Stop derailing bruh.
Let's hope your words don't fall on deaf ears. nikkas on here think knowing about history and being (woke) is the solution. Smh at you getting only a couple daps. Ahhh well.IF YOU GONNA TROLL STAY OUT
You know, yesterday after I saw that thread on the Chicago kidnapping I told my parents we need to do our part and have more leadershipNow, it's not right when Whites comment crimes on Blacks or vice versa. Our village that we once had is gone. How I grew up is NOT the way these young kids grow up now
Yes, I'm saying people like you and I have t stand up (all jokes aside). Let's be honest, it's only gonna get worse from here.
Knowing the current climate on thecoli.....this thread will flop
What I find interesting is that whenever this topic is brought up, a lot of guys think that they're being asked to "raise" another man's kids and start talking about how they aren't gonna do that etc
They automatically think helping black youth in some way (whichever way you can) is "raising" someone.
I personally think that one of black men's biggest problems in general is that we refuse to see ourselves as a collective (who cares about or identifies with other black people), most of us are on that individualism shyt, yet we'll complain about what Latinos, Asians, cacs etc are doing together, while we scoff at the idea of linking up with other black people and creating something together to help our people. It's all about ME, ME, ME.
Even helpful advice is better than nothing. Some of these kids don't know certain programs even exist, and it's even harder if you don't have much help financially from your dad. If i couldn't get any grants or loans i probably wouldn't have even been able to get a car to get to work, or it would have taken me a long time to save to get one because i was helping my mom with the bills.
Even the other day, when i made that thread about black men building, a lot of guys kept asking me what building meant, and why we need to build etc stuff that shouldn't even need to be explained. I personally think black men aren't going to be trying to create jobs anytime soon, but i still wanted to make that thread anyway.
The reactions to helping do ANYTHING for other black people (getting defensive, refusing, etc) sort of highlights just how apathetic black men in general have become towards our own race. You can easily take a look at our communities, the successful black men take their wealth and move away to white neighborhoods and non-black men come in and start all the businesses, and don't even hire black people, in black communities across the U.S. This is one example, despite a lot of the complaining black men do about things, we really are fine with our people being the underclass and being in the position we're in. We complain but when someone suggests we put some money together and get some shyt popping, all of a sudden we don't need to do anything.
There are many black men who make it clear that they don't want to do this, and that's their choice, but those same guys should never complain about the state of black society, black women not respecting them or submitting to them, anything black youth are doing or not doing, etc. Because when you make it clear that you don't want to lead and aren't going to do anything to lead, then you can't complain about the state of black communities, economics, etc

What have you done? I'm being serious BTW. We get a ton of keyboard activists on this site...but what have you specifically done other than start online chatter. I don't mean ANY of this with any malice. I know you bring up good issues and want to see a change.
I've been a part of the Big Brother program for 5 years in my city, I've helped one kid get a college scholarship, cleaned up graffiti and picked up trash in the worst part of my city, and tried to be a positive influence. IF you aren't actually DOING things (if you are then), then my advice is to take time this weekend (if not today) to go out and do something and then tell us how it's going. Otherwise it falls on deaf ears.
I think OP has mentioned what he's done and is doing before, and i can't say anything negative about these threads regardless of who starts them because they balance out all the "fun" threads. There are plenty of rap, sports, and p*ssy threads on here, they outnumber the threads about doing something for other black people, and they always will. A few of these compared to countless threads about what some rapper said on IG, how many points somebody scored, hoes etc
Me personally, things that i wish someone had told me about or helped with in some way, i went back and did for other people. For example no black man had ever given me a job or even an internship, and this was the same case for other guys my age, so i decided that as soon as i was able to, i was going to start a business and hire other black people. This type of stuff are things that black men should have been and currently should be doing for black people but aren't concerned with for the most part, even those who are unable to do that could still be doing more than what they are. When i talk about black men employing black people, nikkas act like i'm talking about some outlandish, crazy shyt that they can't even fathom. And they'll complain about what black women, black kids, white men, mexican men, asian men etc basically everybody else is doing or not doing but refuse to look in the mirror at what black men need to do.
I definitely didn't mean to say it's a BAD idea for a thread... I
@JudgeJoeGorilla for what he is doingmy initial statement was saying "ARE you doing anything or are you just talking" but I have nothing for respect for anyone pushing an agenda forward.
You can sign up and be a big brother, mentor. Help out coaching q team help with resumes. Be a jail pen pal
Instead long diatribes and do nothing
