Props to you for trying to educate him but your friend sounds like a complete idiot
Unless he's a day 1 breh you should re-evaluate your social circle...again no hate.
Breh want you to open books and read for him but disregard what you have to say
My boy is 37 and black. To be honest he's soft as baby shyt. Nice guy but kinda c00ns it up to get by. I can't say it's his fault . His older bro had a full ride football scholarship and got paralyzed during thanksgiving break of his freshman year in college so since then he and his mom and dad have had to provide 24/7 care for him. Considering my boy was in early HS at the time and his pops passed a couple years later , he's generally lived a very sheltered life. His parents are both from Nigeria. He was born here.
He's just uneducated on American black history and somewhat lacks true understanding of being black in america. He went to high school and a little community college but that's it . He really doesn't know anything about being black except for just living and being black. The only black people he knows of historically are the ones white people want us to know about .the nikka that invented peanut butter, Dr king, and Obama.
I was talking from knowledge but also reinforcing what I was saying with references. And putting him on. I keep telling him stop watching the news and sports and read, learn about black people from black people , understand what it means to be black in america. He's receptive, some people aren't. We also work together too so even though he's the big homie I kind of little brother him to put him on so he stops seeing and taking the world at face value.
Another thing I did was I showed him my gun. I disassembled it. (Removed the slide, spring and barrel). And laid the pieces out and I showed him how easy it is to clean a gun. Just put cleaner in the parts put them back together .it's only 4 pieces so it's not a very cumbersome task. It's not difficult or confusing or dangerous. So with the four pieces on the table I showed him a headline 'man accidently killed when gun discharged during cleaning' and I said "
Now you look at these pieces of the gun, and now that you understand the process, tell me where the danger is and how this dude killed himself."
He looked at the pieces and was like "the guy did something wrong." And I said "exactly, but before you were just shown the pieces of a gun you probably took the headline at face value and assume guns are dangerous and they accidently discharge and shyt."
I try reach out to him and others in different ways, whether video, books, audio, or physical demonstration. Anytime you can use one and reinforce without the other you can get your point across.
Im explaining to him how he has to learn to deprogram. Because the same forces are used whether to support or oppose whatever the topic is. I showed him Law 40 - despise the free lunch. I broke down his interactions at the Primerica convention in ATL and how they fitted in completely.
He's learning, he's still green. He's got to scar up a little bit.

So bitconnect was the latest scam that fell apart. I gotta catch up on YouTube.
