Telling brehs NOT to pursue careers in law enforcement, military, politcs, etc. seems like hustling backwards to me.

How "pro-black" do you have to be to think having ZERO black people in positions of power/influence in this country will somehow make it better for us?

Obviously yeah some are gonna be c00ns frfr but it is what it is There are c00nish doctors, psychologists, dentists, and engineers.


Whenever I see someone say some shyt like that I know they don't critically think

 

[Luke Cage]

Stupid af. Power and influence comes from those jobs.
Moreover every person i know who retired early and didn't have to work their whole life was on some kind of government job pension plan.

 

[NinoBrown]

They about to make a drunk, rapist, war criminal SecDef...

Cops are KKK without the badge...

I'd rather move work or hustle than be apart of those organizations in the Trump Era..

Some of these posters don't live in the real world.

My aunt is black. Did 30 years in the Navy. She retired now, life is gravy, she ain't got to do shyt.

If you don't believe in the laws, reason for conflicts, or government it doesn't make sense to be enforcing them. Changing the laws is different from literally frontlining and putting your life and other people in danger

My aunt was a fed. I also have a lot of family that went in the military, some law enforcement. Those Black folks wanted to make their world better. I've even got firearm training from a lot of Black LEO / Military folks.

There is little to no place for us in right wing politics. With that said we have a pretty high presence in the other areas you mentioned and it's growing.

If you are only discussing the sentiment and not the numbers I agree. It's goofy. Especially military.

It's funny because you climb up the ranks as a black man the people at the top are white... you mean nothing your just a figurehead. they would never let a black man be at the top with unfettered control... You can join those organizations all you want... just be aware there's always a ceiling for you...

 

[Voice of Reason]

They are idiots. If Black folks were over represented in certain industries such as policing that would give us political leverage.

We have to change the white supremacist culture though.

OP

Be careful who you pay attention and listen to. Random people saying random shyt doesn't amount to anything

 

[UncleTomFord15]

I literally made a thread saying more black people should become cops like 7 years ago, thread was full to the brim of cats making excuses and pretty much implying that that's "selling out".

No one here is going to pay anyone else's bills or uphold their financial responsibilities. They are not going to feed you nor your family. That being the case, their view on what legal professions you pursue is irrelevant as it pertains to the trajectory of your own life.

You right breh, ESPECIALLY the military where you can work your way into a position of power (to varying degrees) by just working and staying in long enough and not being a dumbass. Its also probably the easiest way into the middle class/financial flexibility.

For as little wealth the black community has collectively, telling brehs not to join something that will teach them a real skill, keep them (relatively) healthy, and most importantly pull them out of poverty and give their family a huge step forward in life. And im just speaking on enlisting.

If you tell brehs not to commission... let me just say, as a former black enlisted member, we desperately need more black officers in the military. I'll keep it at that.

Black people have reached the top in all these areas.

-This. I tell young Black people all the time we need to stop screaming fukk the police & actually start being the police. Gang members aren't beneficial soldiers for the community.
