Democracy is not self correcting and it doesn't seek the truth. All it looks to do is represent the majority of people. If you are feeling oppressed, voting doesn't give you a voice, it confirms your belief that you are in the minority and aren't cared about.

Voting is important because when you are in the majority, you want the polls to reflect that but trashing a guy for not voting just misses the point. Until there is an ideological change in the way people think in this country, elections will have the same results. What Colin is doing is a lot more powerful than a single ballot but the racist whites have also made their own voice heard and proclaimed that they're tired of minorities thinking that they matter.

Even with the local measures, the actual ballot doesn't really provide much description and most people are voting blindly.

I'm confused why y'all try to spin it this way. Some of y'all are always looking for the black folks hand out. Life ain't ever worked that way where some magical politician is gonna give us our 40 acres and a mule, but we can find some that will make some of this bullshyt less hard. The reason you vote for Hilary in this case is to stop us from getting fukked even harder. We stay getting passively fukked, but Trump and his people are going to actively seek us out and make sure they catch anyone they missed. They're whole shyt was saying to poor white folks that it's "those" people's fault y'all lives suck and as he makes it shyttier for them he's gonna keep pointing in our direction as to why it's going wrong for them.



What does coming up with fake statutes that were never possible have to do with not voting? I've met a few KKK folks and they ain't come at me sideways face to face and that's all that matters. Being in the KKK ain't the reason cops shooting black folks, it's because they're cool with hiring cowards that shouldn't be cops in the first place. Loretta Lynch being Attorney General would be able to punish the ones that she could or at least make them 2nd guess doing something fukked up because of the backlash. Once Guiliani is in place they don't have to 2nd guess shyt. They'll be able to be as fukked as they wanna be......don't act gimme no bullshyt like it's been terrible for us now. Go ask your grandparents how cops treated them back when they were fukking growing up. It is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better now than it was in the 60's.

Also, to the "I wouldn't vote either". Are you even American?
How are we getting fukked harder with Trump? Be specific

@NYC Rebel nikkas just throw out buzz words/phrases they've seen get a lot of daps and expect us to decipher what they're talking about

Just a whole lot of noise, but can't go any deeper than surface-level
I'm sitting here wondering "what is dude contributing or even refuting that anyone in here has said?" :mindblown:

I wrote this on my FB page about hoteps just yesterday :russ:

"The problem I have with them is they're the types that will need 20 years to pass in order to talk about the events of 11/8/16 so they can sound "deep" because they delved into the archives of our memories.

If anything, its nothing more than a mask they wear to hide what they don't know about the present day."

ANYTHING but you wanting to hear yourself believe you're saying something deep.

It had EVERYTHING to do with what you said. Blacks have stayed trying to build up themselves in America. They have been stopped each time by outside forces. The last time in the 60's/70s we saw their leaders killed/jailed/forced into exile.

The splintered state of the community can and SHOULD be directly tied to the treatment they have historically received. Every time they linked up to build and made REAL progress that threatened the establishment, they were stopped and forced to start over. So why ask "why are we like this?" when this is exactly what the adversary planned for yall to be like is all I'm saying

No you didn't. You went full Hotep drawing up our past history.

I'm not interested. You're more interested in posting your repeated bullshyt than being in the actual discussion.

Just say you're not equipped

Can't be at me. Tell me why you think that a system that originally said yall were barely HALFWAY human (3/5) and had to edit its own documents to INCLUDE you will now come save yall now that, as still hated minorities, yall "vote"? It's laughable that yall are STILL looking for cac hands to save/help yall

Yea fukk the thought of bringing up how Marcus Garvey,Malcolm, Huey Newton, stokely,and the Black panther party all being killed/jailed/exiled/stopped as proof that the establishment that people are whining about not voting for, couldn't give any less fukks about black progression. Everything has changed now right?

This IS the discussion. But you're coming at it from a "I'm too smart for you" perspective which is exactly what the hoteps you whine about do.

Exactly...hiding behind names we are ALL educated on to mask your Iack of education on the current matter.

I'm tired of hoteps hiding behind our history. As if you're teaching someone something based on your ability to recite our past greats. Talk to someone who doesn't know anything about them, but on this thread, we are talking on grassroots movements and the use of local politics. Let me know when you want to get in on that subject when you're ready to stop using Huey and them as a "I'm so deep" mask.

"y-y-you're saying fukk Huey and them" :childplease:

Please...hoteps stay abusing our past greats to steer discussion towards their lane but not the current one

Police brutality ain't "scattered" :what:
It's the same. Nothing has changed. More unarmed black people have been killed by police in the past 8 years than the 60s and 70s combined
:merchant:

Some of y'all seriously need to think before you post. The amount of smart dumb shyt going on in this thread is nauseating.

So basically, it's important to vote locally, to vote impartial reps (or reps that would likely lean towards the one you want to win), then go vote in the general election. Was this knowledge widely disseminated throughout the cities, counties and states, or was this somewhat lowkey?
In the United States this stuff is taught before you enter high school.
