This is what I mean by "always late to the party". Where have you been the last 7-8 years my dude?
I posted one short article I could find for your convenience and keeping it succinct, but I can post more.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...resident-how-*****-celebrated-trumps-victory/ (Subscriber only, but this is what I was originally referencing in the first place).
I could take it a step further and post articles about the January 6th attack that was literally a result of QAnon, a fukking conspiracy theory that started on "the Chan" but I shouldn't even have to do that because you should be aware of this shyt, breh.
Grown ass man talking about "building" but can't even put a fukking sentence together. I don't even know what you're trying to argue with that Hilary Clinton point right there because your shyt is so incoherent.
The fact that you think politics are for "teenagers and women" only further proves my point.
Your ass is willfully ignorant to what's going on around you and want to try and make it some twisted form of masculinity, when in all actuality if you're going to be leading anything (whether it be a community, a family and/or a business) you should be at least somewhat aware of decisions that are being made, which can in turn affect you.
How the fukk are you a business owner but don't keep up with politics? I'd hate to work for your ass, because I can tell you do shyt half-assed nikka business just off the strength of that alone.
Trump's dumb ass decisions during COVID fukked my industry over (Hospitality) during the pandemic and we're just now recovering from it. Grown men about their business are watching what the politicians are doing, even if they don't believe politics are the end all, be all.
If your experience was that some black kids were c00ning in the 90s, cool, that's your experience and I won't argue that.
But, again, you can't be talking about how black men need to "step up and lead" but lack a willingness to actually engage with black youth and study their influences. You were the one talking in another thread about how we need to "take the community back from gang bangers/drug dealers" but don't even take the time to study who/what these young nikkas are being influenced by.
Other races of men understand the power and influence of media. They also instill a sense of pride in their youth. You got young black teenagers out here sounding like straight up white supremacists and your rebuttal is "they're kids they don't know no better".
No one denied that white supremacists have attacked black people in the past, but we going to sit here and act like the internet hasn't radicalized some of these young CACs to actually go out and take action? Read their manifestos and they themselves will tell you that, but you wanna sit here and act like the internet don't influence shyt.
My overall point is that the internet is becoming the new media and it's influencing the youth. If you don't know who any of these personalities are, that's perfectly fine. But to try and act like these individuals aren't known in real life or don't have any influence over anyone or anything is foolish.
Your ilk run into threads like these to brag about having your heads in the sand and then expect people to take you seriously when you talk about being leaders. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be led by or build with someone who is in a perpetual state of having their head up their ass.
These personalities have influence in the real world. Many of the black YouTube personalities do (ie ADOS/FBA potentially being added to the census and other important documents/forms) and many of the more mainstream YouTube personalities do as well.
I listen to some of these personalities (on all ends of the spectrum) because I can listen to their arguments/debates, analyze the points being made, study the counterarguments and use them to educate those around me when they say some stupid shyt about our community.
We see now how dangerous it can be for black people when certain narratives about us aren't countered.
