He's the right messenger. Made a lot of mistakes and trying to tell the black community.

He's absolutely RIGHT.
Everyone else gets ahead and builds by POOLING RESOURCES and capital together.
Meanwhile our people are told primarily via "THA CULTURE" to be individuals and do it on your own
Brehs been called c00n so many times, we gone build on our own.

Dapped and repped.
The racist white man controls us, black men have no other choice but to kill and steal to put food on the table.
How other folks who don't see this is sad.

“The problem is our mindsets…”
“OUR MINDSET IS THE WHITE MAN’S FAULT!”
Why the fukk do I keep coming in these threads
Our mindset is the racist white man's fault. It controls us and compels us to commit crimes and do bad.
You can't and shouldn't get mad at a black man killing another black man, he can't help himself, he's indoctrinated by white supremacy.
right message wrong messenger
So people cant grow and evolve apparently.
Maybe thats part of the reason so many people are suffering.
They would rather stay rooted in their ideological quick sand than reach for high ground.
JR is not projecting a haughtiness or lacking in self awareness when discussion this issue.
He admits himself he was moving incorrectly.

A lot of people. If SGA came out tomorrow and said a lot of the same things and linked up with Haliburton and opened up a gym, everyone would be praising it.

Exactly, friend.Bullshyt no other ethnic group has been sabotaged and attacked more than black folks historically...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..
200 years of race based GENERATIONAL Chattel Slavery. 100 years of Jim Crow, Black Codes, Vagrancy Laws, Homestead Act for white Americans only, Racial Housing Covenants, Redlining, Blockbusting, 1955 Highway Commission Act, Urban Renewal, Eminent Domain, COINTELPRO, Assassinations of Black Leaders, Police Sanctioned Murder and Brutality, Convict Leasing, School to Prison Pipeline, Mass Incarceration, War on Drugs C!A flooding Black communities with drugs and military weapons, denying Foundational Black Americans Social Security the first 30 years of its existence, Debt Peonage, white Only FHA Loans and GI Bill, 1994 Crime Bill. among many other atrocities and racist policies against Foundational Black Americans.
Let us not forget about the purging, destruction, and burning down of successful Black communities by white supremacist Americans like Tulsa, Rosewood, Wilmington (NC), Omaha (NE), Springfield (IL), Corbin (KY), Columbus (TN), Elaine (AR) and etc.
Breh, it's 2023...you can open an business, work for yourself 10000 different ways, get any level of education you want, get loans, get the same services as everybody else...who exactly is holding you back or MAKING you do anything you don't want to do? I'm not denying what has happened in the past but everybody can make their own choices and do damn near anything they want.
You can follow that video and refer to nikkas as "gremlins" as dude did while talking, but all that is just an excuse at this point in time because you can literally achieve anything you work towards and it aint that hard. Yes, we are at a disadvantage but that disadvantage hasn't stopped millions of us from succeeding in this country.
Bullshyt no other ethnic group has been sabotaged and attacked more than black folks historically...
yup…and it HAS NOT stopped…full load of spit in the face of any person who tries to undermine/gloss over this or act like it’s something that collectively we should’ve gotten over/moved on from by now
