Lyndon B. Johnson was the GOAT president for Black people

[Samori Toure]

I hear you but as crazy as it sounds, if Lincoln hadnt stood on business and was willing to go to war, these devils would have tried to keep us in slavery longer.

Passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968

Passed the Voting Rights of 1965

Created Medicaid and Medicare

Established Affirmative Action as policy

Declared war on poverty and passed the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and Elementary and Higher Education Acts of 1965

Passed the Immigration Act of 1965, which allowed millions of Black immigrants to come into the country. My family wouldn't have been able to come to America from Nigeria without this law

Put Thurgood Marshall in the Supreme Court

It seems like LBJ done the most for brehs and his legacy continue on to this day

Ulysses S. Grant was by far the greatest President for Black people. Enforced the 14th amendment. Passed the 15th amendment. Established the Department of Justice to enforce Black people voting rights. Crushed the Ku Klux Klan. Proposed Civil Right Act in 1870 that did not pass, but was later passed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 and 1965 almost completely in tact to what Grant had proposed in 1870.

Oh yeah even before he was even President he was giving country Bama crackas that work.

Nah. Didn't say you should stop trying to save the world, just that it's goofy. And if you want my "advice" on what to do instead, I already stated on what, but I know it already has and will go through yours and other negroes ears.

So, I leave it up to God to help those gain an understanding of what's the real problem and how to go about it.

Have a good one. I'm done.

But you're saying that God gave you an understanding of what to do.... but... you're not doing it.



Sounds like He wasted time making you understand something

 

[King_Kamala61]

The Civil Rights Act did more for Nigerian Americans, such as yourself.

Many of these policies are still anti-black and coded in ways that oppress Black Americans.

Look into CRT before speaking so openly about a racist CAC who cared more about his political career than anything remotely related to black people.

Those recordingsthat Texas drawl with "-er"...

Leave it in God's hands.

Faith without works is dead.

 

[TripleAgent]

Leave it in God's hands.

Looking for "justice" is pointless and doing nothing. You're either in power or you're not. So, it's more productive to gain power and be ready to be in power once this current society crumbles. And to gain power, you need a proper culture where you and your own always come first, along with a set way to live that everyone follows and respects.

But most people want "justice" and "equality," so I do my own thing and leave it to God.

It's up to God whoever gets it or not.

250 years of breeding and brainwashing is a LOT. This is the mentality that has use thinking the white man's ice is colder and willing to accept the benign neglect and tricknology. You sound like Big Mama.

Business decisions that happen to fall your way doesn't mean they were designed for you. Especially when you have absolutely no ownership stake in said business, much less any say in how the business is run.

And no, a claim isn't an ownership stake, no matter how moral nor valid. Refusal to understand the difference is simply posturing.

Well said

You tie a belief of God and his power to the white man and slavery.


Go kick rocks.

The religion the slavers gave you has you rocked to sleep 400 years later. Harriet would have shot you.

The white man will never find you equal or give you "justice". So get up and find another paramour to chase after.

I still maintain black folks today are privileged minded if they are out here thinking we have it worse than our ancestors. shyt is borderline disrespectful. Talk to your grandparents or people who grew up back then what they had to endure and trust, they will tell you stories of shyt that would make modern folks shake their heads.

What you mentioned in the Second paragraph is a luxurious problem compared to what our ancestors had to face. There weren't even any sort of discussions about reparations even being entertained outside of a select few revolutionary (for the time) minded black folks. Not saying shyt is great but things have improved in some areas for us compared to what our grandparents and folks before them had to deal with. These are just the facts.

Not against talking about current issues but whenever I see shyt like the above, I get a bit agitated. I often see college aged black folks who are way better off than our ancestors saying this shyt and also spouting off disrespectful shyt like "we aren't our ancestors" despite the fact our ancestors fought and died for some of the rights we have today. Spoiled as fukk. This while they got an expensive college education, posting on Twitter form the newest iPhone, and well fed and well dressed spouting this shyt. Just rubs me the wrong way personally.

My grandparents actually said they think I had it tougher than them because of all the drugs, gangbanging and whatnot. But I grew up lower middle class just like them. Maybe if you grew up in a higher social class than your grandparents this is true.

Woodrow Wilson says hold my beer

We’ve had some truly trash ones:
-Warren Harding having liquor parties in the White House during prohibition
-Iran Contra Crack AIDS Reagan
-Herbert Hoover fukked the bag up for everybody
-growing up under both the Bushes was bad but wait until all the Trump shyt comes out

With nikkas like you cowering to their imaginary sky daddy holding us back? Probably not.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

nvm

I'm MAGA too but are you telling me the civil rights act did nothing for us? Absolutely nothing?

"I'm MAGA too"

Man that's disappointing to hear. I thought it was one way but its the other way..

The black-white economic divide is as wide as it was in 1968​

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/06/04/economic-divide-black-households/

Economic gap is different than relative, to pre civil rights era, total wealth. Because, if the quality of life and incomes of both whites and black have risen, but the percentage difference between the two hasn't changed, not good but that doesn't answer if the economic situation of modern black folks is better than pre civil rights. A better comparison would be, adjusting for inflation, compare the wealth of an average black American to that of a precivil rights Black American. That is the related comparison for this discussion. I'll be shocked to find out if modern black folks, relative to pre-civil rights era blacks, have worse economic incomes.

Also this is one data point. There is an easy thought experiment to gauge if people are serious or just bullshytting and talking. Ask them if they had the power to do so, would they rather travel back in time to pre-civil rights era as a black person in say Tennessee and live there VS now. I have a feeling a lot of people knowing what life was like pre-civil rights movement will opt to stay put. Because, they know their quality of life back then would be worse.

P. S. The article is pay walled. Can't read it. But if there are any sections you feel I should read, let me know. I actually wanted to read it. I just read the first paragraph or so until they blocked me.
