My question is this, why should we continue to give our money to establishments ran by people who hate us and only barely tolerate us? You meant to tell me black people cant make our own waffles?
.
I’m not with that begging racists to stop being racist. It’s fighting to spend your money at establishments owned by people who hate us
We don’t have to isolate ourselves. A black owned Waffle Joint can serve people of all races. They don’t have to advertise something as only being for black people
I'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.
WRONG!!!!!!
back in the day we HAD black towns and schools and food shops that was black owned completely but the ragning maniacal white man ran through with guns and burned them down, RoseWood, Black Wall Street, others...
8 Successful and Thriving Black Communities Destroyed by Racist White Neighbors
Problem was the black owners was outmanned and outgunned and the laws let the white people get away with it wholehertedly... we died in the fires defending it if we had the weaponry to fight back the military would be called in or the whites would come back in force... why do you think led to the creation of the NRA after the slaves was freed white men kept the guns away from the negros...
Fearing we'd fight back in revenge...
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 companies
that 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.
The mcdonald's still over there next to the park?!!? I haven't been out there in a minute...
Some of us really need to grown up and upgrade from the elementary school insults
