By DY_nasty Go To Postif you need to strain yourself so hard to find something that makes sense, then it may be time to consider stepping back and reevaluating your stance as a whole. Don't intentionally feed your own confirmation bias… I mean, its not hard to look at a guy like Tariq Nasheed or Umar and realize that they're hustlers. Just because they say one or two things that click with you, it doesn't mean that they have your, or the communities, best interests at heart.
Thanks for looking out I know you are coming from a good place and I'm listening to you. Hell I'm listening to everyone. I'm lost myself just trying to find the right way to resist the best way to fight. I need takes from all people to best form a plan. I want to lead.
I mean.... that's not a bad spot to come from. Its just that if you really, really want to make those active steps then you can't do so knowing that you could potentially bring others down road littered with shitty traffic signs and poor directions.
For example, I don't think that Umar was all that bad of a guy at first and actually wanted to start that school. Then it became obvious that he picked up more momentum than he ever intended to receive. Those stretch goals kept stretching and its obvious that nothing significant is ever going to happen with that fortune he's received. But he's too deep into the shit to stop now. Tariq was pitching "how to be a pimp" vids not too long ago. Neither of these guys are worth the time, but because they aim their videos so low, they're able to constantly get support from a demographic that (wrongly) feels that they're the only 'real' voices out there.
Guys here and elsewhere give me a ton of shit because I'm very quick to say that we can't compare ourselves to the bulk of civil rights movement because we have tools that those people never had. We CAN research shit, fact check, *leave*, spread information faster/further than ever. Its a slap in the face to not use the tools available.

By blackace Go To PostI mean saying all white people are animals are people in mixed relationships are sellouts is batshit insane… (just talking about the youtube joints)What kills me about it is a lot of black people I know got white daddies or mommas so uh...
Most of us know how bad white supremacy has hurt us and the world but just making up crap isn't fighting back… it's spreading hurtful disinformation…
Now talk about ways to help trusting each other and spending money in black businesses and communities and then you'd have a good start to a movement…
But maybe the way is to just lie on the next man

I said people are starting to crack...Its only going to get worse yall. People are not caring anymore. Hopelessness is making people do the absolute worst. We know what we have to fight against but we have to educate people this is NOT how you fight. EVER! This is just fucking awful.

That isn't "people starting to crack". That's just dumb violence that has always existed and will always exist.

I don't think so.
By CRUD Go To PostI don't think so.Its wild profitable to label shit as "erupting, never seen before violence"... People would have you believe that Baltimore was burned to the ground earlier this year.
By CRUD Go To PostI don't think so.Why not? What's so different?
I really feel class has always been more important than race... race was just a tool used to divide the people... It's nothing new... If blacks were removed from the picture, they would pick on the brown and if America was all white they'd attack redheads in the media
By p s y Go To PostWhy not? What's so different?
With the whole FB live deal how quickly this can happen. Just feels different like this is going to escalate.
Blackace you are so right. I don't know when they will ever teach race being a social construct in grade school.

Maybe a little chicken and the egg here? Maybe a little of both? Racism was used as a tool to get poor whites to fight for the rich during the civil war. It was used to craft laws etc etc.
However, if it's more class than anything then the whole rising tide economical (socialism) arguments would carry more weight.
People like power and don't like those that are different.

By DY_nasty Go To PostIts wild profitable to label shit as "erupting, never seen before violence"… People would have you believe that Baltimore was burned to the ground earlier this year.That was almost two years ago now! April 2015. The election took years off our lives for real.
Baltimore is over 60% black and we now have a newly elected mayor in office, tons of construction going on in various parts of the city (mostly affluent areas to be honest) and there are jobs being added at all levels in health care, retail and in service which are great for our, how do you say, special level of educated youth. Also Kevin Plank, CEO of Under Armour, is in the process of investing hundreds of millions to South Baltimore over the next decade to transform a large section of the waterfront and area around the new UA hq.
But we still had over 300+ murders this year which when compared to Chicago is about twice as many per capita. And that isn't going to change. Over 2/3's of those deaths are either gang related or robberies. There's nothing that can be done to change certain sections of youth that don't give a fuck and have no interest in leaving that kind of environment. Nothing. It's a waste of time. Lock them all up and release the kids selling weed and dope. They're the real go getters!
27 murders in the last 30 days. Hell, we got four on the books for 2017 already.

These are all the shootings for 2016 and their location. You can literally see what is known as the white L. Right down the center along 83 and then right along the water forming an L. Those are where the cops don't play and where they're actually policing because you know :/
Especially around JHU and MICA campus.
When the Riots broke out, out of state input was infuriating to defend because nobody knew the situation outside of the people who lived here.
There's a lot of talented young folk who don't wanna be in that life but Baltimore's market is slim picking already.

