i'm glad you posted this... it highlights my belief that racial hatred has absolutely nothing to do with our behaviors.... too many black people think if we act better, talk better, and just shuck and jive a little better we'll be accepted... no the fukk we won't... white people don't hate us because of our actions, it's much deeper than that....

Sometimes, shucking and jiving pays though.
Historically, the black community has always had sellouts. Even during the Civil Rights Movement, there were many rich blacks who hated MLK for "causing trouble, distrust and affecting their businesses" (catering to white folks). They were perfectly fine with the status quo. The funny thing is those folks always seek refuge in the black community once whites turn on them...
OJ Simpson suddenly saw himself as a persecuted BLACK man when he got in trouble. The same guy who used to play golf at whites-only country clubs (they told him that he was "different from other blacks"). I remember my dad hating his guts but cheering his acquittal nonetheless.
I asked him why he was cheering with us and he said: "Once those famous blacks get in trouble, white people would kick them out the curve and they'd have to come back home"
We were all cheering for Johnny Cochran though (that's what white people never understood). When OJ fukked up again, black folks simply didn't care

Funny that you say that because this period is mentioned in the book The New Jim Crow which touches on the same thing.
The more thing change the more they stay the same.

Slavery never ended it just rebranded.

During Covid I personally witnessed Florida police officers arresting homeless people because they were breaking curfew. Now it all makes sense

"Slavery shall be abolished EXCEPT as punishment for a felony" it literally didn't even rebrand. It's just there. Staring at us

This is why we can’t let the republicans take over the presidency, house and the senate. They want every state to be like Florida and Texas when it comes to minorities and women’s rights.

The United States is the only country in the world to the best of my knowledge that included it in the constitution that you become a slave once you’re arrested and imprison, think about it. Now you can understand why they do everything possible to imprison the black man.

No, not true at all. No one is forced to work in prison. Inmates with a certain record are given an opportunity to work for prison wages on their books for commissary and/or time off their sentence. If an inmate chooses not to work there is no penalty to that inmate, they just don’t get the benefits. Stop spreading lies, there are too many stupid people who believe everything you tell them.

When I try to tell people that prison is a Numbers game, it’s about how much money they get per inmate per year and they have to keep them full. They never believe me. I actually did eight years so I think I would know from the inside.

Are you dumb those aren’t your only choices….. bad life decisions put you on the street and really bad life decisions land you in prison……. And educate yourself and work for yourself make more money and gain more freedoms horrible mentality to have there. Then we have people wondering why they feel oppressed because it’s all about mind set ANYONE CAN DO ANYTHING. Yes luck has a factor but your choices are a direct consequence of your situation. (MAJORITY OF THE TIME). Homeless vets should never ever be on the street tho unless they were dishonorably discharged for some crazy thing
