It could be a movie or a one panel Sunday comic (there used to be this thing called a 'newspaper'.. they used to have a special comic section on Sundays.. Beetle Bailey..) to inspire Black people to do "IT".
IT
is
Getting serious and getting busy working. I don't think some kind of armed revolt is possible or necessary.
It's not about destroying all monsters on monster isand until we are the last one standing, it's about carving out your square in the jungle and holding it. That's what we have not done and the one thing that will 'save' us.
It sounds daunting, but badgers do it. Geese do it. Run up on a rat bare handed. You unarmed vs a bloodlusted rat. You can prolly kill it but you wouldn't come out clean. You wouldn't be ready to try it again later that day.
So when you see a rat on the street - even though you're 100x larger - you walk past that shyt with the quick step. You don't want them rat problems Breh. If it's in your house then you have to man up and go at it. Set a trap made of steel. Poison it. Glue paper. Buy a cat. Anything to avoid squaring up.. to a fukcing rat.
So all we'd have to do is build a nest. An enclave. A hive. Make bears and wolves (white supremacists and other haters of Black people) afraid to stick their paws inside.
Literally: work together. Trade among one another. Feed ourselves. Build our own buildings. Police our own neighborhoods. Control our own economics. Have our own security personnel. Maybe flock to one geographic area. But on some Wakanda shyt (haven't even seen the movie yet but I'm a comic guy) not on some *insert large, mostly Black American city* shyt.
All right. Enough for now. We are actually most of the way there concerning our 'saving' ourselves. The inspiration for that next step can come in the form of a song or anything. Or we could just get tired of the bottom and move up with no specific piece of art to explain it.
With all due respect, I'd say you're ignorant of history and speaking in theory.
Our history has shown us something as plain as day: that where we build and prosper, whites will come to destroy.
Today they consider the very act of any people, but most especially Black people, even attempting to break away from their influence an act of war.
Until we come to the reality that at some point in time there will be bloodshed and great loss of life then we're really just playing at trying to get free. White man didn't conquer the planet nonviolently and isn't going to relinquish his grip to anyone nonviolently.
But that's my bad. Don't wanna ruin the thread cause I'm looking forward to seeing it too, it's just that whenever we get a positive Black movie we get all serious for a second and talk about "doing better" but nothing ever changes.