By YungMagus Go To PostIs it cause of nigga turtles dub?No (although that's damn good). It's because it's so fucking boring. Nothing fucking happens in the movie. There's barely any fighting, TONS of exposition that leads nowhere, and Shredder gets beaten by a fucking keytar.
Boggles my mind that the third movie gets shit on but the 2nd movie gets a pass. At least the third movie has a plot that gets resolved, as well as plenty of time dedicated to fights.

I'm reading this history of the US civil war right now...I didn't realize that not only was Maryland a slave state even though it was part of the Union, they were allowed to keep their slaves during the war - even after the Emancipation Proclamation - because Lincoln didn't want to piss off rich allies in a geographically important location.
That kind of explains a lot about how things have gone down in that state. It was run by the slaveowners who won the war.

By RobNBanks Go To PostYou're hated because you're different, making a youtube asking if white people are human isn't a justifiable response.
White people get all the blame but that's because they have the power to oppress. Blacks, hispanics, asians, etc. would do the same shit if they were in the position of power. People generally don't like things different from them regardless of race
Manifest Destiny is a profoundly Eurocentric movement post-dark ages on the grounds that God willed the conquering and cultivation of the world as instructed to Adam in Genesis, "be fruitful, multiply, dominate and subdue every living thing." I am unaware of in the Far East, Americas, or sub-Saharan Africa, so I would say that I disagree with you that things would be the same if roles were reversed. In fact, when the Cikings were building longboats to raid, East Africans were traveling to India regularly.

Bacon's Rebellion predated even the United States. I thought it to be a kumbaya moment where blacks and whites united against the man until I began research into the topic and discovered that they rebelled against the governor because they wanted to kill Natives for their land.

Parents complained that TMNT was too violent, so they stopped using their weapons forreal and started using more props for combat like in the cartoons.
I agree that the premise of TMNT3 is lame, but it's still better than TMNT2:
Ralph: *with swagger, walking across the room* "And so, as long as we couldn't find the scepter, we had no choice but to right, right?" *finishes sentence right in kunoichi's face*
**kunoichi chick storms off, embarrassed**
Miley: "Woah, uncool!"
Ralph: "VERY uncool."
Meanwhile, the most memorable line in TMNT2 is "Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go!"
Thanks no I'm gonna be singing "go ninja go" all day at work
Oddly enough I was watching gangs of new york last night and it dealt directly with how the Irish were persecuted as well.

The Chinese empire for thousands of years operated on the premise that China was the 'middle kingdom,' the literal centre of the cosmos, and the Emperor was the Son of Heaven, and all non-Han peoples were barbarians who owed him tribute - which by the Ming Dynasty he received from as far away as Africa. In the 20th century the communist government believed in the spread of Maoism as the perfect model of government and supported Maoist insurgencies throughout Southeast Asia, leading to several proxy wars. In the 21st century they continue to actively stamp out any languages or religions other than those of the Han people.
The Japanese followed the same model - the Emperor was the divine descendant of the sun goddess, the Japanese islands a special domain created by the gods to be their home. The word shogun came from the time when they were conquering the tribes on the far end of the main island and is a short form of the title sei-i taishogun: 'barbarian slaying commander-in-chief.' The Japanese embraced colonialism pretty much instantly once they re-entered the world in the 19th century, founding a brutal empire which typically banned people from positions of power in their own countries.
Genghis Khan and his descendants literally killed 5% of the world's population in their cross-continental conquests, and Genghis himself directly considered all Jews and Muslims slaves. Their empire followed the nationalistic Tengrist religion and operated on a caste system that placed Mongols above all other people in the world's social hierarchy. They subdued Asia from Korea to Iran, up as far as Hungary.
And I could go on for hours.
So no, tribalist dickheadedness and claims to divinely appointed imperialist ambition are not in any way unique to Europe.
In fact, when the Cikings were building longboats to raid, East Africans were traveling to India regularly.
When the vikings were building longboats to raid, the Moors had already spread out of North Africa and conquered much of the Mediterranean and Middle East in the name of spreading Islam.
And of course there was Hannibal and the Phoenician Empire which came out of modern Libya, the Egyptian Empire, Songhai Empire, Ethiopian Empire...

Long post but little to do with why Asia did not cross the Pacific to do what Europeans did wirh the Atlantic...if Asian civilizations were as ambitious as you reminisce, where are their global vassal states in the Americas, Africa, or Europe? Why do we thrive in an occidental occidental rather than oriental orientation?
