This militant shyt is getting us nowhere

[Pifferry]

Lack of education and knowledge of our history is how they keep us down. "Bread and circuses"
Welfare and reality shows

We need to educate the people, especially of propaganda and micro aggressions.

We need to be less reliant on their media and use our own which is why youtube, Twitter and tumblr have helped spread information and network to make a difference. Social media is a great tool. The coli counts as social media.

We also need to take care of our own. Give back to our community.
It can be something small.

Whenever my mom needed to clean her house or her closets she'd get the neighbors daughter or someone else in the community. And of the clothes she didn't want, they got to keep for themselves and their family. Hire black kids in the community to cut grass, shovel snow. Teach them the value of hard work. Give back and mentor.

A lot of kids don't know any more than then what they see around them. They don't think a positive future is available to them.

When you say "Lack of education and knowledge of our history is how they keep us down." what exactly do you mean?
I agree that changes need to be made to the way history is taught (which I'm passionate about because I believe it's the key to progress and I also believe sociology classes coupled with history should be mandatory) but whenever I see some of the gripes about it on here I feel as though they aren't actually looking at the stuff in the textbooks which I'm acquainted with as someone who graduated this year, how much it is in relation to other topics, and what people take away from the lessons in proper perspective.

I don't understand the goal of a lot of the posters on this site.
Do they really think that they're going to make the big changes they want for black America happen by being so exclusionary and dismissive of all other ideologies?
You don't win people over by telling them they're living their entire lives wrong and you need to hate gays, hate people in interracial relationships, say cac, hate white people and Mexicans and Asians, have my view of history etc etc.
You win people over by doing good works for them to emulate, not insulting them for being ignorant but by giving them the information required for them to come to the conclusion you think that they should, not by going full Kufi and being off putting but reasonable and open about a history they haven't discovered, by presenting group economics as a reasonable process practiced by other groups and possible to achieve with tangible benefits and not some type of segregationist or back to Africa thing because it won't jive with most people, by not trivializing black women interested in black women issues or black women in feminist movements but by being open and seeing their points and not trying to diminish their work down to the influence of white women, by yes talking about cultural appropriation but when it's actually offensive and harmful towards people but not something as trivial as slang (excluding nikka) or a certain way of dress (that's not offensive) or music (when it's not offensive or harmful or something) because no matter how strong you believe in whatever you believe about it the vast majority of people don't and won't come to care unless you're focusing on things they can't easily dismiss or something, by not trying to push some sort of racial superiority towards other groups that I see people doing here under the guise of self love which should really be based off of appreciation for yourself and acknowledgment of who you are, not who you think you're better than, etc etc.
Of course that's not completely true, you can bank on this stuff and try to scare people, whip them into a frenzy, and to full militant but the key to a real long lasting social movement that won't fizzle out into small sects is compromise and balance which I fear most people here don't seem to understand.
But what do I know I'm a cac c00n who's going to get negged for this post probably

working hard for that woat.

1. Schools with a large black percentage tend to be shytty compared to their white conterparts

2. You cant win a fight if you dont know who or what you are fighting.

nikkas don't care breh.

Like I said in the trump thread after him getting fired from various companies, nikkas don't respect themselves.

Latinos said they ain't spending their money at places that support trump and they got a quick reaction.

nikkas can get called "little monkey ******s" by Gucci and they will still wear Gucci.

nikkas waste all they energy on media trolls such as don or raven Simone when yall can simply stop supporting the shyt by not watching CNN or abc and yall post that shyt here too. Why to bring awareness or to get likes and indulge in fukkery? Some of not most of yall ain't even black

Wait......what? The president of Walmart said fukk black people!?

What should we do

wait for a rapper to talk about it

loot?

get mad and cry on the Internet?

make memes



No dummy just stop finacially supporting it.

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

The power is in the MONEY. Start supporting each other, spend money on OURSELVES and people will start catering to you because MONEY IS POWER. Have we learned nothing from the Montgomery bus riots?!! Even the most racist state will sit their ass down and rock with us once they stop gettin our bread.

Said it like 8 million times.

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

nikkas work 9-5s to put money in the pockets of people who don't fukk with you

Black folks are corny. I'm done feeling bad for us. It's my fam and me.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

1 Corinthians 16:14
Let all that you do be done in love.

John 13:34-35
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

1 John 4:8
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Colossians 3:14
And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

John 15:1
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.


1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; .
