I tried explaining what's going on to my mother and older sister as they were watching the coverage on CNN as I came back home just 15 minutes ago. I tried telling them that this was an act of war being declared on black people, this was meant to quell any black people wanting justice, this was done to protect a corrupt system etc etc...they barely looked at me and were talking about charles manson getting married behindbars then proceeded to watch some f*cking CAC movie.
I'm literally disgusted at them right now. Some people just don't want to get it. They thought I was joking. F8ck em. I hate to say that cause they my fam, but seriously, they just don't even take this seriously and it's sad. Especially if you're black, you can't afford not take it seriously. I hate to say this as well...they on that c00n shyt. Can't tell em nothing.
Alot of white people have really shown their true colors in this situation mayne...
When this is done, the racial dynamic is going to change for the worse.
My thing is...what are black entertainers gonna do when the shyt hits the fan? Are they going to throw up that black fist and potentially lose millions in ad dollars, sponsorhships and white fans or are they just going to say silent and say some dumb shyt like "we are all one" "humanity has no color" or some other empty meaningless platitude?
It's time to stop supporting these fools too...

I heard this before. Did this REALLY happen?that's when the cops let their dogs piss on mikes vigil.,.
I agree. It's sad and surprising, cause straight up they lived through and saw white people at their absolute worst. I would expect the majority of older black folks to tell it like it is, but alot of them be on that "don't get mad at white people" subservient BS. I think alot of them just side with the man simply because of their own frustrations with the younger generations of black people...as if somehow if we stopped saying "yo" and stopped saggin our pants we'd somehow would escape police brutality and racial discrimination.I find myself facing the same frustrations especially with older Black people. They don't even blink. Or if they do add any input to the story it's in complete favor of law enforcement.
So many older Blacks are just completely lost. Sadly.

Self defeatist? I'm realistic, while you're dealing in fantasy, believing cacs will just come to their senses and leave us alone if we build wealth in our community with cac dollars. You want to play by their rules and hope for the best. Safe ass negros like you are a detriment to the struggle. You mean well, but your approach is a proven failure.You can be a self-defeatist if you want. History has shown us repeatedly what minority groups need to do to get ahead. Stop being a victim of your inferiority complex.
Black America is NOT restricted in terms of amount of capital it can amass. Our community continues to gain more and more money with each passing generation. There are more black millionaires today than ever before. There are also more black-owned businesses than ever before. The problem is that we don't keep our money. If we had practiced group economics since the 70s, we'd be in a much better position financially and, more importantly, we'd be wielding our wealth into power and could implement change that's favorable to our community.
Now, granted we tried that before with Black Wall Street. But when that was nixed, we should've stuck to the script and kept building. Like the Jews and Asians, we should've continued practicing group economics in the face of racism and vigilantism.
Anyone else find it perplexing how a black ISIS has not popped off yet?
It's crazy when you think about it.. not even anything close to the level of the Black Panthers has popped off since them.
so you saying blood need to be spilled?If you are about standing up for what you believe in and making a change and be part of something histroic and that will be talked about for the new few decades YES go down there
If you are not physically/mentally prepared to be arrested,shot at, hit with rubber bullets, tear gassed, tazed , left in jail for a day and the consequence this will have on your future DONT go down there.
