A couple things. First and foremost before I even start you can an incredibly reductionist and ignorant view on things that actually dangerous to be spreading on here.
1. Moving up north after slavery was outlawed on paper occurred over decades, if not over a damn century, in a series of migrations for multiple reasons. From economic opportunity to escaping racism. Despite what a narrow picture you’re trying to paint - it was much more complex. Black people even moved within the South itself to escape racism and for better opportunity. Are they “ho3 ass nikkas who ran”? What about black people who wanted to leave but couldn’t due to being locked up in sharecropping deals? Are they “scared ho3 ass nikkas” for thinking about it? What about black people who were targeted and had their homes burned, family members lynched, etc. and decided to leave to the areas where they were experiencing racial violence are they too “ho3 ass nikkas”?
2. You seem to forget that Jim Crow laws were meant for Southern states and effected the hardest when drafted into law. The fact that the discrimination was so overt and existed on damn near every level is why you’re able to reference it today. And it’s much more complicated than how you present it. And it wasn’t as picture perfect as you make it seem - there was more a lot more c00ning going on than just pure revolution and standing up to racism.
Many of the reasons why Jim Crow was allowed to get so bad was because c00ning ass black business owners in the South that CONSISTENTLY met with racist white folks (store owners, political leaders, etc.) and TOLD black people to just ACCEPT unfair treatment because helped keep THEIR pockets lined. Are they “ho3 ass nikkas” for trying to keep black people passive and live with their heads down getting spit on by CACS in the South?
In addition the black church South, including MLK, c00ned for Northern White Liberal support. They chose LIGHTSKIN “RESPECTABLE” Rosa Parks to represent the Montgomery Bus Boycott over Claudette Colvin the 15 year old DARKSKIN young black mother who actually was the first to stand up to those CACS. Are they “ho3 ass colorstruck scared nikkas” for not actually putting the real black face up to represent the movement because white people in the North might not have accepted seeing a young darkskin girl on TV?
In addition there was so much c00ning going on by the black churches that organizations of young black revolutionaries in the South like the SNCC were continuously fukked over and kept from actually going all in. The entire strategy of the black church was to APPEAL TO WHITE LIBERALS IN THE NORTH. Were they “ho3 ass nikkas” for trying to beg for help from white men in the North instead of handling the white men in the South?? Was their intentional strategy of “getting beat in public on national TV for white liberals on the north apart of fighting? The only reason they did that c00n shyt is because they didn’t want to muddy the waters too much nor did the church actually want to fight those CACS. Who went up and preached “non-violence” to hundreds of thousands of black people wanting to kill those CACS???
Hell, most of MLK’s most iconic moments came from him driving out there on one of the church busses, do some speeches for white people, and get arrested peacefully by police. All after poor black people and young revolutionary students put in all the work and popped shyt off, getting brutally beat by police for standing up to shyt. His ass was too busy shaking with white liberals in the north to garner liberal support instead of pulling black cops off innocent black children getting beat half to death.
His docile ass was in meetings with YOUNG BLACK REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS READY TO FIGHT lecturing them how they shouldn’t go for violence and should take their time and not go “too fast” or be “too drastic” - because the BLACK CHURCH would not support them. How they should be “forcibly docile” instead. When you actually look at the REAL HISTORY and not the fake ass white liberal media that paints MLK as some messiah you’ll see how the black church consistently fukked over the Civil Rights movement and kept it from its true potential - which is why the South is still so fukked up today.
3. Now imma skip some shyt like you did where it comes to blacks in the North living in squalor. Let’s go ahead and ignore the Heroin epidemic, crack epidemic, race riots, systemic racism and continued assaults on all fronts. Like you legit brushed over so much shyt that it would take me forever to point out why the situation in the Northern states exists and why some black people who have been gentrified and forced out of their communities by extreme factors have decided to move back to the South. Yeah let’s just ignore damn near 60+ years of history and chalk it up to some Nation of Islam dudes selling beanpoles on a street corner and former black soldiers selling Heroin to other black soldiers who were experimented on and given literal tranquilizers while serving to be used as cannon fodder. Yeah, let’s just go ahead and ignore all that shyt and call black people in the North docile. When there have been serious race riots where black people in the North flight and laid down their lives.
4. And present day black people in the South are still doing bad. Places like Mississippi are still racist hellholes where black people have been living like complete and utter shyt due to the racist white fukks that STILL run the ENTIRE STATE. What happened to all the fighting? Where’s all the black people standing up to that shyt?
Don’t get performative now, the South is still racist as fukk and I don’t see a lot of fighting going on today. Don’t point to segregated Atlanta that’s already been gentrified like a motherfukker where the only power black people have in that city is performative. Where racist ass CACS and other “POC” are the ones in multi-million dollar homes where the overwhelming majority of black people are living like shyt,
Don’t point to Texas where shyt is literally still segregated by race and black people have managed to carve out a few suburbs from all the land that’s out there. But you still have black men literally picking COTTON ON THE DAILY WHILE WHITE OVERSEERS WATCH OVER EM WITH RIFLES ON HORSEBACK for the Texas State Prison system. Are they “ho3 ass nikkas” for that too??
Hell even trying to explain this shyt without writing a fukking dissertation on how wrong you are and how much the shyt coming out of your mouth is disrespectful as fukk - I had to be reductionist in the process. If you aren’t immediately defensive and choose not even to read what I wrote just know that history is way more complex then you could ever imagine and calling a black person who left the South a coward and a “scared ass ho3” is wrong as liable to get you fukked up.
