Sohh I'm reading the book "Assata" and this caught my attention...

[MikelArteta]

we had been completely brainwashed and we didn't even know it. We accepted white value systems and white standards of beauty and, at times, we accepted the white man's view of ourselves. We had never been exposed to any other point of view or any other standard of beauty. From when I was a tot, I can remember black people saying "nikkas ain't sh*t", "you know how lazy nikkas are". "give a nikka an inch and he'll take a mile", everybody know what nikkas like to do after they eat : sleep. everybody knew that nikkas couldn't be on time, nikkas dont take care of nothing, nikkas dont stick together. To varying degrees we accepted these statements as true. And to vary degrees we eacch made them true within ourselves because we believed them.

Come on breh, you can't spend $10 and buy the book to support Assata

shyt costs 9.99 on Kindle. Or even better find a black owned book store and buy it from there

I just bought it on iTunes the other day but I'm sure Assata wouldn't mind people getting the information however they get it.

If that's the case why didn't she give the book away for free instead of selling it

At the very least you could have posted the iTunes link along with the free one and let nikkas know they should purchase it.

We can't be shooting ourselves in the foot like that breh.

Yeah she's selling it but just like a library or passing the book to others physically..the message is still getting through to those who want or need it.

We've had a black book club on the coli where we shared black book links it's never been a big deal.

I understand where you're coming from but if someone is trying to get the knowledge who am I to try and force them to spend money they might not have? I supported but I can't knock anyone who downloads anything because I have tons of those ebook packs.

I know about the black book club. And I was the one that said in that book club we should find a black book store to buy them from instead of sending out links and nikkas made every excuse not to (which is why I'm not a member of it).

Come on fam, if we don't support our own shyt, who will? The fact that there's good information in that book is more reason for us to actually support the author financially.

shyt like this is why there's so few black owned book stores today and why when you go to a cac owned book store, shyt by us is regulated to a 2x2 foot section in the back of the store by the dumpster

We talk about group economics on this site constantly, then turn around and don't buy shyt from each other
