As a black person, you've just demonstrated that you don't own a passport...but keep shouting for these people out here.

You're clearly not qualified to contribute to this convo on the notion that you CLEARLY dont have enough perspective about how the rest of the world works.

I have a passport and I have traveled to other countries. So you're wrong about that. Not qualified? :mjlol: And who the fukk are you besides some pretentious Stockholm Syndrome having fool?

True...the number one thing that gets to me is I WANT this country to be better. I believe in what the people before us wanted for our generation...it saddens me that we're constantly fighting against those who don't want things to change.

I have many great memories here, but the thing that gets to me is what type of environment do I want my kids to live in? And that's where I stand still next to myself.

The Malcolm Xs, MLKs, WEB Dubois, Marcus Garveys, etc...they wanted better for us...are we there? Are we willing to work to better that, or are we just complacent?

That's the reason I don't care about the older generation...they gave up on us. I care about the youth cause they still have a passion for this country and for change that they abandoned or didn't have....that's what tears me up about these conversations. These kids don't know. I rather care about them and reach out to them nowadays.
I WANT the country to be better too...but saying dumb shyt that we ALL know about doesn't change anything.

This country CAN bend in our favor, but "giving up" and bytching about it doesn't help.

What makes you so sure that African Americans are in a position to "bend America". Ca you really envisage a future where white supremacy is not a factor?

She looks young and uninformed:
Hi, I am Zara Chiron - the Naija Gypsy


Zest for Life.
Purposeful and Driven.

Passion for Art, Culture, Languages and the Collective African Experience.

Lived on 3 continents and in 4 countries.
Speak English, French, Spanish, Pidgin and (dreadfully broken) Igbo.

My vision is to help rebuild a Pan Africa through artistic expression
Of our own history, our own stories, our own realities, and in our own voices.

I envision, I dare, I write, I create, I connect.

just like a woman to try to build a nation with intangible assets. the fukk is artistic expression going to rebuild, :stopitslime: this is why women need not be in the drivers seat.

White supremacy is new in the grand scheme of world history so yes.

Your criticisms are rooted in shyt that doesn't take into account that THERE ARE MORE BLACK PEOPLE IN THE USA (second to brazil) THAN ANY OTHER NATION OUTSIDE OF AFRICA. :stopitslime:

Tell me where else THAT many black people live as well as we do today?

I'll wait.

And dont bring up some bullshyt about innercity poverty cause I certainly wont give a fukk to entertain that trollish bullshyt.

Referring to a grand scheme of history overlooks the question. America itself is younger than white supremacy. Are you really confident in asserting that it will outlive it? Especially now that whiteness as a premium has become globalised?
