Has anyone else noticed it's a divide happening in the black community between conspiracy theorist and those who aren't?

[MostReal]

How can you be Black and not be a conspiracy theorist? With as many people, governments and organizations that have conspired against us over the years…

This has always been my question.
I'm amazed at the naivete faith in government

 

[Richard Glidewell]

It used to just be that weird uncle or auntie....... the young cousins are staying with that shyt early these days....... can't have that around me and they always wanna know when we gone link........

You believe that Jay Z and Rihanna are in the Illuminati

The shyt I get from some folks when they find out I'm a Mason

 

[acri1]

Can anyone give examples of these so called conspiracy theories you’re referring to?

Earth is flat
Trump won the election
COVID isn't real and/or the vaccine will kill you
Climate change is a hoax
The moon landing was faked
Illuminati bullshyt
Q-Anon
Pizzagate


I could go on. If you believe in any of that shyt you're dumb

Breh you had nikkas on here saying Kanye's song Mercy was a demonic chant

If that was the case, why would it be surprising? Azaelia Banks was literally on a livestream sacrificing a chicken in her closet and has another video where she is boiling the bones of her deceased cat. Erykah Badu is a well known witch. Jay Z is on video holding hands with Marina Abramovich, one of the highest ranking witches. Lil Nas X is giving Satan a lapdance on a song. How much more obvious doesn't it need to be that in a lot of music they are doing witchcraft? It's not even a 'theory' at this point. There are esoteric concepts all over these videos and songs and it's not even hidden anymore.

I'm better educated than approximately 99.8% of the population (source) and I'd be considered a conspiracy theorist. In turn, I'd argue that I simply have more experience with the ruling class and am more fully aware of the full extent of their perfidy.

That said, conspiracy theories abound when the people lose trust in institutions, ie, the gov't, the media, academia, the economy, etc. The social effects of Katrina, 9/11, the Great Recession, and Covid should clear all that up for you.

Hottie I need to break up your marriage. I love your posting style. Woman always drops a lil "word of the day" into her posts. And I am a very very well read dude. Albeit it is in math and not use of the English language...Last week we got "germane", this week I learn perfidy.......Maybe it is the ability to use it without overthinking it....anyways, bush the husband this weekend and pack a bag we going to the Maldives.

My 8th grade Latin teacher embarrassed me and him at graduation. He said I had a "love affair" with words. It was kinda weird, ngl, but I appreciated the sentiment.

We just made 23 (happy) yrs, I'm straight, but again, I appreciate the sentiment.

[Nkrumah Was Right]

I can see it everywhere from the Coli, social media, and even my brother be on that shyt now. It's got to the point now where everything including sports is rigged. Everything is about the illuminati and secret society bullshyt, like everything.

Anyone else notice this? I think it's fukking our community up and it's annoying as fukk. The Katt Williams shyt is a prime example of it. I believe a majority or close to if of black Americans prolly think Kevin Hart was sucking dikks and fukking goats to get to where he is. Literally any weird ass conspiracy will have black folks like "I believe it!: Then these will be the same folks calling Democrats sheep and rocking with Trump. shyt is beyond annoying man.

How is this an issue?

If COINTELPRO happened, anything under the sun is possible.

The fall of print media has been a major detriment to society.

When you heard news or "breaking news" you'd expect it to be from The NY Times or Associated Press. Now it's a YouTube link.

We used to get information from journalists who had fact checking and editors. Printing lies could lead to libel or slander suits so there were checks and balances. They were held accountable.

Anyone can say anything on YouTube and somehow it's gospel despite them having no credentials or evidence to support their claims.

Google should have been vigilant in not having channels like that be monetized or a part of the algorithm. Most of them should have been outright deleted.

I don't fault people who think white people/the government are out to get them at every turn just off of slavery and the things that have effected black people throughout the years.

 

[Red Money]

You believe that Jay Z and Rihanna are in the Illuminati

Jay-Z doesn't know where the liquor bottles are for a business he claims to be the boss and had litigation pending. Jay was hustled on tidal and had suits pending. Jay claimed he was working with NFL for racial justice....he just picks the Superbowl halftime acts.


Jay just a pitchman like the dude on the ShamWow commercial! And the ShamWow guy wrote a couple in living color skits so he's relevant to the culture as well

breh....i was going to make a thread on this and why it's affected music in this era

Do it breh...I know it was a terrible idea in general but I never thought about it affecting music

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Everything is a humiliation ritual now

Motherfukkers can't tell you how to open a brokerage account and start a portfolio but know the inner workings of so called "secret" societies.
