The fact Killer Mike's rules of how Black America can save itself is actually controversial speaks volumes.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

none of that will close the wealth gap.

Yes it will. Just takes a few generations. You think black folks with Master degrees had rich parents?

 

[Serious]

So people are upset because he said get an education, don’t have unexpected kids, stop trying to floss on people with money you don’t have, and just MAYBE go to trade school where you can actually make decent money rather than go to college accruing debt and coming out unsure of your job prospects?

I’m a huge proponent of what he’s saying because I already live by those principles, however, it’s also what he tries to skip or admits self defeat in that’s problematic.

I get the notion of @No1 coming to us. However the reality black people are some type of benefactor to address for the unfair advantage.

All those things don't close the racial wealth gap and don't end RWS etc etc. but we definitely have to improve on those areas.
No fukking excuses. Especially when it comes to education and the family structure. Not everyone will have money for real estate or even for stocks.

Our kids have to be better educated to have a future. In America you have to be able to provide resources for your child for them to have a chance. Especially in this crazy world of AI, gig economy, who the knows what our economy will look like in 10 years.

We had a movement to try to get specific policies for us. YALL Negroes didn't want to get on board with that. Just continue to Vote Blue No Matter Who.

The Democrats told you Negroes they wanted to give migrants sanctuary. Black talking heads told yall that being against migrants is racist and we got to love everybody.

NOW you Negroes are protesting and angry at the Democrats YALL voted for because they are bringing migrants in and are giving them all kinds of benefits.

Don't be mad now that bootstrapping is the only option we have left on the table. We blew it politically.

Who are you calling a fukking negro, FOH with that garbage

Out here sounding like uncle rukus, Clarence Thomas loving piece of shyt

You can’t even get a bytch to talk to you who are you to even open your mouth to tell people what they need to be doing

It’s about improving the community not necessarily closing the wealth gap

 

[Gritsngravy]

So people are upset because he said get an education, don’t have unexpected kids, stop trying to floss on people with money you don’t have, and just MAYBE go to trade school where you can actually make decent money (even if it’s not that glamorous) rather than go to a university where you might have fun, but you’re accruing debt and coming out unsure of your job prospects?

I interpreted as people going to college when he said further your education as well as maybe get a trade if it makes sense or you to get one

 

[bnew]

Yes it will. Just takes a few generations. You think black folks with Master degrees had rich parents?

you really advocating delaying justice for a few more generations

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

It’s about improving the community not necessarily closing the wealth gap

*handwaving poverty being the number one reason for crime*

*handwaving inflation outpacing wages so having a full time job is no guarantee of housing or food*

*handwaving not being able to properly raise ur kids because child care costs money and you need to jobs to make rent*

*lost my job? Welp better rob someone to feed my kids or even just to feed myself and keep the lights on*

I could do this all day it’s all by fukking design folks and it’s also a vicious cycle

We can mitigate a lot of our issues from an intraracial standpoint and still campaign for policy that gives us more of an equal footing economically at the same time

 

[King Jove]

nikkas still aint posting no solutions for improvement other than "vote for joe biden"

But you never see people doing this. All I see is Reagan era bootstrap ideology which only exists to cover up for structural racism and white supremacy

 

[King Poetic]

He’s right

But as usual, black people hate Reality, Accountability and responsibility

nikkas going to be on the coli in 2045 talking about reparations

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

You could vote for black progressives in ur local elections

I could do this all day: it’s all by fukking design folks

it’s not about the causes it’s about what we going to do about it, and the obvious solution for the short and long term in my opinion is better education and jobs, which means less people in poverty

Inflation is a global thing we don’t have no control over that

We need to fight for kids on the political side of the game so they are being properly funded

 

[Blessings]

theres only one step, reparations.

From a systematic level, reparations is one of the many steps.
From an individual level, Killer Mike is right.

This isn’t directed at you but typing “reparations” on your phone or computer and not actively putting in the work is pointless and ignores the reality that Killer Mike said.

Sad part is the government, white folks know "reparations" is nothing nikkas talking on Twitter and community centers.



*The question for those who disagree with Killer Mike and their response is reparations:What exactly are you doing to ensure Black Americans get the reparations they deserve? (As a Nigerian, I consider myself black American; born in America, but since I'm not ADOS/FBA I'll always advocate for ADOS/FBA getting reparations)
