hows that even relevant? circumstances are completely different now that was 150 years ago

I'm just sayin: a few nutjobs won't tip the scale. They say the civil war was mostly about economics - actually most wars are. Therefore they not gonna just hand over Georgia to Black people.

I can't even get Black people to talk about what it would take to get on our feet as a whole.

That's true on here, but what really hit me: I had a shouting match with my boy IRL yesterday. He was yelling "it's not possible" again and again.

We LOOOOVE talking about our ancestors being royalty and g-ds. Who ruled over who. Who built what ancient monument.

Nothing about what we can do today and tomorrow. Seems like most don't even consider it an option to feed ourselves and build our own schools.

We have no power so of course we have no voice.

What "they" do and are gonna do isn't half as important as what we are gonna do.

This is the exact video I was looking for:

What is self sufficient?

Is it providing all goods and services including public utilities, transportation, telecommunications, food, clothing, toiletries, etc.

oh boy not this thread again:snoop: how about just seek education and skills, use them to bring in an income, save and invest, build solid families, past down wealth to our kids and look out and get involved in our local communities by investing in them, volunteering etc like other successful groups. we seem to make shyt harder than it have to be.

Is America self sufficient?

I say "yes".

Does America produce every single thing she uses?

No.

The thing that makes America self sufficient is we have enough of the stuff we do make to trade for the stuff we need.

In general Black people need to make enough of *something* to be necessary to others who will trade our *something* for the things we need that we don't produce.

My example was the entertainment industry that we are a large part of. We should actually own the companies and produce the product in our communities.

Before we take that step we should figure out our food situation cause that would be an easy way for "them" to shut us down once we start taking billions out of "their" pockets.

Does that mean we manufacture every piece of paper and pen that we use?

No.

That means we have enough product that people want that we can trade for paper and ink.

I been watching this Hotep stuff online for a few hours now.

They are really getting off on Beethoven having African roots and Lincoln's mom being mixed and every shred of info they can find about historical Black excellence.

This is good info. I like to know some of the details.

Black people in 900 AD could navigate from Africa to America before Columbus, but in 2017 some of us haven't been outside of a 10 mile radius in our hometown. And we have cars and trains and busses.

Doesn't all that historical Black excellence kind of make us sound worse in contrast?

I just keep thinking "and now what?" when they say Hannibal did this or that.

these people were anti-government and socialist. A black capitalistic group would survive just fine.
Marcus Garvey and UNIA were not anti-government and were capitalist. In fact they were trying to take people out of the US, not change the system. Hoover and British Intelligence still worked (certain Blacks helped too of course) to do them in.

Anything Black people build, Black people must be able to protect. Black people built Black Wallstreet, Black people could protect it and it fell in the matter of hours. All the years of hard work, planning, education, saving money, etc, gone in a day because they could not protect it.

How do your protect your home from a fukking airplane dropping bombs?
