Have dignity.
Breh I would have pretended cried, went to HR, got him fired and then got my bag. Only thing they understand is fukking up their money.
I honestly think we have some great minds on here and I wonder why we as a group of professional blacks (Ados non-ados it dont matter) have never started a legit group/movement with so many great people on here
Man this kills me so much, there is DEFINITELY potential in the community to get a major movement started. The truth is that 90% of the folk who got the skills/demeanor/insight to take the lead in such a movement are the ones with real jobs who are too worried about fukking up their money. The only way any real change is going to happen in this country is by taking the economy hostage from them, and if that happens then the community will have to be willing to suffer longer than they are willing to. That's the only way it will work.
I've studied this shyt and I know what it will take. 1/4 of the Black community could do it. Even less than that if there were non-Black allies involved, but it would take about 10 million people who were willing to commit completely to the shared objective. Just 10 million people could overthrow White Supremacy if they were willing to act.
You wouldn't even have to start with 10 million, you could start way smaller and then build up. I got some ideas for opening salvos, target a few of the worst small city governments that are particularly vulnerable. If you commit to a concrete goal, get a movement going, stay disciplined, stay nonviolent, and show that you're willing to take drastic action until your objectives are met, then you will draw people in. You just have to make it work somewhere first, and that takes commitment and discipline.
What specifically do you have in mind? A "movement" is a Coli buzzword. What in particular is the goal? The reason I believe people here don't band together to do anything is there is never an idea presented with actual direction, planning, goals, or leadership.
As a first step, we'd end all non-crime related police harassment. There are too many departments who treat poor Black folk like a revenue stream. A lot of the shyt they do is unconstitutional but no one do anything. Put an end to revenue-building through fines, an end to racial profiling, an end to stop-and-frisk and every similar policy (it sure as hell ain't just NYC on that wave) where certain folk are targeted without being the suspects in any particular crime.
I know how to do it.
It's just one step, but in the municipalities where Black folk are a majority and yet the departments have been blatant with the mistreatment (like Ferguson), it's an almost guaranteed win so long as there's solidarity. And once we started picking up W's there'd be more people willing to take the next step. At some point once you piled up enough bodies you'd start getting proactive moves by other spots that didn't want to be next on the Summer Jam Screen. Whole states would make moves at some point, and then federal action.
Get the cops restrained, show people what they can do, and then we'd fix the school districts next. Desegregate both students and resources.
But folk too comfortable for all that right now.
