lol, no. I'm saying brainwashing isn't easily wiped away... and black people would be better off w/o white state officials and businessmen being able to act out agendas very easily because of economic backing. Black people in Detroit are forced to make slow progress..
yeah, so bottom line in your view black people in detroit cannot succeed without white people
its like you are avoiding the inevitable conclusion of your own statements
Do you feel like separation would serve us better??
i dont think it matters, black people can succed either way but we have to fix the fundamentals which are culture
just saying, some of those leaders-- u call c00ns because they practice a religion.. are some of those same people who were very positive for our community.
i dont care what religion anybody is, religion is a personal issue, it should be completely separate from race and government
but in terms of history, islam is an arab religion that engaged in the enslavement and genocide of black people
and christianity is a european religion that engaged in the enslavement and genocid of black people
if somebody tries to obfuscate those facts i find it suspicious but mostly a lot of people are unaware of those facts so i try to enlighten people about it
and i think you are putting words in my mouth, i dont call anybody c00n, ******, nikka or cac
People aren't help responsible in communities that have fukked up mentalities... and people aren't born w fukked up mentalities... obviously there are forces at play if an entire community has to deal with mental barriers that other communities don't have to deal with. I agree that everyone is responsible for their own actions.
yeah all im saying is that its something that black people have to fix ourselves
I don't attack Tucker because her viewpoint is different than mine. Bill Cosby has a different pov than my own, and I don't attack him. I don't like Tucker because she attacked more than educated. Someone like Tupac (if not shot) could have been positive for some parts of our communities. You need messages that come from different backgrounds and angles to spread similar messages effectively. I'm not gonna tell a nikka my age with no advanced degree that he can come do what I do, but I will tell him a better way to spin whatever he is doing.. and he may listen because I'm not judgmental about his current perceived options.
Quote:
sure i think tucker was an awful messenger, all im saying is that she was right and tupac was wrong, i think tupac ended up misguiding a lot of black people about what it meant to be black man, like rap music itself he had a spark when he started but he went off the rails and over the cliff in the end
i think we have to backtrack and see where we went wrong and i think were we went wrong is when we dismissed what delores tucker had to say and started listening to white people that wanted to exploit black culture and we confused the notion that we have freedom to say whatever we wanted to say with the notion that it doesnt matter what we say, but that is not true, it does matter what we say and rap music does have to be positive
You're not a sellout if you can't identify with certain segments of your community. Your a sell out if you don't understand, are detached, are overly judgmental, and would love for those people to disappear. I mean, it's not like I'm out here running the streets, I dress up daily and talk w Indians and CAC about random shyt. But I'm not detached. I'm not gonna look at something on TV and feel like some white guy created some shyt that I literally saw nikkas do 10 years ago. I don't accept corporate culture.. I just realize that that is what the enemy does and always will do. My entire point is you can't change the nature of CACs. Even before rap, every single thing about black culture was repackaged and mocked. I'm not powerful enough to affect that shyt... but we can change our culture eternally.. We can't do that with division.
im not really sure what any of this means, but like i said, i dont run away from the word elitist, i do believe in compromise but at the end of the day shyt has to be called out for what it is and we may have to separate ourselves from some people that dont want to get on the train
if people in detroit where making it rain 10 years ago, then it has to be said that its stupid and an example of financial illiteracy, how you gonna be in a black enclave surrounded by racist whites and you are using the little money you have to "making it rain", that's just stupid, and if its a part of the culture its a part of the culture that has to change
and being a a "street nikka" has to be called out for what it really is, its people that are endangering black children, terrorizing and committing crimes against black people and stopping the progress of black people overall
if calling stuff out makes me an elitist then so be it
She was ignorant of American history and ignorant about social-economic stimulants. Ignorant about rap, ignorant about urban culture.. she was also ignorant about how to effectively prompt social change (obviously). The only thing she did successfully was marginalized certain groups of blacks.. and create organizations to kill black babies.
as flawed as she was in the end what she said was correct, rap music has to be positive or else its bullshyt and should be thrown in the bushes
