I know I'm in a Squirrel thread, so responses will vary but this is what it is.

Black people bought into integration as an achievement and organize their political dealings around compromise to remain in that system.

Add in the wealth gap and other stats we are at the bottom in...

Throwing the baby out with the bathwater as well. Good luck to us black people in the future.

But im not talking about anything.

:lupe:

I just don't know what it will take. I'm just looking for some open minded thoughts.

The only true answer is:


1. Invent life changing products which will be sought after, universally. And retain close to 100% of the business.

2. Start owning big name companies. No, I’m not talking about being made a ceo or president of some company that can always get rid of u. Nah. I mean legit ownership of big name companies. Tyler Perry got the right idea but not quite.

3. Stop putting white skin on a pedestal.

Most nations are formed by occupying land and establishing borders and strongholds with a military.

Not happening in 2021.

I think either reparations or a coordinated land purchase to build a city or town in an annex immune to federal jurisdiction which is a longshot.

40 acres and a mule still stands as the most plausible solution.

The Midwest might work if enough people join in.

I think living in North America with cacs is almost counterintuitive.

Honestly we should look to Africa.

Its damn near impossible, what black nation is unified?

The funny thing is, is that black americans are the most likely to unite, despite not having a country of our own.

We are more on code than all of the other Afros.

It would have to be a world wide war against us for us to unify.

There’s more than one way to skin a cac.

For African centered folks they should look to places like Ghana that already have AA communities on the ground or places like Liberia or Sierra Leone which have a historic connection to the diaspora and would make many AAs valuable in those societies due to their skills and expertise and even their expectations on proper governance.

For those more rooted in America, start strategically taking back states with high populations of Black folk in order to create one large voting bloc with actual influence in the Legislative branch via Senators/Congresspeople voted in by an empowered Black mass which is the majority in their region.

Inbetween both of these methods needs to be a slew of tangible economic projects to link African America not just with the continent of Africa, but with the diaspora to the north and south as well. Black people here actually have a fast track to a Pan American model should they actually pursue it. As it stands though, Latinos are more well equipped. But our Blackness can unite much more than language can unite Latinos.

But none of this begins without first changing the mind of the individual. Listening to Malcolm speeches and reading genuinely good and substantive books is a great start on that path.
