Exactly. We need that Khalid Muhammad energy because That whole black empowerment\Black excellence\Black Girl Magic talk is nothing more than Social media prop up talk because alot of these black folks dont practice it. Thats also disheartening

Yes, exactly. It can be easy to get caught up in a lot of performative bullshyt when, by actions, it's clear most of the world doesn't actually give a fukk about us. In the past we at least recognized to some degree, as a community, who was in opposition to us. Segregation itself forced us to rely on each other more. Black men on black woman. black woman on black man. brother to brother & sister to sister.

We're about to have a generation of men raised to be "soft" on these issues...saying they're "not into politics" and silly shyt like that. Lacking history. And then inevitably wondering what the fukk is going on around them.

It's going to get even worse when this Baby Boomer wealth transfer happens and suddenly all these black kids who think the world is fair...that their in it together with their white friends and all that...look around and suddenly find those friends pole vaulting past them economically. Not to mention what will happen if this far right shift continues to happen.

I don't want it to, but at the same time, we really might need that wake up call as a community.

To tell you the truth, if you need to legally enforce Segregation for black people to even cooperate and tolerate one another, that is a whole another beast that we need to address: no law should/shouldn't tell us when to truly love one another. If a law has to tell me to be forced to associate with another black person, then that self-hate must be deep(er) than white supremacy itself. Yeah, as in, you can hate CACs and white supremacy, while you distrust other blacks and refuse to support black owned businesses at the same time. That is regressive as fukk.

I think we try to be blind to this fact but we’re inherently no different than our African brothers and sisters. We’re very tribal and our different tribes don’t really fukk with each other. We had the harsh conditions of slavery and Jim Crow that unified us but absent of those conditions we are a very fractured group. Similar to America becoming unified under the threat posed around 9/11 when otherwise America is anything but.

And our tribes have such widely differing morals, beliefs, aspirations, and values for us to ever willingly come together.

It’s a reality that folks are not ready to acknowledge.

Kinda why I sympathize with what’s going on in Nigeria.

Im sorry….but young black boys my son age have been offing themselves due to being isolated as “the only” and dealing with being bullied


There’s an old African American saying called “we raise our daughters and love our sons.”

There’s something to be said where our sons are overly coddled while we raise our girls to be militantly prepared.
That because we know females/women

Will have a easier time in life then a man

Especially a blk man

Mass social anxiety is caused by capitalism. I put feminism as one the creatures of capitalism. Feminism and capitalism both leading to the explosion of the black family structure.

I also blame the decline of black religiosity. The Black church gave a spiritual sense and a community to belong to. You weren't alone.

A lot of black men are walking alone now. That's why I said a long time ago that thecoli should be more welcoming of "black incels".

Black men, put your faith in God and stay strong. This decade will be rough.

Alot of you fakkits told me that if you suicidal you just selfish and or weak though ?

Alot of you better double back and delete shyt before pretending you give a fukk.
You can argue the selfish part. If no one is dependent on you, then it’s not necessarily an act of selfishness. But if you are swallowing a gun barrel or tying your own noose at the smallest signs of adversity it’s absolutely weak. People get coddled and the first time the world smacks em in the face with reality they seek to end things? Young folks are weaker now than ever before. Imagine if folks in the 40s/50s/60s etc that faced real adversity from birth and still had the heart and pride to fight for their rights had modern day self esteem. Trump wouldn’t have needed a rallying cry for the bigots because shyt would have never changed

I believe this thread should pivot towards things we can do today to move us into better head spaces. One suggestion is that we stop calling each other nikkas.

:francis:

It won't happen. :francis:

that has zero to do with the increase in deaths. Black women have among the lowest if not the lowest suicides rates and utter it all the time.

Women ALWAYS have a lower suicide rate. It"s constant among ethnicities and countries. So that's not an argument.
