Is Being (woke) worth it?

[Free White & 21]

I'd rather be here talking about our situation instead of recognizing white supremacy, then having a mental breakdown trying to deny it and/or be treated as a pet negro within the system (c00ning).

But do you breh. Go ahead and play dumb, you'll get your nikka wake up call one day and hopefully it isn't fatal

What if there were no nikkas, only master teachas?

Why should any black person be happy to wallow in self-inflicted ignorance and stupidity?

I'm mad as fukk today...b. That anger that inspires that change in the world ya feel me?

I can understand, you a sensitive ass college black boi that hangs out with majority white people at a PWI and this information you are learning about the black experience in AMerica nad abroad is fukking you up mentally and you just want to live in ignorance and pretend race doesn't matter and still act like you on the same level as them. I used to be like you....keywords: USED TO.

No black person can afford to be ignorant and dumb....sure, this society loves ignorant and dumb nikkas..but honestly the majority of ignorant and dumb nikkas are not getting rewarded, they are getting fukked over and exploited by everyone else who is awake while they are sleeping.

TL, DR; 1 star, neg rep pending.

Naw I dont got to PWI , Im not sensitive , not very young anymore also. What I can't stand is not being able to enjoy the same foolish things many of my peers are able to. Since being woke has showed me what we are is pawns. Unless we make are own path. I don't have white friends , I don't talk to white ppl, I regularly check white ppl. This has more to do with my black peers , so I don't know how you got anything about white pol from this.

Let me be honest yes we the ppl of the coli look down on other social media, many of us think coli not even social media. The Thing is Men grow in benchmarks (age wise) so what we think is cool at 19 might be stupid at 21.


The fact that many of us joined message boards in high school, we adapted to the thoughts of ppl who are older and wiser than ourselves which has made us distain the thought and actions of are peers. What I'm trying to say is the facts are we have been groomed on tons of topics from black plight to the evils of white people.

This has aged are minds to the point where we see are peers as lost fools who can't see what really happing in front of them. This leads to mental isolation (not physical) which brings in depression which so many Men on here seem to have.


Simple answer is to stay off coli or just hang out more with your peers.

The main idea is Being wise beyond your years is a gift and curse.

I understand where you are coming from, I was always the moral compass in any group I was apart of. I was always the one bringing up deeper topics and no one wanted to listen. Some people want to stay ignorant because its easier to conform that way. Like being at a party when your sober and everyone else is drunk. The majority feel comfortable in the haze of modern day society.

To answer the question of "Is it worth being aware of the numerous issues we currently face as being black and a man"

Once you are aware it doesn't matter how you feel about it. It is your current reality and you can never truly go back to your previous paradigm.

Now how you deal with it is another story.

Damn I love these kinds of discussions

Self awareness is a must if you out here playing the game but you dont know the rules you will lose everytime.

That's woke means to me, knowing things are not random.

People use woke as an excuse for not being well rounded.

I don't even stay informed, so I can't even talk about social issues. A chick tried to hold a conversation on Global Warming.

Sounds like your saying that being aware of the black plight and the evils of white people is a BAD thing

If anything, not enough of us ARE aware and have knowledge of self and our history. Thats the key to "change". Matter fact, one of the main weapons of white supremacy is keeping blacks as ignorant as possible. This is why they hide and manipulate past history.

Honestly, I think he is trying to say that once you are violently pulled out of the modern day mindset (mentally) you see so many things in a different light all at once. It is overwhelming. Now you can't hang with the same people, you think and see things way too differently now. Its difficult to enjoy movies, tv and other things you liked before because now you see the underlying, permeating, evil system beneath.

So now it is like starting over in a new life, but your doing it pretty much alone with very little support. Hence the blessing and a curse.

Blessing of being able to face the enemy armed with awareness and information. The freedom to avoid the pitfalls of the system and make your own way.

Curse is the fact of being unable to vibe with most of the populace because of their ignorance. It is more of a lonely road.

But I think that forums like this help others find like minded individuals so they can see that others, like them, are trying to fight and make the best of a shytty hand.

Communication was something they tried to take from us. They done lost that fight.

My interpretation

 

[Fatboi1]

I still remember the first time I read something that sparked my desire to "wake" up. It was an article on melanin.

This article literally is THE thing that changed my mind completely.
BLACK SKIN IS THE GENETIC PARENT

After that I was just reading and watching so much other shyt.

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

Americans are possible the only group of people who attribute any kind of depth internally or self-awareness to the world around them only have bleak conclusions.

The sad part is, it usually serves as a self-fulfilling purpose.

But I think that's changing.

Well going by the thread title and asking is it "worth it", i dont understand that part. In order for the black race to ever progress, as many of us needs to be "woke" as possible.

It almost sounds like OP is saying log off, stop discussing certain issues and go back to sleep. Maybe im wrong

Is the disconnect worth it?

Short term? Pain and confusion.
Long term? New sense of individuality and a new found appreciation of your heritage.

Should also light a fire under your ass to take life more seriously and pursue the things you put on the backburner.

You literally can't afford to be not be "woke" these days. Just because you don't want to play the game doesn't mean the rules don't apply.
