I know I'm gonna catch a lot of flack for this, but whatever
I agree, history is important. VERY important. Why else would cacs do everything in their power to white wash it? That being said....Its cool to hear something that was previously unknown to me, but I see a lot of brehs and brehettes put waaay too much importance over shyt that really dont matter when it comes to whats really important.
Like Ok, I get it. Egypt use to be black.....but its not now and how does that help the situation with us in America. I understand a lot of cac music came from us, but obviously nikkas dont care today because they sure as hell aint safe guarding rap/hip hop and I wouldn't be surprised if cacs eventually take over that genre too. I know I know, we were most likely here in the americas first....good to know, but again what is that doing for every brother and sister thats struggling? I see waay to many of my people talk about how great we had it and what we have done, only to turn around and "shyt on nikkas" today. Or too many people who don't care about our youth. And the one quote that rubs me the wrong way is when people bring up growth in the black community whether it be about spending habits, overall behavior, etc is "b b but white people do it too". Stop adding cacs into our equation
And I know nikkas on here like to point fingers and be like, "well what are you doing for black people?". To get that out of the way. Im a land lord and I provide good housing to black military members. I donate to the innocence project every year and do what I cant to fight against privatized prisons. I volunteer at food banks/soup kitchens multiple times a year. I'm not a prince hall mason, my homeboy is and whenever they doing something for the community he know to call me and I'll show up to support. I vote on a local scale to support black needs(yes i voted for stacey abrams). And I coach the lil brehs from the hood in boxing without charging parents a dime, because I know shyt is already tight when it comes to finances.
