From what I see this is a childish back and forth where men make an anti bW thread then they make an anti BM thread in retaliation and vice versa. If everyone used some common fukking sense and stopped Falling for obvious bait threads and troll posters that shyt wouldn't happen. It's that simple and the reason I'm never in those hilariously obvious troll threads.

Those "anti-BW" threads are usually done by trolls or people trying to get a plat thread. But some people here only post just to argue with everyone and be hostile. :yeshrug:

@marcuz you need to stop entertaining the nonsense.

Whats with this whole you must be an activist to talk about race issues shyt that is so pervasive now? It's a messageboard for crying out loud. If we required people to show and prove everything we post about here, this site would lose 95% of it's members.
Its only because if you look into the way some posters talk, they are constantly disappointed in the inaction of black folks, then start calling people c00ns and toms because they are comfortable.

I tried to get an answer out of a poster in the thread about killing white folks like they did emmitt till.

"Why dont you kill white folks?" Instead of answering, it was a lot of slick dissing and nobody answered.

Maybe he has a family to look after. Maybe he isnt built to do that. I said you cant ask decent people to behave like the devils that accost them. I wanted to get to my point " if that is why you dont turn up on white folks, why isnt that a good enough reason for the victims?"

When it comes to race, there is hardly any depth, but a lot of posturing, so if these people wanna motivate so bad, lead by example. Cryptic ass "what do you do for the black community" while never alluding to what they do is tired. If everybody is doing something, why is it so hard to come out and say it?

Well there you go, and to prevent that post in the root away from the majority of trolls and shyt heads bored with their life. Neg And ignore anybody going along with the game. While we're on the subject the ignore button is the most underrated feature on here.

Excuses ready...these bw bashers are just trolls. Ignore them but the black female posters are ruining the coli and destroying black men.

Welp!! You say slick ish expect pushback. Simple as that.

I don't advocate for killing innocent people, but I do advocate for people to defend themselves. And if you do want some kind of revenge,then go for the person/group that wronged you, not innocent people. I haven't read thread you're talking about, but it sounds like there was alot of fukkery involved. And we know how much TLR loves the fukkery :yeshrug:That's what it's here for.

But I do agree with you on how c00n/and tom is thrown around excessively. And that is part of the reason for why the Root fell off for a bit. And I do agree with you that people should live what they preach and be able to show and prove what they do.

But you can't hold that standard for one aspect of this site and not for the rest of it. People on this board pretend to be authorities on relationships, business, money, wealth, sex and a host of other subjects. And yet no one has asked anyone to prove that they know what they're talking about:manny:

I'm all for setting a standard, but if were gonna set one, let's make sure we set it across the board:ehh:



The breh @bdizzle is just one of a number of good posters who post in the Root. There are alot of great threads in the Root that go unnoticed because they don't have a high level of fukkery to em which is why most people avoid em. Not to mention, some require to have a certain amount of historic understanding outside the usual Pound cake speech/Black people need to do better rhetoric and most people don't have that frame of reference.

A lot of salty coli anti-militants here. :heh:

It started off cool but eventually devolved, mostly due to the mods and it trickled down from there. rn it's just slightly bearable. TR looked like HL with blackness when it started.

"Why dont you kill white folks?" Instead of answering, it was a lot of slick dissing and nobody answered.
Stop playing dumb, OP was stating a shock hypothetical because of Sandra Bland. You know what these people meant.

Most of the threads have depth and conversation and just don't have any fukkery involved so you ignore them, the ones that don't are dumped from TLR.

If everybody is doing something, why is it so hard to come out and say it?
cause it's the internet and anyone can say anything. 6 certs? this is a place of discussion and consensus, nothing more.

Here you go quoting only me again:rudy: The poster who started that thread has a history of shock-threads and i asked a valid question. If even hypothetically you cant put boots in asses of white folks, what makes the reality seem any different? If a man is asking why a man didnt kill someone, see it from his perspective and stay out of your feelings.

We got people who get hopping fukking mad when a black person forgives a white who wronged them (at least publicly) . The shyt jumped the shark when instead of focusing on those who fight, we get mad at those who just want to live. For the second part of your post, ill cover it under this response too.

But you can't hold that standard for one aspect of this site and not for the rest of it. People on this board pretend to be authorities on relationships, business, money, wealth, sex and a host of other subjects.

This is one part I disagree about. Maybe at the end of the day, the coli social justice warriors are playing a position on this website for fukkery sake. Maybe, maybe not. However, there is a WORLD of difference between asking how someone knows that treating girls like shyt gets better results, and constantly complaining about peoples inaction on race matters. If i lie to a guy and say sticking a thumb up a chicks ass during doggy is an ancient mating ritual, its far less damaging than calling another man all sorta of names because he wont donate to a cause. Speaking of, umar johnson. Some people hold on to this man in spite of the fact that hes been around enough years that you would think we would concretely know his background and at he would have shyt to show for it. Question umar? Get called a crab in the barrel brotha...even though people are still wondering where the fundraising money he has collected before has went.

The bottom line is you cant compare everyday human interest stuff with activism. Seein action inspires people. Wagging your finger at someone for not doing anything but not leading by example causes resentment. Its he whole reason the anti-militant thing started. People went in on white supremacy and what black people ahould be doing, people asked what they were doing, got called c00ns and were given no receipts, and now people wanna hide their hands like they didnt throw stones. We know people are bullshytting about how much money or girls they have, but we arent as interested in that as we are in knowing who has actionable plans in place. Maybe i can get behind what someone else has in place, but if i inquire and he calls me c00n, why am i now in the wrong? Show proof or stop soap boxing.

So if you don't go in there why are you in a thread about it?
I just said why. Did i need to explicitly say "anymore" at the end of that? When i came back in june I was kinda hyped for it. Unfortunately, it was more of the same. That ladysimone thread caused me to abandon that subforum cause it was clearly digging at black males and it showed no signs of stopping. I came in to defend it because its better than going back to the bickering that i saw in late 2014-early 2015.

No problem with the root myself. I don't understand why people are so mad at its existence. Apparently c00ns and cacs don't like to be challenged so that's why they show up in threads like this to shyt on the "militants"

I mean, one of the biggest "anti militant" dudes is a half breed from Europe with a white mom, yet I see the usual c00n suspects dapping him up..

So don't post in it or about it. How hard is that for you to understand.

I often notice you speaking out of both sides of your mouth, so your opinion is pretty much null

My man, im not posting in there:what:Im in the locker room. The only way i have any posts in the root is if a thread was moved there. If you would go back and read, i answered a question.

"Whats the difference between the root and the race track"

I said doesnt it have moderation. Thats my understanding, unless that changed. So i have to ask, what point are you trying to make here?
