This whole Kanye getting cancelled saga proves Matt504's point.

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

It mostly because Cacs of all religious denominations exploit the most ignorant amongst our people for a profit.

They let the word nikka be used freely but would never let the Jooish slur or the word fakkit to be deemed culturally acceptable.

It's sinister these Joos and Cacs are exploiting our under educated.

you still not fully there...

you and everyone who keeps saying it's other people exploiting us that is the issue.

you are still putting the problem and the solution in white spaces, the industry, executive hands etc.

It's other Black people exploiting Black people and until people stop dancing around that there is not change coming.

We don't own anything to have cancelled him from.

You guys really think you drop gems, don't you?

and there it is... that's a lie

Black people make own propel/drive counter culture and popular culture. The labels didn't make what's cool it was Black people that is why Adidas needed a Kanye. Nike needed an MJ. Why labels need Black artists. You discount the value in the people because you think it's all about what we "own" tangibly. it's not us guys it's you guys who are stuck on this Black people can't shyt that are the issue.

we can and should have cancelled him and many others. right now we are at a crossroads with 2 ideals. there's the crowd that is looking at Kanye getting disciplined and all they are taking from it is the same old narrative "jews have power because they own things" vs the people who are witnessing the inherent power in collectivism and learning how to harness it.

We own everything that made Ye, the music sensibilities he draws from as well as the fashion. Kanye sells cool, if Kanye had been dismissed by brehs upon his initial transgressions he would have lost his cool factor that gives his brand worth. When he went to those places and sold his name/brand they didn't tell him he owned nothing despite him peddling perceived worth.

Other people know our worth it's us that don't and until then they will be camped out being voyeuristic ready to sell whatever we drive into popular culture while you repeat the same old tired shyt. we don't run this we don't have that... Meanwhile Virgil was shaping the future of luxury fashion, salehe benbury is killing it in design as well going from lifting sketchers on his shoulders to rejuvenating crocs and New balance. All these companies know our worth. do you?

 

[Matt504]

These dudes....black people ragged his ass for that shyt(especially slavery is a choice) and we still do. Please believe there are interviews he can no longer get. Please believe there are black spaces he can no longer frequent. He got lambasted by the community.

But see folks like @Matt504 hide a lotta hatred for the community behind this concerned front. To me it's plain as day. So they have to pretend Kanye is still welcome with open arms so they can criticize.

If you see what you wanna see you can push any narrative you like.

Concerned front?

I'm long past the point of concern, Black people are completely unserious and that is a fact. I don't have hate for the community, I'm pointing out the obvious which is that Black people have no issue with anti-Black content. Black people who do have platforms continue to platform Black people that have built entire careers shytting on the Black community.

Breakfast Club is a Black platform
Drink Champs is a Black platform
Hot 97 is a Black platform
Gillie and Wallo, Black platform
300 Entertainment, headed by Kevin Lyles, a Black man

All of which consistently platform Black people that create anti-Black content, content that promotes and celebrates the deaths of Black men while the leading cause of death for Black males between the ages of 1 and 44 is homicide. Again, Black people aren't serious and the only time we notice that anti-Black content is acceptable is when other groups stand 10 toes down to shut down the disrespect of their groups.

You got Black folk crying all over the forum right now, "Why is it ok for when everyone disrespects Black people but we can't say anything even if it's nice about the Jews"

Clown shyt.

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

I’m not worried cuz I know it for a fact. They won’t trust those people unless they can fact check it & where do they look to fact check it?

Meanwhile, someone posts something on IG, it gets retweeted 1,000+ times and becomes a fact in the Black community.

Remember, Black people can't get COVID-19.​

 

[LiveFromLondon]

Ok so are brehs gonna draw the line and start going after any disrespect against black people which would include damn nea condeming every rapper posted on this forum. If not then "yall" selling wolf tickets.

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

In his latest interview with the Jewish guy Lex, Kanye asked him

“if I start a all black business is that considered anti semetic?”


Dude wouldn’t say no

 

[OG Talk]

Other communities such as the LGBT and Joo community will not take the disrespect in any shape or form.

Yet Black folks will let these Cac executives of all religious denominations spoon feed us this self destructive filth that we call art.

90% of modern Black entertainers are sellouts that profit off of negative Black stereotypes.



@Matt504

If Kanye was serious about his point, he would do the following..



1-Create a Black owned record label and sign nothing but Jewish teens that advocate killing their people, drug abuse and disrespecting their women…






















2-Then take 80% of their profits in perpetuity…






































3-Then accuse everybody of anti Black racism when they tried to challenge his business practices….

 

[gho3st]

I can't even take credit for making this point as it's so obvious that even children should be able to recognize it.

Every time I see Black people in threads asking "why didn't any of this happen when Kanye made anti-Black statements" I just shake my head. We really don't get it.

That whole “you wanna know who’s in powe, see who you are not allowed to criticize is true”

 

[Lonj]

That is thier job , thats why they bought essence & BET & every other media organization. these demonic people get paid to do that. they get to find an angle against us and put it out for the world to eat it up.

