idk what dr king would do if he had been living today. idk how a 2019 king , living through the 70's,80's90's and 2000's would proceed right now. would he be more radical because essentially we're in the same place when he left.
I concede. He's my elder and he's doing what Dr. King would do. After all, that's his daughter next to him and she's solid and has never done anything questionable.
and i would say, why didnt everyone who claimed to have "marched with Dr. King" not continue his fight.
matter of fact, most of his people (and Malcom X's) were all agents when the dust settled.
What do you mean by that?
Who anoints these people as our leaders. The white media does this through their coverage which is dangerous. We need our own mechanism to pick the people we want out on that bridge standing in front.
Juan Guaido is a perfect example of them picking people that serve their needs. We need Maduro on that bridge.

She hit it on the head there
But what did do for her districts when she was doing his job? I'm asking because I don't know.
economics, unemployment ,homeownership and education, we're at the bottom of the list in america. cacs/cacs cops still murdering and brutalizing us.
Still repping hard for that brown/Black alliance
Black and brown people are the ones that will be targeted by this raid.
I wrote about how these events that are attended by whites are used to mask their racist agenda.
I would be documenting who shows up and looking at them more closely.

Only a person who didnt live during the 50s and 60s thinks this way.
Bottom line
Wether I agree with him or not I'm not going there.
In private maybe... And that's a big maybe. I would thank him first

When these raids come tomorrow...
They are not just targeting Latinos, they will be targeting African and Caribbean people - non citizens and citizens alike.
"On Thursday, The New York Times cited three anonymous Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials who discussed the plan to detain and deport families who have received a deportation notice, and “collateral” immigrants who happen to be near the raids at the time — potentially detaining children."

Lewis is right. There is no such thing as an illegal human being. In the West, that concept is the white man's construct. The Native ancestors of Latino people were here thousands of years before any white man set foot on this soil to steal and then claim ownership of it.
Collateral immigrants = indiscriminate snatch and grabs.
For the few of them who sympathize with Blacks in America my heart and prayers go out to them.
For the many who call us Akatas and think we aren't shit, I don't really care what happens to them.
Exactly. The long game is that they do not want ANYONE here who isn't white and will use this chance (as they have been using chances before now) to get rid of us- regardless of whether we are from here or from there.Collateral immigrants = indiscriminate snatch and grabs.
So, whatever chance they can get to grab up and deport someone with dark skin, they are and have been using it.
This is all about, "Make America white again." No two ways about it.
I hear you, Brother.
Truthfully, I've been around for a long time in major cities and have not really ever been disrespected by anyone from the Continent.
That said, it is hard to quantify numerically how many look down on us. What qualifies as them sympathizing with us? There are people from 54 African nations here in the U.S. Some do look down on us. The percentage, who knows? I would ask the reverse question though: How many of us hate Africans? How many of us see ourselves as superior to them, mock them, stereotype or have names for them?
Another honest question: For those of us saying that Latinos or Africans or anyone else don't and haven't advocated for us, I would ask: Have many times have you advocated for them? If not at all, then why would you expect that of them?
If you could answer the above questions, I'd appreciate it. I'm not trying to entrap you or score points, I'm asking these things sincerely.
Malcolm X, Kwame Nkrumah and other great Black leaders would frown upon such isolationism. They were all about Pan-Africanism. Malcolm was down with Fidel Castro- likely because he represented a nation, Cuba, that resisted and eliminated the elite racist white power structure. Malcolm's moves to unite African-Americans with other non-white people abroad who were exploited by white supremacy is likely the reason he was taken out. He was evolving into a revolutionary. I have no doubt that at a time like this, had he lived, he would be advocating against this fascist administration issuing this mass deportation.

That’s funny. These coons never say what the real problem is, which is the white power structure.
When he says that publicly, he is worthy of respect.

"The scars and stains of racism are still deeply embedded in the American society."
- John Lewis, 11/2018
Racism = white supremacy = white power structure.
This is not to say I'm four square in agreement with all he says and advocates. Dr. King, he is not. He doesn't possess neither the nuance nor the intellect of MLK. Few have ever. I acknowledge though that John Lewis has been heroic and put his life on the line for the liberation of our people from racist oppression.

