black community

:patrice: For example, I have a reasonably bright future. I'm in college, getting a business degree, and have plans to get either an MBA or an MS in marketing after. However, I'm also a commuter student & still live in my old neighborhood. Seeing crazy shyt happening worldwide, and even stuff...

In light of everything going in the world regarding black society i'm going broach this subject to the best of my abilities because i feel like this doesn't get discussed enough and that black people, especially black men currently lack the proactivity needed for survival. So with out further...

Hear me out brehs..... I don't mean just saying "Here, $30,000 for every black person in America guys, yay!" That makes no sense. But I mean in the sense of having a foundation that has specific goals of aiding black-owned institutions/black communities around the country/world. Quick story...

The solution to problems like unsolved homicides, especially in communities of color, cannot be reinvestment in institutions that wage violence against them. Responses to failure often take the form of reinvestment in what is failing. When Wall Street fails, the banks receive support in the...

:patrice: We see the daily "black men ain't ish" rally on Twitter, and how it's a circlejerk of scorned BW shytting on black men. I was reading the thread about the Nigerian chick who completely fabricated an Angela Davis quote about heterosexual black men, and I got to thinking. How come...

Earlier I went over why it's pointless to worry about "mouthpiece" and focus on the real fundamental question of getting or not getting sex. To go further, philosophically, we should consider gossip and it's effects on the black psyche and culture. It encourages frivolous and pointless...

Mental Health in the African American Community What do y'all think about this article :jbhmm: what she says is true and this is a huge problem in the black community especially with covering up shyt done to black girls. My mom cut off two whole sections of our family for covering up shyt...

I'm really interested in hearing the opinions of the ardent black gun control advocates on here. I would like to hear some TANGIBLE ways from you all in which you believe gun control, particularly in the way of banning weapons or accessories, can actually or could potentially make our community...

I specifically chose this number because the black man (Chinedu Echeruo) who sold his subway app to Apple got $1 billion, which after capital gains tax (20%) would be 800. Obviously, we don't know how much the lawyers got paid as well as the other arrears. But, that aside, since we're all...

Asking for a friend and survey :mjgrin: Also, I have spoken to people who said they lost it at a certain age. At my first temp job they bragged about it.

Not only was there never a 'black community' but a black community can't exist. How? It can't. This is a racist capitalistic economic system where we have no resources and depend on our oppressor for EVERYTHING! That combined with drug abuse, single parent homes, HIV rates, violence, toxic...

Brother dropping knowledge. We need to boycott these motherfukkas.

This thread I made last night was thrown into the bushes, but it raised some important questions.. as to why black women contour their noses to make them appear thinner/more European like...

Disclaimer: Let me just say I have been raised by both my biological parents so before anyone says "OP's just gunning for stepfathers cause his father wasn't there". For decades Black women have gone on tv and talked about how black men need to step up and that black men aren't raising their...

Well, let me tell you how this came about. A Clinton campaigner came to my house. I told her I wasn't voting for Clinton (Black lady) :leon: This went a different way, she told me she supported Bernard also and understood how I felt. She respected my decision too. Plus, she told me about...

Why is this perceived as cool, something positive, etc in the black community? Why are anorexic full tatted males perceived as 'sexy' to women?

You know, I'm a 22 year old Black man. I come on here and have serious dialogue with people. How I am on here which is serious is how I am in my day to day life :francis: Anyway, how long will the crime on oppressed and innocent Black lives continue:francis: Don't bring up the deflection...

We don't have leaders like Malcolm, MLK, (Before Sellout) Jesse Jackson, Medgar Evers, and etc. What we have now are groups with no leaders and disorganization:snoop: Like I said before, what we need is organization within our community and to infiltrate into local and state government...

When I saw that post yesterday I was taken away :wow: Now, this poster and I are cool. However, I came to ask you all is there a such thing as a Black community? Asians and etc have their own community. Why can't we have out own :patrice: Is the Black Community an illusion that's just not...

Korryn Gaines, the woman who was killed in her home after a 6 hour stand off with the police was in fact mentally ill. I have friends and family who are mentally ill and she showed many signs. Paranoia, Delusions, agitation, unjustified fear, etc. During that traffic stop that cop was being...
