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.
