When did y’all realize we can’t save all our people?

[CW_1991]

No the fukk it's not I'm not even talking about 'saving' anyone but you can't build a community of "me and mine". We see this everytime Republicans shoot down a social program

You're cherry picking, I covered that. Functional households and families are the foundation for any strong community.

"I'm not really concerned for nobody but me & mine" goes beyond functional household & family.

High school.



Ignorant dudes on my football team fighting weekly over which part of the plantation they grew up on. When the racist football coach decided to discipline ALL OF US no matter if we were involved or not, I called a meeting and said let’s quit. They can’t win without us. These goofies rather do that torture (rolling 100 yards in kerosine) than take a stand.



I was a D1 level blue chip talent going into my senior year. I was featured in a National Coca Cola sponsored scouting magazine. That was it for my football career. Benched my senior year.



Took a stand for my people and no one had my back. Do you know how much that hurt? I was depressed for 2 years.

It is what it is. Those are my feelings regarding the current state of things out here.

In my own lane and concerned with the well-being of my immediate family.

Also when the majority of Black people demanded that their children be marched into white schools to be psychologically, physically, and ideologically destroyed rather than protect them by keeping them in Black schools.

^

This is when the downfall started.
They scared the black American community into conforming. Numbers would have been larger and would have more going on in the community if left alone. Would have also realized how much these people do to destroy black families earlier (Abortion clinics, etc). Would not trust these people today because of it.

But reality is you had black folks that wanted to lay with white folks so they were pushing this stuff on the community.

The sports shyt hurts the when you see the stranglehold it has on us. If these owners thought black folks would stop watching and playing football/basketball en masse they would be obedient than a mf

If player lockouts cared about more than being able to smoke weed they would run shyt

I stopped watching football and basketball because of the treatment of the players and their responses

When you see the scope of everything it don't feel right seeing nikkas sweating and running up and down a field every Sunday

Looked at my own circle 7-8 years ago and realized that some people thrive in and/or create their own dysfunction and I came close to being a part or was a part of that dysfunction myself many times.

Realized even before that, if someone isn't able to see beyond their own immediate future; today or this week; they'll never go anywhere and those are the people you have to look out for and keep away from you, because they will bring you down with them and say it was your fault.

Any conversation about religion and homophobia

You can't save everyone

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

When black folks had the world at it's knees in 2020 and went back in the house once basketball came back on

When those basketball players had the NBA owners terrified of them walking out and Obama talked them into playing

We were closer than I've ever seen to making HUGE changes

Not to mention during this time BLM racked up 100mil and we see how that's turned out

America was a powder keg. Cities were literally burning. Obama was telling folks what he had to tell them to keep the country from totally falling apart, which is his responsibility as a former president.

If you want to be mad at somebody, be mad at the grifters who took all that money and spent it on themselves when they could have spent it bettering our community.

When we "reclaimed" a racial slur and began glorifying killing each other for the entertainment of the entire world.
