What percent of the US Black population do you feel is conscious/Pro-Black

[Vilify]

No more than 20% and that's being generous

Interesting statement given the growing mixed population.

Do you think a pro-Black person with mixed kids should need to raise their kids to think of themselves as Black? Or is just raising your kids well pro Black by default?

I haven't come up with what exactly a pro black person needs to do to raise their kids, but the basics are making sure they get a good education, allowing them to figure out what they enjoy doing, and helping guide them instead of letting them be formed by the waves and tides of societies and environments that can shape your kids without actually caring about what happens to your kids.

Building is an important part of your community, and I think raising your kids/investing in the next generation is the path with most potential.

I posted a quote similar to this in another thread and was called a white supremacist. We can’t even be honest about the state of the black community, so how can it improve if you’re not conscious of your current situation?

Black community is a patriarchy, but to improve that means you need to take accountability for your current position and implement the changes yourself. Patriarchs don’t take accountability for their actions, they blame someone or something else, and they look to others to give them something, rather than go get it themselves.

Conscious is an oxymoron when applied to the black community.

Black community is not a patriarchy

Black community is not a patriarchy

I agree. I did it include the word “not” in my post, my mistake.

 

[jilla82]

what you consider pro black and what I consider pro black are two different things

I could give a damn about cant get right criminal...
I would imagine most folks wouldnt consider that pro black

 

[Vandelay]

10% give or take.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

5%

10-20%

Same percentage in each ethnic group/race/community.

You should never idealize and romanticize other ethnic groups. Regardless of ethnicity, the actual percentage of people with true racial/social/cultural/ethnic consciousness and awareness is low. I’m talking about the thinkers, doers, businessmen, lobbyists and workers. Not social media grifters and talkers. Jews marry out a lot. White folks marry out a lot, Latinos marry out a lot, Asians marry out too. Asians/ Muslims aren’t as United as you think, etc

Most people regardless of ethnicity in the world are also ignorant of their own history and the actual roots of their own culture. Repetition of tradition is not knowledge. There is no exception to the rule. A lot of people regardless of ethnicity are self haters, opportunists, individualists, traitors, assimilationists, etc as well. Western Jews in modern history (19th century to now) are a perfect example. Asian women born and raised in America too. If you read doom and gloom threads on here you would think here that everyone in the black American community is struggling, while every community in the world is thriving and flourishing culturally and economically.

Pro blackness and conscious community are responsible for the Polights, Nature Boy's, etc.

At one time it was needed, but it needs to be updated. It's creating nothing but pseudos and people who deny facts and science.

Once upon a time the conscious community was comprised of the Khalid Muhammad's, and John Henrik Clarke's and Amos Wilson's just to name a few. Serious Black people.

They are in no way responsible for clowns like Polight and Nature Boy.

Extremely low..... critically low and it's getting worse each generation.

Think of the content that today's youth consume.....nothing but mind and soul rotting poison.

Today's black youth consumes little to no media that gives them PRIDE in being black....in fact the media they DO consume tells them that it's ok to rob, shoot and kill other black people over nothing.

The main content today's youth consumes DEVALUES black lives...keep in mind that an entire generation of black people have grown up on a music genre called "drill rap"....an artform that celebrates the genocide of black people by other black people.

To become "pro-black" it takes CONSUMING POSITIVE MESSAGES & IMAGERY ABOUT YOURSELF.

Again, the main messages & imagery todays black youth are consuming of themselves is akin to a Minstrel Show.

Long gone are the days of songs like James Brown's "I'm Black And I'm Proud".....today it's "My Bootyhole Brown" & "My Choppa Hates N1GGAS"

The average black person anywhere on the planet isn't "pro black". If that was the case most black societies wouldn't be in the condition they're currently in.

'Pro black' has always been a hustle to con other back people. Another form of pimping which is black culture in a nutshell.

 

[BobbyWojak]

Ideologically? Probably 60-70%, way less if you mean people who act on it.

This ain't gon cut it....black people believe and move as a inferior race through action. The problems are internal. I know black people hate to hear it, but denial is why the reality is the way it is.
