Dikk Gregory powerful message : Entertainers and athletes won't save you

[Gimini00]

Entertainers are similar to jesters in royal court, they entertain the people and made them laugh, but when it comes to serious matters, the king and the kingdom rely on the nobles who were the intellectuals at that time and the knights who were professional warriors ready to die for their Kingdom. None of them would ask or take the advice of a jester seriously. But in the black community, we take entertainers and athletes too seriously while all of them are paid by white supremacist to entertain them.

So true

 

[RandomDudeOnColi]

I agree.

 

[Gimini00]

The only way we can progress as a community is if we make a intellectual revolution by promoting education and smartness, doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, we need to treat these people with more admiration than rappers and athletes. Cause otherwise, i don't see how we can stop to be dependent from white supremacy. One black doctor is worth more than any of these rappers combined. I read a article where in China a teacher is 10x more respected than a billionnaire, teachers are very well regarded in this country, that's the kind of mentality we need to develop and teach our children.

He right

You can't do that without your own media

It's up to these so called black intellectuals to lead the way and create a medium

People laugh at Sa Neter and call him all them nikkaz hoteps, but he actually created a platform any black person can get on and speak directly to people

so these hotep nikkaz cando why can't these so called black intellectuals

plus we have to stop using labels and terms for things

Also real leadership needs to be in the community, not in the media or any platform

black people got a bad habit of telling their business to the whole world, always putting on a goddamn spectacle on social meida

Any race can go on twitter, youtube, or forums like this, and catch the pulse of what black people think and do


that's the huge problem, conversations like ths should only take place in community

white people don't even know how the arabs get liqour store and gas stations everywhere they go

you know why, because they don't let outsiders know what the think and do broadcast their problems and business in front of the world

as a whole black people are lost in this country, I suggest you worry about yourself, it all starts with leading by example

dikk is too old for the fuk shyt

 

[KillerB88]

Can't have this conversation without people jumping in talking about how hip hop has "broken down" racial barriers and whatnot.

Half the battle is getting the conversation past that talking point.

Entertainers are, by definition, meant to distract you from reality. Entertainment is distraction (duh), so expecting the same people who are paid to distract, to actually guide you is quite moronic.

The best that they can do is raise awareness (about some shyt most of you already know) and make a few donations here and there. Don't expect them to revolutionize anything.

It doesn't necessarily mean that they're evil or that there's something sinister about it. It's just the nature of the game

It's not true, Entertainer are business people

Entertainment is a business, people keep talking about court jesters who were professional clowns

was mozart looked at like a clown, what about homer that was a poet

just because people choose to be clowns don't mean they have to be

An entertainer is sitting in the white house right now, we need to check into his family history and see if he's related to king john like the rest, but if not, it means that anyone can be president as long as you are popular enough, which is a good and bad thing.

What you do for a living has nothing to do with your ability to impact the world


why are entertainers only looked at as clowns or something benefit dignity when they are black?

You fall the white supremacist shyt every time

blacks make a lot of money through entertainment and athletics, that is power, power that should be used to build our community if we had true leadership

Every NBA team has the ability to not only enrich their families but rebuild every ghetto in the cities they play in, if they ONLY CHOSE TO INVEST THERE

We need all black people on the same page in all walks of life if weren't true freedom and dignity

stop allowing white people to tell you how to feel about yourself

 

[Action Mike]

But but ja rule

Cacs ain't hearing this, as long as they control mass media they'll bring whoever the fukk they want to mic to speak for you

Those athletes and rappers should take knee and stfu, if asked point cacs to who they can talk to
