where did i say give up? please show me where. and i'll kindly correct myself.the problem is that you are focusing on idiots.
You focus in on what you want to hear...the negative.
its like those people on Fox news, they hear what they want to hear.
The honest truth is you can do what you want. What exactly are you not able to do? Do you remember the speech Obama gave after that Rev Wright stuff came out? That was one of the best speeches on race ive heard...it was about as balanced as you can get.
There is no mass conspiracy...the problem is that most people are lazy (black and white) and like to think in terms of making them feel better about themselves.
If you go on a white board there are people like you (the white version) that think everything/everyone is out to get them...and you have brothas that are the same. True there are problems, but they arent that major.
I grew up hearing a lot of the same stuff you are saying, but the people that told me about it also said the world is my oyster, and i can get past anything. Folks in my fam grew up around real racism, and still got theres...so i dont want to hear black folks complaining all the time when you are free to make any decision you want.
I can walk in any room and spark up a convo w/ anyone because I have an open mind...your doom and gloom is going to keep you from growing.
where did i say stay lazy and be lazy? please show me?
i said DONT FOOL YOURSELF. it exist, and it has existed for a very long time. and it continues to exist til this very day. YES WHITE SUPREMACY exists. does that mean they are sitting around a table trying to cook up ways to trick you? not necessarily. not all of them, or most of them. all that has to be done now is to keep doing what they've been doing. then people like yourself will think oh thats only the poor, uneducated ones. not realizing. there's a reason these people of color are always so poor and so uneducated. its a setup.
i'll prove to you its a setup.
You choose one of these outcomes.
Why are so many black folks uneducated/poor/broke/in jail?
Either scenario 1. black people (people of african heritage) are a less intelligent species and are lazy on a DNA level in comparison to white people
or
scenario 2. black people(african americans brought as slaves) were dumbed down.
you choose.
now i will help you choose.
we know scenario #1 isnt true [QUOTE]There were many forms of government in Africa before Europeans knew it, ranging from powerful empires to decentralised groups of pastoralists and hunters. In West Africa, archaeological excavations at Old Jenne (modern Djenné, in Mali) have uncovered a sophisticated urban settlement dating from the 3rd century BC. The ancient kingdom of Ghana was based on the gold trade and flourished from at least as early as the 8th century AD. In the Middle Ages much of modern Senegal and Mali was governed by a confederation of states known as the Mali empire.[/QUOTE]
so that sounds like we were getting it in heavy back in the day pre colonization.
we were obviously not less intelligent either
Geometry from Africa: Mathematical and Educational Explorations
by Paulus Gerdes
This book draws on geometric ideas from cultural activities from Subsaharan Africa, and demonstrates how they may be explored to develop mathematical reasoning from school level through to university standard. Paulus Gerdes provides a thoroughly illustrated and researched exploration of mathematical ideas, motifs and patterns. Many important mathematical points are brought to the fore, not via the formal 'theorem-proof' method, but in a more schematic and diagrammatic manner. African artifacts, oral traditions, sand drawing and other forms of artwork with a geometric basis, all provide mathematical ideas for discussion in this unique book. Mathematicians and teachers of mathematics at all levels will be fascinated, as will anybody with an interest in African cultures.
So if scenario #1 isnt true. why are we so bad off today? well i told you. you only have two choices #1 or #2. listen. these people are the off spring from the people that didnt allow your ancestors to READ. what part of the game is that? why are you INTENTIONALLY trying to keep me DUMB? what are you afraid of?
even IF the white guy standing next to you right now isnt intentionally being racist. he is living in a system of WHITE supremacy. where he will be better taken care of then you will. we're speaking about average people. not elites.
and he knows this. Would you give up that ability to make things right for a people who have been treated poorly for centuries? if your answer is "YES I WOULD" then you are a really nice/Godly person. but most people wouldnt. cause that would mean losing your status. do you know how many white families inheritied land/homes/money due to slavery(we didnt just pick cotton). but the blacks didnt inherit a thing in most cases. do you not understand how this would again put you behind the 8 ball. have you starting the race late as usual. having to try 3 times as hard as the next man in order to just scrape the crust. thats not fair, nor is it equal.
