shyt yall let them take the N-word which meant black in latin and turn it into a "negative" word against yall. They took your land. They took you. So why cant a black man start witih babysteps and take back by saying this "flag" or word is not going to be used to hurt me anymore?

I mean you :scust: at it but you was probably in school pledging allegiance to the American flag as if it wasnt used in the same way :mjlol:

Nobody said shyt about that till Kapernick....

What CACs think about black people is what determines whether you get accepted into college, whether you get approved for a home loan, whether or not the state decides if your community should have clean water, and whether the cops murder you for selling cigarettes.Racism isn't just some personal opinion that doesn't effect you.

Doesnt asking them to stop get old though? How did the guys in Tulsa back in the 20's (for one example) provide all those things for themselves but in this day in with all the information available that they probably didnt even have, we're looking to cacs to provide us those things?

Who said anything about "asking them to stop"? I'm telling you that you should care and you should do something about it. Just dismissing everything anybody says or does like it doesn't matter is the reason why the Tulsa race riots had to happen in the first place.
And they didn't provide everything for themselves in the first place. They had shyt second-rate schools, shyt housing, shyt medical facilities, and little to no hope for any kind of future for themselves. Tulsa was not some black mecca. Tulsa is what happens when desperation boils over into violence because structural discrimination materially makes peoples' lives worse.

Nah breh, Im black but once I understood that the N word came from the Latin word Niger (black) I took it back. I understood that they took a word that was commonly used for a color, by even people who looked like me, and turned it into something negative. :manny:

As far as the flag issue, brehs all around are draped in polo with flags of UK, France, USA, Germany, but wanna stop the buck at the Confederate flags. Its as if all these countries werent oppressing people who looked like them around the world just as they say the confederate flag :patrice:


I repeated my argument because thats what it should be about. Everything I said is solid but you want to bring it to a "who's black" contest....

Can one other race be named that takes a disrespectful ethnic slur and "takes it back"? Is there really really a value in taking back garbage? The confederate flag is a flag of traitors to this nation but almost nobody wearing memorabilia or flying one even thinks about it like that It's just people literally doing something they see other people doing.

So you saying if cacs didnt decide to end slavery mfs would have and should have just been slaves up until this day?

That's basically yall mentality to be quite honest.

There were nikkas rising up both violently and non violently. There was no be a slave or cease to exist. The most read story to slaves was exodus for christs sake. I dont blame my ancestors for choosing to be a slave, the risk of freedom for most was far to high. But fact is, they chose it. Atleast the ones that understood freedom should be a possibility for them. Nothing wrong with admitting that.
nikka what??? Negged.


It’s abrasive but to a degree it’s true - would you rather be a slave or die?? Sh!tty choice but a choice.

If they brought back slavery today would you be a slave or die trying to fight or escape??

U was saying "yall" like u not black. As far as the n word issue. I know the origins. And it goes even deeper than even the Latin definition. None of it is what white people made it to be tho. So I get that. As far as the Confederate flag. I COMPLETELY disagree. That flag represents NOTHING but negative for black people.

Muthafukka slavery lasted for GENERATIONS. PLENTY of slaves died and got maimed, killed, raped etc trying to be free. There was slaves literally jumping to their deaths off the ships. U need to understand the dynamics of slavery before u start spewing off this nonsense. Its WAY more to it than just "live or die". Smh. U need to understand the difference between 1st generation slaves and 10th generation slaves before we have this conversation.
