Bullshyt no other ethnic group has been sabotaged and attacked more than black folks historically...:hhh: been fighting for equality to move up for 400 fukking years ane no one more than us gets attacked and financially sabotaged when we start making moves..

Breh.

There's nothing stopping a group of brehs coming together to pool resources to build something TOGETHER.

We don’t do it and don’t like to do it because we are told to be individuals and be in competition with other black men.

Saying “I did X on my own” gets more SOCIAL POINTS in the community than “WE did X together” :francis:

ah yes...400 years when all we had to do was change our mindset. shyt sounds like white people and their "black people need to change their victim mentality". Yall walk be reciting white supremacist shyt almost word for word when yall get on here trying to shyt on the black community under the guise of "critique".
Since "white supremacy" is holding us back so much, why are there so many of us that succeed in life? Why does it seem like those of us that go to school, do well in school, get great careers, learn about financial literacy, obey the law, etc. do just fine in this country with minimal problems? Of course there have been some road blocks in my life, but aint shyt held me back except myself.

And that's not saying white supremacy doesn't exist, but stop trying to use it as the reason why black people can't excel; because it's not true. It has put us behind in comparison to others, but it aint that hard to get above those "others" because aint shyt stopping us but us.

If you can learn anything at any time, that means you can gain any skill at any time and obtain any job you want at any time, if you put in the work. I never heard of white supremacy turning off somebody's internet connection because they were learning too much in an attempt to move up in the world...

A gym or rec center isn't changing generational poverty. JR.

You want to have a conversation that is out of your depth.

I respect the fire. But you should put voices with more knowledge to the forefront.

You can never be taken truly seriously since you killed your mans drunk driving.

His example was just a microcosm and he recognized it

You mentioning him killing his friend is fukked up and pretty cutting

The man is making positive change and you choose to stab at him

Why? A man can't grow from his mistakes? You don't think it hurt him?

Actually it's the opposite. We have zero standards, we welcome any and all messengers regardless of their credibility
True; as long as the messenger doesn't point out anything negative that needs to change...
