The "militant" stigma here on the coli...

[Doomsday]

I have always been under the impression that 80% of people on this board are

Men pretending to be women and/or vice versa...

White people pretending to be black...

That's really what it comes down to, (and let's not forget the wannabe spanish speakers as well). Your brining genuine black issues and concern to the table with majority non-blacks, where did you think the conversation was going to go? But the sad part is only a few of us have realized that that's the main issue.

If the real ones exercised common sense, they'd be highly entertained like I am, instead of getting emotional and falling for the bait. The idea of other races obsessed and on our jock to this magnitude is hilarious.

So what makes you think that there are more white people on TheColi than black?

Evidence, numbers, etc please.

this last page was some real shyt
shyt makes me feel better about this site...to know not everyone is a complaining cry baby.

Thats how life is though...people who are busy actually accomplishing goals etc... dont have time to sit around worry about each and every thing. So the loudest group ends up being these clowns w/ too much time on their hands.

We are always on their minds. Go to any random country music based forum and see how many blacks are there. Probably little to none. White folks have always had an obsession into how we act, think, dress, speak, etc. They are the ultimate mimics. They immerse themselves into other cultures, white wash them and claim them as their own. By the time you let them feel comfortable they have taken over and switched the tone up. shyts been going on for centuries.

On a another note, its not shocking that there is a urgency to shut up any discussion about race. Humans tend to shy away from things that bring them pain. Even as a baby we are conditioned to avoid things that bring us discomfort. Race for white americans IS uncomfortable. White supremacy is a system that still exists, but they are in a hurry to tell you that racism is dead and we are all on a level playing field. Any deviation from this (ie Trayvon, Ferguson, Oscar, Sean Bell) is a abberation where we must trust the cops and blame the victim. They will argue you on semantics and make up scenarios in their head, speculation posing as evidence and facts (trayvon was mixing up syrup, Mike Brown was stealing, Oscar was unemployed) anything to distract you away from the point that unarmed young black men are being slaughtered in the streets like dogs. The one irefutable point that they never have an answer for is this:

If racism is truly dead, the playing field is level, and the cops act within their rights, why arent young white men and women being gunned down by police in a country where white people are still the overwhelming majority? Where are the white Trayvons, Oscar Grants and Mike Bells?

There are a lot fake militants on this board.. The problem is there are also a lot of real c00ns too..

I try my best to ignore both and rock with the folks with real perspectives and ideas for solutions...

dap + rep

 

[Gains]

some of these dudes turn all militant when they cant bag a pawg

 

[Killer Instinct]

Then there are the Tariq Nasheed/Tommy Sotomayer worshipers

Couldn't care less about Sotomayor, but the incessant need to target Nasheed at this point is laughable.
Don't care about his "macking" background, but his dialogue and actions as it pertains to white supremacy and black mobility have been a breath of fresh air.
By all accounts, he is doing what many of you claim you desire faux "militants" to do, and that's actually engage themselves in the black community.
He's in Ferguson at this very moment.
There are a lot of shyttier prospects black males could be listening to other than Tariq Nasheed.
Any supposed black individual wanting to chastise the man at this juncture is going to need to demonstrate and post the receipts to verify exactly what they have done recently that makes their voice more worthy of being heard than the next man.
It's become increasingly more evident that the bone some of you have to pick with Nasheed has nothing to do with the man's current actions and everything to do with a personal vendetta.

I think the militant mindset is being overused in the booth and coliseum .

Also its hard to take posters serious when they cant drop a link or give proof that there apart of a real physical movement.

someone mentioned that the coli is getting hijacked by whites or rival forums to make everything racial .

I dropped links, invited posters to events, on sohh I had pics n shyt... but cant do that any more.....

But realistically the op is 100% right.... maybe some posters dont Actually do shyt.... but if they r pro black and not c00ns that's good enough these days.... and they get called militants.

You have people like Chris b saying militant and posters dapping it.

And idc about the white posters... but the black ones.... sometimes racial or black empowerment stuff makes them uncomfortable.

Not one pro black person calls themselves militant.. they say pro black or afrocebtric or something

 

[I'm Billy FUCO!!]

