What the hell do black people get for being so submissive to white supremacy? It is bizarre to me. Any rewards you get from under the foot of white society can't be as good as the rewards you'd get from your own Black man lead nation. nikkas like this amaze me.
its purely psychological that leads to this type of control and manipulation...this brother is LOST based off a socially constructed idea that was spoon fed to him for all the years he was alive. never underestimate the power of propaganda and a foundational and inherently racist and unjust system...
WORD..
But then you'll just be called the devil for saying stuff like this...
Whoever created the bible is proud of himself...these pastors and shyt have all the bases covered..
You bring facts to an argument and they just be on some "I rebuke satan" type of shyt...."the devil comes in all forms,shapes and sizes"...
So in my moms eyes...i'm angel...until I start disputing her on christianity then all of a sudden the devil has taken over my body and is making say these things.
Religion.

this whole statement is bullshyt. Not only did the CHRISTIAN black church do more to advance the civil rights of black people than any other organized entity but some of the ORIGINAL christian churches were founded in Eastern Africa so miss me with the "religion of our masters" bullshyt you Haters of christians like to spew.

I think the problem is the "turn the other cheek" docility that came along with the puritan segment of Christianity that is dominant in N America.
In East Africa, better believe the Christians go to holy war with their bible next to them.
no turning the other cheek, leave it to God shyt over there. Trust me, I know first hand
I was with him til he started shytting on black people and making it seem like we are the cause of all our problems. And supported Darren Wilson. And went all preachy. And then I had to stop reading.
Put him on the c00n train...this is sad
True, I hit dap and undap in like half a second. Almost had me lol.
Many could argue (I should say continue to agree with Malcolm) that just as the problem was there 100 years before 1965....the problem is still here 50 years after Malcolm addressed it.

Now this reasoning I can respect because you didn't just say some anti-christian one liner.
The turn the cheek mentality is a very touchy subject....because Jesus also said "he didn't come to bring peace but the sword" and you are very correct the christians in eastern and central africa are some of the most devoted and passionate if not the most in the world. I think respecting others and not making it a habit of repaying evil for evil at the same time while doing what is necessary to preserve yourself and your livelihood is a balance all chrsitans have to deal with and try to find. It is also stated "As much as lieth within you, live peacefully with all men" there is always balance but the key is not to live based on vengeance.

KHQ.COM - Benjamin Watson who plays for the New Orleans Saints posted the following on his Facebook page and it has since gone viral:
"At some point while I was playing or preparing to play Monday Night Football, the news broke about the Ferguson Decision. After trying to figure out how I felt, I decided to write it down. Here are my thoughts:
I'M ANGRY because the stories of injustice that have been passed down for generations seem to be continuing before our very eyes.
I'M FRUSTRATED, because pop culture, music and movies glorify these types of police citizen altercations and promote an invincible attitude that continues to get young men killed in real life, away from safety movie sets and music studios.
I'M FEARFUL because in the back of my mind I know that although I'm a law abiding citizen I could still be looked upon as a "threat" to those who don't know me. So I will continue to have to go the extra mile to earn the benefit of the doubt.
I'M EMBARRASSED because the looting, violent protests, and law breaking only confirm, and in the minds of many, validate, the stereotypes and thus the inferior treatment.
I'M SAD, because another young life was lost from his family, the racial divide has widened, a community is in shambles, accusations, insensitivity hurt and hatred are boiling over, and we may never know the truth about what happened that day.
I'M SYMPATHETIC, because I wasn't there so I don't know exactly what happened. Maybe Darren Wilson acted within his rights and duty as an officer of the law and killed Michael Brown in self defense like any of us would in the circumstance. Now he has to fear the backlash against himself and his loved ones when he was only doing his job. What a horrible thing to endure. OR maybe he provoked Michael and ignited the series of events that led to him eventually murdering the young man to prove a point.
I'M OFFENDED, because of the insulting comments I've seen that are not only insensitive but dismissive to the painful experiences of others.
I'M CONFUSED, because I don't know why it's so hard to obey a policeman. You will not win!!! And I don't know why some policeman abuse their power. Power is a responsibility, not a weapon to brandish and lord over the populace.
I'M INTROSPECTIVE, because sometimes I want to take "our" side without looking at the facts in situations like these. Sometimes I feel like it's us against them. Sometimes I'm just as prejudiced as people I point fingers at. And that's not right. How can I look at white skin and make assumptions but not want assumptions made about me? That's not right.
I'M HOPELESS, because I've lived long enough to expect things like this to continue to happen. I'm not surprised and at some point my little children are going to inherit the weight of being a minority and all that it entails.
I'M HOPEFUL, because I know that while we still have race issues in America, we enjoy a much different normal than those of our parents and grandparents. I see it in my personal relationships with teammates, friends and mentors. And it's a beautiful thing.
I'M ENCOURAGED, because ultimately the problem is not a SKIN problem, it is a SIN problem. SIN is the reason we rebel against authority. SIN is the reason we abuse our authority. SIN is the reason we are racist, prejudiced and lie to cover for our own. SIN is the reason we riot, loot and burn. BUT I'M ENCOURAGED because God has provided a solution for sin through the his son Jesus and with it, a transformed heart and mind. One that's capable of looking past the outward and seeing what's truly important in every human being. The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It's the Gospel. So, finally, I'M ENCOURAGED because the Gospel gives mankind hope."

Do you realize how false, baseless, and flat out stupid you sound right now?
If what you typed is a reflection of your historic knowledge of christianity and Black Americans, then you don't know shyt, and should refrain from trying to keep other Blacks blind like yourself.
Man, y'all worse than the media the way y'all rush to call someone a c00n, picking apart their statement to fit your agenda.
I get the@ the last one, but aside from that he just expressed a respectable opinion.
Lol so you get to decide what is and isn't c00ning huh? Hey............shut the fukk up.
