I haven't even been on The Coli 6 months but im noticing some things about us (black people as a whole). I was losing hope in us as a whole (i was starting to get that 'if you aren't trying to do better then i won't help you mentality' which our people can ill afford) but my wife helped me with some of that.
We as a 'culture' are the most divided group of people on the planet. Gay people don't bicker amongst themselves as much as we do, it's disgusting. Calling each other c00n, agent, or cac when someone says something we don't like or agree with instead of having a mature discourse. Or Muslims jumping on Christians 'white Jesus' like Muhammad dudnt come from a culture of black slave ownership.
We like to talk sh*t when it's hot, but we don't like to do anything. The powers that be know that and don't take us serious because we don't take us seriously.
How many dumba$$ threads get made in here with stupid ish like: What other country do black people go to to flourish?Brehs and Brehettes the sad truth is if you can't figure out how to make moves in America then you won't be able to make it anywhere. Those threads are escape-ism, no different then when Thots run to ATL, Miami or Houston to "start over." There is No Black Utopia because there is no Utopia. Utopia on exists for the .5% who did some slimy ish to take it or for those born into it. You think Africans are going to let come over and let you flourish without someone getting some payola? "But we're all black over there, right?" then tell me why they are going to war with each other every year and commiting atrocities? People always talking about Black people coming up but don't wanna talk about a plan. This place is packed with faux revolutionaries that have former black leaders in their avi but don't want to talk about the black businesses in their area and can't/won't put anyone in here on game on how to come up. How to file copyright papers, steps to go through to form a business.
Brehs in here looking at Tariq Nasheed and Umar Johnson and Boyce Watkins to guide them when they are too undisciplined to guide themselves.
Cornballs and Complainers run deep on the Coli and when we ask em what they are doing to change things or what the plan is, they answer with Emotion or Silence....
......just like Umar.
What have YOU done breh?
you talk about people complaining yet your whole rant is a big complaint. How many questions have you personally asked (or answered) for other people on here. You want to know how to start a business? Start a thread in the root asking for the information honestly and you'll get it.
You talk about how "we as a culture are divided" yet YOU post a divisive ass thread. Have you ever thought about why YOU posted this thread instead of a positive thread?
Look in the mirror and instead of pointing the finger at everyone else, point the thumb at yourself.
there are two perspectives:
#1 - black people are so this...black people are so that...here's my thread complaining about how we are terrible...
#2 - I want to empower us because I see us slipping...what should I do? I want to bring a change...
Which perspective are you perpetuating with this thread?
