If someone were coming into my business talking about nikka this nikka that I would just give him the :camby:

I don't deal with nikkas. I deal with black peopl...e and the occasional cac unfortunately.
Sounds good you dealing with whoever spending money if you running a business sir. I've never saw somebody not do business because of saying nikka to each other but maybe you are the exception to the rule.

Listen to the OP.

He is tired of the ignorant mentality we project to the point that he doesn't think we can rise above it as a result.

In other words this ghetto mentaliy is turing many of us off.it's to the point we can't see any positivity coming out of it.

You can't work together with people who don't respect themselves. At some point you begin to say.we don't see eye to eye on some of the most basic principles as a people.

If we can't stand being around one another because inappropriate behaviors then how can we build on a collective level.
Ok Prodigy salute. I wish to use e word because like I said there are no implications from using it how most blacks use it. I could even understand if you were some older black but younger blacks nah. Hell even some older blacks say the word and most of them are successful but I'm supposed to listen to you a worker man about using a word when its people that in appropriate settings use the word that own they own stuff and of getting big/good money using the word? See how that looks and Im not saying it don't work the other way but using you as an example it doesn't seem to have served you well outside of meaningless salutes unless you some high ranking military cat that's why I will keep using the word because outside of you saying you more aware you haven't said one actual factual thing. Its just opinions which we all have and can disagree on like this right here. I also don't see how your behavior will reflect that that sounds like some more of your better than others stuff again because I doubt you can't show any proof that those using it act more like anything than those who don't. Just some stereotypes probably and I can't take that seriously sorry.

A black leader is needed. And not one of these sellout black men or ex-street hustler.
Why, so they can get sent out to get shot like the leaders of the past? The last thing we need is a so called leader. I swear we the only group who constantly cry out for a leader, no other group of people need a designated leader, so why do we? We just need to get the same page and link with like minded individuals, then we'll be able to get shyt done.

I completely sympathize with what OP is saying but I can never give up on Black America. What I can do is be the best person, I can be and guide the youth through working with the Urban League and other social programs that I am either the head of or sit on the board of. I can use my opinions and reach to teach younger people what I have learned and to exchange ideas on how to do better. The Black family in america is broken and we (Black men) are not successful as a collective, we shoot, rob and kill each other for crumbs, but I have also seen a young Stanford educated football player challenge the perceptions of the Black man both as athlete and student, I have seen us rally around the untimely death of a young man, and though far from perfect, we used our political power as a collective to elect a Black President and all that entails. I just think that we need to look at ourselves at an individual level and so the best we can do. We need to achieve and succeed at the same rate our female counter parts are and build from there.

I respect your opinion, but I disagree. I'm not into making lengthy post so it will be short. I don't think you can compare striving group to black groups. They have rules and principle already installed. And the idea of black people being on the same page and just figuring it out hasn't worked.

I gave up on my own nephew after he told me to go fukc myself the 29th time and deleted me from FB.

I gave up on my hood the night random niqqas in masks tried to gun me down.

I gave up on black clubs after ducking my 32nd shootout.

I am for anyone who is for me or at least neutral toward me. I avoid and actively work against anyone who is against me.

For all the savages: I wish we could cull you all. For all the sane black people: if I ever make money I'll spend every penny gambling on our future.

If we can't pull out of this nose dive then it's something wrong with us. A weakness. A flaw. An inability to fend for ourselves. I have faith that we CAN and I believe we WILL overcome. Someday.

Japan, but from the 989
I think a lot of us are going to have to come to the realization that our social structure whether we like it or not is a Pyramid. We are unable at the present moment to make it flat. We are going to have people from the community (a small percentage) be at the top while the masses are at the bottom. I too, want a world where we have more economic power and political power but there are realities that we have to deal with. On mass we are the most incarnated and less educated. These things can change but it will take a LOT of time or a dramatic event to change the course of the masses. Talked to my cousin on the phone, total definition of being trapped. Instead of going to school and finishing he wants to smoke weed and hang out with nikkas who haven't finished high school. He is young but doesn't understand that once you get in the system as a Black man there is no way out. I'm not giving up on Black America, because I know we are out here changing the world but no one knows it yet. It's the (pardon my language) nikkas that I have the problem and I'm being so sincere with this. Baby mommas who don't care who the father of their child is, partying every night in the club, proud to be getting a check (welfare), celebrate a nikka getting out of jail instead of celebrating him graduating college ass nikkas, are ruining the culture.

But if fools want to be fools, you let them, but it's up to you get the fukk away from them before they self destruct.
