Black people need to stop tryna team up with latinos/asians/non whites

Yeah, it does separate us, but if you really look at it, it's the poor people who switch up on you. I seen both sides, and when you do good for yourself, the same people who were cool with you when you weren't doing that great, start acting funny when your life gets better. They act like because you have money, you aren't black anymore. The same for latins. As a whole Latins are in poverty when you look at their income on a personal level. The reason why their median income for family is good is because they have so many people living in one house, so naturally their income is going to be higher then blacks, but when you look at it from another view, they aren't doing that good, and this is why they fight poor blacks for resources.
The thing that fukks up the " proud to be black" mentality, is that too many people associate being black with struggle, sadness, complaining, and being strong, even when you don't have to be, i.e. the angry black man or the fussy black woman. None of us associate blackness with happiness, enjoyment, love, positive sexuality, beauty, real spirituality, and money making, so you will always have people not claiming black until the view of being black changes. This is why it's important to show images of blacks fighting the system instead of being victims to it, and needing the government to help them, as well as how we changed music, medical profession, and race relations when our history is being taught because it gives a different view of what is being "black". Then you wouldn't have to worry about people not claiming "black".

they hired a biracial president who happens to look and identify himself "racially" as black but hes not black
he wants people to come together as one...the exact opposite of this thread in a way
im all for diversity and individuality but at the same time it plagues my mind that we are never the employers,distributers,manufacturers,financiers
good! get your education but don't forget that you have responsibilities to help and advance people that look like you. It's in your interest to do this. Don't stress or over-extend yourself trying to help and be realistic with your objectives.

actually we are. you might want to take a look at the fortune 500 rich blacks. believe it or not they're not entertainers or athletes. For example the CEO of Amex is/was black. for a group that only makes up 10% we actually have a large amount of what you just listed. not as high as jews, but pretty high.

but that goes back to the point where we were sayin its such a large disconnect when it comes to those not fortunate and those who are
im not suprised but the average black guy isnt gonna be convinced weve reached equal opportunity
think about it BET is not even owned by blacks anymore
all of those CEOs are in avenues irrelevent to whats goin on in the blak communties
and even then the decisions they make are in the interest of whites or just overall profit
its prolly a black CEO for alot of companies but they for damn sure aint workin in the benefit of blacks.
I agree with you on this also, but the only way to do it is by living it, and let them ask you. When I was coming up, I noticed there were very few people willing to listen to the old man with dreadlocks who was losing his hair due to stress. I listened to him though, but learned the hard way, all the knowledge in the world won't wake people up. It's hard to admit, but most people don't care about shyt, unless it's making them feel good at the moment. I got tired of trying to get people to see the light, only to have them shyt on me when they got a little something. This came from all races. I'm never going down that road again. I learned you can only help people who truly want it, and that is not a lot of people.
You only get one life, so you have to ask yourself is it worth trying to change people who aren't willing to change or live your life, and change those who you meet on your journey by talking to them, and letting them see the living embodiment of what they want in life, which gives them the energy to live their dreams. To me all the prophets came already, so I don't need to try, and be one. All I can do is use the tools they allowed me to have, and do my thing. Yeah, some people aren't going to like me, but they have issues so why should I care. This is a mental war, so if I know that, then I know how to win it, and that is to get my mind right with confidence form history, and knowing humans in general are crazy who did good and bad things so I need to protect myself, and choose which side I want to be on, accomplishing things that money can't buy so I have proof that I am not the bullshyt people say I am, and learn how to use my money to gain power in my world because someone can try to hurt me all they want, but if I have money, I can stop that shyt quick fast because money is what EVERYONE wants. Plus, I can protect myself with the best tools to make someone think twice of seeing me as a victim.

what I learned in african american studies is that many blacks are in high positions but that they're not highlighted as blacks. For example, did you know we have 12 astronauts on the NASA roster? probably not. why? because you probably read the name and assume they're white, or the media never highlights the race like they do when it's a criminal. when it's a criminal they make sure to add "african american, 5'11, etc etc" but when it's a CEO etc, you just read a name, or his nationality (american), its funny because when it comes to good things, he or she is american, american innovator, american CEO, american business owner, but when its something bad....african american or black is used magically.
as for benefitting the black community, I agree. and that's because there's no sense of community once you reach those heights much like rich white folks aren't seeing it as 'helping the white community' when have you ever heard that term? rich people don't help poor people no matter the race. don't get me wrong a lot of rich black folks contribute to charities and organizations but they're never highlighted..again..media control. whats fukked up is, I think it should be highlighted as to encourage the youth, so they have role models.

i agree with every single thing you said
remember this too. the truth, when its spoken is some powerful shyt
i been in conversations wit nikkas/females where everybody felt it
like a energy or some shyt not even on some high shyt
thats why i say if you aware of this pass it on
you'll be suprised alot people feel the same way just didnt know how to say or put it
sometimes the truth in the back of your head but it take certain words and thoughts to trigger it

100 percent agree
imo the scariest thing is the decisions being made on what to put in the food
i mean america as a whole is fukked up
but those lil offbrand grocery stores that you see in black communities typically lower to middle income arent owned by health conscious blacks
and they wonder why the kids goin through all these crazy emotions
even the parents that cook at home every night are at risk takin some of that shyt home
