Most of what is happening negatively in the community now is due to a trickle down effect from oppression dating to its beginning years back, how cats fail to realize this is baffling

Two things can be true. White folks gotta atone for what they have done and continue to do to us. We gotta stop doing shyt to ourselves. These are not mutually exclusive. Let's say someone beats your ass everyday for years. I am talking real bad, like to within and inch of your life. They are responsible for what they did and need to be held accountable. However, that doesn't mean you should to refuse the treament for the injuries that you suffered or punch yourself in the face or throw yourself down the stairs or celebrate the harm that you are doing to yourself.

I agree that street cats have their purpose. I agree that they need leadership and purpose. That was what Cointelpro did, took away the leadership and the purpose and left angry disenfranchised cats to fend for themselves with no guidance or resources (except drugs and guns of course). I was not saying we should snuff them out but we can't just let them run roughshot over the community and remove all responsbility and accountability. Soilders recieve consquences when they step out of line. Those of us that know better gotta provide that leadership. And part of leadership is correcting. Another part is not encouraging things that hinder the cause.

I feel you, I was actually co-signing you and just wanted to flesh out why turning your back or exterminating street cats wouldn't work and would ultimately play into the game plan of the enemy 100%. But like you said, soldiers receive consequences.

I agree, we shouldn't hurt ourselves, but when the mind is conditioned otherwise, that's battle all in its own to overturn

I don't want to see these same people complaining about White Supremacy at any point.

I notice that a lot of them are Progressives/Bernie Bros that were also shytting on American Blacks for not voting for Bernie Sanders. :jbhmm:

I'm starting to notice a trend here. :jbhmm:

That is real and that is yet another issue we have in our community...mental health. That's why I don't hate or dismiss my brother's out here in the streets, as so many of them are hurting and handling things in only way they know how. As with anything, it's the job of people that know better to help those that are conditioned like that. Not holding them accountable doesn't do that. Just throwing them away doesn't do that either. We gotta correct them and show them the better way with love, not with judgement and condemnation.

If a cac sets your house on fire you can't be standing around in the living room crying about white supremacy. Yeah they set it on fire, but put the shyt out before you take off chasing after them so you have a house to come back to.

I appreciate the dialogue breh.

It all comes down to too many black people see themselves as Better then other black people, so they see no problem hurting other black people, it really is a mental issue

It doesn't have to be violence, just go on YouTube, damn near every video done by black people is putting down other black people. Whether it's dating, finance, history, it's always how messed up black people are, and how they are different. They don't deal with just the topic, they always have to compare another group to blacks with blacks being the worse, and the other group being so much better

It's sad, but imagine if you were a kid seeing this? You would grow up either hating yourself, or trying not to be black, and it didn't come from white people it was your own!

It all stems from the most ignorant tends to be the loudest, but in our situation it's hurting us from image to even get what we're owed such as reparations. The only thing to do is learn history so you know the truth in who you are, and don't support shyt that pushes self hat but it's hard because it's in every aspect of our lives now.

shyt is wild that you have to only spend a small amount of time with your own people or you risk being mentally damaged from self hate. I guess Neely fuller is right, we are toxic to each other.

I understand systemic oppression and poverty breeds violence, but when you pick up a weapon and use to hurt innocent black people, you cease being a victim and become a perpatrator.

The root cause will always be white supremacy, but we are literally fighting a war on two fronts trying to fight against these crackers and these self hating zombie ass nikkas at the same time.

There's no more room for grey area in this matter. For us to optimize our community against external threats, these bad actors within need to be completely removed.
