as far as downfall there are many factors for the downfall of the black community. it's like being stung from so many angles you don't know where to start the blame. all i know is that there's an assault on the black community. the worst thing about thsi assault or downfall is that it's being downplayed. look at y'all facebooks. they "ain't worried about nuthin".

2. it's worse today than it was for the black community. it gets worse everyday.

3. how can we get out of this hole? we can't get out of this hole. i shouldn't say that by i'm forced to. i just don't see the black community getting out of this situation. america was built on capitalism and capitalism is a big ass lie. someone has to get fucced for money to be made. and that's why the system is fuccin us.
the only thing we can do about it is talk. there's not even enough time to talk about it.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with the Civil Rights movement but we should've stopped at equal rights and protection under the law. I fully agree with the laws and amendments that came out of that movement. But...we shouldn't have begged to intregate into white society. That's where we fukked up. The Black Power Movement was our chance to get economically independent, which we can all agree is what we need the most. The realest freedom we can aspire to in this country.

During that time frame (Black Power in the 1960s) we started to come into our own and form a viable culture. Black banks, political movements, black entertainment successfully reaching the masses, ect. We were gaining ground in this society. Creating a meaningful self sustaining culture.
So what happened? :leostare:

Capitalism brehs. We started making the American dream our dream. A dream that was never designed for us. We had our own dreams to aspire to. We became trend setters, but instead of captializing off of our own sh1t, we chose to beg for acceptance in a community that never pretended to love or accept us. Still continues to this day. We gave them power by working within their framework instead of forming our own. But I didn't say all this to state the obvious. We can still fix this sh1t...

so whatever with all that...

how do we fix it?
I listen to some songs by Migos, lol... and gained a clear picture of everything that's wrong.

It's mentality first. It's the way you think of things.

We can't redo all of our integration mistakes on some hindsight is 20/20 shyt. We can't imagine the shyt those black people went through - in large we were nearly a defeated people.
Now We are so plugged into the system now that only a few can leave it without it being considered mass suicide.

You can mentally segregate without physically removing yourself because- if we completely separate 1) We actually don't control any resources in America, forget about Africa for now.... we live here and for the most part we don't produce anything but trends. 2) We can keep our money, keep our culture, keep our dignity - while still taking advantage of the luxuries of living in America.
