Why are cacs so obsessed with politics

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

I mean anyone should be obsessed with politics...it's a key tenet of power

 

[Music Fiend]

Mental health and politics have the ability to change your life.

I think white folks get the gift of feeling like they can change things and we typically don't. Self-fulfilling cuz then we don't tend to care like they do.

I think OP is speaking in reference to the ones who become political nutcases/weirdos. The ones that become so ingrained with politics they start becoming/sounding like conspiracy nuts.

There's a difference in having interest and gaining knowledge in politics compared to becoming a weirdo peddling conspiracies.

 

[KamikazePilot]

Focus on local politics instead of media politics

 

[Eternal Tecate]

How can you not be?

Nothing wrong with being obsessed with politics. They’re the people who literally shape our lives so why wouldn’t you be interested in what they’re up to?

Thats the reason why white people continue to have a leg up on us.

get involved. Maybe all politicians are liars, but at least educate yourself on what it is they’re pretending to care about.

Its not to get involved for the sake of being “woke” but, but elections can change things and make things better ( or worse if the wrong people get involved). Politics affect too many people day to day not to care about whats being discussed (I mean mostly at a local level).

White people know this, its why they pass such crazy voting laws in a state like Georgia to restrict your rights and limit what you can do. The establishment (mostly old white folks,) is terrified at the thought of young, educated minorities ruining their plans.

White privilege is playing with a full deck of cards, don’t give yourself an disadvantage. Not just in politics but in life. The knowledge is free.

Have you not seen how obsessed thecoli is with politics

Most of the people trading fists and bullets over this shyt are white, it’s nowhere close.

 

[Seoul Gleou]

they aren't. politics has been gamified in america though. cacs are either team red or team blue and will die for their team rather than look at options or cost-benefits

 

[WaveWhisperer]

Unfortunately, many black men are focused on bullshyt instead of money, power, and resources. White people often and easily dupe black people into giving up our power, money, and resources for trinkets.

these are the facts.

 

[Cowboyz89]

Because politics is about power.
Power is the single most important thing on the planet.

In reality every single person should be heavily invested in it.
I should never come here and see a thread bout who the celebrity of the week is dating.

[Tom Foolery]

Nationalism hidden as political right.

I know nothing about politics. But the president doesn’t have any power cuz the bills and laws etc have to get passed through both houses and senate?

never understood why people hate presidents like trump Obama bush or whatever. They don’t have very much power..

^^ correct me if I’m wrong brehs

trump filled like 200+ federal bench seats with right-wing judges but according to you the president doesn't have any power.
