You can not be "pro-black" if you do not have money

[.༼-◕_◕-༽.]

It is I just dint believe it that's all. I don't know who lying or not but the amount one here just like other stuff don't mTch up with most real life experiences

If I gave any specifics, then I'd out people in real life... Let's just say there's a few people making moves. We help each other, it is what it is.

Before mentioning what problack is or not is, focus on what are the goals of problackness...if you can't answer that, then how could you say what is or not?

Im not asking you to out people. I'm not asking you to prove yourself either I'm just saying people always saying that shyt when these types of threads come up that's all. No more no less that's why I said I don't know who lying just it don't match up with reality in most cases.

Exactly, it may mean different things to different people. For some, appreciation for heritage and culture is enough. For others, having the means to further your people and cement a place in the here and now. Do you want to celebrate history or be a part of defining it?

 

[REdefinition]

What are you really saying OP? Malcolm X wasn't ballin so he can't be "pro black"? Are you really going to question the pro blackness of historical figures like Nat turner or Harriert Tubman?

With bold it usually goes with your financial level from what I've saw when this stuff comes up. The people that don't have money kick the CinnaSlim pov and those with means kick the OPs pov just say it better.

And when I say money, I'm not talking about a few thousands stashed away, Im talking about at least 6 figures

Im talking about at least 6 figures

at least 6 figures

6 figures



This is the most elitist fukking bullshyt I've ever read.

negged.

Yea man. While folks t here talmbout "my brotha" and " my sista", I would prefer to be able to do something tangible. Spirituality and holism comes and goes, but without resources you are closer to the dust on the factory floor than you are the cog that actually makes the machine move. Everyone will have different ways to cope, different philosophies, but positivity and peace of mind does not make dents in the status quo. Best believe its easier for one man to promote propaganda through visuals and excess than it is for one thousand to tell tales and give well wishes. The man with money does that too, only when he takes off that velvet glove, he actually has the iron fist.

I think I know what you were trying to say:

Broke black people can't financially enable other black people.

You just said it in a real $hitty way.

Yeah you're right, I could have sounded more optimistic about.

So almost nobody has ever been pro Black is what you're saying?

So what does that make poor black people? Does that mean it's okay for them to become c00ns?

Imagine if someone said that poor white people are banned from having white privilege.

No you can still be a proactive and valuable asset to black people. You can be an average joe and be an activist, racially conscious, freedom fighter and just do all round nice gestures for those around you.

But to be pro-black is advancing the race breh. This means anything you're doing, it has to be done on a mass level. The end goal of pro-blackness should be liberating ourselves of white dependency. Right now, we're getting everything from food to housing to jobs to education from them. You need serious money to change that kind of situation breh. I am not minimising the efforts of people like @Amethyst (), I already said you can be racially conscious and change the lives of those around you.

Its sad because the blacks that do have that type of money are only interested in themselves and not tryna invest in other blacks

You can be pro-black in the sense of knowledge of self and appreciation for your people...you just wont be able to do shyt to advance them or yourself

Op your delivery sucks.

Yes and pretty much all our problems stem from our socio-economic position.

And @Merc how the fukk am I an elitist Do you think ive got 6 figures in my account. Im just stating facts breh.

Then what exactly are you trying to promote? That black people can't do shyt without economical power? We known that already. But how you spitting it sounds like you're tryna make nikkas feel bad about being broke and advance their race the best they can. That's some cac type deviant mind games that halts or slows down advancement.

Fair enough, I already said what I said may have come across a bit pessimistic. Its just the type of people labelling themselves pro black has me

Strippers out here calling themselves pro black smh. I think the term has become a little satirical the ways nikkas using it. Didn't mean to offend nikkas tho

Dumbest thread I've seen in a minute on here.

Basically but I think we all know that. All people gotta do is look at who gets talked about the most. Those with means and or popularity that usually doesn't involve law of attraction type stuff and not having means. It might happen more now with people with less means but you get what I'm saying. That's good to have loa stuff too but being realistic if you don't have any type of success people not going to listen to you but so much when you on the same level as them.

 

[How Sway?]

Nah, you can be pro black and broke

BUT your pro blackness will be useless

Bold is all your insecurity coming out and I don't even agree with how dude said it. All that elitist talk you kicking is you feeling some type of way about what he said cause maybe you currently fit that demo instead of just taking the main point out of it. People gotta stop with that you didn't say it soft shyt. Even when you say things softly people don't listen its like cats want any excuse to dismiss something.
