the coli: where a black dude going to prison because he stole a million dollars with sim cards is celebrated but a bunch of black people doing a harmless symbolic gesture about legally going to med school is met with neck-poppin. :pachaha:

The fact that CNN put it in the news should tell you something. CNN ain't gonna put real shyt on their channel.

They'll put this though on some between the lines shyt. This is why you have folks in here caping for Kaepernick.


This isnt about them being doctors or successful in school. Its about them jumping into some shyt and not realizing how real and serious this shyt is. Personal advancement doesn't translate to collective advancement.. they lack the wisdom to see how this could easily used for harm. "If those guys could make up to med school, racism is dead". Those talking points.

It's damn near 2020, we can't accept any inspiring stories about black people without confirming if they're ADOS. Ledet and Labst sound Haitian :leostare:




Even if they are ADOS, it's not gonna close the racial wealth gap so :camby:
French surnames???

In Louisiana???

Surely they can’t be ADOS

tagging you two because you had an interesting convo about plantations in the thread about Plantation Weddings.

Wanted to know your thoughts about this story.
depends on their intention behind it, but i for one, have at least a few moments each year where i look at where i am and think of where my roots are from and both feel for their plight but am thankful for their fight. personally, everything aint for social media, people try too hard to create look at me moments, so i while they did that, i hope there were real moments of thought and reflection on that trip, not just a trip to the site for a flick.

:deadmanny::dead::dead:.....I can't anymore, so much negativity, people are literally getting a rush out of finding ways to demean their own. :mjcry:There's a way to celebrate the accomplishment while not condoning the clout aspect of it, which I don't think was their intent. I think it has more to do with awareness and upliftment while putting public attention on how they rose against adversity. How many times do we actually see positive black imagery or depictions in the media?? But when we do people find a way to make it a negative situation to focus on- instead of the symbolism.
