No, not aka that. I just don't want to be redundant. Like I said, stick to your solid Black base in the south. If it's working out well for you, great.aka I can't explain my half-baked plan

@TheProfessor on another note, the DA prosecuting over the Mike Brown case is Bob McCulloch (the one who has never got a grand jury indictment when an unarmed black man was killed by a white police officer) is an elected official in STL. He's also a board member on the organization that's raising money for Darren Wilson (500k at last count).
If you still thinking voting is not important, you've been fooled breh. He's held that position since 1994, and he keeps getting elected. He's also a democrat, so the majority of black people who did vote, probably voted along party lines to keep a white supremacist in office.
Smart money would be to build as much of a economic base as possible in the south east from DC through Virginia, north and south Carolina, Georgia. And then after we get that going with Atlanta as the hub of it we go international into Africa. That's our best bet. That way we box ourselves off and concentrate our money in a area where most of our businesses would be located. But in a order for that to work you gotta have a movement of some sort to get people on board.
Yep the south > the rest of the country. All the culture comes from down here and we mostly live down here we need that youth movement to focus down here. We gotta tune out the old heads, conspiracy theorists, and c00ns. Because clearly they're all failures and we are the future. We have creative solutions that will get executed in due time when we accumulate some more influence.The exit plan

I know that I'm a good man. As badly as you wish to hurt me with your rhetoric, you can't. Your philosophy has accomplished nothing and is unlikely to ever accomplish anything. Love will overcome hate. The wisest men in history have all known this.
Darren Wilson should be in prison.
The winning attitude is people blaming white folks for our problems but recognizing that they want us to fail and to succeed in their world we have to use our intellect against them. Which comes naturally to those awake. The frustration and difficulty isn't in the actual work to succeed it's in getting people to understand and trust these simple solutions could work en masse. What I think our biggest spring board to making this initial push to get the ball rolling is our utter domination of culture. If we can take control of that and put it in the south we got it brehs.
By Method of elimination and the failure of our brave leaders past we're left with one solution.
Your suggestion is simplistic and genius.
The Exit Plan: Mass Organization
We finance our way out of this country. The solution is conscious and rooted in reason and intellect. We're going to win in spite of ourselves
Caution though, like brother @Poitier said.. Our battle or our generations next battle in Africa is Coloniailism.
Respectfully...you're right, I don't think voting is effective. Changing the system has been something we've tried to do for many years now. I'm of the opinion that, given the innumerable roadblocks set in place, given past history and current events, there will continue to be roadblocks -- whether a Black person is in office or not.
We've got one in the White House, actually.
Anyway, I don't think there's a single initiative we haven't tried already and I suspect it won't be long before things take a turn for the worse. If the key is to get OUR people in power then maybe we need to start doing that in places where our people are already the majority.
This is the reason why it is a waste of time to put energy in politics. These parties are two sides of the same devil. One side pacifies us while the other demonizes us. Both treatments are equally as damaging. After Obama the puppet, our people will not be wise enough to realize that politics is nothing more than a scam.
Breh, I never said to put faith in politics. I said we need to put ourselves in these positions of power because they're currently being held by white supremacists
I'll use Dallas and Ferguson to illustrate the importance of having black elected officials.
We all know the Ferguson DA Robert Mcculloch is a white supremacist, and he's using his position of power (that he was elected to by the people of STL) to enforce his white supremacist ideology.
The Dallas DA is a black man named Craig Watkins (shout out to @*DalMem*) He was elected to office and he's using his position of power to free wrongly convicted black men through an initiative he's spearheading along with judge Gracie Lewis (a black woman who was also elected to her position of power).

So far they've overturned 34 wrongful convictions. The most recent exoneration was of a black man who was in prison for 12 years for raping a cac. The man wasn't even looking to be exonerated when Watkins and Lewis ordered his release. On top of that the DA publicly apologized for the wrongful conviction on behalf of the state of Texas. He also rushed the exoneration hearing so he can be released as quickly as possible. They also rewarded him $80,000 for every year he was wrongly incarcerated.
Meanwhile the STL DA is still on the board of the group raising money for Darren Wilson and says he has absolutely no intention of stepping down.
I don't know who convinced black people to not vote, but it's one of the reasons why we're losing. We HAVE to have people that represent us at these seats of power. Because if we're not there, our enemy definitely will be.
