Tf happened? I remember going to stores and shyt with pops and if it was predominately non black people in the store like say Home Depot, if him and the other breh passed each other they'd lock eyes and give each other the slightest head nod. Compare that to the scowl you get walking past another black man you get in this era or them just walking past you with their eyes straight or looking down on their phones intentionally like they don't see you. Resent for another man who mirrors you is a reflection of your own self hate. Y'all get on here complain about the Joows and talk about white people this white people that, but deep down inside its pure distrust and hate running amongst our community. Whats worse if EVERYBODY else can see it every other race knows it they just either don't give af, secretly enjoy it, or profit off of it. All that BLM #endracism# equality shyt they gassed y'all up on a few years ago was nothing more then performative theatre and trendy marketing. Damn near 10,000 black men are being MURDERED annually and nobody even blinks.In one year more black men are killed in the USA then the entirety of the War in Iraq AND Afghanistan which lasted 2 decades. 20 years. If 10,000 American service member got killed in a 12 month period in a military campaign in the 21st century there would be a national uproar.No one cares unless its a celebrity. Or its some white police officer killing you then the scavengers come out looking to cash in, or the media reports on it to stir up ratings. Which pretty much validates this society gives two fukks about your existence unless you entertain them or pay them. But for a normal black man. That could be you. That be your son, nephew, uncle, best friend. And nobody cares. Y'all stay safe out there.
Remember when black men would head nod each other when passing in public areas

I don't know what part of the country you stay in but thats good to hear there's still pockets hope out there
it still happens. Some times it does sometimes it doesn't. Bm ain't on code like jews, arabs etc so you gonna get animosity from time to time. it's sad when you think about it, we already at the bottom and subjugated villians but a portion of us still let our egos and self hatred cause unnecessary rifts among us. Rather than have the mentality that we the only ones who gonna get ourselves out the bind crakkas put us in.

I feel the same way. Things were never perfect, but it felt more natural acknowledging another brotha many yrs back. Now it just seems like a lot more of us are always on edge. Especially when it comes to other BM. We can always go on and on about how the world hates us, but the contempt and animosity we have for each other is abnormal.
