the community isn’t a monolith

[ItsPeople]

but what are some things the community should absolutely be monolithic about?

For me it’s not defending anyone who calls you any variation of a n.

I can’t remember who he was but this guy was accused of calling someone a n and now he a breh who he takes around the country with him to speak on his behalf to convince people that his massa isn’t a racist.

Getting married and raising children in a 2 parent household.

Need I say more?

If there's no solidarity, then there is no community. There are communities tho. The person you talking to is not kin.

 

[Vandelay]

Celebrating gang/drug culture

and developing a cram school culture, conditioning studying to be apart of our culture

This, education and community... The things you can accomplish with little money if you're hungry about making it happen.

At this point we are so divided mentally and spiritually that I can't think of anything.

For example, I could make a thread right now about how insane it is that blacks call each other the Nword and ill be attacked by other black people in disagreement for making the thread. Some black people are PROUD "n1ggas" and will literally get upset with you for attempting to tell them otherwise.

I could make a thread right now about how insane it is that we make music about robbing, shooting and killing each other and the thread will be flooded by black people telling me I'm wrong and that it's "just entertainment".

I could make a thread right now suggesting that we not refer to our women as "b1tches & h0es" and the thread will be flooded with cats calling me a simp.

The overall VALUE & SPIRITUAL SYSTEM is so broken that I can't think of 1 thing that would be agreed upon.

At this point anything goes and there will always be a group of black demons ready to attack you for simply speaking the truth

as long as the solution isn't "we need to go back to church"

There’s way worse things afflicting the black community than namecalling and dated terminology. Let’s be men and be serious.

Intelligence in reading books, yeah.

But the Cram studying culture is a sign of authoritarianism like Cuba and China and Russia and the legacy of 19th Century Prussian Empire tactics to tolerate injustice. We need more TED Talks style education that is popular in Northern Europe that specializes in teamwork and sharing valuable information freely, without hostility. More valuable knowledge, less high-pressure stakes like standardized testing.

True. Like why are some black parents literally abusing/neglecting their children?

We're gonna pretend like the church didn't provide a structure for black ppl? A lot of good things did come from the church, including the likes of MLK. The church gets a bad rap in the black community due to the actions of hoodlums and charlatans as well as the fact that cacs used the Bible to enslave and pacify black ppl. But it was also used to liberate black ppl.

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

We gotta get tough on the dredges of our community, bar none.

 

[BaggerofTea]

anti blackness in any shape way or form.

Both the run your mouth about black people c00ning and the killing a fellow black human being c00ning

Breh these idiots don’t know shyt about the connection between black people and the church and it’s not even that hard of a thing to grasp.
