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

[BaggerofTea]

Some would say those little Black children beating a mother, let alone a mother walking with her kids, is a sign of self hatred as well.



It’s clear the community has big issues that have yet to be fixed. The ball was dropped decades ago because someone raised the generation that is raising the kids we have today. There’s a lot of unaddressed trauma plus an influx of bad media influences over the years that contributed.

I don’t even know why Simone is being referenced because there are different notable/famous Black folks who have shared their disappointment with the condition of the community over time.

Without a doubt.

But I bet their parents have Nina Simones view point, just more ghettofied and violent.

If you read about her you know that she could be all over the place. There's good and bad about her. This is one of the bad things lol.

I’m a nikka that doesn’t like to see how blacks handle each other and that goes across the board. That shyt was very unsettling to me. Especially when you have a black wife and a black daughter and you think as a father what would you do in a situation like that. Those are children at the end of the day and yes you can call them degenerates but the fact remains they black children that aren’t being led right to do that type of shyt.

Who are raising those children?

Why arent the faces and names of the parents being highlighted instead of this nebulous "its the blacks" phrasing

 

[Richard Glidewell]

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


Who the fukk are you?

Color was spelled with a u breh......take heed

 

[The Pledge]

I still love her

 

[King_Kamala61]

I don't hate her for that position, wish it didn't go that way for a legend though.

Yea man....I love me some Nina tho. But shyt....all our elder legends was on some at one point. James Earl Jones said some weird stuff too.

 

[King Poetic]

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

Malcolm X spoke about our condition too

Nina had a lot of mental health issues. Her family had to drug her secretly because she refused to take her meds. Plus she shot her ex manager for stealing money.

I've been reading a few biographies and books from and about black people circa 1861-1950 and shyt hasn't changed.

I can't break it down on the fly but you had black people who were considered leaders then you had black people that had their own leaders and the other ones were frauds. You had the pro blacks and the new blacks, the militants, the c00ns, oh and drugs....oh yeah....cocaine and heroine....pills...people shooting up, not to mention alcohol, pre, during and post prohibition and this was wayyyyyy before crack and hip hop. Even before schools were integrated.

Anytime a Black person gets to talking about “my roots are xyz” and trying to make all Black Americans out to be the problem when it’s just some of them, I just automatically tune them out.

Mothafukkas are so deeply rooted in self hatred that anytime they see Black folks being degenerates, they automatically go into attack mode towards the whole Black American community like the cowards they really are.

This is exactly why I keep my circle very small and only deal with like minded people.

Who do you think these kids are being raised by?

 

[KingTut]

Blame the iron fists of white supremacy and capitalism on its most vulnerable victims brehettes

 

[MrRDU]

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

 

[BaggerofTea]

Who do you think these kids are being raised by?

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
