Black lives need to matter to other Black lives.

shutting down traffic will effect police shootings?
the point is to just raise awareness, to show that you won't stand for something any longer.



the word "protest" simply means to object against something. these vague "there are people protesting" isn't enough. nobody would ever say that black folks don't protest against WHITE injustice, you'd be crazy to, those protests make the cover of TIME magazine...

at the end of the day, we're not doing enough to protest the terrorism we inflict on ourselves...having intellectual debates don't count either




again, a little church here, a little pocket of people there, there are little handfuls of individuals and groups doing and saying things - but it's not enough.

the numbers of black folks dead in chicago alone should warrant this right here...no!?!

Shutting down traffic aint' stopping black on black crime but I'll let you

None of what you said negated my point

If having a black man be the leader of the free world doesn't inspire and motivate people to put down the guns and get out of the streets, what will?

Hold up. Stop trying to argue and prove a point and think about what I just said.

And things are getting better? Chicago has had the most homicides in 13 years, our HIV rates rival some 3rd countries

But we're doing better in school huh, making good grades? Boy. Malcolm and dr King would be proud

Gangs members are sociopaths, is that not clear. Many of them cannot be helped. You help those who can

Even Garvey said

I have no desire to take all black people back to Africa; there are blacks who are no good here and will likewise be no good there.

And like a said, a black president has not helped the poverty rate go down, it's has went up under him.

There's been 428 homicides in Chicago. and the year is not over, so it's very possible that it could match 2008's 513, the last year for 500 murders. 13 years ago there were 656 homicides, it's not matching that.

It's still an abomination and it's a shame the gang violence is going on but people call it out but sociopaths don't listen.

MLK and Malcolm would not be proud, why? Chicago is still a shyt hole like it was in their day as is many other ghettos stuck in poverty

 

[A1aaa]

first and foremost, R.I.P.

now, in judging these deviant individuals--gang members--as representative as black people as a collective, what percentage of black people do some of you assume have a propensity for senseless violence? 10%? 50%? 95%?

just glancing over the responses in this thread, a lot of you let your emotion cloud your reasoning. and in short, you've UNWITTINGLY co-opted hackneyed white supremacist talking points... and U.O.E.N.O. it

generalize 41.7 million black people in a vacuum, brehs

blame hip-hop, brehs

not understand the intersection of poverty, race and violence in america, brehs

but i guess it's easier to say "we" have got to do better

I don't know why blacks are so scared to admit that there are people among us that are just plain shyt . They shouold be cut off/ostracized and plain disassociated from blacks that are about something. We constantly fear because of the eye of white supremacy. The fact is there are shytty blacks as there are shytty whites or any race. Keeping them in teh fodl in self f-destructive.
Of course violence is multifaceted. It's not just a matter of discrminiation, racism and or bad blacks. It is multifaceted problem that needs to a multifaceted solution.

However, it is time to admit/acknowledge that there some blacks that are destructive regardless of the environment they are in and they are heavy anchor weight for those blacks with bigger.brighter vision and I as well as any self-respecting black person want nothig to do with them. If that makes me a c00n, I will take on teh title proudly.

You don't live around these Blacks, you are no different than a white person to them, except you got no reason to be bougie and you are still a nikka to white ppl. That's the issue. We have Blacks in high positions ignoring them and has ANYTHING improved?

 

[KodeBlue]

it's because we love murderers and want them polluting our neighborhoods :ngapls: is that what you wanted to hear?

I wanted to hear the real reason... Was that the dumbest answer you could come up with? Nothing wrong with saying "I don't know why we do that."

 

[Booker T Garvey]

So you quoted me and didn't even read what I said?!

 

[Yup]

I don't consider myself a bourgeois...cause i am not one. My mother is hard-working parent who tried to raise her kids outside of the environment of violence so i can get a better start at life. Nothing more...nothing less.

Truthfully...you can bring the jobs back, and a segment will STILL be out there thuggin. They are lost and need to be cut from the good fruit. Their minds are damaged beyond repair.

I repeat...YOU CAN HAND THEM A JOB...and they will STILL be doing gangster stuff.

Let them thug, the issue is, there is no jobs, there is no economy and white supremacist run our communities. You want to change it, do you have the funds. Let me give you an answer, none of us have the funds like that. We need reparations then seperation from them altogether. They can keep the c00ns and the athletes. We just need the resources, the brain trust and our land/money.

There will always be thugs BUT there will not always be violence, that's due to a lack of a community and a code of conduct.

 

[Arishok]

So you quoted me and didn't even read what I said?!

Yeah and you wrote a bunch of BS

Blacks who don't commit crime know its wrong and Blacks who do commit crime know it wrong, so who are we bringing awareness to?

You think some murderer is going to go, "Damn they don't like it when I shot up their neighborhood? I didn't know that "

Yeah, you might not be one to the degree of the Jack and Jill's types or the Boule/Links members but you still are to a degree. Just like what I call our biggest issue in the community, softcore c00ns. They make up a majority of c00ns but everyone who's a sc c00ns always looks to the Raven's, Black GOP members and Jesse Lee Peterson types as the c00ns when you are the most damaging c00n of them all. You have numbers and you only look to help yourself.

 

[HughJeff]

We have the choice to be better idk why we dont understand that. Anyone now growing up on chicago should move the first chance they get so they can actually have a chance

 

[Booker T Garvey]

Yeah and you wrote a bunch of BS

Blacks "

nikka fukk your opinion, who cares what you think? You quoted me simply saying that protesting is an expression of objection, that's all

All this other shyt you're talking is irrelevant bruh

 

[Xane Vic]

I'm tired of this dumb ass "hood" culture holding our community back.

I'm with @PhonZhi, @kevm3 and @Emperor_ReinScarf . fukk hip hop. fukk swag. fukk the cool pose.

@No_bammer_weed , @bcrusaderw , @LadySimone , @Yup and others troll, but in many instances they are speaking the truth about Black men.

We have failed as men. We've failed to provide for and protect our communities.

You fakkit nikkas can neg me all you want. But, the shyt is the truth.



Breh.

Type all that shyt but claim "Degengerate", "brehs"...
