No "we" dont. You don't seem to understand the scope of it eitheryes, we're terrible and unappreciative, we should be like other races... spare me the narrative, bruh
ol' "woe is me" ass nikkas
we clearly know what our problems are... at this point, either get to work to rectify it or shut the fukk up.
You don't think it's a little odd that only two black people in 50 years have become famous in something other than entertainment. Two!! My nikka
i'm a 4th year electrical engineering major don't even try this with me breh
100% same.black people love to shyt on each other.
just like any black person trying to make it in fashion get's shytted on when they try create their own designer clothing brands. that's why i don't talk shyt about kanye, or virgil, or any other black man trying to make it in fashion or other creative fields dominated by white people.
And its the same result...everytime. other races are the ones tha appreciate the talent and support them while black folks are the ones skeptical about them and criticizing them.
I'll tell you something as a black creative. With my latest collection...damn near all of my customers have been white. I actually went out of my way to get hispanic customers. I just wanted it to be more...universal so to speak.
I have never had a black customer buy any of my stuff. It boggles my mind. We would be operating the shop underneath the main store we rented it from and i would see tons of black folks spending their hard earned money at yet another white owned and operated establisbment just to rock those labels...but when i told them about my store...they would be like...
okay. And not come through.This actually brings me back to the tariq boots thingy...now its one thjng if you dont like em...but to not even give it a chance? Doing business on a day to day level i really got some insights on what its like to be a black business person and a black creative. Too many of us really do believe the white guy or the non black guy's ice is colder...just cause.
We often complain about why there arent many black owned this or that...but then when those come...we dont support them...and then they go out of business and we are back to square one.

Tbh many of us only see athletics and music as our only real option. It doesn't help that many of us who are successful like Oprah and Cosby shyt on us.
This must of made you feel some way. This is one of the problems we have as a people. We take criticism personally as if its an attack on us.yes, we're terrible and unappreciative, we should be like other races... spare me the narrative, bruh

be stupid, brehs.
on the contrary, you don't understand how redundant and useless it is to keep spewing defeatist rhetoric around...
people actually think they're actually saying something enlightening by subtly saying we ain't shyt?
so delusional... we have the media who do a wonderful job of that everyday. it serves no benefit to the so-called "community." a lot of you coli psuedo-scholars are really good at exposing how dysfunctional we are as a community, constantly degrading us as a people yet aren't solution-oriented or uplifting at all. just giving each other pats on the back for exposing what's all too obvious to begin with... white supremacy exists and we are struggling to maneuver within it. do you want a cookie?
many blacks already understand the machinations of white supremacy... especially on here.
you're just deflecting, bro... calling out the stupidity of your post has little bearing on my position in life, which if i was insecure enough to let you know, would also render that argument null and void.

If you took it that way...thats all on you breh, thats not the angle i was going for.
I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement.

This doesnt have anything to do with anything and you just wanted to stroke your fragile ego.
You already said it. If you do or say anything that isn't "what black people do" you're not "black".
Slavery kept us in chains in more ways than one.
But genius and innovation doesn't need the crowd.

you're the one who implied your dumb ass post somehow cut me deep as if your simple-minded generalizations of black people was somehow applicable to me. miss me with all that, breh. just cuz someone calls you out doesn't mean out its out of defensiveness... thats the nature of debate, differing opinions. we ain't in the 6th grade fukkboi 
anyway, lemme get out of this thread so you can continue shytting on black folks and change the world... what a cornball.

Your being counter productive. Both these post have valid arguments. Attack the arguments, not the poster.
And I'll say this. The majority of our people, and people of all races are concerned with just keeping their heads above water, the average.
Extraordinary people are rare, and alot of extraordinary people are struggling in mediocre living conditions. We don't have the backing to flourish. We cannot create if we are preoccupied with survival.
