Yea. You're right. The other way is better. We should've been strapping bombs to ourselves.
It's not like we'd be living behind a 100ft wall after all that trapped behind barbed wire and subject to random lynching still.
We made our progress in the court rooms and in the schools. It's not perfect, but 100 years ago you wouldn't see no Black man owning his own multi-million companies, with careers opportunities, good schools for his kids, opportunities for his children...
Oh Black people didn't do all that right? We didn't fight for it?
The reasons the back to Africa movements failed is because our ancestors WANTED what the white people had. We knew that there weren't enough of us to take it by force, so we had two choices, try to fight a war and get murked and ensure the deaths of our children, fight to be respected equally, or go back to a country none of us remembered and only knew of through stories.
We're not completely there yet, but since you can walk your kids to school without worrying about them having to leave at 12 to become sharecroppers, and you can date a white woman without getting your balls chopped off and strung up in a tree, and you can buy a house where ever the fukk you want without the KKK burning a cross on your yard and the police taking you for a "ride" because you have the wrong zip code, and you can take out a loan from a bank without getting it co-signed by a white person...
The list goes on and on.
I swear I feel like people of my generation and younger have no appreciation for how hard things were 100, 50, 40, 30 years ago. So because our people fought to give us the same lives in different ways but didn't blow people up for it, it's Stockholm Syndrome if you live in the society now and think their strategies are stupid?
