What made The Coli become so "militant" and "radical"?

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Nah. Y'all nikkas just wannabe Black Panthers. Take it. Own it. I'm black. I grew up in the hood. I went to an HBCU. My family black. My friends black. My church black. Most of my girlfriends been black. Even my barbershop black. I never seen so much race talk until I came on here. Sure, we talk about white people irl and the dumb shyt they be on. But that's not the ONLY thing we talk about. Like at my barbershop, my last cut, we was watching Hidden Colors 3, but we was talking about whatever dumb shyt that day. What y'all be on, its not normal. Black Israelites are not normal. Five percenters are not normal. The Muslim with the bow tie selling beanpies is not normal. In real life, the average black person ain't try hear that shyt 24/7. When a black kid gets murdered, let's talk about it. But not 395 days a year. Y'all nikkas don't even sound like y'all have fun.

@J-Nice said it perfectly...Black people wanna have fun and joke and and not take things seriously and then wonder why other people don't take us seriously....

The fact you had to throw black muslims, Hebrew israelites, and five percenters under the bus really shows how much they "embarass" you or how much you don't like them. If you actually researched them, or how they came about, you would have more appreciation for them as a black person and you would be able to appreciate your unique heritage and understand the world around you...even if you don't agree with what they say 100%.

It seems like your one of those black people that low key resents other black people cause we don't act like the way you would want us to act or aren't afraid to discuss race and issues of racism as minorities in America. It seems that you're somewhat ashamed of black people who don't act or think like you. It seems you have problems with your own blackness if that is the case and if so...I feel bad for you.

No. I said Black Israelities because 99% of people in real life think they're ridiculous.

You think black pride is hating everyone else, being racist and offensive to everyone because hey, that's what white people do, right. To me black pride is just loving black people more than everyone else. You don't need to walk around like those guys in the picture And you don't need to act like you're fighting some civil rights battle everyday Whatever though. You do what works for you. Stop quoting me and giving your bargain basement psych evaluations.

This was a good read.
The black posters handled themselves well with intelligent and thoughtful post.

I read every single post in this thread.

This site has hardly become militant (militancy implies action). And it definitely isn't st0rmfr0nt. That's an overreach.

But to take it back to the militant angle, we are living in a time where Black people need to become more informed on racial matters and more active in dealing with them. Raising awareness, which is how I view most of the dialogue that goes on here, is a key 1st step to fighting anything. I actually hope the members on this site are moving along the spectrum of awakening and actually seeing the world through the different lenses of increased awareness. At some point, I'm hopeful that we'll get to a point of actions.

I've already addressed this in another thread, so I'm not gonna repeat myself too much. Somebody @ me when y'all wanna discuss tangible actions offline.
