Some powerful stuff, Banner knows what he is talking about and I agree 100%.
No white person. my people, should ever use that word. There's a billion other words to use, that word has too much tied to it. We have no reason ever to use that word.

Exactly,when people think in hindsight about how bad the idea of integration was
....They don't take into account the difference in mentality and circumstances back then and now.There was already a unity they had fighting the same struggle,where it didn't need to be explained....It was just understood we would have black business owners who would stay within the black community,and live within the black community....It was understood black folks would remain united and support each other....Its not really fair to pretend any one apart of that movement could've seen THIS coming,or that THEY dropped the ball.....And lets not pretend the government didn't do plenty of sabatoging along the way either.
How could they have known it was the struggle that united us and not love like they convinced themselves it was.....we only fukked with each other cuz we had to is what its starting to look like
.Without that constant fear and struggle right in your face like they had it back then,Its all about mindset now...You have to deliberately fight everything around you that's trying to seperate you from caring about your people,everything telling you that racism is dead since you've never been called ****** to your face,or don't hear about hangings everyday like they did....a lot of us getting lost by being complacent thinking its all good,or its good enough.
Maybe the unity back then wasn't some beautiful thing done out of love but only necessity too,but whats it gon take for black folks to see the necessity today
?props to Banner though,i always catch his interviews and his music from time to time,Death Of A Popstar he did with 9th Wonder should've made more noise

Unfortunately, I'm really starting to believe this too, not completely.How could they have known it was the struggle that united us and not love like they convinced themselves it was.....we only fukked with each other cuz we had to is what its starting to look like

the modern day rapper is a walking billboard head to toe, not even smart enough to brand their own stuff (tyga is the exception with his last kings line) but for the most part it's Moschino, Feragamo, Gucci, Armani, Fendi, Tom Ford, Prada, Chanel, Cartier, Louis V, Versace, Ralph (It ain't Ralph tho lol)

Did Tom Ford sales shoot up after the song by Jay? Personally, i had never heard of him before that song. Crazy how he couldve easily had made a song about a young, black up and coming (or established) fashion designer

Yo, I always tell ppl to think about the progress lost due to crack. The entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors, scientists,.....just all that. No telling what could have became of ALL the black lives lost just from that epidemic alone. If there was no crack I could only imagine our evolution. I truly think that black ppl might be on another level now.......
