Are clueless.

Tell us, how has this 'individualism' mentality overall benefited the race...?

You nikkas will run in every thread about the black community and say, "nuh uh, not me, not all black men etc" because you're too clueless to understand that thinking & operating individually instead of more collectively does nothing to help your race at all. Other groups operate more collectively than we do especially when it comes to business/economics (where it counts)

You will find more instances of them working together, extracting wealth from other groups, excluding other groups as much as possible, putting each other on, and passing down wealth to the next generation

Yet we're on that "every black man for himself" shyt...and don't try to claim it's just the "bums/thugs" either...it's not just Tyrone who has this mentality, it's also Timothy making 6 figures, who has the same individualistic mindset

Example for nikkas who still don't get it: If you're an amazing player on a basketball team, you never miss a shot ever, MVP every game, but your team (the collective) is consistently losing games, how much is you being a good player actually worth in the grand scheme of things? :ohhh:


Brothers think too small man.

You can't fix a problem if you don't even diagnose the problem in the 1st place. When you point out anything wrong in the black community, nikkas start catching feelings and getting emotional, negging, etc

I'm a black man in his 20s with a shoe store in my hometown, but black male entrepreneurs are definitely outliers so that is why i am saying "we". I'm speaking collectively. And t's insane that you have so many black men on here and other spaces who actively discourage other black men from entrepreneurship. Wtf? We need more black male entrepreneurs, that's not even debatable, no not every black man should be an entrepreneur, but to downplay it when there is such a lack of us, or try to talk nikkas out of doing it is stupid

Everybody has an "individualistic" mentality.

And if you're that good at all ball you should take a more indivicual approach and win. I mean you never miss a shot. Shoot. 50 times that's a guaranteed 100-150 ppg. No way you gonna lose.

I agree.

Other groups move as a community and it has helped them greatly especially after integration.

Most of ours instead of being first class members of our group would rather embrace individualism and end up supporting whatever group that will take them in as a second class member.

What does it mean to "operate collectively"?

I think he means building together.

I agree with him about the "every black man for himself" mentality. Very true. Although, i do think that we've been conditioned to think that way and it will be hard to change it at this point.

The 'individualistic' every man for himself way of thinking is exactly what the dominant society want us to do. They don't want us to have any sense of community, collaboration or togetherness. They even promote blacks isolating themselves from each other all the time in order to keep us collectively weak. It's easier to control us,stunt our progress and ruin us because we have no support from each other. No other group operates with such an individualism mindset as we do...NONE. Whether it's Whites, Asians, Hispanics, etc. The strongest/smartest in the community will work along side the weakest/feeble-minded for the progression of their community and families

The black community is shyt. Who wants to live around shytty neighbors. You wrong for calling the cops on em, You wrong for moving away from them. Lowlife blacks have too much freedom to be lowlife scum. Who wants to deal with that?

@YoungCzar

I agree with some points you made breh but you failed to mention some factors. You may not get a good response due to the actual delivery of your post also.

We are at a point where black men tend to compete with (or for lack of a better word) challenge other black men more than other races of men. Which is of course problematic. We see absolutely nothing wrong with Akbar or Juntao coming into our neighborhoods and extracting wealth, and not even hiring us, etc but will have problems with another black man over the most childish petty shyt.

As you stated, I also see black men on here and other spaces discourage ownership with deflection, denial, etc. "Not all black men", "Let's talk about something else", "You see what so-and-so said on Twitter"etc

We don't build together the way we should. Especially not the way others do. I don't even think that is questionable or up for debate, but on here dudes will argue against it of course.

Prior to integration, and the civil rights movements, black men owned stores in our communities, and multiple other businesses, every HBCU was built prior to the civil rights movement. We actually have even more opportunities now then they did then yet are building less.

I don't think it's that black men don't want to do it, i think it's that we overall are more comfortable with not being bosses. Not because we don't want to actually be in that position, but because of all the time, work and sacrifice, not to mention risk, that it takes.

These other groups do have a tighter knit community. We have no economic base

What material mechanism is there to make 40+ million people act in unison?

For the record I agree with promoting community economics and more people trying a hand at entrepreneurship... but these are not solutions for the masses of Afrikans, because the masses are working-class and whether your boss is a cac or they have melanin and curly hair too, Afrikan workers would still be exploited and fighting to maintain their standards of living and rights... because capitalism is structured in that way

So I think it is a detestable thing when narratives are promoted and encouraged that tell Afrikans to uncritically line up behind the Afrikan ruling class when the former would bear the brunt of the fight of race nationalism while sharing extremely unequally in whatever (few) fruits it would yield
