What is all this staying "On Code" stuff about??

[cashwhisperer]

The concept comes from Neely Fuller, Jr, who wrote the "United Independent Compensatory Code System Concept" which you can purchase at http://producejustice.com.


A lot of prominent people are now talking about staying on code, in reference to Neely Fuller's book, but it's pretty evident that they aren't following it all the way. The code doesn't require you to follow it to a tee, as the codes are simply suggestions on how to handle certain issues living under a system of white supremacy.

Here are a few of the "codes" from the book.

1. Minimize Contact, Minimize Conflict - Unless non-white people are coming together to do something constructive, you should minimize contact in order to minimize conflict.

2. Conversing vs. Arguing - You should always engage in conversation, not in arguments that devolve into name-calling, ad hominem attacks and not respectfully hearing each other out.

3. Victim's Guaranteed Qualification or VGQ - If you don't agree with another non-white person's view on how to handle racism, refuse to argue with them about their view (Even if it's Candance Owens). This especially goes for situations where a white person will ask two black people the same question for the purpose of getting them to go at each other.

4. Showoffisms - Don't showoff what you have to another black person, what you know to another black person, your ability to belittle another black person and your ability to make a sexual impression upon another black person.


Yeah, so without calling any names, I've seen a lot of people this past week talking about staying on code that weren't staying on code. And you can't force the code upon someone, so it's not my place to talk shit about them if they aren't staying on code.

However, this past week has been a GREAT EXAMPLE of the downward spiral that can happen among black people when we are NOT following the code when dealing with each other.

So hopefully, this thread is a good explainer for those interested in staying "On Code".

The one thing you can count on is "humans will always human". If you think black folks are somehow "special" and can live together in some sort of black utopia, you're in for a rude awakening. Egos, resources and money getting in the way are the quickest downfall to any movement. It's even harder to keep in check when already marginalized people try to organize and move together.

True. The code is nothing but logic. If you're a logical person, you're already somewhat practicing the code. But having an awareness of the code and choosing to implement it personally can help the individual. It certainly has helped me.

For instance, the code talks about the 3 F's when dealing with police officers or suspected race soldiers:

1. Don't Fight
2. Don't Fuss
3. Don't Flee

This could help a LOT of young brothers if we spread that word and educated them on the fact that the real battle takes place in the courtroom with good lawyers rather than on the street with government goons.

The code can help a lot of people. It is my opinion though that people with large platforms pushing being "on code" actually be on code themselves. All this "big glossy lipped nigga" and "this old hoe" and "look at my house" and "she sucked that coon's dick" shit I heard this past week is EXACTLY what the code is intended to prevent if folks would just have discipline and stick to the code as they preach.

I'm guilty too, so I'm not excluding myself or criticism. I talk shit in fun, but if it becomes serious I'm ghost. But I can do better myself.

The code is coined by Fuller as counter-racist science or counter-racist logic, because white people have a code they practice against us that has been working for the last 500 years. So we need a code, we have a code and if we follow the code, we can definitely have a better situation than what we're looking at now.

Wow, I’ve never really thought to look up Neely Fuller’s actual codes. Only heard Tariq Nasheed talk about it years ago. It’s funny how simple it is and how off that fool is. He’s most argumentative and show-off type dude and trying to tell kats how to stay on code. Can’t make this shit up. I always took it as more instinctual thing like acknowledging another brotha especially when it’s just a few of us in a setting. Seems like something I was just raised in from childhood.

 

[exiledking]

Lol actually reading these, dude violates ALL OF EM

I'll say this, Tariq Nasheed, Boyce Watkins, Yvette Carnell, Meechie X, Antonio Moore are ALL aware of Neely Fuller, Jr and the U.I.C.C.

Any grown ass adult that's reading a book to tell them how to act like a civilized human being or "being in code" has already lost in life and there's no hope for you. The motherfukers that are waiting in line for a fucking Popeye sandwich ain't going read this book. If someone ain't telling me how to flip a $1000 into $10000 I ain't trying to hear it. There's always some fake black movement that's telling you the only reason you're fucked in life while everybody else is winning including a lot of black people is because you are black which is bulshit!.

There's a lot more to the code than telling people "how to act like a civilized human being". I'd check it out first before outright dismissing it.

A motherfucker eating Popeyes today might be reading Neely Fuller tomorrow. There's a Popeyes down the street from the CAU, and I'm sure you can get quite a few of those students to check out the code.

No matter how much money you make, you are still subject to the system of white supremacy.

If the code doesn't apply to you, if you don't feel it's useful to you, then you are welcome to not use it. Neely Fuller has said this himself.

 

[Mr. Met]

Code among black folk has turned into a slang term to silence anyone who wants to call out bullshit.

That's why I think "cutting a check" won't instantly fix all the problems black Americans face in this country. The money should be paid by all means, but as long as there is racism as the "lifeblood" of this country a lot of shit ain't going to change.

EXACTLY!

Yeah....He has long been one to say "we gotta get on code" UNTIL somebody says something against him and then all bets are off.

It would be nice to see him say just ONCE, "he/she said what he said" and keep it moving instead of getting down in the dirt with the shit.

He knows doing the petty thing is entertaining though, it causes a ruckus and creates attention, which leads to sales of hidden colors.

Simply staying active on social media creates sales. Ask Grant Cardone. It's all a numbers game.

 

[Mello Mello]

This is good. A lot of people don’t know how to handle conflict resolution and either escalate things out of pride ignorance, arrogance or fear.

I think immediately about all these young boys being killed out in Baltimore, EVERY SINGLE DAY.

This could be a useful learning tool, can’t take for granted that some people just don’t know how to act unless they are taught better.

 

[cashwhisperer]

That goes for anybody really.

That’s what I’m saying.
