Brothas, gotta question. Do you feel compelled to compete with whitey?

[bionicbrown]

Lately I've heard talk about black people comparing themselves to jews, asking "why don't we network, build wealth and support each other on the level that jewish people do?" and also, "why do black men stop seem to stop excelling once we get the house, car and wife? Why not go further?"

Many of us have a mental stronghold when it comes to what we think is possible for us. Of course, many eyes are being open now that ya boy is in the white house.

I know the history, I know whitey has been trying to keep us down, but is it possible for us to overstep whitey and create our own power and wealth, collectively? Do you feel like you can excel and gain power like the whites have in this country? Do you want to rule the world or are you content with just getting by?

 

[Dr. Truth]

I could give a fuck what other people are doing. I'm only concerned with myself and immediate family.

Most of the Black "men" on BGOL (and in everyday society) are content on getting by while hating and criticizing the black "women". They know very well that they don' want to face off with the people in charge. Personally, i don't feel compelled to compete with white folks or be like white folks. why? because they have set up a global, national and local system that is based on mistreating people on the basis of color. And yeah, Black people should not try to be like any other group of people out there. Why? because no group on earth is trying to replace this system with some thing else. all other groups, including the Chinese are functioning within this oppressive system and are indirectly supporting it. Black people need to think of a whole new paradigm. Which of cause is strenuous to most of us. oNe!!!

 

[jwilliam85]

Now you know ass is willie
When they got you in a mag
For like half a billi
And your ass ain't Lilly
White
That mean that shit you write must be illy
Either that or your flow is silly
It's both
I don't mean to boast
But damn if I don't brag
Them crackers gonna act like I ain't on they ass
The Martha Stewart
That's far from Jewish
Far from a Harvard student
Just had the balls to do it
And no I'm not through with it
In fact I'm just previewin it
This ain't the show I'm just EQ'in it

 

[papi68]

I compete against everyone. I want to beat everyone at every thing. Having said that,I do admire Jews and how they look out for each other.

 

[POSTERBOY]

You can't front, jews are on some whole other shit... you can't do anything but respect it. they won't even buy a product if the company didn't pay for the little kosher k.

Yeah, I feel you, but on the other hand, neglecting to push movement can be detrimental too, which we've all seen that shit up front and personal.

Personally, I wish bruhs would start networking and get past the petty crab in a barrel shit that we do to each other, how do we get past that shit?

Personally I don't think the "capitalist" ideal of "dog eat dog" is a black thing ...we been brainwashed

We were and are a community type of people like the other asiatic people (arab, asian, indian, african)

The problem is that we see our brother as the competition/enemy and the system as the only thing that can save us

 

[GAMETHEORY]

Good question but dont expect much in here

majority here call themselves NIGGAZ = SELF HATE

[cbm_redux]

No. I already have a higher income than the majority of whites. Moreover, I'm comfortable; comfortable to the point that I'm not sweating paying my daughter's medical school tuition. Beyond that, I don't really give a fuck. What's the point? You can fritter away your life in a Sisyphean struggle to keep up with motherfuckers on television if you want to. You're still going to get old and die. Personally, I'm going to stop and smell the roses as often as I like. I often think that hip-hop has infected those of you who listen to that shit with chronic affluenza. Money isn't a means to and end for you motherfuckers. It's an end unto itself.

Good luck with that.

Problem is when you use it to refer to others in your group that is still self hate, which is why the word need to stop being used by us imo

That is survival mode ... which is great for getting by ...but almost impossible to get ahead (in life) with

Stop using kikes as a model race, they are the shadiest sons of bitches walking the face of the planet and they cannibalize each other to get ahead. Why don't we hear about it? CUZ THEY KEEP THEIR DIRT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

damn dude, kikes?

And I never said they were a model race. Yall act like sticking together and looking out for each other is a fucked up thing to do. Meanwhile, those muthafuckas are sticking together and making moves while we are distrustful and resentful of each other.

