I see your point better nowI've never said this. Don't play me like that, family. That shyt is done. Racism is baked into this country. It's not going away.
I don't have a problem with anything you just posted. But, there is no avoiding white people in all places of life any where in a country where it's 75% white, not to mention the amount of white people in positions of power everywhere.
That's what confuses me. Where do ya'll live in America where black people are in control of everything?
Just as I boycott the NFL, I understand I didn't solved a problem, I just avoided one. If I think all these owners are racist, there should be a penalty for that. They all are making money off of tax dollars taken out of our checks and charged with our goods.
The way capitalism works, now, "not giving them your business" is not a hit.
H&M took more of a hit from Amazon than us, when that Monkey shirt came us. Brick and mortar is dying everywhere.
If we "make our own waffles" then we still have to deal with white people (local governments, banks, laws, police, etc.) to open and maintain a business.
I repeat, please boycott a Waffle House if you feel uncomfortable. A white person's racism can cost us our life.
I'm trying to find a good way to responds, because now ya'll getting combative like we fighting or something.
Breh, you know I know all of that.
Rosewood, Tulsa, etc. That's widely known history. What does any of that change in what I posted?
Read your link--they were destroyed.
Now, I gonna deal with you calling me a "c00n" because I'm gonna say the problem is we didn't have the same protections from the gov't to protect our towns.
The isolation always made us easy to attack and exploit. Again, there's a reason we keep going to the past and there aren't "thriving," now. This is why we aren't demanding more banks and less check cashing places in our communities.
It's crazy; we live in a country, are bound by their laws, pay taxes and we have to feel like we're begging because we feel we should get something in exchange for all that.
Breh, I bough your book, you market on Instagram, off Amazon.
Two white owned companiesthat doesn't make you any less of a black man.
Should Facebook, Instagram and Twitter just close every black person's account because "we shouldn't be depending on white people, anyway. Let's all go to Blackspot" (no shots at Blackspot, also)??
Your internet is prolly Time Warner's, AT&T, Sprint, etc. infrastructure.
You're not a bad person for that.
All this "Black Oasis" stuff got us ignoring real world problems so we can fantasize about what was and what might be.
I'm all for it, actually. But, it's gotta start with recognizing where we are right now, before we get there.
I love my people and what to be around us (that's why I bought your and other black artists' stuff), but, we've got work to do, first.
Respect for responding in an even keeled manner and not having a mental breakdown, and calling me a CaC or other names just for disagreeing with you
Man I remember me and my boy went there and they had chicken and waffles ..he ordered it and got some bullshyt ass chicken tender and a waffle

Never been but from what the coli tells me, it's a worldstar dream after midnight. Even saw some people saying it should be closed after midnite. They're locking doors after the club closes right? Not family hours? If it's family hours that's bullshyt, if it's drunk hours, I can't say that''s a bad thing. Less WSHH videos.

