BLINDLY Supporting Ones' Own Race

[AntiVenom]

Then look for like minded black people and build with them because any racial unity is a pipe dream at this point.

We dont have enough people who want racial unity so we only got ourselves.

We gotta start small and it will grow. Thats how most big things started out. Look ahead.

This i agree with. I advocate both black factionalism and individuality. Work with like minded blacks or do your own thing as an individual. I'm fine with both of these and find them to actually realistic. But you see now that working with like minded people is very far from "blind loyalty".

Any kind of movement or infrastructure building will start small. It'll only grow over time with success. And once it succeeds you'll have more and more people that want to join you.

It wont be because of "unity" though. It'll be because of something tangible. Black people would be able to get more bang for their buck with and there would be a FUNCTIONING alternative. It wont happen if though if those who arent the most passionate never make the sacrifices though....because no one else is going to.

Not true.. I went out to lunch with my Indian co-workers. They wanted to try a new Indian restaurant. The food was cold( it was a buffet ) and they didn't like the place. Last time we went there. They didn't keep going back just because they were Indian also.. Garbage is garbage..lol

True. But there are black people that genuinely think that a black customer is OBLIGATED to give a black business their money even they dont like the product. Not very realistic and very much at odds with reality.

But hey, hotep.

I was making a carte blanche argument vis-a-vis supporting black people generally, but I concede and agree with you that anti-black people whom mean ill to black people should not be supported merely because they are black. At first I assumed this was obvious but it occurs to me that perhaps this is not so.

I, for example, do not support @nobammerweed. If this were a Game of Thrones world and I had an army, we would at his gates tommorow to tear out the c00ns who root there. Let nikkas say what they want

LOL when i made this thread i was speaking in general terms. Cats coming in here thinking im talking about supporting child rapists and shyt

Black customers is a good thing but employing black people is just as important.

So if you cant get black customers then just focus on employing your own since we benefit either way.

Arab corner stores in the hood is an example of that.

Anyone who thinks black people shouldn't "blindly support blacks" by prioritizing the hiring of blacks is a moron. It's like saying Americans shouldn't "blindly support Americans" by fighting a war for Americans.

This is just a random anecdote from you, it means nothing. I am from a country where Indians form a significant portion of the population. They are racialist and collectivist as per the norm. They will blindly support Indians over most all people except perhaps whites.

Of course they will support their own over others. Never denied that. Just saying they won't keep supporting a product just because the owner is Indian. For the rest of your post, I never experienced that and they have been very open about their culture with me.

Well that illustrates the problem of blind loyalty. We are fighting a war for americans. The issue is that its at the expense of the public and for the benefit of a few at the top. But theyre able to get away with what they do because of blindly loyalty and nationalism. Again, I cant advocate that even on a smaller scale like what you guys are talking about. I feel that critical thought in where we put our support is a much better alternative than just blindly doing shyt.

The word blindly sounds stupid. We also should prefer to support our own and If we don't like something about the product we should give feedback about it. It's up to the owners from there.

If you're doing anything "blindly", you're doing it wrong.

You don't get it: America has to fight wars for Americans because Americans are what comprise America.

The truth. Short and sweet. Couldnt have said it better myself.

I'd also go a step further and say that anyone thats asking for blind loyalty needs the light shed on them 10x more.

Critical thought needs to be applied...not abandoned. I'll never advocate black people becoming automatons. fukk that.

Your previous example seems to imply otherwise. Generally Indians do support products when the owner is Indian. I have seen it myself.

America is fighting its wars for the benefit of its corporate interest and military industrial complex. Not for "americans". America and its politicians dont give a fukk about the citizens.

Dont fall for the okie doke.

By and large, America has to prioritize Americans because that's why America fights. That's the point. I'm not going into your conspiracy theories.

My bad if you took it that way. But no I agree they will support their own first..
