The fact Killer Mike's rules of how Black America can save itself is actually controversial speaks volumes.

don't you think we've failed enough tho?

I try and go out of my way to support our own.

not saying other groups are perfect, but we do a shytty job of supporting each other as Ados Americans.

We do a “shytty job” because there’s competition

Thats capitalism. Alot of people like to hem and haw and sing the praises of entrepreneurship but don’t look at the reality of it. Not everybody trying to deal with taking a loss the first year or being on call 24/7. Its not easy to figure out how to cut hours and balance the book.

The fact that people are focusing on trades and along side continuing pursing higher education, home ownership and reparations is a step in the right direction. People weren’t talking about this 2013, now they are. That’s progress

It just takes time

What’s the problem with

Not having children out of wedlock… it’s one of the main reasons a lot of these women are struggling, broke, homeless

Living within our means…. nikkas running out of the house to live on they own and paying more in rent than they can actually make in a month…. Motherfukkers rushing out here to buy the latest vehicle or $1,000 clothes and shoes, but the refrigerator is empty and lights about to get cut off


Stopped worrying about catching up to white people and try to focus on getting back to black values and building up our own families and communities instead of today trying to out do each other and running away from our problems

I would've said this is conspiracy but we absolutely have factions of the black community trying to normalize a breakdown of the nuclear family.



This is a video thread trying to normalize the dysfunction.



And the responses...







I use to take umbrage with many white people characterizing all black politics and by extension all black people as "leftist", because I believed that black people were more socially conservative. But it looks like we're moving more into that direction than I realized.

Breh you really going to quote someone on twitter called Dr. Durag??

I mean what the fukk?

He is a what? :skip:

Why is he being quoted here though?
1) He's a therapist. He's actually the main person that started the wholee "black men need to go to therapy to unpack mysoginoir" discourse that you see online.
2) he's the loudest voice (along with a few others) telling black women that following killer mike's rules is white supremacy. He's one of the clowns that tried to get killer mike canceled. Yall out of the loop, but knowing yall old heads you'll just say that twitter is insignificant. He's the reason why people started making videos like this:
> now the new blacks got an obsession with him.



Most of the backlash he got was from twitter. Which is why 12 days ago he addressed it. I dont fukk with joe rogan though hes WS:

Reparations are not the answer it’ll literally be that Chappell skit come to life

Nykkas is lost man . I worked hard to live comfortably . A lotta broke nykkas is broke on purpose imo

Maybe like when slavery ended it would’ve made sense but nah . Ban me if u want these just my thoughts

No other group waited GENERATIONS after the atrocity was performed to get their reparations. The Jews, Japanese, and other groups got theirs literally less than 20 years after their injustices were done, but black folk have to wait 160+ years-long after the actual slaves are dead-before any momentum of reparations gets mentioned. Waiting too long will add to massive confusion.

Low class white America didn't save itself

Hispanic America didn't save itself

Immigrant America didn't save itself

The government created the middle class, and created the plethora of wealthy whites you see today. The government helped immigrants get on their feet and help Hispanics to this day.

...but Black America is supposed to save itself?

:dead:

TLRepublicans and some FBA posters believe that shyt, still :snoop:

Black Wallstreet was around when the poverty rate for blacks was over 65%!!!! Most blacks back in the early 1900s were broke and living in fear under Jim Crow.

In the aftermath of the Civil War cacs said Black people weren't getting anything but slaveowners would And that was that.

So expecting the descendants of those same cacs to distribute billions now is expecting something which will never happen.

Also the request seems to be tied in with the belief that money can somehow make being in the US tolerable when that's impossible given the unending obstructionism that every single cac engages in since Black success in the US depends on cac tolerating it, which is insane. But that's how it is.

Furthermore, notice how so called wealthy Black celebrities live in fear every day that they'll say the wrong thing that offends cacs and they get destroyed financially.

Because they know that their "success" is built of sand and can be wiped away in an instant if they offend cacs.

So in that environment reparations are a pointless idea. Since money doesn't give you a magic shield against cac aggression.
