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

[TL15]

You displayed a gif showing barry shaking defenders, on a thread discussing racism. i called out said gif, because i refuse to believe in quit. take it for you want

I'm not doing this bro. If you're choosing not to acknowledge the context of the touchdown run and are ignorantly trying to say that I'm comparing my life to Barry Sanders' decision to stop playing football you're being willfully obtuse. Negged, ignored. Take care breh

 

[badboys11]

Ima say you talking to someone born and raised in the city housing the silverdome, your clip was misguided, barry represents empty wins. but im blocked so what does it matter

 

[Emoryal]

All the time breh
But instead of running and cry i discriminate and oppress them too and i feel very good

Fight fire with fire brehs, white people behave like dogs when cornered

Non black people have nothing to do with us

true

I'm one of those people too. Even when I'm "good" I can't just enjoy the feeling because I'll read about a black person somewhere getting shoot or hemmed up or fukked up by some cacs or non-blacks. It's hard to remove myself from the stuff that happens to other black people, like a nikkah getting lynched in DR bothers me and I don't even live or be in DR like that. A black person in South Africa being discriminated against in South Africa bothers me. I don;t understand the Coli black separatists or black Israelites. Any black person (real black person, not no c00n or non black claiming brown person) getting fukked up feels like a loss for my life personally and my families life. I just can't break that cycle or feeling

We are kindred in this attitude breh. I don't talk about it much, as I have pursued removing this feeling by treatment. It was explained to me that some people are extreme empaths and a condition like the one we are in...combined with the rapid information/misinformation; will unbalance the empath. I have since associated this with my life experience and unfortunately see a correlation to my darkest phases as my most receptive state. This is how I rectified severe depression, PTSD, etc...I wallowed in that state of dense emptiness/lowness/powerlessness and my mind moved rapidly through a series of causations and endstates. It helps me stay rooted to unadulterated truths of this reality. This is how I help others...at the expense of myself. I honestly find happiness by seeing/providing someone else a path to find theirs. This is also my deep feeling to a collective black solution "separate from racism"...is I would volunteer my life...if it meant that instantly this black global family regained a love/respect/unity for each other again.

Be honest with yourself

How often to you feel oppressed or discriminated against?

What are you expections of "fair" treatment and do you feel you are being treated humanely? How about others from your racial social group?

Do you feel your racism and oppression is "normal" now? Or do you find yourself uncomfortable daily?

It can never be normalized and I believe it is the source or trigger of a lot of mental health issues amongst black males specifically because we won't accept it as a norm.

Sometimes your eyes get open and you peep behind the curtains it can break you because of that feeling of hopelessness. We know the game is rigged and we still gotta play.

I live life in detachment so racism doesn't affect me.

Remember power is given not taken.

This is bullshyt and you know it.
Racism affects the lives of every black person even those so delusional as yourself to believe it doesn't affect you.

Can't nothing affect you unless you give it the power to and that goes for anything in life.

If you're detached can't nothing affect you, its only until you attach yourself to something that it controls you

You love money ? That mean it controls you. Racism doesn't affect me because I give it no power.

Power is given not taken.

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...

Detroit is one of the most economically depressed cities in America.
After the riots, white flight led many to leave the city.
There are blocks of streets that are just filled with abandoned houses.
Schools and parks close down regularly.
Cops are barely visible in certain parts of teh area.
Anywhere that isn't on the outskirts of downtown is economically depressed.
Detroit is 85%+ black because most black folks don't have enough money to leave the area...not to mention Kwame Brown sabotaged the development of Africa town which would of been akin to China town in any other city because he conceded on other's thoughts that the development of it was "racist".
Now he's in jail for being a corrupt piece of shyt.
So are you a white troll trying to derail a serious convo or did you really expect to take us seriously by claiming Detroit as some sort of black mecca and not the failure of the death of industry and America's love of fukking over black people?

This is still delusional bullshyt and I'm actually beyond wowed you take it seriously.
What happens if a cop decides to question you cause you fit the description of a suspect in a crime and decides to fukk with you and lock you up cause you're black?
So racism doesn't affect you in that situation cause you didn't give it any power?
You didn't give it any power and it still affected you directly.
You sound like one of these post-racial new blacks that lives in fukking LA LA LAND!
You sound PATHETIC!

We would all want to be treated better. But what makes us INSANELY special is that we achieve at high fyckin levels against all odds. They won't let us in their leagues and then when they do we take over the hall of fame. They won't let us in their colleges...and when they do we take over that shyt. They didn't want us in their boardrooms and in our lifetime WE WILL take over silicone valley.

I loved your post, but I'd rather black folks have our own leagues, our own colleges, or our own boardrooms, and our own silicon valley. fukk always wanting to be in white people's bullshyt when it's obvious we aint' wanted.

That's how I felt about that story of that black kid getting killed in Greece.

I used to have all of these fantasies of DJing in some European countries, but after reading about that, I just feel cold, bitter, and disillusioned about going overseas to Europe anymore. I really dont' even like being around large crowds of white people anymore. Why have fun in a place where you're worried that some jealous cacs gonna kill you cause you black? How can you when that's in/on the back of your mind?
