There is no community if no one owes nothing to no one.

I've come to realize a while ago that black unity and business won't truly be a thing in our time... doesn't matter if you're 18 or 50 right now.


It'll be long after we're all gone
, hardly has a group ever been unified. And in this time we live in its toughter to have everyone buy into one belief.


As for the Thread topic

accountability is one thing and its something ados/Black americans kinda already have(i.e: c00n when someone sells out)

but some people like here on the coli and on twitter take things to extreme.

To me, you can't separate those two terms. Accountability and regulation go hand in hand.

I can hold you accountable to what you say you are going to do/contribute/ etc.

without telling you what to do :manny:

One the motivation is internal, the other is external.


If I set rules, I’m going to have rule breakers. If I find myself around people who have the same moral fiber and ethics, I can steer them when they may deviate

You can't be pro-black or pro anything collective with an individualistic / ancap / libertarian mentality.

It's a contradiction.

A community impiies a certain level ( I did not say "absolute") of watching: pocket watching, d**k watching, p***y watching, word watching, etc.

As long as its all done for a collective moral and financial goal, and not to marginalize or insult, then I'm all for it.... but that will never happen.... cause we low key dislike one another

I see where you're coming from. It seems you want to be able to decide what you're going to do as opposed to anyone telling you what to do.

My response to that is... every nation has folks that are in charge that tell others what to do. If you don't have that, then you don't have a society. All you will have is anarchy and chaos.

I’m kinda going off of OPs point and bringing it to the black community. Trying to regulate people is only going to have people unhappy. If you want a movement, you find like minded people and you get moving. Huge difference between wrangling a bunch of sheep and a stampede of buffaloes

There are a lot of, "I'm just gonna take care of me and my family" n-ggas that post here. And unfortunately, they feel that that sentiment is completely justified when the topic of improving the condition of the masses of Black people is being discussed.
I'm one of these nikkas because I know damn well our people will never come together to make shyt change. If we didn't come together with this pandemic and perfect opportunity to capitalize on the world actually paying our problems attention for once, we will never come together. And when I say come together I mean it has to be ALL OF US
