I think a "new black" movement is absolutely necessary

[onelastdeath]

False. Abrahamic religions are 'Black' creations. 'White Supremacy' views them as a threat since they are the only forces that have proven effective against it.

This is why 80% of atheists are 'White'.​

We're in 2015. There is no time or reason to pray to Gods that don't exist. It'll only slow you down.

There is time to fight against 'White Supremacy' and the ONLY tools proven to effectively beat it are religions since they encourage community-building.

Without any sort of community, 'Black' people in this country are nothing more than a disparate group of individuals with no common goals that are easily exploited by 'White Supremacy'.

That's why homosexuals got the 'right' to marry while we're still waiting for the money they owe us.​

You know whats totally unenlightened? Believing that some people of your own race need to conform to your rigid understanding and requirements.

 

[Kitsch]

Bruh bruh bruh......pump your brakes.

If white supremacy can't be blamed then what's the point of all this?
Let's continue to ignore the fact that our own people kill each other way more than the police can ever dream of.
Let's continue not split our votes like "normal" races do.
Let's continue to pretend that Black single motherhood is acceptable.
Let's continue to act as if just because a half-cac president being elected is like.....the best thing ever.

bruh, all the pre-eminent black activists who put their lives on the line from garvey to malcolm x to MLK sought strength through their religion.

arguably the most popular pro-black movement (rastafari) is rooted heavily in the abrahamic faith.

abandoning religion won't do shyt toward eliminating white supremacy... just like if we stop saying nikka, it'll have little effect.

white interpretations of christianity is a distortion, but i won't cast a broad stroke against religion. and i'm not even religious.

tell me what enlightened black atheists are doing to advance black folks in 2015. tangible gains.

Start by mastering trades that are needed.

If you know how to do stuff you can start and insulate a movement of professionals who are able to help one another.

If not then you don't really have much of a movement.

We need to start learning how to play the game of capitalism or we're going to get wiped out and become a permenat underclass.

Can't get in that game since, due to 'White Supremacy', 'Black' people only have about 2-3% of the Nation's wealth while comprising almost 15% of the population.

They owe us a LOT of money.​

Damn you are right...Look at all those world wars we started, and the countless lives lost as a result; look at all those weapons of mass destruction we created to use on each other and others; Look at the drones we drop on each other; never forget the times we sent each other to those gas chambers to be burned alive or worse.

The movie theaters, the schools, the serial spree killings...Damn, what is wrong with us, why do we need violence so much? We should love each other more instead of coming up with better nerve gases to get rid of one another.

Black people need to do better

This dumb idea didn't work when Dubois proposed it and it won't work now.

But if we just spend all of our money with black businesses, we will enrich our communities

Black spending power is one trillion dollars

While we're ignoring things, let's just ignore the actual cause of all those issues........

The title of the video should be The Fall of Capitalism as we know it. I don't foresee this system sustaining itself for very long.

mass movements haven't worked in this country. double agents and cointelpro have been in effect since before the Marcus Garvey days. it may go all the way back to plantation days in history.

[George's Dilemma]

a mass movement is less feasible at this point than just leading by example
embody those traits you wish to see and achieve success
action and tangible gains are the best inspiration
many young blacks only see c00ns, dopeboys, hoes and athletes winning in the media, so of course many of us have those aspirations.
if enough of us shift that paradigm individually, that's a movement in itself

get that education and be innovative about your revenue streams. be aware that other groups will try to hinder your every step, but i think we are the pioneers to turning shyt around, post-crack epidemic.

I agree with this, but one thing I think should be added is that we should be shaming more people in our community. There was a time when a person had an illegitimate child, that person was viewed negatively. Nowadays it's completely acceptable (encouraged even in some cases) and it goes without saying how detrimental single parenthood often turns out to be for a child's upbringing. The same can be said with other elements found within communities such as dope dealers, gangsters, thieves, etc.. These folks shoud be shunned and viewed as disgraces within the community. Unfortunately, that's easier said then done because these same nefarious individuals are often enough our childhood friends, our sons, our cousins, our brothers, etc.. The Black community has a b*stardized form of Don't Ask-Don't Tell when it comes to what people are doing on the low. We tend to mind our business when it comes to the actions of others. I have to ask though, how can you mind your business when their actions ruin the neighborhood?

That said, we complain about police brutality, but we never complain about what draws the police presence in the first place. White supremacy isn't something that's going to be changed anytime soon, but that doesn't mean we can't mitigate some of it's effects on our community. One of the ways I think to do it, would be to address some in-house cleaning that needs done.
