[KOOL_G_TRAP]

[TheBeigeBomber]

yes I own a shop in a black community

and it's election time

I do all campaign materials

4 years ago, 80% of the candidates went to white businesses

so this year, I decided to be smart

as soon as the ballot came out, I got a copy of it and called up everybody that was running for office

and basically told them that I can take care of all their campaign material needs and I gave them my sales pitch

one guy flat out told me that the only way he'd do business with me is if I give him a really good deal

I know he ain't going to the white folks telling them that

how did you start your own business? do you live off it? i dont want to work for another man for the rest of my life.

truest statement...confused/sad negros

Why you didnt bold this part of his post?

but you the same nikka that wont support black businesses in real life.

 

[Blackout]

All I'm saying is our problems are real

Why aren't we willing to have a real conversation about it without getting mad at each other?

What state is your business in?

[wet landscapes]

@2Quik4UHoes did the same thing. He went on a rant about "militants" and made it into a complaint about how people won't support his business. What kind of backwards thinking is that?

what is "excessive"?

if the problem is here, has been here for generations and ppl doing this sweet talk and sugary coating of it hasn't fixed it yet:

then maybe it's time for some excessive stuff

I think everyone regardless of ethnicity should have some sort of self analysis/criticism


Too many of us go around thinking we're super perfect and God's gift to the Earth


We gotta learn to humble ourselves, critique ourselves and not shy away from existential thoughts.

 

[Luke Cage]

we've seen this over and over again.

Every single time someone comes and speaks on the truth regarding the reality of what's happening in the black community right now, instead of us looking at it and deciding to make a change:

we instead get mad and upset.

what's that about?

The only thing that bothers me is the constant use of "WE".

why are we not educated. I am
why are we in jail. I am not.
etc.

predominantly black part of the country

True but we are not monolithic.
