I have a friend who i'm afraid to believe he's on the gateway to becoming a c00n.
We are both from Brooklyn and happen to be in the same military unit. I'm FBA and he's WI. I grew up with a somewhat functional family which provided a comfortable childhood for me and his childhood was the opposite. He watches alot of Jordan petersen,rollo tomossi, anime and also watches " feminist getting owned videos. I also notice that he too trusting of whites in the military simply because they have a "friendly" facade. Low key he likes validation from white father figures leader types. He never really said anything c00nish but I feel likes he's on the gateway. Is there anything I can do to change this?

You said that you had a comfortable childhood and his was opposite. :jbhmm: It sounds like he got a lot of disappointment from black folks and haven't learned how to deal with with. :manny: Maybe you can introduce him to black leaders in your unit. It sounds like if anyting your friend is emotionally vunerable. Yes, youtube vids and false validations can take people interesting (not good) places.

I mentioned my comfortable background compared to his to provide context.

From my experience c00ns tend to come from two scenarios:

1. From the hood or impoverished areas. Since everyone in those areas are black they associate the poverty of trauma with blackness and success with whiteness. So they work hard to escape blackness and glorify whiteness.

2. Grew up in mostly white areas where they were the only black person around so they struggled to accept blackness.

I challenge some of his views and bring up Dr. Amos Wilson and Farrakhan as sources of inspiration.

I understand the context of the comparisons. I also agree with the two examples. I'll add a third and say there are unwritten rules to blackness that causes people to be c00ns. For example, there are kids who use to get made fun of because they were smart, "act white", or wasn't about hood sh_t. Part of c00ning is the influence who white is better. I think the other part is black people rebelling from the notice what it is to be black.