Not good enough for me. You understand racism but Lewis and other politicians like him will say “black people can be racist too!”
They will consistently talk of symptoms but not the illness and that is why I have a problem with him and those like him.

I have observed over the years that it takes a measurable quantity for any immigrant community to assert themselves a distinct group.
Back when I was in HS, we had a Mexican family on our block. Some of them are STILL there to this day. Mainly the ones who hung out with US back then because there WAS NO large number of Mexicans in Milwaukee in the late 70s and early 80s.
There was a small pocket of PRs on the East side, still adjacent and/or mixed into the Black Community. Black people lived on the Northside and Whites on the Southside. By the mid-90s, the Southside transformed into the Barrio. When the numbers increased, they moved into enclaves of their own. Today, that's where the majority of Spanish speaking people live, from the DR and PR, to Mexico and Peru.
I was in the Grapevine's comment section under their vids on AA vs Africans topics and I'd engaged with some of the commenters there. Bolarin and other's were still feeling the sting of being called, "African Booty Scratcher" well into adulthood.
I tried to explain to them that before there were any significant Continental Africans here, I WAS the butt of that cheap laugh. That was childhood ribbing, but show me what grown muhfuckas are clowning Africans like that shit.
It was no different with any Africans though, it's completely natural to seek out your own people and culture. Back then, all that were here were the really well off who could afford to come here and attend College, etc. Now that they have their numbers up, there is a Nigerian Community Center and Ghanaians have one of their own. Jamaicans have their own Bars, barbershops, and businesses, etc.
Once any group amasses any significant numbers, they will separate themselves and make any distinction known.
Having said all of this, I am 100% in favor of Black Americans specifying our own DISTINCT identity as well. One of OUR choosing.
saying that isnt the solution to our problems
we spend far too much energy trying to get them to admit or face something they never will
and for what? what changes after they do?
the ONE thing that can start to change our situations in 30 days we refuse to acknowledge because we’re too busy screaming about systemic racism as if anyone not black gives a shit
Of course, it is only natural to gather with those of one's culture. That was something during slavery that white slave masters were careful to not let happen - tribe amassing with tribe, speaking to each other in a tongue the white man can't translate.
Pan-Africanism acknowledges and celebrates the individual cultures and identities of groups of Black folks of the diaspora but also looks at forging alliances and finding solutions to counter the oppression, exploitation and devastation of our common enemy, white supremacy.
This enemy here today is taking no prisoners. The same that is doing mass deportation and holding people in subhuman conditions in concentration camps along the Southern border are the same who allow cops to kill us, unprosecuted. They are the same who let black folks die of bad water and who lynch us but let their pigs call it suicide. It is not so much a matter of "it'll be our turn next". It potentially IS that, but it's also, "they hate us ALL and want to see us all gone."
It's a matter of an administration who is openly racist and abides by no rules - save that of the President. Damn a Constitution. This event tomorrow should have us all nervous, because no one knows what or who is next.

I didn’t say that it was. If they can’t openly admit the problem then they can’t even begin to change it so it needs to be said.
Dr. Kamau Kambon layed out the solution 15 years ago on C-SPAN and was dismissed. If this can’t be stated, then how can things change?

I'm sick of accidentally clicking on Kofi Daeshaun's ad. Shit. 
when the fuck did he say that?
We need to stop thinking and acting weak like fucking cattle. This is why I am immigrating, create a large buffer. 1 minute spending time with them creeps me out.
how so?
i dont expect them to change
EVER.
i find it beyond bizarre that our culture is so focused on chasing that tired ass ghost
the way around them changing is through our understanding of economics so we can take over and become the financial majority
let them have their feelings....at the bottom
Being around weak, aloof, coonin MF is dangerous.
I would give two fucks about the raids going on but im too busy trying not to get harassed,beat and or killed by the police;as soon as that gets over maybe ill feel like helping the messicans deal with ice.Sorry
