[A Pimp Named Slickback]

"One more plate"


Soul Food overindulgence

Bad high fat high sodium diets

The "Real nikka" mentality (Ja Morant, Boosie, etc)

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Overworking through mental stress

nikkas standing on the corners doing nothing but smoking weed and hanging out shyt looks fukking bummy. 2023 and nikkas aint got no aspirations or nothing...

But you know what ive learned... is that you can't save everybody...

 

[BaggerofTea]

If your thread doesn't start with self hatred, then I know you aren't serious

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Thinking we don’t have to follow the rules, and claiming racism if we get a consequence for breaking the rules

 

[DonB90]

 

[The Fade]

Hyperconsumerism being a measure of worth

 

[BrothaZay]

- looking down on 9-5s

- pretending like the hood isn’t glorified

- be honest(it’s soooo many things we have to be honest about but aren’t )

- last but not least, thinking that black people are the ones keeping gucci and Louis Vuitton in business

 

[BrothaZay]

Another thing, black people need to start admitting when they’re wrong instead doubling down on it…

 

[Rollie Forbes]

As Black men, we have to do a better job of dealing with stress and protecting our mental health. Internalizing stress can kill you, brehs.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

not trusting one another

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Blaming everything on the white man. There are some things we can control and some things we can't control.

Killing each other, single mothers, highschool, and just looking out for each other in general, all that can be controlled

 

[African Peasant]

Rules and discipline is for white people, except when it concern gangs.

I have a savior complex im still breaking free from myself

These lyrics are why this is my most played song this year

"Sorry to my ancestors, I know im sposed to fight
But this ice shinin' brighter than a black man's plight, I'ma make it right
In the meantime, I'll give some advice while these blood diamonds gettin' cleaned off
nikka, fukk the price, spend it then, then again, I can't save nikkas
I'm not Superman, but I could try"

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Brothas who say "God isn't real" but say the Black man is God. Can't have your cake and eat it too


That "Black men over every other group of people, including Black women" mentality. Hoteps are misguided. Black women, asian people, Australian people, every human is a human. Other races of people have been enslaved throughout history

Deuteronomy is not an excuse to believe that Black men are the only chosen people. We are all chosen. Don't let the pain of our ancestors and our historical oppression steer you the wrong way
