How blacks are portrayed in popular media has ALOT to do with our collective self-esteem.
Black people (specifically the young black male) are the most stereotyped group on the planet. These stereotypes includes being physically intimidating/aggressive, hypersexual and being "swagged out" basicly
This leads to many black men feeling the need to fit inside the box that popular media has set for us. Young black males have the most pressure to exude "coolness", a certain sense of style, physical prowess, aggressiveness and to be good with the ladies, etc
Those of us who don't fit inside this small box are often accused of being soft, lame or even "not black enough".
Dont know if any of this applies to the vid cuz I didn't watch it past 1min. Seems like this is strictly over some female.
Either way I'm out,
Peace.

where did I say that systemic oppression stops you from you (usually) breathing on a daily basis?
Mixed race people aren't black.
There's black INDIVIDUALS that are middle class or rich but there are NO black middle class COMMUNTIES.
All black people in the U.K. live in the poor/working class neighborhoods.
If they end up rich they end up living next ot cacs.
Do you see now?
In America, AAs actually have black suburbs, middle-class communties that are largely black.

Breh lers not be obtuse. We dont have any Black middle class neighbourhoods or establishments like Americans do, one black breh in these schools doesnt really count when they have predom black private schools there.
I agree with the rest of your message, we need to acknowledge the systems holding us back we have to limit how mentally constrained by it. This comes from believing we can do anything.
Like Fab said, theres a Lie in the middle of Believe, sometimes you gotta lie to achieve.

Shouldn't that self-esteem lead to black folks organizing together and staying on code and supporting black businesses and not looking for cac validation and so on?

Studies show Blacks have the highest average self-esteem; whites fall in the middle, slightly above Hispanics, and Asian Americans dead last.

No one with high-levels of self esteem would go to the levels we go to simply to stunt and show off for other black people.
When ur self esteem is high u can shop at Goodwill and still pull a bad b1tch.

I meant "god" in the more metaphysical sense of being all perfect.
White people set up puppet governments through bribing weaker minded individuals.
Various governments in the past have been overtaken not externally but internally by people that were bribed by Western powers.
Or those same Western powers will enter and finance projects but keep a country so in debt through interest payments, etc.., that the smaller, less advanced nation finds it difficult to maintain infrastructure and make those interest payments (check IMF and the ebola outbreak).
A lack of communication and problem solving capabilities is why we as Black people are in the position we are in today.
To what extent? Do even 10 percent of blacks practice racial unity?
The NOI is the only organization that I know that has maintained this unity.
Nah it would lead to not obsessing about race and living the best you can. You asked
