@NotAHotep you're done

Stop acting like 18th Century 'Crackers' from Northern England/Wales.

See Thomas Sowell.​

 

[Macallik86]

Closed-mindedness and using materialism as a way to counter poor self-worth

Wisdom, education and knowledge is not a "cac" thing. It's a human thing

It should be cool to have a diverse vocabulary and think critically

Writing a bunch of bullshyt on a Internet forum with no solutions
Not putting in any work in the community
But got everything to say about the community behind a fukking screen
No social awareness at all
The high and mighty complex when you’ve never been humbled
Can pontificate on life so easily on these devices
Then a light is shined on how you not even living a real life outside
I could go on and on
THE COLI DOT COM

The black community is way bigger than the Coli. Expressing yourself in a positive way on the internet is never a negative thing

There are Black men and women who are catalysts for change on here, including myself. No need to sneak diss anyone online

Societal issues are more important. The lack of social skills young black men and women have because of technology and social media

The "hood is cool" mentality these young kids have because of what they see on social media. I just came from PG County. So many kids and young adults have this mentality

It has to change

The phenomenon of a large portion of sisters wearing hair hats.
I never saw the economic sense of bros having a massive sneaker collections that is not earning any interest or dividends, increase net worth instead of exploring safe investments so ones money can make money. Compound over time.

To be fair, this is one of those threads set up to allow undercover cacs to speak with finger tips.


I dont take anything said by anyone on this forum seriously unless it pairs up with my own reality.

The holier than thou attitude and mentality

Going to church, reading the Malcolm X Autobiography, believing in 5 Percenter ideology, voting, paying taxes, making 6 figures, having "motion", being in the streets, NONE of this makes any black person better than another one

We are all black

Colorism


Lightskinned. Brownskinned. Darkskinned. To the police, we are all black

We are all a threat to white supremacy no matter how much that same system tries to divide us

Calling ourselves and each other "n1ggas".

That single word is a REFLECTION of the self-hatred that exists within us. The first word that comes to mind of a black person when they get angry with another black person is "n1gga", sounding no different than a racist cac.

Personally, I can't fully embrace a black person who uses that word.

I feel a deeper kinship with my fellow brothers & sisters who don't use that word or who gained the consciousness and pride to throw the word in the garbage.

Alcoholism. We can't joke and drink our pain and sorrow away.

Therapy is important. The "im not crazy I don't need therapy" mentality is toxic. And it's a small example of the larger ill of our community. We don't have to grind through trauma anymore. This is a generational evolution, a byproduct of the centuries of oppression. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't change for the better

"Boss" mentality is holding back men back in business IMO

“Weed isn’t addictive”

I know cats who passed up on CAREER positions because they wouldn’t be allowed to smoke. Talking bout jobs that would have you straight for life with a pension

Facts. I personally have tried to say "brothas" and even negros like my oldheads do

The N word is forever polluted. We can't wash vomit with a dry paper towel. nikka is a mispronounciation of the hard R version. Slaves said it and that's where it started in this country

The Negus definition is real. But it is too late to overcome the ugly history of the N word. The word needs to die
