He’s saying America was never intended for you. Why fight a constant uphill battle whereas you could go to Africa where they’ll literally roll out the red carpet if you want to live, travel or invest there

Work smarter not harder :manny:

:comeon: Be realistic man.

I actually don’t really agree with him about leaving part because that’s a personal choice. But the part about Western countries in this case USA don’t care about black people goes without saying.

If I were him I would have said rather not to put your eggs all in one basket. Many people have never stepped in Africa and speak from a reality they have never known. Those who have, hVe a different perspective on things. Those who are smart will look at the continent as an opportunity.

There are Lebabese, Indians, whites, Chinese living in africa and living the high life who hate Blacks but love the continent and don’t want to leave but AA will throw the baby with the bathwater due to pettiness sound foolish. The continent has made a lot of foreigners wealthy, if AA only look to America and don’t take advantage of the opportunities presented to them, they will live to regret it.


Why aren’t you in Africa now then?

I think Akon worded it wrong. I do think it’s worthwhile for every black person to visit Africa or a place where we are the majority and occupy the major industries. It does something positive to your psyche to see people who look like you occupy any and all positions in society.
yuup every black person should

The major point; what is harping on it going to do? MLK said essentially the same thing. Yes, slavery was/is horrid. Remember the past, but never live your life by it. Blame whomever is responsible, let it be known, but also build a better future. Asking for reparations every year, has clearly done nothing, and it never will, too big of a can of worms. When you're the victim, you find complacency in being constantly felt sorry for, I say fukk that, the white man could give a fukk about us, lets build, be great and sprout forth a generation that keeps making them look bad through our successes.

Post the quote MLK said bytch ass cac.
Neg:camby:


"Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood."

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you're trolling or don't read much. Using the tired "cac" card, move on fella, you're just looking like a rerun of 2013 in the coli.