Y'all wanna get mad at the 'militant' label, while co-signing the death of people just because they're white

One dude on here actually praised the Sandy Hook shooting just because the kids were white.....and he wished for the death of more white kids, and got daps for it

The coli done been a militant, anti-white/black supremacist forum for a while now....least y'all could do is accept that shyt

Random white person: well maybe if they stopped dressing like thugs they wouldnt be treated like on. * throws on coke boy shirt and camo shorts with timbs *

Problems with militants:

• The overwhelming majority of you have no formal or actual background in the things you speak so definitively and authoritatively on. You lack the proper framework to rigorously and effectively evaluate social theories and ideas. It's akin to someone giving you the keys to a car and telling you to parallel park it and you have no idea how to drive; but you do it anyways. In turn, instead of seeing society as the amorphous and amalgamated entity is it, you easily pare the world into this white and black dichotomy of those who share your sentiments and those who oppose them (e.g. c00n, cac, real nikka). But, even if we excuse this prior concern (no formal background in the subject) the latter issue (i.e. the world in this white and black dichotomy) makes almost any meaningful discussion improbable if not entirely impossible. Nearly any discussion on here devolves into a parade of enthophaulisms because of the aforementioned, which is one reason I never engage in them.

• To elucidate a point I made in the first bullet, if you are going to seriously takes people's view on the world or society, history, medicine, anthropology, etc. and make it a piece of your own perspective, I would do so only IFF they have the appropriate credentials (academic and otherwise) to make such informed claims; and even at that point I would still be leery. People may say, "Well, that's an elitist approach." You're goddamn right. If you are going to have something as important as your world view shaped and cultivated by others, it better be by people who have spent the majority of their adult lives learning and studying such matters in institutions of higher learning domestic or abroad. I could never seriously entertain a thought about sociology from a person that couldn't do a basic search on a GSS website that wasn't already my own -- whether I was highly educated on the subject (sociology) or not. It's intellectual fast-food otherwise centered around a few buzzwords (e.g. self-hate, white supremacy, group economics, et al.) by people who don't really have a grasp of what they're saying, and they often commit the fallacy of a single causation in doing so -- and are oblivious of the other factors that do or may play into a matter. For example, I took micro and macro economics and I read The Economist periodically. Am I qualified to tell you how to build an economy? Hell no. Am I an economist? No, I have a superficial understanding of the subject. Could I posit or postulate some thoughts as to how you build an economy? Hell yes. Could I test these hypothesis qualitatively or quantitatively and support my positions with empirical fact or inferential statistics? Hell no. Could I cite anecdotal evidence supporting my thoughts? Probably. In my appeal to authority, could I systematically further evaluate my anecdotal evidence vis-a-vis study, research (qualitative and quantitative), models, inferential statistics and tell you how that society's economy is generalizable to our own? Hell no. So, why should you listen to me when I tell you how to build an economy? I don't really know what I'm talking about. Some of you digest other people's thoughts way too easily, but that is for reasons I already stated.

I'm going to end this post with something Martin Delaney said in 1852 in, "The Condition, Elevation, Emigration, and Destiny of Colored People of The United States."

"We will suppose a case for argument: In this city reside, two colored families, of three sons and three daughters each. At the head of each family, there is an old father and mother. The opportunities of these families, may or may not be the same for educational advantages—be that as it may, the children of the one go to school, and become qualified for the duties of life. One daughter becomes school-teacher, another a mantua-maker, and a third a fancy shop-keeper; while one son becomes a farmer, another a merchant, and a third a mechanic. All enter into business with fine prospects, marry respectably, and settle down in domestic comfort—while the six sons and daughters of the other family, grow up without educational and business qualifications, and the highest aim they have, is to apply to the sons and daughters of the first named family, to hire for domestics! Would there be an equality here between the children of these two families? Certainly not. This, then, is precisely the position of the colored people generally in the United States, compared with the whites. What is necessary to be done, in order to attain an equality, is to change the condition, and the person is at once changed. If, as before stated, a knowledge of all the various business enterprises, trades, professions, and sciences, is necessary for the elevation of the white, a knowledge of them also is necessary for the elevation of the colored man; and he cannot be elevated without them."

Are you going to tell me Martin fukkin' Delany was a c00n?

I stopped reading at "I can understand white posters doing this...."

Jumping to conclusions is stupid, you should read the whole post before making some grand declaration like that.

THAT is militant and pretty disgusting. But, that's why I was saying that pro black isn't militant...but some people act like it cause they're so aggressive, especially when it comes to the examples you just pointed out.
