Exactly. That's why I don't believe in the concept of allies. No ally is going to bolster you economically to compete with them. No outside group is going to give you anything without strings attached that benefit them. But too many of us would rather beg whites to change so we can avoid the work of building our own because on a mental level many of us are afraid to compete and we don't want to admit it. I have conversations all the time with people about gaining power to change things and I always notice people's passivity and timidness in acquiring it (especially black men).
It's hard to fight for your community when you struggle to acquire the basic necessities for survival (food, shelter, water). When you look back at some of the most influential leaders and movements of the day, so many of them struggled to keep going because they lacked resources. Garvey, MLK, Malcolm, Amos Wilson, and many others died penniless. And sometimes I feel as though they died for nothing because we are currently making the same mistakes they did decades ago.