You right. And I completely understand your point. I know we are demanding that white folk stop acting a fool and actually live up to the words and ideas they claim to respect and embrace. But all this damn marching around and protesting can feel like begging sometimes. Because it's done all the damn time and shows no sign of stopping and it's about the same shyt as well. But a naga be tired of the bullshyt. I might be the only one that at times want to just pick up, build my own shyt, and keep my money in-house and just sayfukk'em. I have no interest in running away from white people or helping them enforce segregation of any kind. But damn it, I just want a break from the bullshyt.
I see articles like this and I'm just like fukk your waffle, I'll flip my own.
I figured this was what you were insinuating which is why I said I heard you. I get it. It’s played the optics are bad but retreating and creating our own “safe space” that makes us feel “comfortable”, and in effect, makes white people feel “comfortable” because of our absence from “their” space, puts a bandaid on the problem and doesn’t solve the underlying issues and reinforces this ill-begotten notion that they have in which they think they are entitled to and have the luxury to be able to operate in spaces that are devoid from black people. No, they don’t.
It’s a noble endeavor to start our own businesses and have our own things, which I support wholeheartedly, but to run and do our own thing as a “solution” after every single instance of discrimination and ill-treatment of Black people, is the wrong way to go and actually falls in line with what white people want, which is, as someone else aptly called it, “nikka free” spaces.
You see, what we’re really doing is acquiescing to a very widespread and pervasive concept among white people of white entitlement, ownership, privilege, and rights to any place or space that they occupy in this country. This is the problem that many people in this very thread can’t see or incorrectly prescribes as boiling down to money. And what I’m saying is that concept is bullshyt because black people, by way of our history here, have access to that same space through entitlement, privilege, and right. They know it, but black people don’t realize it. Africans were in this country before the Pilgrims. Think about that fact. However, we don’t move like it. We don’t move like everything that is significant about this country is because of us. It’s like we tip toe around in our interactions and have this beta mentality. And white people and other people respond in kind.
If I can use an illustration:
Black people are trying to get from point A to point B. In order to do so, there is a road, in between the two points that we can take that gets us to point B directly. However, white people have the audacity to come along and say that black people are not able to traverse this road any further up to a certain point, which is shy of point B. Pass that point, it’s exclusively reserved for whites. So they continually do things to antognize and make us feel uncomfortable so that it discourages us from taking that road entirely.
What many of you are saying in response to this is, let’s go back to point A and let’s build an alternative road to point B since white people don’t want us traveling down the other road. Black people can have our own road and not have to be made to feel uncomfortable by whites as we travel from point A to point B. They can have their own space and we can have ours.
I think it’s great that we build an alternative route that makes black people “feel” comfortable. That second road will also make black people competitive so it’s definitely needed. But it does nothing to address the underlying problem which is white occupation of space that isn’t singularly theirs and their audacity to tell or be able to have the right to tell a group of people who equally share in their right, where to get off. It’s absolutely ludicrous. And we allow them. There is no domain in the United States where black people should feel that they are restricted. They don’t get to have the luxury of “nikka free” spaces in this here country. If they want that they can go to back to Europe or some shyt.
The alternative is black people saying fukk that. I’m not building no second road because white people feel uncomfortable with our presence. And we’re not going to allow them to make us uncomfortable as we use this road because we know that our people toiled in the fields beside this road and we know that our people bulldozed and leveled the dirt and then paved the gotdamn road for it to be created in the first place. So not only are we entitled to use this road, white people have no sole rights to even designate a white space or a black threshold. We are going to cross that “white only” threshold to get to point B, we’re going to cross it and dare them to say something and when they do we going to act a gotdamn fool. And we going to do this every hour of everyday until it chips away at this white complex of feeling they can get away at dictating what space is exclusively their domain in a place that black people also built.
It’s not the best example and there are a lot of holes that can be poked but I hope that it illustrates the point.
Is there an economic component, of course. But that’s not the underlying problem. The problem is mentalities that low key are enforcing an inferiority/superiority complex between black and white interaction which dictates how we move in a country that is equally ours.
They don’t get no days off. And I’m not going to let them feel like they can get a break or can retreat to “white only” spaces or be able to dictate what are and what aren’t nikka free spaces.
They can get all the way the fukk out of here with that.
Most of you would disagree here but my black ass would show up to that bama ass Waffle House every day after that incident and bring pookie and rae rae right with me. And if they even look at me wrong I’m gonna act ignorant as shyt so that it burns their souls slowly. Most likely not gonna even eat the food but white people can’t make me feel uncomfortable in the house that my own people built. And they certainly are not going to restrict me from any space that I’m equally entitled to as well.
Aight, done with the essays.
OK, so they were open. So my response would be, fukk them, call them out, but if they are known for this type of shyt I wouldn't ever go there.

Why are so many people making this an issue about white acceptance? Nobody gives a fukk about white people or their acceptance. It's my goddamned right to be able to go into a public place and be served just like every other paying customer. Starbucks here in Philly, Waffle House in Pinson, AL, white people are literally trying to bring Jim Crow era practices back nation-wide and because we would choose to demand our most basic rights as a black people, as human beings, that's somehow seeking white acceptance? I don't get it.