Dude, I'm a minimalist, I don't need a whole lotta money, but when you reach that self-actualization level, you want to contribute and make a pathway for others.

Imagine how much better the black community would be if we strengthened that bond.

 

[Flawless]

because in their eyes the white man is perfect

By understanding that we (black people) globally, nationally and locally function in a subject position within the global system of Western hegemony. We tend to build off a wrong premise and because of that we function self destructively. oNe!!!

Yes Kikes...

You kats are always running around here talkin about this "can't do business with niggas this, don't buy from Blacks that" not realizing how much worse it gets dealing with "others" such as kikes, towel heads, other filthy middle easterners, russians, armenians. I'VE DEALT WITH THEM ALL. And while I understand Blacks can get difficult, I'd rather deal with them and the American CAC than the list of foreigners I mentioned. The whole "kikes sticking together" spiel is all smoke and mirrors that THEY want you to see. Being a fly on the wall and unfortunalty being in the middle of their fuckery I realized that they are on some next level shit when it comes to screwin each other out of money.

Dude, I'm a minimalist, I don't need a whole lotta money, but when you reach that self-actualization level, you want to contribute and make a pathway for others.

Imagine how much better the black community would be if we strengthened that bond.

There are quite a few Blacks ALREADY working with each other. The shit isn't as hard as you think. I'm talking about literally a phone call here of an email there will get you a partnership. The problem is kats like you, like to waste time with posts like "why don't we work together" instead of using that time to actually make a phone call or send an email to a neigboring Black business.

Another thing, THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY. People in this country, including African Americans are free to do what ever the hell it is they want to do. If Blacks here don't want to establish business ties, fine, that's their right. I'm only asking once, then I'm moving on. I nor you can't force other Blacks to do what we feel that is right, or what actually is right. I just focus on those who want to make a deal and keep it moving.

Excuse me? We are not like other communities. Some of the biggest back stabbing crab in a barrel ass scum are blacks who do not want you to leave the hood and want you to wallow in misery with them. You go to college you're now a coon or sellout. Why the fuck should I help niggas who don't take the initiative to help themselves. The reason jews and other groups make it, is because they don't think negativity and genocide is cool. In the hood niggas think it's cool to beat down others for no reason or prison is a badge of honor and moving to the suburbs is bad. Education is not cool and a host of other problems. So tell me why the fuck I should try to convince a group of hopeless crab niggas to uplift themselves. They don't give a fuck about me or my life.

I help those who want to be helped and try. Too many young blacks are lazy ass niggas who cry about everything.

We would but for the idea would require we exclude whites. Jews, Hispanics, Asians and so on have been allowed to get away with blatent discriminatory tactics when helping each other, blacks are not.

If BGOL were to set up a successful network, we would be exposed and put in full view by the media as something more crooked than the mafia. Much like they did ACORN. It would be dismantled, sued, condemned, slandered and in the end an object of ridicule and the organizers jailed.

White people hate us specifically, they do not want to see us have success, they dont want an organization that they cannot infiltrate and take full advantage of before it actually benefits black people. We cannot setup a network that specifically benefits blacks without it being linked to so-called black racism or black militants. Everyone that participates in it will be subjected to rejection by all whites.

 

[Cock Head Jones]

I compete because I'm naturally a competitive muthafucka. I have a mind to roll over anybody or anything in my way black white, green or purple. Played sports all thru school and that shit is just en-grained in me.

I do wanna see us do a better job at working together. Most of us have such a negative opinion of us that we spend more time trying to distance ourselves from us than looking for ways to build with us.

even nowadays you think ? cat could try and be low key with it maybe ?

also if set up why worry about rejection from whites ?

 

[quietly freaky]

Mostly everyone has a "good" point or perspective on this one, however before we can move ahead and implement anything, we have to look back and realize why we are in the condition we are in.

You all need to read Dr. Joy DeGruy Leary's book "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome". It will shed light on everything that was brought up in this thread.
