I agree, but if history is any indicator, than the projected future demographics won't be what most of us are expecting based on the predictions.

white people are not going to sit back and let Mexicans grow in such a way that will outnumber them in any substantial way, you might ask, "how are they going to stop all these Mexicans from reproducing?", and my response is, they don't have to, all they have to do is start killing Mexicans and Blacks in large quantities.

it may sound far-fetched, but I think we're headed towards genocide.

white people aren't gonna just sit back and say "well we lost, it all comes down to a numbers game and we simply don't have the numbers", they'd much rather "tailor" certain populations and maintain their majority status.

no one on planet earth will intervene because we've already been painted world wide as groups that are nothing more than a drain on society anyway, so when the killing starts, everyone around the world will simply look the other way.

"look at their crime rates" "look at their abortion rates" "look at the percentage of them on government assistance"

this shyt is a business and a LOT of money will be saved if less people were extracting money from the money pot.

You know...I understand your reasoning, but I don't think that is the blueprint.

Pre-Jim Crow oppressors would have that mentality...but after the Civil Rights movement, which eradicated the power of the "blatant, public racist", those last few remaining roaches, whose power wasn't stamped out, evolved.

How?

They, somehow, realize that physical enslavement and lynching, the way it was known before, was not feasible because the world, at least on the surface, was outraged by it.

They realized if they can make "mental slaves" out of the majority, the lemmings in the group would follow and wind up killed by their own people, or in jail. "Equal Education" was promised, yet look at the public school system in this country...it is a crime.

By not allowing sufficient education + perpetuating an environment where we glorify "violence against the next black man and misogynistic behavior towards our women" they have created an atmosphere where we do their dirty work for them, brother.

I do agree w/ what @Box Cutta said and I really believe we are in a dire situation that rivals slavery times and pre civil rights America. We are becoming Sheep w/ wool that absorbs negative culture like sponges.

An analogy that sums up our current state...

"When you place a lion in a 5 x 5 cage, that lion will feel claustrophobic & he will rattle that cage until it breaks apart however... if you place that same lion in a field, with green grass, and at the 10 square mile mark, you place a flimsy gate, which is further than he'll walk then he'll never know he's still being treated a s a slave.

Thanks breh. I've developed my articulation skill set in the last few years. The reason why it's so on point is because instead of speaking from a pedestal, I was afflicted by the same poisons breh.

I'm ashamed at how much aggression and tension I showed towards my fellow black man. Would you believe even in my last year of law school, when I would go to the hood, I would instinctively go to what I was taught w/ experience...

If another black male is staring at you, you star right back. If you bump shoulders, you don't even turn to say anything, you keep it moving even if it was your fault.

Growing up as a black boy in America, in the urban community, you learn to enter into wild west mode with your fellow brother! Let that sink in... We treat each other as threats off the bat.

I've been getting really enlightened in the last year w/ the death of my brother and certain things that have happened in my career...And I realized the shocking truth...

I was never scared of any man...much like most young black men...we aren't scared of anyone...but the terrifying thing?

We were and are scared of being perceived as "non-threatening." As if that means you're weak.

We've been killing each other because of glances, shoes being stepped on, shoulder bumps, because we've been programmed to believe any type of courtesy means we are weak.

I stopped feeling like I need to be perceived as a threat and now... I feel freer that ever, looking at every other black man and woman as my brother and sister. It is empowering. They don't know it yet, but one day I hope to be part of the newest historical movement to help us love each other again.

That's how it always goes... Some c00n says it's not so bad because he saw some humor while stereotypes are being perpetuated. I swear man I dunno :snoop:

You know... interesting you brought up the Jews. I have been an the "infant" stage with this next argument. Let me know what yall think...

If you examine the plight of the Jews, the official scapegoats of modern civilization, you see something interest. A glue that bods them all together. Specifically, after the Holocaust, many interviews of those who survived, show the survivors to have a surprising sense of "guilt." As if, "Why did I survive?" type of humbleness. They never allowed themselves to be fully comfortable in any society, and stuck with themselves while playing the Chess game of culture and upwards societal movement.

After Slavery, there was a genesis of that same mentality, with the establishment of HBCU's and such. However, after the civil rights movement, we lacked that "guilt" factor. We didn't say to ourselves, "Wow, why wasn't I lynched? Why wasn't my church blown up? I need to maintain unity w/ my people as a way to give back." We got WAY to comfortable, while progression only grew slowly.

We need to start reflecting and saying to ourselves, Wow, people have died and my grand parents were the lucky ones, I could have not even existed if not for the sacrifice." We need to start feeling that guilt and humble nature.

And it ties into those memes... We are looking at those who sacrificed and trivializing them. We need to stop and advance.
