Voting. We aren't Asian Americans. We aren't Arabs. We aren't Mexicans. We aren't Jews.

There are entire swaths of people in this country who would weaponize politics against us if they had their way. We need representation in politics simply because we are who we are and our history of oppression in this country.

I am not belittling group economics but its hard to practice it when you're constantly under the threat of laws specifically created to harm you.
Yep and it has happened many times before. We create a successful micro economy and the man legislates it out of existence or builds a new highway right through it.

Question is dumb because political power translates into economic power. You need both

Im not sure how y’all have spent all these years watching billion dollar corporations buy politicians at every level and came to the conclusion you don’t need to be involved in politics to raise yourself up economically :mjlol:

Y’all gotta stop believing the lie capitalists push about hard work

Economic power translates into political influence. You can’t play the game without any money.

Group Economics. Its irrelevant where one's political alliances lie. As long as there is a positive and active effort to accelerate black wealth. This mean obtain, retain and maintain resources within black communities. On a global scale Africa is teeming with natural resources and is projected to have an explosion of human manpower. However, its crippled with corruption and tribalism from people who prioritize self interest. That alone is evidence of the futility of voting. Whenever elections roll around these multinationals finance and invest into campaigns to secure their self interests. China's and Singapore's ascension to power is/was built of smart financial choices. Jewish Zionist used their wealth to hedge strong socio-political advantages. South Korea has this concept of Chaebols (link) - families owned / controlled conglomerate. These industries control 84% of their nations GDP. With that kind of financial power do you think you cannot influence the political affairs or landscape? You'd have to be an absolute fool to think voting gives you any power.

WE need to stop thinking that white is superior. Reverse the brainwashing and self hatred it creates for ourselves. Otherwise none of this shyt matters.

No you get your candidates in first. nikka ur not out bidding some corporation for a Kristen Sinema vote :mjlol:

Y'all don't understand the game. Remember stuff like the Tea Party, that didn't start off as some well funded thing. It costs the Koch's pennies to get that shyt going but they had to get their candidates in first before they could actually use the big money to get things done.

Tea party is literally a thing. Y'all don't pay attention to shyt then attack people that do :russ:

Trump didn't pay shyt for his presidential campaign either compared to his opponents. Dude just used the internet and had white folks out there mad as fukk about a black president.

Group Economics. Once you circulate the trillions in buying power among the community, then you can have more leverage.

Especially when it comes to begging for your vote / support.

Nah if you got no image or respect or value. You can’t be placed in those positions.

Black ppl need more infrastructures then we can leverage that for bills, positions, etc.

The Tea Party had super rich CACs that were bankrolling their political campaigns...You think Marco Rubio was funded by grassroots:aicmon:...And was the Tea Party platform based on preserving capitalism or destroying it to install socialism?:usure:
