People never talk about the downside of integration.

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Instead of going for resources to build the black community, a lot of our elders only cared about symbolism. Going to white schools instead of getting more resources for black institutions. And eating CAC food because they said you couldn’t. Shopping at white establishments while simultaneously sending money out of black communities

 

[jerzboy]

Nah, people do talk about it. It’s been an ongoing discussion for years. Shyttttt, I remember speaking to grandparents about the affects of it

 

[Sterling Archer]

People do talk about it. Enough that there is dissension between whether integration was to our benefit or not.

Black Wall Street showed us that integration was the only option they would’ve allowed us. It wasn’t the most beneficial between the two options for us, but it was the one that gave them the most influence over and thus, the one that was chosen.

People never talk about the downside of integration. ​

So nobody has ever brung this topic up on The Coli?

 

[MajesticLion]

New and exciting.

 

[Mugenight]

Yeah.....well that's a blatant fukking lie.

and spoiler alert integration wasn't for our benefit at all it was for the whites.

 

[PatCake]

Integration wasn’t a complete failure — the real issue is the mindset of “please accept me into your space, White people,” that has been passed down in Black communities for generations. Many Black people still look up to white individuals and their institutions, and it’s disappointing. We shouldn’t feel obligated to depend on or seek approval from those institutions.

White people kept control by placing certain Black leaders in authority and landlords didn’t improve housing because residents had few options. It’s like having every institution run by someone with Sheriff Clarke’s mindset. I don’t think it was a mistake, and I can’t judge people who did what they thought would give them a better life.

Because if they talk about it people wouldn't help the elite build the system of slavery.

They are still using the backs and minds of black people to build the system.

People are willingly doing it to their own detriment.

You've got black folks that are part of secret societies that are paid to continue the system.

They won't let you into politics without being a part of the system.

 

[get these nets]

IG post is blatantly disrespecting MLK.
And using a clip of the elder to do it.

People playing in our faces, and dudes too blinded to see it.

 

[DonB90]

Yes we do

 

[Voice of Reason]

This is an idiotic brain dead take from ignorant clowns. You don’t need legal segregation to build with your community. Immigrants do it all of the time.

 

[OneManGang]

There’s been a very effective push from online spaces especially to convince black people they need to insulate themselves from society. On the outside the message seems productive, but I’m convinced there’s a very real malevolent intent to it as well

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Another Black Republican channel slandering the Civil Rights movement while enjoying the fruits of its labors.

Corny.

[Savvir]

Negged on gp

My grandparents never complained about integration

Has anybody here had any folks who lived through segregation look back on that era with fondness?
