Has Racism and Oppression become "Normal" to black people?

[Kenny WRLD]

I know how to talk to Cops. I don't get oppressed

 

[HopeKillCure]

I feel frustrated and angry

Do you feel like you being radicalized because of that anger or you just through the day?

 

[HopeKillCure]

i feel frustrated and lost.

Frustration, I get that. But why the "lost"? How are you "lost" breh?

 

[Seoul Gleou]

it would be normalized if black people werent explicitly aware of it. if youre black, no matter where you live, you will experience racism and oppression at one point or another in your life. even if you're successful, its a tax you cannot avoid.

Please break it down

Whats your approach breh?

teach us how. I need it man because im slowly decending into madness.

It's all mental. Whenever you're attached to anything it controls you. But its your mind attaching itself, so empty the mind basically meaning transcend the mind and you won't feel pain, suffering, etc anymore because you can actually see reality now. Whenever you're attached to something it blinds your ability to see clearly

Heaven, Nirvana, etc is what you want your mind to be.

Basically read ancient African spirituality books it will teach you the way. Meditation, celibacy is all key.

We've been oppressed for centuries so eventually we're gonna be desensitized to it.
Black people maneuver around cacs on autopilot.
We know our limitations instinctively.
Black people know the way they should behave around cacs in different social environments and scenarios.
Whether it be on the job or face to face with police.

to answer your questions in the OP(edit):
How often to you feel oppressed or discriminated against?
Any time I think about what our people are going through here and around the world.
Because I don't think on an individual level if something is happening in one black person it's happening to all of us. It's in the mode of possibility.
What are you expectations of "fair" treatment and do you feel you are being treated humanely? How about others from your racial social group?
I don't expect to be treated fairly because I haven't been treated fairly in the past.The very few times that I have been treated "fairly" it was a surprised. I have very low expectations every time I deal with cacs.
Do you feel your racism and oppression is "normal" now? Or do you find yourself uncomfortable daily?
The answer to this question is pretty obvious due to my previous answers.

I mean the opinion is if you're discriminated against in anyway or aren't white you can be considered black. I've had friends tell me stuff like that and dudes on here sometimes follow a similar line of thinking. It's stupid but that's how they feel

Blackness has been made synonymous with "discrimination" and bad treatment when it's much, much more than that...Is that what you saying?

explain why this is a problem in your mind

I speak my mind. i respect this forum, but anyone irl can get it. y'all gotta quit being punked, ill be damned

Absolutely. Look at our reaction to it. We have internalized our condition, in turn it manifests in self harm. Do you understand how tired we are of having to talk about racism/oppression? I even shifted my focus away from racism/oppression from "external" and selected black evolution/philosophy as a new outlook. I now mostly seek to dialogue with black men/women...but mostly men in a manner that revolves around quickly removing habits, ideas, and approaches that are "self limiting." In this aspect we will create a new "normal" for our existence and movement, rather than constantly obsess over the studied nature of a vile entity. I now understand that we have to remedy or destroy the oppressor/threat/useless within our ranks first. Its a constant ideological battle tho

c00n WS

Knowing we have compromised individuals that can destroy the entire legacy/effort/argument/movement/community/etc....is disconcerting to the point that I can't fight WS without waiting on the saboteur to come out of the formation on some "don't offend"or "I exclusively PAWG"or" that's not my situation"....and most recently some "I defend ignorance" shyt.

Whatever tho.

you're just blatant with it now huh?

Elaborate breh?

Is our generation softer than our ancestors? Are we getting punked collectively or is it just an individual problem?

 

[BmoreGorilla]

its definitely normal for us as a whole. Many of us still think like slaves. Even on this site. Think about that

 

[The D-List Vet]

Frustration, I get that. But why the "lost"? How are you "lost" breh?

i am lost because two to three years back i was more positive on the out look on the system of white supremacy and i thought we could beat it.. but @number21 thread got me looking at the whole picture. i don't know what to think or feel anymore, there more to ending WS then just Getting rid of cacs.. what are the steps we are taking to prevent another race of people from putting their own system in place once WS ends?


Man at most all i want to do now is Save my money move out of Amerikkk try to find a place in Africa and live my life out there i will never truly feel we are done. but its getting to the point where its normal to kill our people and i cant take it anymore, i am still at how that cave bytch got off because they said there were hungry so let her go

Study your history. they threw down back then, detroit is 90 percent+ black because my uncles and their kin stood up. 50 fukking years later look at the title of your post...

So we just accepting it as a tax?

Slavery lasted a long time because the ancestors felt powerless, even though people knew it was evil
