Why are niiggas so exploitable?

[Micky Mikey]

real talk we have the economic power to create a small nation. Were richer than almost all the countries in Africa combined. And yet our schools are failing. Our communities are war zones. There is a jack legged preacher on every corner sitting next to a row of vacant and boarded up houses. And of course our community wouldn't be what it is without your ever present Arab liquor stores.
Yet the inhabitants of these communities never fail to rock the latest fashions in designer clothing. They never fail to donate half their rent money to their pulpit pimp of a preacher who uses that money to pay off his mortgage and 2014 Cadillac XTS luxury sedan. They never fail to show up to a football and basketball game within a highschool that has a 60% dropout rate. They never fail to stand in front of Muhammad's and Sayyid's liquor at 730am waiting to pick up their scratch offs, black and mild's and pack of newports. They never fail to head to closest korean owned beauty supply store and spend half their bi-weekly pay check on hair that isn't theirs. They never fail to fill the line a the drive through of their favorite fast food death joints.
Bring this to the attention of the average Afro-American negro and your called a "sellout", uncle tom, co0n. This is the great hypocrisy of our time.

More talk. All that education yet no tangible use for it.

sigh, ok, I'm going to try in engage in debate with you even though you are a known troll; this is what I posted a minute ago and I think it is a successful building block to what we experience and it starts with the youth:

People think they know white hegemony, but trust me, talking to the youth everyday, they don't understand how the system works to oppress people; when we educate the youth to how structural constraints work and how to think critically about the situations and conditions, then we can progress towards where we need to be, but it starts with CRITICAL ANALYSIS AND IDENTIFICATION of specific trends of structural constraints that have historically subdued the black voice and oppressed rights; academics can work with each other through agency to provide the essential understandings of how oppression works and teach COALITION BUILDING TO THE YOUTH. Its alot more than this but this is initial to get ideas rolling

So what's your smart ass answer or thread derailment tactic for this?

Everything you said was spot on. But the bold is a silly meme. Most people aren't tithing. Especially poor people. Giving offerings, yes. BUt giving 10 percent of their income?

I was being a little sarcastic. But their is no denying that these so called preachers are pimping our people. They need the boot.

because 'nikkas' are ignorant to just how amazingly creative and culturally mercurial they are. they acquiesce to the exploitation because it's easier to love being a nikka than to stop being a nikka.

but i'm not a nikka tho. i'm a young black man. so call me a cac.

good luck, OP. sounds like an interesting thesis and i hope you do it justice.

richer than almost all the countries in africa combined? Exaggeration like a muthafukka... but I agree my brotha.

We have a GDP of 1.1 trillion with a population of 35 million people. Africa as whole has a total GDP that is slightly under 2.2 trillion with a population of 1 BILLION people. So I'm not too far off. We have more potential than we realize.

far off enough breh, over 2/3rds of those countries have no real economies and are largely in debt, with people surviving on less than 1 dollar per day. I understand the point and the comparison though. We have tons of potential and buying power ...too bad almost none of that power circulates locally

There is a lack of critical thinking in African American communities. The average person doesn't think critically of the opinions they hold and the issues they support. They blithely support whatever side of an issue jibes best with normal orthodoxy (i.e. history) without ever truly examining all aspects of said issue. ".

I think it has a lot to do with conditioning. From the beginning of slavery, blacks have been told that they are inferior to other races. Also, during slavery blacks were trained about inferiority within our race. For example, the lighter you are, you are in the house or closer to the house (house ******) and the darker you are, you are in the field or farther from the house (field ******). Remember, the house ****** received better treatment. This is conditioning that was done almost 400 years old and it still affects us today. For instance, the fact that a lot of blacks still believe that lighter is better or being mixed makes you more beautiful. Sorry for rambling those are just the tip of my thoughts.

You better off showing why darkskinned women are better.

One example of the uncritical reasoning most people partake in is the oft-mentioned claim that white way is the wrong way in all meritorious aspects purely because the white way isn't perfect. One might think that a people's systems are wrong on the basis they victimize others -- but a fixation on means can obscure ends and implications thereof. Although it is strictly true that the means don't justify the ends, one is stuck with the ends. I feel certain groups and peoples have been the most successful in the history of the world for a reason, and they must be doing something right. After all their privilege and power endures. Rather than dismiss them outright, why not look at them from intellectual standpoint and take lessons from them
