Proof That Many Young Black Americans Have Lost Their Mind

[TRUFICTION]

I never said white is right, nor do I believe that. It doesn't matter if most debt ridden whites are living illusions of grandeur in their suburban utopias. It has nothing to do with our ability or inability to act economically responsible. I am just looking at our overall condition and see that far too many of us have a disconnect when it comes to Black folks making economic decisions that limit our overall ability to create wealth/power. If 95% of the collective Black disposable income goes into white communities what are we building? This means that whites institutions are getting 100% of their income and 95% of ours.

So what's the solution? Invest in yourself and your community. Here's a plan that I practice.

ALL THAT IS FINE BUT....................
OUR OVERALL CONDITION IS THE RESULT OF DECADES IF NOT CENTURIES OF CONDITIONING. THAT WILL NOT BE SOLVD OVER NIGHT AND WILL
REQUIRE A COLLECTIVE EFFORT FROM ALL.

DID YOU EVER PARTICIPATE IN ANY OF THESE SAME ACTIVITIES ?
IF YOU DID, AT SOME POINT THE SAME THINGS WERE SAID ABOUT YOU.
WERE THEY ACCURATE IN SAYING THAT YOU WOULD NEVER AMOUNT TO SHIT AND WERE A CRIMINAL ?

JUST BECAUSE YOU HAD A REVELATION DOESNT MEAN EVERYONE ELSE WILL
WHEN YOU DO.
PEOPLE COME INTO THEIR OWN AT DIFFERENT TIMES IN LIFE.
THE REASON BLACK PEOPLE SPEND THAT MONEY IN THE WHITE COMMUNITY IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THAT WHITE IS RIGHT AND SAVE A BUCK ATTITUDE
THAT DEVELOPS FOR MANY REASONS.

THERE ARE A MILLION OTHER REASONS AS WELL THAT WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH TIME OR SPACE TO HASH OUT.
YOU WILL NOT CHANGE THAT WITH THIS CONVERSATION
OR BY MAKING GENERAL STATEMENTS ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE.

YOU WILL HOWEVER ALIENATE THEM AND
PREVENT THEM FROM TAKING YOU SERIOUSLY.

Dog, 95% of the wealth in this country is going into the hands of 10% of the population. That 10% happens to be white, but it doesn't make black folks any LESS than any other group that's paying into the system. Blacks aren't giving their money to white people, they are giving it to the fucking WALTON family, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. It kills me when people talk about what blacks don't have.

Guess what group has the highest levels of entrepeneurship?

Do you even know?

Would you like to guess?

BLACK FOLKS

Guess what group has the fastest growing middle class?

Any guesses?

BLACK FOLKS

(And the sad part is, I already know what the response will be to the GOOD news posted above, some bullshit stat about how far we HAVEN'T come)

It irritates the FUCK out of me when subjects like this come up and black folks are isolated out for SOCIETAL ILLS unrelated to race, then when you try to explain that the issue is NOT a black one, you get this psuedo-millitant bullshit about "I don't care what white people are doing". You aren't uplifting a muthafucking thing by doing that, all your doing is holding your own people to an unfair standard.

Bad enough we got to work twice as hard to get to the same place as some white boy (and WE STILL CAME UP).

Bad enough we gotta deal with institutionalized racism.

Bad enough we have to deal with constantly being shit on in the media.

On top of everything esle we have to deal with, we have to deal with so-called well intentioned brothas (I say so-called because I don't think the intentions are necessarily all that "WELL") holding their own people to an impossible standard. And when I say impossible, I mean impossible because some of y'all just won't be happy no matter HOW shit plays out for us. BLACK FOLKS ARE HUMAN JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

And one more thing dog, not necessarily directed at you, but just to clarify shit. Hispanics have political clout because of sheer fucking breeding. Their numbers are giving them clout (that and the fact that about 50 different ethnic groups that have shit to do with each other have been lumped under one umbrella because they speak Spanish). Every race ain't doing better than us and if you honestly believe that, you got some SERIOUS self hate issues.

100% Truth.......

DID YOU EVER PARTICIPATE IN ANY OF THESE SAME ACTIVITIES ?

I never called anybody a criminal and yeah, I did some of the things (and worse) on that video. However, my thing was more focused on economics and not morality.

Maybe you're right, but I'm just so frustrated with our being economically on the bottom rung of the American capitalistic ladder. I live with the hope that we will eventually collectivize and snatch some of that 95% of our power.

KEEP DOIN WHAT YOURE DOIN BUT......
BE MINDFUL OF THE WAY YOU HANDLE AND VIEW YOUR PEOPLE.
GBE EVEN MORE MINDFUL OF THE INFORMATION ITS SOURCE AND ITS INTENT.

LOOK FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE THE CAUSE TO THE EFFECT,
THEY WILL GIVE YOU DIRECTION IN YOUR QUEST TO DEVELOP
ECONOMICALLY AND MENTALLY,
THUS PROVIDING A BETTER AVENUE BY WHICH TO APPROACH
THE NEXT MAN WITH KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM.

Hmm...this kind of puts the thread in perspective now...I see the point the poster was going for...I wasn't aware of the meaning behind it...

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, is an annual holiday in fourteen states of the United States. Celebrated on June 19, it commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas. The holiday originated in Galveston, Texas; for more than a century, the state of Texas was the primary home of Juneteenth celebrations. Since 1980, Juneteenth has been an official state holiday in Texas. It is considered a "partial staffing holiday" meaning that state offices do not close but some employees will be using a floating holiday to take the day off.[1] Thirteen other states list it as an official holiday, including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Alaska, and California.[2] However, some of these states, such as Connecticut, do not consider it a legal holiday and do not close government offices in observance of the occasion.[3] Its informal observance has spread to some other states including Alabama, with a few celebrations even taking place in other countries.
