Facebook is wrong. If FB is okay with breastfeeding pages and topless movement pages, then I do not see why they should takes these women pages down.

shyt.:scust: These women are dreaming if they think Google and Facebook will listen.:picard:

White boy killed a young black man who was going to have a wonderful future in the military not too long ago. White boy belonged to a Facebook Group that promoted that shyt called the Alt-Reich and that GROUP IS STILL fukkING ACTIVE ON FACEBOOK.

I see what u really doing op

:youngsabo:

Got me drooling over here.

This nikka is pretending like he cares about this cause :stopitslime:

We all know what this is really about :comeon:

Yall a trip :russ:
Nah though I wanted to make a serious thread on this(not this topic but this group for acculturating young girls/women)

Below is a post I made in the root.... :ufdup:Do many women post in the root?


I want to make a serious post concerning the rearing of girls to become standup contributing women in society.

I.E.
a no B.S. topic...
....but I don't get the impression many coli women come to the root:jbhmm:
The salon is kinda meh :patrice: on attendance and topics :hubie:
Plenty of women frequent/contribute to the locker room but I fear the whole thread would go left by page 2:martin:

I feel like there aren't a ton of women on the Coli in general, but very few venture outside of TLR and the Salon.

The Coli is a rather hostile environment to women from my observations... but that's most true for TLR, and significantly less so for the Root, I think.


Basically people always harping on everything from men & women's relations down to feminism(which I have no prob with) but not offering alternatives for peoples problems. I call it the "atheist dilemma" whatever a person does it's done for some perceived benefit, you can't tell a person to stop doing something without offering an alternative that suits their needs.

My position is that there needs to be a mechanism for acculturating boys & girls not simply to be productive workers(k-12 & university) but to be suitable partners and community/family minded benefits to African people(diaspora + content). Then there is also the nuts & bolts group economics benefits to acculturation of the youth...

:jbhmm:



Economics
Until we end the economic dependence we are still susceptible to everything from the worker to the politician being beholden to outside funders.

Academics(spiritual/ideological)
Until we end the academic/spiritual/ideological dependence we are still susceptible to everything from the worker to the politician being beholden to outside values. As a result not (knowing what / desiring) to do things in the best interest of African peoples(continent & diaspora) with the money and wealth they do attain.

Note:
There is a reason why people who get money like floyd mayweather & Oprah Winfrey on down to local churches that manage millions of dollars; are hampered in their usefulness to the black community. Money alone doesn't guarantee that they will use it in the best interest of the black community.

Hell forget the super rich(individuals & organizations), there are millions of everyday African Americans who individually have access to thousands of dollars who don't leverage it in the best interest of the black community ...or even the best interest of their immediate extended family!


This is all before talking about the ethics of how you even got that money! That's why acculturation is a focal point, it directs you on what to value.

Military
Until we end the Military/policing/enforcement (deficiency / dependence) we are still susceptible to everything from the worker to the politician being beholden to outside threats capable of taking any gains we've acquired for our selves. This is the means by which we secure and protect everything else.


With that said I wanted to make a post on a girls/womens group similar to this as a template that acculturates the youth.
This is good because...
  • It's in english(cac Documentaries are normally in the subjects native tongue so Diasporans have a limited idea of the proceedings)
  • It's produced by African people themselves depicting what they think is important and not Europeans showing what they want
  • Great example of taking a traditional group and molding it to deal with modern problems(Folks often think culture isn't malleable and has to be reproduced exactly one way)

I figured no coli ladies would respond in the salon, no women really come to the root anyway, and I really don't trust the TLR to not dive into fukkery if @Barnett114 and crew didn't think it was inapropriate first.

So I just said fukk it and never made the thread.:francis:
When I saw they were getting their content taken down for one of the same reasons I didn't post on the coli(attire) I made this thread :yeshrug:

It too much for our culture. It should be respected. We aren't in Africa. If I'm on Facebook I don't expect to see t*ts and p*ssy or dikk.

Well I wouldn't want to see that on Facebook. Tumblr ok. Facebook or Instagram? Nah.

I .....get it :patrice:

But i don't think it's so much a case of what I, you, or others want to see(though it's definitely the impetus). I don't want to see homosexual content ...but I wouldn't block it per say(unless it was pandering to children). I simply wouldn't watch it or attend the event. At best maybe pull a China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc and simply region lock content for cultural sensitivities :jbhmm:

The issue is outright blocking of content because one people doesn't like/"approve of" another peoples culture.

The personal issue of not wanting to see a cultural display is distinct from taking the next step and blocking it. I think they have more of an issue with the block than someone not wanting to see it. They aren't pulling an LGBT move and trying to desensitize folks to their actions. They are simply attempting to reproduce/propagate their culture amongst their people.




Now with all that said, this is why I say we should have our own.
  • Africa already has a telecommunications satellite,
  • we should have our own host servers,
  • DNS systems,
  • software development,
  • and cyber security.
The extent to which we rely on others for these things is the extent to which they can restrict African peoples movement across the internet. :ufdup:

I don't think anyone would mind individual based filtering of content at all :ehh:
(probably a preferred solution actually:jbhmm: ...give it the appropriate tags and let individuals filter how they please)





Still say we should avoid the bulk of this and own our on though:hubie::ufdup:
