21,000 Black Men have been shot dead in the past two years in America

[Somebody]

I tell young buls to follow God and not girls. BLM make them feel like for all the talent, ingenuity, and appeal young black men have, we not suppose to struggle or fight against the enemy.

So instead we direct that towards ourselves, meaning other black men. Especially toward respectable ones. Because a truly respectable black man is not respected by these pervasive savages, which is confusing for young men.

I coached a basketball team. I came late to practice one day. Seen them playing some disorganized ball. Brehs. I laid into them. I was more angry then they’d ever seen me.

One of the pretty boys dead started crying. They 13 years old, so I’m not clowning them. But in his sadness, he started acting like he don’t need to listen to me. I wanted to kick him out of practice, but there’s always a woman he can run to and vilify me.


You really can’t do that to the men in any other community. Run to a woman cus a man laid into a child out of love. Even at that age, young men know women would look at them as weak for runnin to mommy over not being coddled.


But women is another issue. Black men are the most talented, but many of us somehow believe that because we extra talented, we shouldn’t struggle.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Honestly this is the greatest tragedy for us.

We talk alot about injustice but the closest I have ever came to serious physical harm is at the hands of my own people.

I have most often been on alert for my own people. Times when my antenna was up and my head was on swivel. About a 10 to 1 ratio between thinking Black citizens might be about to come at me vs. cops or other racists.

We seem to just accept this cold war between all Black people. The possibility of it being on. The willingness to fight back, or even strike first.

There's a hostility baked in to our interactions. Especially between strangers. The whole "what you doing over here? Where you from?" that precedes the stereotypical gang violence in movies and on TV.

Neely Fuller Jr. says this

Only have constructive interactions with other black people. That is if you aren’t doing something with a definite outcome avoid others.

It’s true… Our interactions with each other generally involve negativity.

Not at first but keep talking around someone and a disagreement can easily lead to a fight. The Coli is a good example of that everyday. But a neg isn’t a bullet obviously.

and another 10,000 probably this year

Durk starts out his verse by saying "I hate nikkas"



Brothers get on here saying this shyt is just entertainment, can't even lift weights without being fueled by lyrics of Black men getting shot up or plotted on.

[Verse 1: Lil Durk]
I hate nikkas be on they homie ass and they ain't even gon' slide
I had a prep talk with a baby threat and I told him keep his iron (Bop, bop)
I had court today, told my lawyer, "fukk that case," I'm tired (Tired)
They locked bro up for three guns even though lil' bro had said, "They mine" (Free Wop)
I need Boona home, only nikka I know that speak his mind
I told bro, "I need to get back," he say, "Get back come with time"
I ain't duckin' shyt, I done seen thе main opp keep cryin’
Had to switch the whip, shown my Hellcat logo, I went livе (Get outta here)
I don't be trustin’ shyt
I don't even trust my bytch, I just trust my switch (Brrah)
I don't even trust my auntie, uncle, cousins, I don't be trustin’ shyt
Stand up nikka, he ever get a bond, he ain't gon' never sit (Never)
This gang shyt run deep in my blood, I ain't gon' never switch

Lil Durk is a demon, look at his eyes. Nothing but death surrounds him and it doesn’t seem to phase him. He’s not even a good rapper and his label gave him 40m’s to keep perpetuating this sh*t. It’s a drop in the bucket for all of the black lives lost and the industry it creates for the prison industrial complex.

 

[B86]

Education, always been the solution people just like to talk and play dumb and cause confusion

For the 35 years I’ve been alive it has never been “cool” to us to go to school, pay attention, and learn. nikkas will not sit down and learn to save their lives; literally. The education is there and obtainable if people want it

 

[King]

Sad.

What is the solution?

I’m not seeing one that’s very clear.

The system has failed us and intentionally killed us. We are held in captivity, complacent and complicit just enough to not take that ultimate risk. No different than enslaved people on a plantation.

Eventually we will be pushed to the brink, but by that time it might be too late for us.

 

[GMoney]

Plat thread incoming

Expect some of the same old discussions to resurface.

I'm not a Liberal so that criticism fails.

The Klan didn't have access to 3-D Printers and Amazon Prime at the height of it's power, so that criticism also fails.

More guns DEFINITELY won't fix the problem.

Nah, we failed ourselves.

Drop Squad type shyt

 

[Micky Mikey]

The leading cause of death of Black males between the ages of 1-44 is homicide and the most popular form of music often centers around the death of Black men, celebrating and promoting those deaths.

This. No matter how much we can attribute it to structural and socioeconomic factors (which are ALL legit) the facts stand we have a culture that promotes our own self destruction.

Sometimes I feel like we have become too corrupted as a people to ever liberate ourselves.

But it's just entertainment .

Says the same people who talk about baby making music, playlist for work out , when they are feeling depressed or down and out.

Damn this song really helped me when my girl left


there are literally sites liek yourbrainonporn which shows the detrimental aspects of porn on the human mind. But if you dare speak about rap you have kewns coming in and defending it like thier life depended on it
