How to feel about all the white people protesting?

[Vandelay]

Depends what their motivations are.

I'm skeptical. I'm not negative about it. I do feel that you need to have coalitions and that things aren't going to change with just us alone. We still have to live here. Trust me, I'm not on some kumbayah crap of let's live in harmony. That's not happening. That would not happen if there were all cacs here. The Irish were setting bombs of in England for how many years? There needs to be some common respect and no double standards. Which they don't need us for. They need to be the ones who need to be aggressive with other cacs about shyt being wrong. So let them protest away just as long as they keep that energy moving forward for the long term.

It is not worth thinking about personally because personally I believe nothing is going to change fundamentally when this all blows over anyway. You simply cant take Racism away from America no matter who protests. It's the foundation it was built on. You take away institutional racism and it's not even America anymore. It becomes Sweden or some other Scandinavian country. It's the same with Gun control. It can never happen in America because Americans love guns. No matter how many children die. You cant take their guns away. They dont care.

When I looked at the photos of the protests in front of the Barclays Arena, I was
completely surprised that the MAJORITY of the George Floyd protesters were not black.

It looked more like Occupy Wall Street.

After all this is Brooklyn. Over 1 million black people still live in the borough.

And the Barclays is walking distance from Grand Army Plaza and Eastern Parkway where
2 million black folks will get together each year for the West Indian Labor Day parade.

Biggest worldwide civil rights protests in the history of mankind. There were peaceful demonstrations as well as violence. It helps to amplify the movement to have "allies" however lets keep an eye on them and not assume they gonna be around next year. Milk them for whatever resources they have while they still caught up in the fad.

Underrated post, its sad we have to keep that in mind though.

White people have always protested with us, but breaking off from the protests to break windows and set fires? never seen that shyt until now

When malcom x was around we were a higher % of the pop, the US was really just black or white, so we had alot more jobs, property, and business which is why you could use "the greenbook" and never need services of white people, now we have 20 million plus mexicans, Indians, asians....its not just black an white.


But its 2020
Black home ownership is the worst it's ever been.
Black unemployment is at a 2 decade high 16%
On pace for zero wealth by 2050
The average black family is worth 1700 minus depreciating asset.

Were not in position to self help, we need game changing policy....reparations or it's a wrap

If this is the case then the boat has already sailed because cacs aren't doing anything substantial. It's a shame you genuinely believe black people can't get themselves out of this mess without the help of cacs.

Has nothing to do with belief, just the facts

Out of 40 million blacks only 380k millionaires
Even less with 500k.

We dont have the money. Anything that we would need to get "our own" we would run into the brick wall that is "white people"

Home loans, business loans will come from banks controlled by whites.

The reason asians, and Indians can generate their own revenue is because they have a based country to pull resources from.
There already educated and have access before they even come to the states.

We have none of that.

Were beyond "bootstrap" talk, there no places and the shoes barely have any sole left.

We need dramatic change

Them crakkkers better vote in the booth.

We still don't wanna have the conversation about how white people from all walks of life voted for Trump.

We shyt on Black folks who didn't vote at all--though our participate was very high.

It wasn't all racists and hillbillies.

Not to mention the nature of business is TOTALLY different with the death of brick and mortar, CORPORATIONS now have the rights of people and MONOPOLIES have basically been normalized.

Honestly tho. Most of them are bandwagoners and in it for the woke points so they could post it on their Instagram.

This, I don’t feel like it’s genuine anyway

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

I just hope alphabet people and me too don’t hijack the movement and attack black men


Oh wait


Let’s just hope it doesn’t go mainstream and they have a blacklgbt livesmatter just to spite us and cancel our hilarious politically incorrect black comedians and protect LGBT interests

Like pronoun policing shaming hetero men for not dating trans women and forcing
trans in sports

nikkaz mad when whites don't speak up and now nikkaz mad they DO speak up

Yeah, but a lot of em are speaking OVER Black people when they should be listening. This goofy shyt is going on in my city currently. Protesters place plaque in honor of George Floyd on downtown Raleigh Confederate statue :: WRAL.com
