Sonically, one of the best rap album ever created…to the sincere detriment of our culture. I watched our socio-cultural remnants crumble when this album travelled the US and affected the minds of our youth.
Growing up I used to hear that it’s not what you say, but how you say it! Well, there’s no denying that! But I’ve also heard is that truth is a hard pill to swallow! And that too is true, depending on your mental gag reflex!
It is a hard truth to accept that many of my people are happy being a servant in our oppressor’s system, but a truth I must accept! Often, it seems like my people could care less about the knowledge being born to them. In some cases, those you’re striving to wake up are actually upset that you are doing your best to wake them up!
Some even HATE YOU! Hate doesn’t have to manifest in rudeness though most times it is. It can come across in contentious commentary...or sassy sarcasm. The most sophisticated haters come at you real smooth to prove their point! Smmfh! Good, bad, or indifferent...there are TOO MANY Black people/African people (whatever you go by) that think just like the European does and DON’T EVEN KNOW IT!
To convince them that they have some of their oppressors ways just makes it worse! I do this for certain people. There’s a small percentage of people who truly want to be awakened and can handle certain information...while the masses sleep walk thru their existence—consciously.

An unfortunate truth. 😣
““What’s going on between the Black man and the Black woman is that neither of us understands how white supremacy works. How it is messing with us as individuals. How it juggs with us when we try to get together to establish something that is called a family. We try to form this thing called family, looking at the magazines and reading how families are supposed to function. But when we can’t duplicate that, frustrations build, which leads to the alienation that exists between Black men and Black women. All because we don’t understand the system. We think we’re living in a democracy and since we’re Americans determining our own destinies, it must be that as individuals we are imperfect. But it’s hard to say that ‘I am the imperfect one,’ so you start to blame the other person. So it’s the ‘no good Negro male” or the ‘no good Negro female’ and ‘what I need is a white woman.’ Society plays that up. ‘Right, Julia, you don’t need a Black man. All you need is a white man to give you a job.’ Or in the movies, 'Black man, you don’t want a Sapphire, what you want is a white woman.’ Or, 'Black man, it isn’t cool being a man, what you really want is to be a woman’…The Black man knows that it is easier to be a Black woman than it is to be a Black man any day, because we are not a threat. The system understands that in order to oppress Black people it has to oppress the men. Let the woman do what they want, within limits. I don’t mean that you are unoppressed as a Black woman, but you are not the prime target.“ Frances Cress Welsing”

If you know who Emmett Till is please reblog.
I’m trying to prove a point to my dad.
We know who he is. His death is the primary reason why I’d never f*cked around with white women.

Ain’t this some truth.

Can’t front or lie: this is the 2nd dumbest shit that black women do to their hair. Blonde hair is number one.

Daryl Davis is a Chicago blues musician, who uses his friendship with KKK to convince members to leave this organization. He successfully persuaded 25 former white supremacists that there’s another way. Davis has his own strategy, he explains and talks to people in more than friendly way, that allows to prevent usual misunderstanding.
‘They may be yelling and screaming or pounding the table, but at least they’re talking, they’re not fighting.’
Davis choose to disarm them with polite conversation and smile. And this worked out.
It doesn’t mean he’s anti-Black, he just chose his own path. No need to spread fake facts. This is very important!

He dismantled every KKK group in his entire state by merely befriending the individual members.
Look how effective his method was compared to screeching at people and calling them buzzwords.
re-reblogging because holy shit
willesqueleto
why do people just outright lie about this stuff
do they think nobody will check
And Daryl’s case nobody wants to see better way of fighting racism.
I saw his little documentary thing. I dont agree with everything he says, but he gets other black people so mad by implying that violence is not the answer. Like people were raising their voices at him and threatening him when he said “people can change”.
This came shortly before the “punch a nazi” popularity. Everyone’s suddenly forgotten that opinions can be changed. That violence doesnt actually change their minds. Discussion does.
Most of the people who praised him now think his methods could never work. Even though we know they have. He’s gotten over 200 people to leave the KKK and change their minds about race. By himself.
They’re just too filled with bloodlust for people who don’t think like them or too lazy to put in the time having relationships with people who aren’t carbon copy clones of their each and every belief. That’s all.
There was one knob-end on reddit in /r/blackfellas who claimed white people were “misrepresenting” Davis actions, that Davis was a “magical negro” who was going to be held up as an example to black people.
Then he went and yelled at Davis’ in his AMA, IIRC. Davis says he gets a lot of crap for his actions.
I like how the folks who say things like that don’t realize Davis is held up as an example to everyone, not just black people. Like a lot of bigots, they assume everyone is as bigoted as they are.
Good on him for actively seeking out people who hate him and befriending them. But a lot of people don’t have the mental fortitude for that. Holding him up as an example of how everyone should deal with bigots spewing hate is not always helpful.
The people who seem to hate him also tend to hate the idea of just walking away from bigots. Not giving them the attention they crave. Some of his critics are outright antifa supporters, which is actively counterproductive.

It’s a great thing that this gentleman is doing, he’s truly noble and honorable and worthy of praise and respect.
It’s also frustrating and infuriating that black people have to negotiate our humanity with our oppressors and reason with white folks who hate us simply for existing, hoping to appeal to their humanity and convince them to find it in their hearts to consider us worthy of life and peace. And if we don’t want to do this because we don’t think racists are worthy of our time, or if we grow tired of trying to reason with people who’d see us dead and buried for no reason at all, we can always expect to be talked down to and lectured by “well-meaning” MSNBC liberals who think we all should have the same unending patience as Daryl. I mean it shouldn’t be our job to ensure the redemption of those who wanna lynch us bc we’re so busy trying not get murdered by cops unjustly, but apparently it is.
We literally don’t owe Klansmen a debate on our existence. This man is doing a great thing and I hope he continues. But we all aren’t him and to expect us all to bottle up our justified anger and to put the burden of rehabilitating racist white people on US is utter bullshit. But it’s also expected from white people, though.
Just about every person in the thread above, who are making the argument that black people should try “being nicer” to the fucking KKK - they’re white guys who regularly blog about inalienable gun rights under the #gunblr tag. So LOL pardon me for not taking “friendly” advice from a racist gun nut.
Any white person who tells black people to expend even more of our valuable time and energy, and be nicer to racists, because maybe, possibly, perhaps, you just might that one in a million lucky negro who change their minds? That person is—wittingly or otherwise—a White supremacist, telling black people to be more docile and obedient, even in the face of extreme racism.
Here’s my honest $0.02 about this: While Bro. Davis’s actions may be sincere (though, this story and matter reaks of a manufactured semblance of peace between the races. Either from the government or the U.S. wealthy/oligarchy), I highly doubt the transformation of those white men and women that “abandoned” the KKK. The primary question one has to ask is: “Did they abandon their white supremacist ideology?” My speculative answer is “No.”. It’s waay better to see and know your enemy than not to know.

This is so vile and sinister.

Why does this not have more notes? Reblog!
If this news is real (& not fake news), then this is just additional proof of the endless evil of white men and white women and other non-blacks (asians, arabs/persians, etc.) towards us.
This is Hollywood 2018. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
