The Problem With The Black Community Is ZERO Leadership (That HAS TO CHANGE)

[BrandonBanks]

And I really don't think a lot of us really get the reality of the situation: if non-blacks, namely whites, were to bar blacks from being consumers, how would we survive.We don't control any resources. We do not own the means of production to the things we consume everyday. We don't have supermarket chains. We don't own distribution networks to get products from here to there. We don't own and farm enough land to feed the entire black population. We don't own manufacturing facilities to refine raw material. We don't own transportation networks for highways, trains and planes. We don't own a mail system. We don't own media platforms to communicate vital information. We don't own hospitals to help the sick. Etc. I could go on.

So, if whites were to start saying again, "no blacks are allowed to shop here anymore", what would we do? Someone tell me how blacks would survive, much less live in a comparable manner, for more than 1 month. Someone tell me how blacks would travel from one state to another. Someone tell me how blacks would be able to educate, feed, clothe, employ and protect the entire black population with invisible resources.

How many black oceanographers do we have? How many black mining experts do we have? How black logistic companies do we have? How many black train companies and airplane companies do we have? How black manufacturers, not just retailers, do we have? Etc

"B-b-b-but, i got a job!!!" so many think too small. And think all we need is crumbs and to keep begging white ppl to "change".

And when I said power, here's one example, could black men right now demand justice for someone murdered by police (or demand anything really) and actually make it happen?

And do we have nukes ? Do we build our own weapons so that we don't need to go to our enemies for them? Could we wipe out a country or race of people if we wanted to? I'm not saying we should but we need to be have every other race know that we can at any moment if IF WE WANTED TO. But they all know we don't, everyone knows.

We have to be more self sufficient, and stop burying our heads in the sand just because we don't like facing the truth.

The difference between us and other groups are that they have entire community groups full of leaders who all promote success, ensure that they get the most advantages as possible, and who are all on-code 24/7 365.

Its impossible to infiltrate or assassinate anonymous leaders who aren't figureheads and who're constantly making more of themselves to carry on the group mission. Nothing wrong with having vocal 'leader' figures who put in work because it encourages people, but treating them like messiahs/saviors ala the civil rights era?

We need double agents and people making moves in silence.

American Negroes are so lame

Want to be pro black when it's convenient but refuse to take any responsibility for their own destiny

Lead yourself nggz

Search for knowledge of self, live right, and pass that down to you seeds

I know what you said, I can read scrap..Guess you coincidentally missed where I said some people NEED to be directed and given guidance, as well..and why would I be the leader, fall back on the sarcasm we can agree to disagree

I didn't mean be THE leader...I meant be A leader...no sarcasm....are you not equipped to be a leader in your own right? What does that say about you. Fact change can not be affected by a black Messiah. It will take strong independent leaders in communities all across the country. Not Social Media opportunist or tv snobs.. But quiet local brehs to be real leaders of thier homes...families..employment...education..and neighborhoods. Being a leader doesnt have to be some big theatrical show...its the small things. Be a big brother...mentor..FATHER....teacher...activist...just be positive and put out positive leadership. Change oursleves to change our race. Yall ALWAYS worried about the next man....when do you focus on your effort? Be a man breh....stop with these strawman points and theory of solutions....

Idk if anyone has said this bc I haven't read the thread yet, but.

The "black community" does not want a leader. Proof is in the huge turn from religion. Most want to do their own thing regardless of how it affects others. No "judgment" or "shame". Every man for himself type of thing. It's more of an American thing than a black people thing.

Also, y'all need to give up on the protesting/boycotting thing. It clearly isn't working.

How about someone do something to get some laws made and to get things taken to court instead of standing outside yelling and getting arrested?
