I have to know who I’m fighting before I go into the ring with them. Thats basic
Here is the problem my brother, we are fighting ourselves. The other ethnicities are taking advantage of our conflicts, but we are the ones actually volunteering to create those conflicts, debased imagery and thought processes. In order for us to actually defeat our external enemies, we first have to defeat our internal ones.

I believe that no matter how much we heal. The Jews will always take advantage of our mistakes. i refuse to believe that we are solely responsible in this fight.

the masses would’ve never heard this song if it wasn’t distribute.
They also would not have heard it if it was not made in the first place. We can't expect non-Black people to make decisions in our best interest. They are going to do what is in theirs. We have to be the ones to make the decisions on what is best for us. We can make our own distribution centers, we did it before. So we could, if we really had the desire and will, create music for us that was not pushing some form of debased hedonism or abject hatred of each other in the form of lyrics about killing each other.

No matter what, other groups are going to take advantage of another groups mistakes. That is human competitive nature. We as a group must endeavor to limit our mistakes and turn around and take advantage of theirs, if we want to survive and thrive.

Kanye def sold out but black people stopped fukking with him over a decade ago.

The glow in the dark tour was supported by all white fans.

Wasn't packed with black people. Any time you go to them concerts it's scores of white people.

It's mainstream news that whites are the ones who go to concerts.

Black folks still steal or illegally download music or just stream from YouTube. Any rapper will tell you that.

The black community is powerless to cancel anyone. We might not tune in or go to shows or movies but we aren't getting anyone fired. We might fukk up someone's money for a little bit but we aren't breaking anyone. The rest of America and the world will keep them afloat.
We aren't powerless, we don't choose to use our power. First thing is stopping this music that brings down our people, raise our kids right.

Stop the culture Vultures and c00ns.

Black people have a history of being exploited. From the motherland, to all around the globe, we are kindest and most forgiving and simultaneously the most unforgiving and critical of ourselves.

It's so much history that goes in so many directions its almost impossible to pinpoint where and how it all started. As black americans though, we full of trauma, its so vast and deep you can ask 50 black people what we need to do to progress and you'll get 50 different answers. Its hard to understand the trauma if you've never really experienced or witness up close and personal. The reason's black american's move, act and think like we do is similar to the behavior that people as a whole generally go into debt when they get credit cards and loan. We all understand or at least learn or know how we should handle bills, but we aren't equipped most the time to handle it, and even if we are its not setup for us to be successful dealing with it.


You don't have to agree with ye, or like him but black people especially should be protecting and sticking with him. You don't have to agree or like the dumb stuff he says alot of the time. I don't agree with 90 percent of what he says most of the time. Regardless he's a black man that is mentally sick, but also sane from time to time, yet crazy and while he is a iconic and front page in the media, your homie who works at bestbuy, or the homeless man or the youngin baggin up aint, and yall cool with them. A lot of them nikkas actually hate nikkas. And you cool with them all.

With all the inherited trauma there also comes greatness, and that's what scares people.

Stop using the word nikka.



Stop streaming and watching ignorant folks like Boosie and these other walking sterotypes.



And stop letting other communities have so much influence in our community.



The last sentence is a contradiction of you and Matts point. You dont want other communities to have influence. But you want jewish people telling black people what kind of music they can make,and what we can and cant listen to?

I've heard that and I think it's the opposite. Black people aren't forgiving and kind because they want to be or because they're fundamentally that way.

They are because if they don't forgive and aren't kind then they have to fight who did them wrong. And they don't want to. Because the fight has been taken out of them by defeat after defeat over the centuries.

I love how we’re simplifying Kanye rightfully gettting his blackballed for making actual Nazi germany arguments to just simply “getting cancelled” as if he doesn’t fukking deserve it lmao. Mind you he made white supremcist arguments aganist black people as well. He deserves everything he gets

I mean, Kanye made that same point

Who cares tho, question is wat can we do about it?

Stop spending money on these people.
Stop giving them platforms and energy.
Stop featuring them in our music.
Boycott any show/artist/company that does.

Its very easy. Kanye would not be at this point if Black people operated the same way the Jewish community and LGBTQ communities do. You come out against them and you will be shunned, banned and prohibited from making money off them.
Kanye said that shyt about George Floyd and was on Drink Champs the next week. Explain to me how that "helps" black people?


Not spending money is NOT HARD. We ain't even asking muthafukkas to walk instead of taking the bus. We asking you to not download an album or watch a show. The bar is in fukking hell, brehs.

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.
We have no other modern example of people who had to contend with a history of 400+ years of chattel slavery and how they recovered from it. We have no idea how long it takes to fully recover from something like that. No idea what it actually takes to treat the repercussions from that. And that is the problem. Not everybody agrees with what to do with that word. It's unfortunate
