How am I advocating for not wanting to try when I'm literally talking about organizations that exist right now that need members and have been putting in work.

Look, I understand how people feel and I'm not trying to say "it's pointless" I'm saying the opposite. I'm saying it's pie in the sky to try and hoard economic power without funneling that power through the existing infrastructure that has been proven to work to help people. Don't lump me in with people who don't want to try. I'm actively sharing my resources with these organizations. Creating more organizations and movements literally harms unity by diluting the power. These groups do and should talk to one another and share information and power. What they need is young people bringing more energy into those movements.

Spending money on black businesses who will seek tax cuts from Republicans anyway isn't the move. The economy is in control of bosses when it needs to be in control of workers. That happens when people unionize, provide mutual aid, and have safety nets for those of us who will engage in direct action by shooting back or blowing up concentration camps, server farms, or counterprotesting nazis that are emboldened to parade through the streets to intimidate whatever black people live in the neighborhood.

This can be a useful hashtag to get people activated, but they need to take that energy to organizations who are currently putting in work.
Thank you for your negativity. It always helpful to hear BP tell other BP to stop trying and to shut up. I hear you.

you negative nancies :mjlol: 80% of the posts in here "nah this aint the right way to do this"

we lose NOTHING if it doesn't help anybody, stop finger wagging shyt cause it aint perfect. why not join up and then ADD on the in-person effect you'd prefer it to be?

Why not supplement instead of detracting? :jbhmm: cause it can damn sure be both


Exactly

- You think the Vietnamese and Koreans who are pooling their money to start up hair/nail salons and beauty stores had everything perfect and fleshed out before they started those businesses?
- You think the Arabs who are pooling their money to start gas stations had everything perfect and fleshed out before they started those businesses?
- You think Italians, Greeks, and other Mediterranean people who pool their money to start restaurants and food trucks had everything perfect and fleshed out before they started those businesses?


It's sad there there are so many scary Black people who are absolutely COMFORTABLE being 2nd class citizens

it's not about being negative bro. it's about having a foundation that doesn't lead to disappointment and frustration in a year. So if u supporting her why you not supporting Ice Cube and Master P then? They been trying to do this for years. Theres a whole convention where various black people have been organized. Essence Fest, Invest Fest etc that actually have capital and resources.

Yall love to call it negative just cause people are skeptical. Setting up little air balloon rides and stabbing at people that try to poke holes in the top. I hope it does work and nobody in the company gets bored or frustrated, or quits in about mid 2026 once the hype of Trump has died down. But you got people's money and investment in something that imo had better last cause that's something you don't fukk with unless you really serious.
