The good life 😎
you subconsciously want to be a cac
Or he is being realistic and understanding the nature of how other races view us. Barring that, merely knowing racism is real should be enough. Not to attack you, but a lot of African progress has been hindered by sentiments like this, that is, wanting to be like a cac. Useful or necessary things or a better way of doing things dismissed as wanting to be like the white man. I've seen it in the village I was born in, to a place I was trying to set up a clinic in, to even in my own family. It's a maddening feeling and much in line with this thread I guess.

I wasn't even planning to post in this thread. :francis:

I'm not really concerned with saving anybody except me and mine.

That's supposed to be the mentality and then once that's secured and established then you come together with each other and build something more.

The problem is you have those amongst us that come from broken homes. So since they think being broken is normal, they anything that looks functional.. Then they come to destroy yours. A perfect example of crabs in a barrel can clearly been seen amongst black people.

No the fukk it's not :why: 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

I've seen people lose their own family trying to same someone else. Then........... When breh lost his family, the mfer(s) he tried to save still ended up not being shyt. That poster is 100% correct.

I think finding community and building with likeminded people is more effective than 'looking out for me and mine'

Im sure that was figurative speech. While im looking out for me and mine, I reach out and drag those who's willing to be drag. I REFUSE to wrestle with a rebellious kid that isn't mine. Let the single and childless people handle that burden. I know dudes out here putting their lives on the line working with troubled teen.. If a brother with a family loses his life trying to make a knuckle head act right, their is absolutely no honor in that. The problem we have is you have a select few trying to save the whole. That's not sustainable..

When most Black people always make some sort of excuses for the criminals and degenerates within our community. A lot of these gang members, robbers and killers do the shyt they do cuz they want too not because they have too. :yeshrug:

This is 2022, it’s so easy to be a productive member of society and earn shyt the legit way but most of our people would still rather terrorize our community to gain quicker access to materialistic shyt.
THANK.

YOU.
