Why is nepotism frowned upon in the Black community?

[CodeBlaMeVi]

Right. Black people push back against the narratives that have been weaponized against us: namely, this idea that we are in an inferior condition because of a lack of work ethic. The argument against nepotism is that whites were able to accumulate wealth for centuries when blacks were legally forbidden to do so on a wide scale. Therefore many of these 'hard working whites' were given assets that were accrued during periods of explicit white privilege, and suffocating anti-black bias. Their leg up is literally at the expense of black people. Thats the anti-neoptism argument.

Let me sum it up for you. It's called white affirmative action. Thee end.

Y'all know damn well when you chillin with the homies you're never talking about fukking nepotism and how the black congregation apparently voted against it
Nothing but anecdotal bullshyt that yall use to shyt on our people man
"Oh, but we don't act like a community, we don't put each other on"... Getting tired of you special snowflakes... we fukking get it, the coli is filled with a whole bunch of special nikkas cut from a different cloth than the rest of us

The concept of blacks talking about financial empowerment seems so unrealistic to you because you probably hand with a bunch of dusty niccas.

I agree.

All of the black people out there condemning (white)privilege and saying its evil are mad we dont have any.

How can you when you dont build up wealth for the next generation and hand them down something tangible like a business positon? You cant pass down a fukking job to your kids...

5 star thread. Bullshyt backwards mentality.

Preach and don't let a young black dude try to build a business on his own around slave job minded older black people. They'll go above and beyond trying to sabotage and discourage him.

Nah breh, blacks are definitely anti-nepotism. You look at whites and many other races, they either build businesses and let all friends/family in, or get on at places and once again, use their pull to get their people in. Blacks tend to get theirs, are simply happy they got their foot in the door and the feeling they somehow get a seat at the table, and this is after whites let them in Then when other blacks get on, they tend to get competitive with each other as if they gotta have "that" spot It even starts in the household, whites will let their children stay with em even through college till they get on their feet. Hell, even with today's economy, you see whites living like asians and others would with whole families living in the household to help with costs and shyt....and guess what? They all eat together.

Blacks? You hit 18? Get the fukk out and go beg the white man for a job, you don't get handed shyt out here, you gotta earn yours like I did This is also why you have so many black young adults turning to illegal means and getting caught up in shyt, cuz there ain't shyt out there for em and they're out there lost. No type of family support system. Blacks act like that is some sort of weakness somehow, and that we should somehow all be prideful and fight for scraps at the table, when in fact that type of nepotism and support is how whites and such get their positions of power

Yup...agree 100%

...were the only race that believe in equality. Everybody else play a team game and we just beg to get in what they built and get mad when we don't get in

U have to build your own shyt or build it with a group of like minded ppl....that's the new economy

These east Indians bought a Tim Horton's by my house and guess who they hired? All east Indians.... nikkas will buy a Tim Horton's and try to make it diverse because their on the mlk ideology. Or they'll start a business and hire non blacks because they feel guilty that they're being 'reverse racist' and the non black person will soak up the game and take it back to his own community

Look at hip hop, white rappers r making all the bread...

A lot of Black's have been indoctrinated, that's why u have to realize, not all black ppl r black....they're WS in blackface

What's theirs is theirs, what's ours, we gotta share until it's theirs too

I agree. I get on, my friends and family will too.

This has been my perspective. Its only right.

man oh man I wish there was a statistic for how cacs are abusing nepotism in these corporations - I am seeing it with my own eyes and it pisses me off......even the internships are not immune

 

[Unknown Poster]

Is it? I never even discussed nepotism with a Black person before. Matter fact I never discussed nepotism with anyone.

I learned about nepotism from growing up in an affluent white suburb and going to predominantly white schools from grade 1-college.

It saddens me how much information is witheld from us that could readily advance our collective status. But now with the internet there is no excuse...this information.is all readily available.

Eventually you just see so much of it in the workplace that it just makes you say "fukk it...imma do my own thing".

Its everywhere....

Well stated.

 

[Sithlord Piff]

Yep south asains are guilty of pulling shyt like that.

Out in LA Mexicans are notorious for it.

 

[Skrilla]

I agree. There's a lot wrong, as a collective we definitely frown upon the wrong shyt.

I knew a dude, a couple yrs older than me (i'm 22, he was like 24), who got laid off and was applying to diff places, one of those places he applied to this arab owned gas station, and seemed down when he got turned down, i told him straight up dude they only hire other arabs, just like in a lot of other places they try their best to only hire ppl of their own race/ethnicity, some will hire blacks of course but only if they feel like it...when u own your own business u can control who u want to put on and who u want to keep out, and these places prefer to keep the money in family or in the same race at least. Everyone else has been doing this for years but it's like black ppl still have not understood the concept. To us, it seems wrong of course because it is excluding a lot of us from certain jobs, or at the very least makes it much more difficult, but they are doing what WE should be doing. They work together, extract wealth via businesses, keep the money in house, and continue to build with each other. They aren't trying to put u on, they MIGHT, but it's definitely not their priority, their priority is to take your money and anyone else's they can, by selling you goods, and employ their own people so that they can make money as well, and continue on from generation to generation. They will pass down their business to their kids or other relatives

If we had our own businesses, we could employ other black ppl, basically hire who we want the same way whites, asians etc do to us. But we don't have them, and tbh when i have talked to other american black ppl about entrepreneurship (in settings where it was appropriate) they tend to either be passive if not dismissive, so expect for things to stay the same unless there is some massive, collective change of heart . Some ppl on here will probably say "no one can afford it", but if enough black ppl put their money together, and start small, it could be done. We don't work together, there's an individualistic, "every man for himself" mentality. So what i'm saying will sound outlandish even though it's not. Black ppl are huge consumers, we have like what 1.1 trillion in spending power, plenty of us will go cop the new Jordan's and everything else every month, imagine if a bunch of us planned and put our money together to start businesses, i know firsthand that it's not easy to start a business but a big problem is a lot of people dont even bother to try. Its one thing to try and to fail, because at least u tried (and hopefully wont give up), but to collectively not even try at all is worse IMO. If enough ppl actually put their money together instead of splurging it on dumb shyt, it would be a start. The problem is if u talk to other black men about saving and putting your money together, most aren't willing to do it. Not all, because one of my business partners is a black man, but a huge percent. Jason Black didn't lie about this. I've seen dudes complain about working shytty wages for "the man", but if u bring up the idea of putting their money up to start their own business they quickly shy away from it, these are the same dudes who find money to club every weekend, to cop the new releases monthly, to pop bottles and smoke regularly, etc but will complain about their position in society and being disenfranchised. Other races do not give a fukk, as long as u have to rely on them for employment u will always be last priority, if you're even considered. More black ppl will have to start wanting to be bosses and trying to start our own shyt, if not then this is going to stay the same.
