Nina Simone: “I Gave Up On Black America. My roots are with the Africans, Spanish and North Africans.”

[im_sleep]

Same women that made Mississippi Goddamn with no fukks to give when it wasn’t safe outside.


Same women that busted her gun at a record exec for jerking her while most these new nikkas shuck and jive on tables for them and sell poison to the community.


Nina was all over the place at that point in her life mentally from the years of shyt she had to deal with. FOH with this bullshyt.

 

[Guess Who]

That’s her experience in 1990

And a lot of what she saying in the beginning is true today

But black folks want to cap online and hide from the truth they see everyday if u actually still in the neighborhoods

Before we can change we have to confront an uncomfortable truth — that Black people are still deeply mired in self-hate. Many of us. And we can never learn to truly love ourselves until we face that truth.

I have no issues with anything she said. She was speaking from her experience

ah a supporter of white supremacy finding solace and validation in her comments

They arent being raised by the borg.

they are being raised by human beings with their own agency that happened to be black.


Are you saying that because they are black, their blackness caused them to attack the black mother and her child

No I’m not saying that at all. I’m saying that I don’t like the action these kids did and I don’t like the fact that they were black kids doing it. There should be some respect when it comes to children and adults to not do this.

never been a fan
actually, that’s why when her bio flick came out and the big controversy about Zoe Saldana playing her
just shook my head like I didn’t give a fukk.

What I take away from this is that Nina definitely went through some shyt that caused her to have these viewpoints, whether we agree or not. Something caused her to feel this way…

…and it’s not just her who feels this way.

White supremacy is a bytch.

 

[SNYC]

why do people like you continue to pathologize the black race off of actions of select degenerates.


Who the fukk are you?

First of all I got Black American foundation blood in me. Don’t do that.

Being black in America is a multifaceted layer of obstacles not built for the weak.

You must control your input as well as your output to level the playing field.

Pick and choose your battles and unravel the root cause of most issues before discussing shıt or else you'll come off as irrational, unstable and emotionally unintelligent.

Thankfully the Obama's didn't give a pudding pop speech.

Hope that makes sense.

We are in agreement here.

My issue is that comments and mentality like Nina's ends up being not much different than the mindset of these young reprobates.


Their parents probably think awful things of the black community which is why the children felt they could attack a black person with no care in the world

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

I understand her frustration.

 

[Premeditated]

and she was saying all this while having gutter sex with nonblack males in the background, so you can't say she was critiquing in good faith

this was her divesting coming out

If my daughter ever participated in some shyt like that I would feel that I failed as a father. Like watching her son trying and protect her and then getting jumped by other children that shyt had me fukked up. I dunno if you have kids or not but the shyt hits different when you have children.

You are looking at the future it’s sad to see where actions like these will lead some of these children.

Quoted for emphasis

It's way too deep, that's why I sympathize with her, even if I don't agree. I know that frustration.
