Dog I'm in my mid thirties, yeah I know
When I was coming up, I went to a majority black middle and high school at the height of the black Conscious movement. Our schools made sure we not only read and talked about traditional literature, but we were exposed to classic black literature. We had to read Black Boy, Native Son and Malcolm X autobiography etc alongside traditional American literature like Catcher in the Rye. Hell, I remember my whole class going to South Dekalb mall to watch X at the theater.
What's really going on? Are millineals not getting the same type of exposure? I'm genuinely concerned at the racial insecurity of posters on this site. Especially given the age of some of the posters.
I can only speak in assumptions since I'm no longer in school and really have no idea but I think the internet and the way we interact with our friends and "enemies" is faking people into thinking they're being exposed to "real life".
The internet makes the world a small place which I think causes a disconnect to how connected and vital we all are to the worlds progress. I think a lot of people and especially younger kids think "living life" is being to connected to others at all times and using social media to allow others to live with them, so to speak. I think people THINK theyre being to exposed to more ideas, more people, more knowledge etc. but in reality, the internet is such a personally sculpted view that you still are only getting a small portion of whatever truth you think you're living. Experience is needed for exposure to set in and make a difference on a person.
I don't think the younger people are truly experiencing life. It might be my inner-grandpa talking or some shyt, but it's easy for people to be detached from something but to show to the outside world they're connected. Make a facebook status or tweet about something in the news as a way of showing youre keeping up with things but have no real knowledge or CARE for knowledge outside of the appearance of knowing/experiencing something.
I think it has a lot to do with the entitlement the younger generations are feeling because they've had everything at their finger tips their whole lives, but they also feel like they've lived an adults life already. I think youtube, worldstar and places like that are most people's experiences with other people now. They don't develop in relationships in the real world to differentiate the stereotypes that the media nonchalantly continues to project.
I just hope the smart, engaged kids are reading through these forums and articles, realizing it is on them to be apart of the changes they want to see, be in control of the world they see and be in control of what and how they can learn

Just tell me the time, I'll be there.
Problem is, blacks keep expecting some massive movement and some sort of leader to emerge. If you want to do some 'black empowerment', work with one of your fellow black friends and put him onto something. It's a bunch of small actions that lead to something huge.
Amen mah brother
history already show that black people are the only ones who suffer from internecine strife*
this disposition will soon be proven to be inherent to the black gene line
my lab is working on it
*except for all the wars of all the other races
All this talk about "black people dominated pre-history", "black people are genetically predisposed to laziness", "white people are evil", etc is some truly some 
material.
Three Rules
1. Race and culture are two different things, and races aren't very scientifically significant. This means that the vast majority of difference we see among groups of people is cultural, and culture is changeable.
3. Life=evolution=victory of the strong. If you want to win in life, then you better adapt to the circumstances. If you want your neighbors, friends, 'brothers', etc to do win too, the same goes for them.
Bonus
1. Calling people names over the internet is child's play. It makes you look like a child, not a badass.

1a. @bigDeeOT If there are racial intelligence differences, we won't really have visible cultural evidence for hundreds of years. That's how long it takes for tribal people to assimilate and 'old money' to lose its weight. Granted, economics is an asymmetrical system subject to quick jolts and redistributions of money, but cultural morality/memes are not. They take time to filter in and out.
2. Power=success=alpha=leader=responsibility. Anytime that you blame someone else for your problems, you shift responsibility. Responsibility is the same thing as power, so you're giving up your own power, and that's why it's counterproductive whether it was their fault or not. That's why the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s, despite having immediate benefits, sowed the seeds for some negativity that still persists to a small extent today.3. Life=evolution=victory of the strong. If you want to win in life, then you better adapt to the circumstances. If you want your neighbors, friends, 'brothers', etc to do win too, the same goes for them.
3a. The government does not care about you. They don't care about me either. It exists to take violent forms of competition and make them more economic and political. The government is not some benevolent organization; it serves the people that run it. In America, we the people have a lot of say in our government, but we don't quite run it (No, it's not run by white people either. The only names that matter are "dollar", "euro", "yen", "peso", etc). Don't EVER get caught in the trap of thinking that life is not about competition and that you are not alone in this life. You are alone. You have your local friends and family, but that's it. It's up to you to learn how the world works and succeed.
3b. Being separatist or having 'group economics' plans is not adapting. You might have a little personal success, but that would be no different than networking, except you'd be racially excluding a lot of people in your 'network'. You won't be making any racially significant progress in this 'group economics' attempt. Even if you were to do so, many businesses would not like you for it. It's best to just assimilate like the rest of us.
3c. Many races (groups) have slaughtered, brutalized, raped, and enslaved many other races over humanity's history. The Atlantic slave trade was FAR, FAR, FAR from the first, and if history is any indication, it will not be the last.

I heard that tariq shamed his listeners into donating to his "black horror film project" that only had two black people in it. The rest of the cast was non-black. If this is true then he's full of shyt. I wouldn't take advice from him on practicing group economics.
That's a pretty good point. When I think of asians for instance, asian people often time have their own restaurants and stuff in one small area. And sometimes it'll come equipped with their own supermarkets and stuff. So that makes me think of group economics. But when it comes to STEM fields, asians do not practice group economics. They don't go to asian only schools, they go to predominately white schools. They don't have aspirations of working for asian owned tech companies, they dream of working for the best of the best which are run by white people. Asians will also not be afraid to set up doctors offices in rich white neighborhoods.
What makes you think China and Japan dont have tech companies better than white people?
