Real shyt, what do you actually EXPECT academics to do other than talk and study and learn and try to teach?

Whose agenda do you think most black academics educated in PWI's is gonna push?

I've told yall once, and I'll say it one last time... Education =\= Liberation

Not at all...... It was just vague grandiose posting.......

I mean.... hegemonic structure? In America? :dead: You will have to fill in a shyt ton of details to get someone to even sit down and listen to what you'd have to say.... and I mean a shyt ton


Tariq and Jason Black have the reliability to the layman but they are not educated enough to create any meaningful objective

Black academics have the education to create but often they either are cowards/sell outs or can't reach the common man

:tu:

Nothing at the macro level but tons of little victories here or there. Nothing that will tumble capitalism, economic apartheid and fascism. The dialogue they create is a gate way for many Blacks to gain knowledge of self but that dialogue is rarely purposeful action.

Who knows? Maybe they will *inspire* those Blacks who actually liberate us.

They don't work together enough to gather any resources. They definitely don't tie knowledge of self into tangible actions. Knowledge of self should be the first step to group economics and then we work from there.

I'm not sure why you responded to me with that response. My mentality is I don't actually give a fukk what agenda they're trying to push because I'm not expecting anything out of an academic nor am I looking up to one. Y'all are putting too much faith/power in people who have essentially spent their lives learning shyt as opposed to doing shyt. :yeshrug: A lot of these guys are just career learners.

Really what's happening is y'all (not you specifically necessarily) are putting all of your stock into hoping somebody will "save us" instead of just going out there and doing what you can on your own, and make your own life better.

Can you please elaborate on this, because I find this interesting. Jason Black especially seems to think he is the end all know it all of black economics. I notice that most of his audience(including me sometimes I must admit) know jack sh*t about economics...

Are y'all really trying to shyt on black folk for making any and all sorts of attempts to dismantle the systemic barriers designed to hold us all back?


It's new age activism, and technically, it's proven effective so far.


Too real.

The way he talks about an economic base is juvenile. You need capital before any of that.

Lol exactly, Jason Black is decent on current events that are not about certain social issues, but the same thing he crticizes others for he is doing the same thing. There is only one solution yet you continue to have weekly shows and he is even working on a new project, after the initial 7am (really after Marcus Garvey) blacks should have been done talking anout what needs to be done and started doing it. JBs fans are just as bad as cult like hotep people just they replace the buzz word hotep with the buzz phrase "group economics". At the end of the day claud anderson has been giving literally the same speech for 20 yrs yet the same people go to every event to hear the same thing, the only talking that needs to he done now are spefic instructions on how to obtain capital and where to invest, NOBODY is doing this and even then this is something that must be discussed behind closed doors. Telling every one "start a business" as if that is some generic process or all that needs to be done is just as bad as what people crticize other groups are doing. All these people being told to start business end up starting soul food spots, blogs, and selling crap on amazon or flea markets, none of that is creating infrastructure, ironically Louis Farrakhan is the only person talking about farming, construction, and transportation yet everyone disses him.
