So i just knocked my tap dancing c00n ass brother out... Here's why

[Losttribe]

c00n shyt like what? What can he say that you can't refute with facts?

He's not trying to hear facts, imo.

He disses black people and generalizes us. Doesn't understand the social and economic situations that causes some of our ignorant behavior. Me and him both have never been ignorant so he can't understand why other black people in Detroit act a certain way. He doesn’t understand our struggle, as a people. Plus he only likes Light skin girls.


I guess i havent said shyt because I don't wanna smack him up...

 

[wickedsm]

Why didn't the OP use this reasoning when he was living foul and putting his family through hell by gang banging, selling drugs and breaking into people's homes, I'm sure these things made his mother cry, why didn't he use violence against himself?

So your point is that if you were ever wrong or did wrong that means your opinion is forever void?

You keep bringing up op's past to berate him, make another thread if he's not suitably redeemed or apologetic enough for you.

I don't believe you've once offered any advice on how to change younger brothers c00n mindset which is also extremely dangerous.

We get it. You think op ain't shyt and you're better.

Why would you smack him up? That's an unnecessary response. If he's black start there. He can't generalize himself or you since you're intelligent. You may have to give him examples using yourself and him "You claim black folks are ignorant, but we aren't and statically speaking we can't be the only ones." Have you asked him where his beliefs stem from?

Also if OP believes what he did was right why did he immediately leave? At least explain your actions. Stand by them. A talk could have been had that day and you might have actually resolved something.

 

[Neuromancer]

Some of yall really gotta find easier way to communicate your thoughts even with people who have viewpoints you hate

Thanks for the drop.

 

[scarlxrd]

Wow. I can't say I'd pop him but I can't down you for doing so. To me, he needs to be excommunicated. I mean, as soon as he's "of age" he seems like he's gone anyway.

An ass beating won't change his mind. He needs to be around the people he's elevated to see they aren't shyt with his own two eyes.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

OP needs to have a sit down with his brother and apologize for hitting him and neglecting him. He needs to let him know as a black man he has to grow and mature from where he's at now. Like the OP was a couple of years back, he's at a dangerous crossroads. Dude needs to let his brother know that where he's at now and how he views things now isn't static and can be improved and he can use his own redemption as an example. He needs to let his brother know why it's wrong to shyt on black women in front of other black women. Even if he has a point there's a time and place for that. It's not to be discussed around other black women or non blacks period. You need to read and watch some documentaries with him. You need to expose him to real politics and not talking points. Go to a university library and park him in the AA studies section. Then politics. Then world history. Don't have him watch some bullshyt YouTube "scholar." You're going to have to have positive interactions with your brother. You've been looking down on him for some time now and that has to change.

 

[scarlxrd]

You played right into his interpretation of reality. He's like an ostrich burrying its head in the sand and you gave him more reason to. Obviously he's immature, but your actions did nothing but reinforce his outloom. Funny too how you mentioned that he never criticized you despite his judgement of other brehs for similar behavior. Perhaps he loves you? Or maybe thats past tense now......

Goddamn... Said it better than I ever could. especially that last bit

 

[IAmGettingAMailOrderBride]

If you ever did wrong, don't expect people who witnessed your wrong doing to later view you as a moral compass or value your opinions.

I'm bringing up the Op's past because it's very relevant to why he's unable to communicate with his little brother, if the OP was someone his little brother respected and valued the opinions of, the situation wouldn't have escalated to the point that it did but given the OP's terrible past of gang banging, selling drugs and breaking into people's homes, the little brother has a difficult time putting any stock into what he has to say.

From the little brother's perspective, the OP is using white supremacy as a scapegoat because the little brother is smart enough to make basic comparisons:

My brother sold drugs and got into trouble with the law, I've never sold drugs and I've never had any trouble with the law and we both grew up in the exact same household.
​

In the little brother's mind, white supremacy doesn't even factor into that equation, it'd make more sense to attribute the difference between he and his brother to personal decisions and not white supremacy.

As far as advice goes, in my opinion, there's nothing the OP can do to change his brothers opinions, especially after hitting him because the OP couldn't control himself, thus reinforcing preconceived notions about people like his brother, people who solve problems with violence.

Also @Zoovier, could it not be said that you were given the benefit of the doubt when you were young by your folks and family? Wouldn’t you be able to extend that same benefit of doubt to him since he is young?

 

[Dr. Acula]

Outside of emotional satisfaction you received in the moment, this won't do much to fix the situation. Now If you only wanted to be emotionally satisfied by taking your anger out on him then God speed

lol do you know where you are?

you're on a site that will coddle and defend people that terrorize neighborhoods because they're black but then throw the 'they're black' shyt out of the window when it comes to dealing with the c00ns.

This doesn't make sense. You're telling me when presented with new information you don’t analyze it to consider whether or not it's true? Anyone's opinions can change when presented with the right information in the correct way.

I don't know about all that. I'm talking blood to blood, brother to brother. fukk what a forum says.
