[thekingsmen]

word.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Any mention of that demon, the demonic queen victoria?

 

[Sinnerman]

not to mention corporations are investing in private prisons now. so you know shyt is real

 

[theworldismine13]

It's not slavery because people participate in their own free will

So it's an awful analogy that doesn't lend itself to addressing the real problem which is culture

I see what you're saying, but at the end of the day, a good number of brothers are being wrongfully profiled and catching bs charges off a dimebag. Secondary to folks getting imprisoned off drugs, dudes is catching cases off assault and guns/child support.

The fact of the matter is that black men are getting railroaded into prisons, despite the charges being minor for other races. Also, that this prison system is in place from the moment we're born. Our families have been broken up by design in the 60's and 70's, while our schools receive little resources and we get beaten down on a daily basis through the media. Not to mention, it's rough to get employed as black man and certainly "make it"(not saying it's impossible by any stretch), so all things considered it's easy to see why a substantial amount of us fall victim to this cycle. I'm not saying this is as bad slavery, however this prison industrial complex is certainly slavery for the modern era.

You truly have no clue what you speak of...I advise you to keep your mouth shut on this topic.

Yeah but at the end of the day it's about personal responsibility and culture, a lot of those problems you mentioned are self inflicted or exist because of lack of organization within our community, it's important to realize that black people can stop the prison industrial complex simply by not participating in it, if you start believing a fantasy that you or we have no control over it that makes it harder to fix

Ultimately we need to find out how to recreate black wall streets all over the country, because bws existed in an even worse environment

Attacking a 16 year old about personal responsibility when every centimeter of his brain has been culturally fu**ed since he was 3.. is ignorant. That is essentially what you are doing.

I've lived in places where people simply couldn't afford to "organize", fix mentalities, and for the most part where simply unaware of political and corporate corruption, private prison industries, the fake war on drugs And the overall system that they are playing the part of pawn and puppet in.

Most of my neighbors growing up couldn't even afford to have a "victim mentality" ... they were just playin the cards they were dealt trying to survive.

A brother who's educated can do to things:
look down on his own community
or look disgustedly at the system that benefits off the brainwashing, degradation, and ignorance of a people who are in that environment, because of that systems predecessor. .

"Ultimately we need to find out how to recreate black wall streets all over the country, because bws existed in an even worse environment"
Will never happen until we stop looking down on ourselves. Those black wall streets were created by problack, not as brain washed people who didn't have overlapping systems working against them. Plus crack wasn't around.

I actually have that book. It's a good read. I'm all for personal responsibility, but here's what I've seen growing up countless times....

Inner city. Moms pregnant as a teen. No pops around. Good kid, good grades. Becomes a teen. Sees hustling all around his block. His friends hustle. Influenced by friends. Starts smoking & selling weed. Gets knocked by the hook. Does a few months. Loses interest in school. Mom ratchet, still dating - random n!ggas in and out the house. Anger and angst comes. Back to slangin. Friend gets murdered. Tools up. Busted for gun possession. Does time. Comes out. Inner city. Back home. Poor resources. Father's a child. Cant find work - poor economy. Got an interview. Company refuses to hire a felon. Election coming - cant vote. Little to no skills. College app? "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?". Baby moms trippin. Needs to feed the baby. Stressed out. Hollas at his connect. Busted for intent to distribute... The cycle continues...

This is the truth...

If I remember correctly, the C.I.A. brought crack into the lower income districts to wipe out the Black Panther Party in Oakland.
