Ok I broke down and watched it. I agree with her. There have been more than one person who has mentioned separating around here, but I never get a response as to how that works.
I think we have a lot that we can learn from other black peoples. I don't think they are more successful because they are better or have more drive, but they haven't been conditioned with the propaganda that black excellence is an anomaly. They grow up with black doctors, black professionals, black business owners as the norm. We have been conditioned that we are going to get as far as white folks LET us, and we can't be TOO successful or jealous whites will take it away just like they did Tulsa/black wall street. They don't have all that baggage. They don't see ownership as white people shit, whereas many American born blacks have a permissive mindset.
We talk about civil rights, but all these decades later we still see rights as being granted to us, rather than something we are entitled to by virtue of being born here in America. Many of us still see ourselves as beggars rather than rightful citizens. That's a white narrative that keeps us "othered" and we parrot that same nonsense.