Real shyt but I been noticing a lot of low-key caping for them people on here. Any criticism and brehs are quick to absolve them and place the blame solely on black entertainers. Which, don't get me wrong, black entertainers are for sure complicit but let's not act like they haven't had a hand in the fukkery. They've been subverting black entertainment, buying out black owned companies and severely watering down the content for decades now.

No I don’t.

im not saying that we dont need repair from over 300 yrs of chattel slavery. But these evil Jews are spreading misinformation about us on a global scale. They don’t care about the advancement of our community because their job is to spread lies about us.

 

[GoldenGlove]

You call it cancelled, Ye calls it freedom.

That's the difference.

 

[StackorStarve]

That's not the point. Changes on a macro/large scale start with incremental small scale then when all those small changes are aggregated then they become large.

The Black community in the US has never had access to wealth EVER and have been under siege forever HOWEVER the behaviors of those Black people post-Reconstruction and during Jim Crow segregation was still on some get an education, get married, have a STABLE household with dual income and support so children can be raised in the right environment and add value to the community DESPITE operating under a system of white supremacy.

You have to do the simple things and controllable things in life right in order to take on the more challenging things in life. If the constant form of entertainment (replayed all over again) is about how you kill "nikkas" (which is supposed to be a term of endearment according to some ppl but I digress) , fukk hoes and other destructive messages in the micro level, then you have no shot at tackling the macro issues such as wealth inequality and systemic challenges. If you cannot pick the right partner in life who is not going to leave you and force you to raise a child/children by yourself, then how are you going to take on the larger challenges. These things are controllable as individuals.

That's why folks are attacking destructive entertainers with destructive messages because it is extremely harmful to impressionable minds and the culture overall. Am I saying that if Mos Def and Talib were on the radio 24/7 and was the only form of entertainment consumption, white supremacy would be over? Of course not but the reduction and elimination of destructive violent forms of "entertainment"definitely adds value to the community.

Your daily behavior and how you interact with other people matter and that's why ppl talk about vibes/energy. Just because you cannot see a direct correlation with constantly using a demeaning term and economic prosperity does not mean that the usage of that term does not have negative effects on our interactions and how we treat each other. I do not know about you but I am not in the business of demeaning and denigrating other people (especially those who look like me) even if I do not see a correlation to access to wealth

Well said and I overall agree with your statement. My only issue is the entertainer part of your argument because crime rates were worse before gangster rap became a thing in the late 80s. Crime rates in the inner cities of NY and Chicago were at their peaks in the 70’s. So I acknowledge it can be detrimental to impressionable kids I just think rap is often times used as a scape goat when we have bigger issues to tackle that’ll take real effort and thought to solve.

they bought those entities because they could for profit and because they were for sale. the rest is conspiracy. like i've said before when brehs wanna duck responsibility all over sudden the white man becomes this omnipotent opponent. so you suggesting they planned all this for exploitation they made the Black rappers make music disparaging Black people so they could sell it to the world and all these people including the participants/entertainers are helpless mindless of it....

this is what people have to tell themselves to escape reality and this is why the problems are not getting handled. dudes are hiding behind grand conspiracies and feelings of helplessness.

We had a thread on here last week about his shoes and majority of people are not willing to stop wearing them. But then we do a thread like this and it's why didn't "they" cancel him. Man people need to stop playing and stand on something.

Jews have leverage because they have finances that they use to buy politicians. Regular white people don’t give a fukk about them. Jews stay in tight knit communities and share their wealth and they’re able to do that because the government leaves them alone. Our government literally helped create a country for them based off some European beef that had nothing to do with Americans. We as black people don’t have the same access to wealth and when we’ve tried to group up to build it those groups have been infiltrated and destroyed over and over again. Using or not using the word nikka will not create financial stability in our community or buy politicians to get policies that benefit us passed. Y’all are obsessed with rappers.

Every journey starts with a first step. Ceasing to use a degrading word, because the nword no matter how you spell it is degrading, is a step towards moving us towards a self-affirming community that works on our own betterment.

Each time I see that supposed 'term of endearment' used, the vast majority of the time it is used in a manner no different from the root word it came from. We have not taken that word back and made it better, we have taken the word and made it universally used with the original root word still being in existence. We seem to understand under some circumstances words have power, but are blind to other times when those words happen to be ones we like to use as a pejorative. Again, let's be honest with ourselves and admit that nikka, n*gga, ninja, etc. are mostly always used as pejoratives. We need to recognized that calling ourselves something that we mainly spit out in fits of anger does not help us mentally as a people at all. It in fact makes it easier for us to accept other forms of debasement instead of encouraging us to uplift ourselves.

Look at reply 54

 

[Mordith]

No- WE let it be used freely.

You still don’t get it. WEEEEE made it a “term of endearment”. WE said we “took back control of the word”.


WE fukked up.

Do you see Jewish people in the street saying “My k_ke!!” ? Do you hear shouting it in music or film? Naw, that’s US.

We are a lost people for real.

Is there anyone who believes this isn't a CAC in digital black face?
