Obama was the first educated black person white America actually seen and acknowledged and its a big part of the reason Trump won

Fear... Tell me whether I'm right or wrong.

White folks were scared big time, the powers that be push a image of us to the worl to in a sense dictate how other groups spend they're money. They need us to look and act a way to the world as it makes other spend in a certain pattern. It's plenty of cheap multi million dollar house that cacs buy in a large part knowing we don't live around them parts, the roof leaks within a year, the building material cheap and so

so it's important to keep the fear going as it leads to big bucks for the people at the top.

Obama was a sign of change, they imagined a large black educated class buying and becoming very business savvy and they voted against it.

We see it, we always knew it's a big class separation within the black community but it's best for business to keep that low for white folks, Fox News has a pattern of how they portray blacks and we all know it.'

You want to talk about the greatest lie ever told? Beyond the Bible, white folks came over from Europe, raped, pillaged, tortured people and stole the lands from the native Americans, stole people from other continents to work the land that was stolen because they were incapable of working the land that they stole. All of that to push the fear of black and brown people on the world when they are the biggest perpetrators of evil shit.

How do they do all of that shit, but get the world to fear black people? They're lucky black people are looking for a quality and not revenge.

You are right, they need the world to see us looking a certain way, and acting a certain way.

I've told this story before:

A friend of a friend I met before was a very smart guy but he was a super nerd. He had at least 12 degrees. He would Get a degree just for the hell of it. He just liked me learning. He worked downtown Cleveland and typically he would wear a sport coat and a button-down with jeans and penny loafers to work.

One day, on the way to work there was an explosion on the corner of his street while he was at a bus stop. He called his boss and told him he was going to be late and he was interviewed by the news, two stations. He told a group of us that he was going to be on the news and that we should watch.

We did, but we didn't see him.

What we saw was a black man in his '60s with about 17 teeth in his mouth that spoke English so broken it was ridiculous. They also showed a black woman in one of those silk house gowns, at least 50 to 55.

They had an intelligent black man, very well spoken Who would have been fully capable of being able to convey everything that went down that he witnessed and this is what they put on the news.

They want people to see black people as ignorant and dumb even though those who are ignorant and dumb are the minority when it comes to black people. That is by design. They don't want the world or even black people to believe in the obamas of the world. They don't want to inspire us

Colonialism makes it feel like you’re drowning on land. You have to remember that you’re on land.

If and when you learn how to remember, you won’t even realize you made this thread. Read Aime Cesaire. Read Fanon. Read Du Bois. Read Amos Wilson.
