You Have To Understand: The Arguments Have Been The SAME Since The Beggining

[sharkbait28]

Listen to this highly regarded paternalistic white professor (and listless tv host) try to explain to someone as brilliant as James Baldwin how he just has the wrong attitude about his American experience as a black man. If you’re attentive and astute enough you’ll hear every contemporary Conservative argument for the status quo boiled down to a reduction fit to drizzle on every Michelin meal on both sides of the Atlantic. If I was independently wealthy I’d legit make a life’s work out of educating CACs, coons, ignoramuses and sincerely confused seekers on this type of shit. This dude was making an “Identity politics= bad!” argument in 1969, some 4 years after the Civil Rights Act!!! He was saying “Get over this color shit!” In 1969

CACs are INSANE… but also, peep the throughline breh’s, shit reverberates into today

Baldwins last words sent a chill up my goddamned spine. The WAY he says it as well...

Not everybody is picking up what he's putting down. That's what you call rappin.

Shit is infuriating. And they casually interviewed this brother who ate their lunches daily on some bully shit casually bc they were able to dismiss his humanity on the basis of his uppermost epidermal layer… meanwhile he was their legitimate father intellectually. It’s beyond infuriating brethren

Of course their world view has not changed, for they have worked hard to make the current world view, their own. And likewise, many of us have grown accustom to even seeing our very selves, as they see fit.

So many qoutables...

"Police in the ghetto, no matter what the liberal newspapers might say, are not there to protect my life, they are there to protect your property"

Damn, I wish black people listened to this dude. Media/government/religion/industry have made a profit of the backs of black folk and encourage us to harm each other rather than help each other. Their fear of us united is so strong its crazy.

The whole 1 drop issue that use to be a thing (still is to whites with power) came from the fear of caucasians who did not want people with Dominant DNA mixing with their recessive DNA aka African DNA with European DNA. They are now changing the narrative to be if you're lighter skinned, gay or republican your a safer black. But only when compared with other blacks. Your still lower in the American Cast system than everyone else. Mark my words, mexicans will get reparations before blacks.

Got to educate and acquire financial freedom. You turn on the TV, what do you see... The media telling you, Black gay men are good, self hating black men and women are good, praying to a white Jesus is good (Jesus was born in Africa, he can not be white anglo) and black people working together in anything other than sports is bad.

Real talk, I watch more black television now "national and international". It's crazy how white folk will convince black folk that Africa is horrible then turn around and vacation there.

They have the birds in the cage convinced that flying is a disease.

“...to be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost, almost all of the time—and in one’s work. And part of the rage is this: It isn’t only what is happening to you. But it’s what’s happening all around you and all of the time in the face of the most extraordinary and criminal indifference, indifference of most White people in this country, and their ignorance.”

You may very well be correct about the Mexican reparations:

Mexican Americans seek atonement for ancestral lands that were taken over generations

In 1848, there were 154 communities in New Mexico to whom the U.S. guaranteed land. But most of those agreements were never honored. Today, only 35 communities remain.

However, black people who are descendants of enslaved Africans in the United States of America should look into the "Judgement Fund."
The "Judgement Fund" could provide the funding (Reparations) to pay black people that are entitled to receive payments in America.
This video explains:


Note: It appears to be a limitless account.

That is why it is important to know TRUE history. All of it. Because then you can compare the whitewashed version to what really happened and see just how insecure they are. Their behavior all stems from fear and guilt.

I feel you but also, importantly, Baldwin himself was gay, and that's fine. I'll never rock with y'all brothers who pretend it's no decent gay folks among us. Let them ppl live their own lives. Now if you a faggot (ie, annoying af, BGOL troll etc, like how we meant it before we knew better in the 80s/90s, then fuck off lol).

I'm just keepin it a buck

No doubt. All this hysteria about trans ppl is dumb as hell, folks are already livin on their phones... how much dumber is this shit gonna seem when folks are living in virtual reality on some "Ready Player One" type shit? Pretending to give af about how grown folks choose to identify while they selecting Lion heads and Eagle hindquarters to represent their truest selves lol?

Especially in some advanced Facebook's META or some shit while the planet melts and the billionaires move off world. I'll give Rebupblicans and Conservatives one thing... they know how to keep their fake outrage relevant while the serious issues go entirely unaddressed.

 

[sharkbait28]

For the deluded conservative brothers up in here, these are your people and this is type of shit you lift up by omission (ie lying to yourselves)
