I think black men kept white supremacist alive by not believing in themselves to go to school, take shyt seriously, step outside their comfort zone and build up other brothers. I had a lot of lowkey racist ass professors but I made sure I looked out for my brothers and check professors before they had anything ignorant to say. My mom grew up on welfare and foodstamps and I'm the first in my family to be middle class. I felt like a lot of the brothers I grew up with could have made it too if they didn't do dumb shyt like get into the drug game, knock up hoodrats, get knocked up and other stupid shyt. White, asian and hispanic kids do it too but they make sure they get their paper first and that it doesn't stop them from getting that nursing degree, marrying a wealthy guy or getting that high paying job.
I know a lot of smart ass cousins, uncles and close friends who got into dumb shyt and doubted themselves which is why they ended up where they were at in life. Nobody had the balls or the love to pull them to the side and support them. Then when they do feel like going for it, there is always a bunch of old ass dumb nikkas talking shyt about how they think they are too good for the hood and they are getting "uppity". One of my cousins could have easily done engineering but he got into coke and a bunch of other hood shyt beefing with nikkas and it fukked his career up. White people didn't have shyt to do with it.
I had to check my dad one time because he got on my cousin when he started that stupid ass rant against my cousin. I told him everyone who stayed behind is on drugs, in jail and into random bullshyt, what did he expect my cousin to do, stay there and do the same? He shut up after that because he knew it was true. They wasn't shyt for him in the country ass hood we stayed at. Unless you're life goal was to be a dusty ass nikka, you were up shyt creek settling down there.
I feel like low self esteem is a bigger enemy than white supremacy.
