Rosa Parks till her dying day........

He could have just as easily used an example of the millions of other black companies that were destroyed in integration. His family's bus company employed and empowered black people. Today the Black unemployment rate is higher than every other group, because other groups don't like hiring black people.

In what way did integration improve black people's lives?

It's funny seeing 2nd class citizen mentality Black people expose themselves

Millions is a big number. Also, you need to breakdown how integration destroyed black companies back then from a technical standpoint. This is what I understand. As a man, natural law should dictate that you should have freedom of movement and choice. Once nikkas during that era received freedom of choice(as the should). a lot of them took their dollars and expertise outside of the black community. Now why is that?

"Black owned businesses in the United States increased 34.5% between 2007 and 2012 totaling 2.6 million Black firms"

Technically, Black businesses declined, in part because their Black customers went to the white shops. You don't seem to be able to come out with what you're trying to say, which leaves me to make suppositions. I suppose Walmart is a better deal to you than a black-owned store. Such white magnificence. White isn't inherently better. Black people back then stopped shopping exclusively black, and that has had negative effects on Black progress. Other ethnic groups still practice group economics. So can you inform me as to why they can do it, but we can't? Why didn't they abandon their people's businesses because of "natural law" and choice to buy the white mans buillshyt?

I don’t think I understand the point you are trying to make

 

[CoryMack]

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

No it’s just you nikkas happily accepting the lowest common denominator. Like the Blacks who built thriving commercial districts all throughout the country would’ve been too stupid and lazy to establish trade with Africa and the other sources of raw materials. Like they would’ve never had the ingenuity to invent any of these products on their own.

But let’s be honest here - that kinda competition would’ve had us at war with white people, which is what Blacks fear most of all. So you’re content going in white stores buying white products and further enriching white industries, as long as you don’t piss white people off.

And you’re one of those who think Africans are be gonna be competitive in the future lol

Are y'all asking each other the same question?

Why black dollars started going to white businesses to the detriment of black businesses doing the same shyt?

It is brainwashing? Conditioning? Imagery? All of the above?

OK we know 'white people' and the concept of 'whiteness' is fabricated as a form of race based caste system (or classism) but what does one do with that in 2022?

 

[Cobalt Sire]

Do you believe white businesses had superior goods and services, and this led to black people shopping less with Black businesses?

 

[ImLionyall]

These babbling idiots are trying to adapt ethno nationalist talking points for black people. Idealizing a fictional, ethnically homogenious past and striving to recreate it is essentially fascism and these fools have the audacity to try and shame others for supposedly not knowing their history

Whiteboi fascist rhetoric 101. No cap, alot of thecoli's (and "Black Twitter" sometimes) arguments on segregation where being passed around in stormfr0nt when I used to troll back in the day. Its gotten so bad I can't tell who's black fishing trolling and who's just uneducated.

He's asking why did black people stop shopping with black businesses after integration. I'm asking why did other ethnic groups continue to shop with and support their own businesses after integration. Asians, Mexicans, etc. all practice group economics and seem to understand supporting each other's businesses. Furthermore, many of these ethnic groups were never really segregated. From the time they came to America, they had access to other group's businesses, but decided to shop with their own. As soon as Black people got access to other businesses, they chucked the deuces at each other. Bizarre.

"The key is that income needs to stay in the Black community for longer. Currently, a dollar circulates six hours in an African American community, compared to 20 days in a Jewish community and 30 days in an Asian community."

And how's the Convenience working for us in 2022?

So let’s get you on record. Do you believe segregation in America should be reinstated today

I think the point we're making is we shouldn't have been begging for acceptance. We didn't integrate from a place of power. We didn't come to the table as powerful negotiators. We certainly needed access to some outside resources, but we twisted that into everything white is better. We don't need segregation to practice group economics. Every other ethnic group was able to manage it. It's good to have choices, but it's also good to not have to completely rely on a another group for survival.

Ideally, we should have our own communities resources, while also having access to institutions outside of us. Right now, we mostly have to rely on outside resources to survive, which wasn't the case before integration. It's about using a situation to our advantage, and we clearly did not do that. Integration should've been handled differently by our community. Integration should've been used to add to our community, not replace it.

Society generally didn't buy phones in stores until the 1980s, when deregulation of the phone industry occurred.

Prior to that, the vast majority of households had to rent their phones from the monopoly, AT&T.

Ma Bell's Breakup Means Big Changes Ahead for Phone Users
By Jane Bryant Quinn
January 31, 1983

https://www.washingtonpost.com/arch...e-users/185c55de-505f-4f1b-98e8-e1e2bf3b67b2/

Like it or not, your relationship with your home telephone is about to change. The government broke up American Telephone & Telegraph's telephone monopoly last year and the effects are finally starting to come home. You may eventually be paying for telephone service in a different way. And instead of renting your phone from Ma Bell, as most people do now, you'll probably want to buy it outright. Here are the answers to some of your questions about the telephone revolution:

* I thought I already owned my telephone? You own it only if you went to a phone store, bought it and had it installed. You are renting it if you ordered the instrument directly from the phone company, which installed it at no extra charge. A rental fee of a few dollars is added to your phone bill every month.

* May I continue to rent my phone? Yes, for the present. It is generally more expensive to rent a telephone than to own it. But it's also more convenient, as long as the phone company will come to your house and make repairs. When you own a phone, you have to get it to a phone center for repairs, or pay for an in-home visit.

Three separate entities are coming into your life: (1) Your local phone company which, next January, will be folded into one of seven, new regional companies regulated by state governments; (2) AT&T, running regulated long-distance service and manufacturing deregulated telephones and other equipment; (3) American Bell, born this month as a fully owned subsidiary of AT&T, responsible for selling telephones and future services (like automatic message-taking if you're not home when the phone rings).

Starting next January, responsibility for rented telephones will be transferred to AT&T. You will still be paying the rental bill through your local phone company, so nothing will change at first. Eventually, however, you may get two separate bills: one from your phone company for local calls and such services as push-button dialing, and one from AT&T for phone rental and long-distance service. You might also be able to buy long-distance service from another company. In 1984, or later, telephone-rental charges will also be deregulated.

Starting next year, rented phones that break will be repaired by AT&T, not by your local phone company. A serviceman may come to your home, or you may want to take (or mail) the phone to a service center.

Everything you listed can be had without state sanctioned segregation.

So I’ll ask you to go on record. Do you think black people should have less rights than white people by having The Civil Rights Act of 1964 overturned and segregation reinstated
