    There are lots of people who remain uninformed because they don't know how to use computers and/or smart phones or have a limited base of how to use them. For example may only know how to use them for Facebook, texting and calling etc. !

    How big of a role do you think computer literacy plays in awareness of important information affecting the black community?

    We’ve been suffering from the same issues for 400 years, if they haven’t figured it out by now, they never will.

    They remain uninformed because they don’t want to be informed. If you give them a computer they’ll use it to look up worldstar videos, the shade room, and real housewives of atlanta. Some people are old and stupid AF your concern is noble but they are of no benefit to Black society. There is no excuse for ignorance…Obama turned lifeline to a smartphone program….there is no excuse not to connect to the internet.

    Your quest to save the old generation who sold us out, is more admirable than their willful failure to secure the future of black America. They auctioned off what should have been our legacies and birthrights for their proximity to whiteness and white acceptance.

    You're a gem these old niggas don't even realize they don't deserve. What I would say is the children are our future. These old niggas are going to be dead soon, meaning they won't be alive long enough to actually benefit from whatever work we accomplish. I know you want to redeem them and that's commendable as all hell but, we need to focus on the youth that are coming behind us.

    They'd use it to look up info for their white proximity white acceptance confirmation bias. That's their agenda and it always was. They sold us out and that's what they would use any newfound computer literacy for. Any opportunity they get to undercut Young Black Americans progress they will take it without fail.

    There was some 80 year old lady that called into the Business saying her race was colored on her birth certificate. She held that term colored in high esteem as if it made her something different. It was so pitiful.

    The first thing I learned about computers was how to build them, the first one I ever owned, I built it. That was damn near 20 years ago. Learning how to pair CPU's with ram,motherboards ect. Learning how to tinker with the bios, overclocking and stress testing.
    It's a lot easier now, but a lot more expensive.
    As far as software, I've messed with everything from photoshop to 3DMax, raident, unreal engines ect (game development) I lost interest after some personal things going on in my life.
    But I think every #FBA should have basic knowledge on how to build, troubleshooting your computer and learn how to operate basic programs. Excel, Word ect.

    80 years old..... and she didn't have any trouble maneuvering around YouTube, finding the channel and calling in to the show to say that madness. That generation of people have no self esteem or self worth outside of what white folks gave them. It's the reach and the psychological power of white supremacy when you're a defeated people imo.
