A lot of you all shouldn't have a problem with this speech. :sas2:





We all know all of this true, i'm tired of playing these little "who looking so we can talk about this" bullshyt games

I saw dudes in middle school and high school rob nikkas and sell dope for SNES's, sega's, playstations, starter jackets, jordans, jewelry, FUBU

nikkas wasn't trying to eat or feed their family's, they were trying to keep up with the culture, the last thing you wanna be in the hood is a broke looking ass bummy nikka

the CULTURE is what's fueling this bullshyt and we all know it :stopitslime:

No one ever questions the realness of a dude doing dirt. As a matter of fact, realness is often used a synonym for doing dirt. But you will get questions if you speak correct English or smile too much or wear certain clothing or really if you do anything outside of the box that black folks have been forced into. I have seen way too many young brothers that are doing well in school and/or on the field/court end up locked up or dead because they wanted to be accepted and in their mind getting good grades or being a standout on the field was not enough. Too many people allow street culture to define blackness. Just look at how people react to snitches. If you aren't in the streets why do you care? How is that worse that killing, poisoning, or taking from your own people? Beyond that, a lot of snitches are dudes that are in the streets that have no business there but they were lured in becuase it is not only tolerated, not only made to seem cool, but it is far to often held up as the standard. Something about staring at football numbers that helps folks to realize that they have options are aren't actually about that life. That said, we shouldnt' turn our backs on our brothers that are truly in the struggle. We shouldn't look down on them or attack them. However, we also shouldn't glorify them or hold them up as an example of anything other than what we should all be striving and encouraging each other not to be. 50 is a sociopathic troll but he was right on when he said something along the lines of "You shouldn't want to be gangsta. Gangta is something that happens to you." Now he may have just been trying to say something to come off as deep while promoting his album but that is real shyt.

Exactly. Its like when the black power movement of Public Enemy died down in early 1993, it was when people pushed the narrative of doing dirt = being an authentic black man or a "real nikka" . That was when anti-intellectualism was at full swing and had black kids getting jumped at school, simply being honor roll students.

Y’all need to start snitching on these drug dealers, Jackboys, shooters and degenerates.

:mjpls::mjpls::mjpls:


I wanna live around a bunch of black folks in my area, but I’m not about to be a mark to these goons either.

:scusthov:

Living around white folks you gotta be concerned about these nosy ass people who might shoot ya people because they “Think” they spotted a “Trespasser”
:mjtf:



Im tired of this shyt.:unimpressed:
Also snitch on the plain clothes and uniformed cops, as well as the deputized cac supremacists.

fukk that. If a song got you really doing shyt sounds like a weak person problem. I'm sure you've listened to this same type of music and you ain't out here doing that shyt IRL are you? Thats too easy of a copout.
Are you against banning songs that glorify drugs, violence, and disrespecting women constantly? A grown man being influenced by rap is weak, but little kids listen to it and grow up thinking that it's normal to address women as bytches.

No I'm not against and still think its weak. Y'all sound like stereotypical white folks from the 90's with the little kids listen to it and call women bytches. In the words of Sho Nuff negro please. Folks aren't addressing women as bytches off top unless they mad at them or something who you fooling? Dudes might say that around their friends and shyt but just calling jawns bytches nah fam can't co sign that. I listened to all that same shyt and wasn't just calling women bytches, selling drugs, gang banging or none of that shyt. I'm sure a lot of others weren't either so you'll have to use better reasoning than you currently have for it to be banned sorry.

You not getting rid of rap or the 'culture'. You not storming the hood killing the killers, you ain't finna lead them out the hood like the pied piper either. Even if we get reparations it may take a couple generations and the loss of those who are too far gone to even start seeing the real positives in the more dangerous areas. You not getting rid of the criminal element either, it HAS to be made a resource. We need crime organizers moreso than community organizers for this particular issue.

Not only should we not turn our backs, there needs to be serious investment into what should be the black warrior class. It does, to me at least all come back to economics, even blaming it on the 'culture' needs to add context around why/how it got that way and the monetary incentives that keep it afloat. There has to be a way to use some of those same incentives (it ain't always money) toward a different purpose. I always loved how a lot of the FOI cats I knew of were just street soldiers that got formal training and purpose. I think trying to snuff out hustlers and soldiers will ultimately be a bad look.

COINTELPRO GOAL #1: Prevent the coalition of militant black nationalist groups. (or any black militia)

It ain't like if we turned Chicago into the new black wallstreet within the next year or so cacs would just let it thrive and leave it be....where your soldiers at? And if it ain't enough drug dealers in your hood already, government will supply them and send them anyway to get their shyt off.

I just feel like we've put a lot of energy into other methods and a lot of weight on the shoulders of civilians to try and move and shake in war zones...you need street cats and black military to run point and communicate with soldiers. You can't just leave them out of the equation and hope they kill each other off without hitting innocents in the process.

Reperations will just amplify the problem. Just look at PUA all these broke non factor ass nikkas getting these 10 grand and thinking they somebody, buying guns and pretending they been with the shiits when just a month ago you was a dirt ball with no money or gun.
