you obviously don't hence the 1000s of excuses instead of owning it

make no mistake, despite all of my "excuses", I'm not sitting around with my hands in my pockets, I put in work AND work with non-white youths to help improve them in areas they need help in.

I will continue detailing what the problems are because judging by what I've seen here, there are many who are completely ignorant to why Black people are in the condition we're collectively in.

You are cherry picking his argument, this is a weak tactic.
Thank you

I find it impossible: ppl see no link between this perceived notion that blacks are anti-intellectual (which isn't true) and the concepts of slavery. We were maimed for reading, could not enroll in schools and had no recourse to be represented properly by the same govt that said all men are created equal. Its like we are afraid to say; yea', your not gona away for paying me $5 for a $500 bill.

I never said that or even implied that so I don't know what you are talking about. Also if Matt dapping your post you might need to reevaluate it cause dude is beyond stupid.


:mjlol:

you've already exposed your level of intelligence or lack thereof so let's not go that route.

fair enough but when you educate make sure you emphasize that we can only help ourselves and the people who did this won't fix it it out of sympathy or because we complain.

They've already gotten away with it.

No, we don't "have the infrastructure" to make them pay us back. We'd have to get our money up. Period.

I'm the guy who refers to them as being inherently evil, it stands to reason that I don't expect them to do anything to repair our condition, I'd actually prefer that they didn't because it'd just be something else they can hold over our heads.

I will continue to complain because I'm unhappy with our collective condition and even more unhappy that I can only do so much to help change it given my limited resources. I complain to enrage other Black people and make them see shyt for what it really is because as long as they think shyt is all good, there's no incentive for them to change shyt.

What are you talking about? Everyone points out anti-intellectualism is destroying our community.

A strong mind only built through education either through school or self-study will result in a more productive member of society.

We have too many weak minded individuals walking around making dumb decisions.

Most of the dudes on this board are doing their part one person at a time, not just on Coli, but out in the community.
If you don't know what I'm talking about I don't think I can explain any better. I don't think I mentioned anti intellectualism though. I just said you can't say its getting to a point where it analysis paralysis. We know whats good and studied the playbook long enough its game time. All this its Jim Crow, whites, this ,that , and the other cool. We know the plays of the other team now lets devise a winning formula that don't mention this stuff we already know about because IMO its a time wasting mechanism. Lets collectively get down to business or I promise we just mainly keep talking generations from now it'll be these same types of discussions just on computers with hologram or some futuristic shyt lol.

That's not entirely true, but I understand the sentiment.

This convo isn't about blaming the white man for all our ills. This is; there will be no post-racial society until the present day racial society is rectified.

The govt is responsible for some of our problems, but, you're right; that's no excuse to be idle.

But, it hurts. No one calls Jewish ppl petty because they are still procescuting German Nazis for the Holocaust.

*I understand thecoli has antisemitic posters, but, that isn't the purpose of that line*

So, Why must we be constantly criticized because we hold the US govt repsonsible for slavery, Jim Crow laws and really doing the bare minimum to address it?
My thing with the Jews do you want to be like whites and others or not? That's sounds like chicks talking about being sluts on some guys do it why can't we. You remember how are parents would always ask us if they jump off a bridge will you do it too lol. Point Im making is I understand and wouldn't even say this out in public but amongst the "family" I wouldn't feel like I'm being right not telling you about your speaking on the same shyt over and over and over again. We know what the problems are are we really going to sit here as a collective for more generations harping on them seriously? That's my problem the real problem is acquiring wealth to do like other groups do and its that simple but some wanna blah, blah, blah, all life long. Its like how some people know they need to do some shyt but watch tv or some other time wasting activity to pass time when they know real shyt needs to be done. That's my problem overall. I'm about that action at least the getting money part to continue to set me and mine up for the future. I'm glad we can see eye to eye on somethings cool.

Such a statement is completely meaningless in a serious discussion about poverty. "If you don't do anything, then you won't get any where." OK - a five year old can tell you that.

Until you can prove to me that a significant part of a population's poverty is derived from something as stupid and unscientific as that, then using it as an explanation for poverty is completely unfounded in reality and should be properly be regarded as another worthless myth.

There are real, actual, testable causes and predictors of poverty and they have nothing to do with that myth.
Good thing this isn't a serious discussion on poverty maybe you posted in the wrong thread. This is about "new black" and ways people agree, disagree, kinda agree, etc about such. You believe whatever you like boss I didn't tell you to believe me. I'll continue to go by what I see and you continue to use test and other stuff that sounds good but don't tell the whole story if you so choose. I'm not trying to win no fukking debate so I don't need no charts and test to back up stuff anybody that's living can see. Usually people that are in similar circumstances have similar traits and this is one of them but again you can believe whatever you want it makes no difference.

I think there is a better way to incite change than trying to beat common sense into them. The middle and upperclass is conscious but we are disjointed. We have to take our culture back first.


Look up how much $$$ lobbyist groups throw at politicians and tell me am I lying? :comeon:

Focused on being me while getting pulled over for a profile check as we speak........

Officer asks where I'm going.......

I say home

Officer asks where have I been

I say work

Officer asks me to step out of the car with my hands present

I'm still focused on being me, trying to stay cool....(I've done nothing wrong)

Officer is still focused on ME because of his own interests......

Would I be going through this if I was a 20 year old white college girl.......?????


If not, how can you tell me not to be focused on color when obviously, the powers that be are driven by it
probably not. but how long have we known this? nothing is gonna change it so why let it continue to undermine you? Its like black folks WANT to be undermined by other races just so we can use it as an excuse for our failures. I mean look at the NBA, its like 90% black and Ive yet to hear white people complain about it, it simply is what it is. The white boys that make it to the league, I applaud them cause they dont let the facts and stats undermine them. Us black people have to adapt a new mentality. We dedicate our success, not other races.

You are still making a whole bunch of assumptions, even though we have given specifics and a clear blueprint. I can only guess you are an idiot.

Whatever makes you feel superior on the internets I'm all for it. It matters not this shyt here ain't real because where it really matters Im very far from and idiot. On here I can be whatever y'all want me to be idiot, genius, c00n, visionary, etc. I've given clear a blueprint too but I guess you rather feel important on the web so play on my man play on
