And somehow come together

Gotcha.

Well, I tell you what, I'm not against group think, but I am against joining a collective cats I'm not on the same wavelength with. That's a recipe for disaster. And I swear every conscious collective I've experienced has internal beef . . . . just like the black church.

The article mentioned the Hotepers. I think it's important to learn about Ancient Egypt as a part of Black History, because IT IS. Truth is, Blacks in America had their culture ripped away, so we've lost connection. Many of us just want to reclaim it. And further, West Africans are descendants of Kemet.
What I can't understand is why is EGYPT such a focus when the majority of us here are more directly descended from West Africans but that history is JUST NOW being able to be put together.

Shit baffled me before I even had a context for the community.

Like...the sh!t really bothers me to the point of anger...and I am not the quickes to do so...
I'm interested in seeing this same author put together a list of 5 types of conscious people you should build with.
You clownin'...
Good article.

Here comes the HOTEPer :lol:
I'm dying......
I have questions

What's this group thing about? is that being concerned and taking care of your community? helping ur own kind?

What is the box? is the box helping your fellow black people?

What is a BOX? How is it being used here?
And great questions they are...
This is some ignorant shit. West Africans can't claim Egypt, yet white people can claim the science, the religion, the architecture, mathematics from Egypt?

Straight separation tactics.
Man, you don't know the half...
Context of racism/white supremacy!
I'm weak....I'M WEAK....I'M SO WEAK!:lol::lol::lol:

Again, people missing the point.


I haven't been in too many debates with these groups but when I do, they tend to want to tear you down for the most ridiculous shit, on some "Why you listen to rock!? The DEVILS music, what kinda black man are you!?". LOL

It has nothing to do with not recognizing your worth as a Black American or not getting involved with black matters, you can see the writers other articles. This article is tagged as "Humor" as well, but it's no surprise that so many of y'all are immediately taking offense without thinking first. Yes there's moments of seriousness but the settle jabs aren't really meant to be taken much more sense than the clips posted in the article.​

in order to build you must have like minded builders to join you in building. Some are strong and areas where you are weak, some are equal to you in other ways, some you are strong here they are weak. we have to gather because without it we r not together. But, there cannot be a fight for power which is the hardest task to accomplish. Everybody wants two be a chief and nobody wants to be in an Indian

The Regurgitator

This person in incapable of forming an original thought. They are just happy to be a part of something. They simply regurgitate information that they have read or heard from someone else. Usually, it’s information THAT WE ALREADY KNOW! This person will not dig or do original research to present the community with something new. Nope. That’s waaaay too much work for the regurgitator. They get off by telling us over and over and over again how the Bible was created at the Council of Nicea. Just pat them on the head, tell them “thank you”, then walk away.

The quote that's huge describes this woman. The regurgitator. I dont know how many times she has made a balantant false statement that the bible was created at the council of nicea. :smh:

Sad part about it is that she doesn't even know blacks controlled europe during the time the council of nicea was taken place. But dont ask her to prove anything....she can't prove shit

Whites do not claim egypt at all. But the sad part is you are justifying claiming a nationality you are not simple because you think white people do it to? :smh:

Isn't this what sister do to justify putting weave in their head? White women do it to.....

You are not an egyptian and the proof is that you can't prove it, you can only justify it.

I put it right there in broad day, a category or label. Whether it be a militant, a thug, a hipster or a feminist...avoid putting yourself in a box/category. Enjoy life and as much as it has to offer without wondering if you should like it or not, all while letting others do the same without passing judgement or in this instance writing off the next brotha or sistas Blackness due to a difference in point of view or opinion...something I've seen done here done a million times over.​

Yeah this is not a beneficial mentality to have i think and being black is a box... being female is a box

Helping my people is a box then and i'm glad for it really. Anyone who does something to HELP their own is in a box then

It sounds like ur the type who doesn't want to belong

I've noticed that those types tend to not be very concerned about anyone else but themselves. Maybe ur that, maybe u ain't

I am and i think to make that something negative says something negative about the say'er

End thread. The problem with this post is that you can find these type of people in ANY community. Don't disassociate yourself from your own community because of a few idiots. We need black consciousness. Too many are still asleep.

This type of talk is simply devisive and destructive. You are only teaching niggas to refute knowledge when they here a conscious brotha speak.

Yeah, but nobody has said helping our people is a box or a bad thing, you have a bad habit of simply making shit up, stop it.

And guess what...? You're doing EXACTLY what I said these types of brothas and sistas always do right now with the whole "It sounds like ur the type who doesn't want to belong" bullshit. LOL Problem #1 and why this article holds truth. You just proved the very point I was making earlier, the so-called/fake "conscious" folk are the quickest to cut you off the Black family simply due to a difference in opinions and views.
:lol:

Y'all like to preach all this unity and togetherness since it sounds good but have some black folk think or do something differently or outside the box just a smidget, CUT THEM OFF, they are no longer YOUR brothas & sistas anymore, hilarious.

You do understand that you just described the author of this article, right?

:hmm:
How? You know her and her other works...? I don't see her saying take anyones Black card away. She's pointing out a common flaw in a lot of wanna be militants and apparently WTGGT couldn't want to live up to that moment and with little reason. The fake conscious folk are quickest to disown you from the Black family than anyone else. So to me, that's one of the worst things Black folks can do to each other and I for one can't stand it. Black folks have to stop trying to tell other Black people they are not or do not want to be "Black". THAT is one of the key problems and points this article is trying to make, but never mind that, just keep feeling like the article is an attack on the Black community.

This article suggests these are 5 types of people you should avoid.

Isn't avoiding these people not essentially the same as cutting them off from the black family tree?

It's not saying disown them, it's saying be aware of these types of people. Is it wrong to say avoid Religious fanatics or hardcore Atheists (depending on your POV)...? Does that really mean the same as cutting those people out of your family though...? No! It's not exactly the same as saying you simply don't belong here.
:cmonson:

The beginning of the article states there are some genuine conscious folks as well. But it becomes a problem when that religious-like belief system starts to kick in that gets people to start disowning, and to a degree, hating others. That's when it's a problem (especially when it's against your own). I don't see any hate in this article, just a bit of humor with a touch of seriousness here & there about an unnoticed issue with belief systems and how they can negatively affect us. I've noticed it for years now.

We can't progress with a stagnant train of thought. Immigrants, whether they're from Mexico or Africa, are gonna pass us all by financially if we don't change these defeated thoughts masqueraded as "conscious" thought. But it's a thin line between serious conscious thinkers and the ones in this article, so don't think I believe there are no REAL conscious thinkers either.​

lmaooo i asked you. And whoever else. Whata BOX was. You said.

Whether it be a militant, a thug, a hipster or a feminist...avoid putting yourself in a box/category.

By that statement ... MEANS if you care about the community. if you do things for the community THAT puts you in a box.

I'm ok with that box. Your box is You want to live for yourself. Your words. I'm not making anything up. Just going by what you say.

Everything else you say just sounds like hurt... I've seen this before. You want to be by yourself. Be so.

Nobody is going to fight to bring u into anything u don't want to be part of.

The thing i always find funny tho... is when black people talk about boxes it's always ALWAYS about being part of "BLACK PEOPLE"

Being part of who you are is a box.

Being part of a PEOPLE is a box...And they do everything they can to distance themselves from that people.

Just observations.
