Nah you need to read it to see how he disrespects black males and women the entire way...all his speeches are like that...he calls us every ugly name in the book but he never forgets to ask for that money though :mjplsakhbar:

If he said it, I'll hear him say it out his mouth. But if you know the specific thing he said, point it out.
Its the whole speech but go ahead and listen if you want and to all of his other speeches while you are at it

I just listened to the speech and it was nothing about hate. I appreciate your tips though, and will try to implement it.

@Captain_Crunch
Here are some things I've posted over various threads that I placed here. I hope you find them useful. If you wanna chop it up some more, pm me.
There are so many things to do I can't possibly list them all. I will give you a few to get ideas rolling. Glad you want to contribute. What I would suggest that you try to educate as many blacks as possible. If you know of a space, you can hold evening classes/meeting regarding issues: main thing is to give them real data on unemployment, housing/neo-apartheid, net worth, etc. and show them different ways to change it; educate them on the history of the structural implications at the local, state, national, and global level and how to go around it/challenge it. Teach life skills/or survival in a capitalist corporate society; show them how to code shift. And aim at the elementary schools too. One meeting isn't enough, so make it a weekly community meeting. Go to the city council meetings and mayor speeches and call their asses out. bring a coalition with you. Create a neighborhood task force/neighborhood school force that goes into the school systems during the weekly parent meetings and demands the principal give the status of the students in real detail. Find willing college students to coordinate tutorial sessions for all kids and adults earning degrees...
Challenge them to think critically about a situation; don't teach memorization; when you ask the people a question or the tutors ask questions, make them start conditioning critical thinking.
Another thing I do is me and my group hold a film viewing of black cinema and hold a discussion debate afterwards in the community theater. Its free and brings the community out to really discuss how the media portrays blacks and why it happens. We just did 12 Years a Slave.
There's much more so if you want more, let me know
While teaching in Atlanta Public Schools, I was one of the teachers in the all Male Leadership academy where we chose at-risk males to work with them and their parents to prepare for the future. of course, the school only wanted these black boys to pass the bullshyt graduation test and kick them out into the world; but me and a few other teachers made this program extremely beneficial. We hosted these Saturday meetings once a month at the school with parents and students and did workshops on communication skills, household skills, and black history. My component was the black history where I taught backwards-I showed them the recent data and trends of the black majority and how they came to exist (unemployment, incarceration, etc...I basically told showed them how white hegemony works at all levels.). The Saturday sessions were a success and I still get emails from parents and former students on books they are reading and different things they are starting to do.
Weekly, when students perform bad in the classroom, we had a great counselor that stayed in their asses and the parent's asses. Some parents did not have phones, so we emailed, called cell phones, had meetings to discuss strategies to better educating thee kids at home. Some of the students came in on the elementary school reading level, so I translated some works about black history into easier to read texts and gave the parents assignments to do with the student. That way, the students and the parents both got re-educated about the socioeconomic conditions...
We did other stuff too like had bootcamps for math for both students and parents; we sent pamphlets home for parents who wanted to look at enrolling in college themselves; we sometimes taught life skills during our planning periods like changing tires, using tools, what to do if you are pulled over, etc. My favorite thing I did was start a lecture series where we got blacks from all over the city that promote progress to come and speak to the boys. That went really well and they are still doing it today I heard.
Those were just initial things we did but they can continue in the community as well but people need to stop pointing the finger at blacks and get their asses in the community and engage in social movements to BOTH CRITIQUE AND HELP, not just critique
Alot of big stuff, but not impossible. here are possible solutions:
The very first thing that needs to happen is political. People don;t understand that since the 1960s, black leaderships have controlled a VAST amount of the local sector of the United States and those numbers are growing. We have so many black mayors, majority black city councils, etc. that the change really starts with them. These black mayors must demand that the federal government needs to set limits on campaign financing and expenditures so black candidates can continue to have strong campaigns. If they win, they can continue to ask for local, state, and federal aid that will build the black communities us in the city. Now let's be honest, we've had alot of dudes that have turned their backs on us in the past. However, all it takes is one black mayor to stand up: when the bank comes to foreclose a house in the city, the mayor can take a stand, and not let the bank take the house. Remember how George Wallace stood in the door of the school? He was not moving until negotiations went underway. The army came and put on a show, but he wasn't moved until negotiations started. Black mayors can do this as the leader of an urban area. They can tell the bank ceos that "you will not foreclose on the house and move this black family out of the city. You will not destroy the housing project, etc. This will create a wave of demonstrations and behavior that could set up similar demonstrations across the nation. In addition, the mayor can take those bank ceos that illegally inflate loans and such and have their asses arrested. One mayor can be the catalyst. That would seriously cripple the corporate favor throughout the nation; True, the black mayor that does this will catch major, major hell and be a martyr for the cause. But if one black mayor shows that white hegemony DOES NOT control black leadership, then others will follow suit and changes to the economic sector of the black community can come. I think this is the political means to hinder the neo-apartheid.
Socially, we have to change the way our kids are educated, from kindergarten to 12th grade. Structural changes are most important. Whites are continuing a failing education that teaches blacks to go after wage labor jobs and become slaves to the government. The privatization of schools (charter schools) is a major klusterfukk to our progress. These state controlled bullshyt schools are changing the demographics of public schools and removing blacks. We need to gain local control of the school system. By doing this, it will keep reverse white flight from happening. Some will say this can;t happen, but it did before. In the 1970s, the NY public school system did it and it was a success, but the Jewish groups led a massive campaign that destroyed black control of the community schools. We have to stay strong this time. In the curriculum, we need more strong black males in the classroom who provide CONSCIOUS curriculum. Black teachers are middle class, and the more black teachers we have in the city schools, the more middle class blacks will be in the city to keep the community diverse and strong. But we have to start telling kids at a young age that teaching is a powerful profession that will give you more than just some bullshyt dollars: it will give you pride in your community and help to change things. Again, re-education is key.
There is so much more I want to type and strategies I have discussed with others in the community and scholars, but these are just a few select ways to go after the problem. Neo conservatives and capitalists in the thread, don;t rip my head off, I'm just stating the trends and strategies of what I've seen in literature and my experience as a black man that grew up in inner city Atlanta and taught in Atlanta Public Schools. Obviously there are other solutions, but I believe it begins with black leadership making a stand against corporate capitalists, banks, and conservatives.

Definitely fam! I'll be back living in Atlanta in a couple of years when I become ABD but right now I'm in Urbana, IL but we doing big things here with such a small black population. We convinced the city council to stop the building of a prison here so that money will used for school improvement instead. Great stuff homie
and build on that.. network with people already doing things.
