It's trash and all the real movers and shakers in the Reparations movement stay off of it.
They're using it all wrong. Hamster wheel mentality. I'm sorry but some of these folks are Tariq's children. They can't think without saying his name.
These platforms are great for organizing but then you have to go outside & do something about it.
You’ve always been 100 about this. Every since we started chopping it up you ain’t been a twitter fingers type dude.
I am very skeptical of reparations talks on Twitter. It appears that everytime we start having productive talks, somebody always comes in and derails the conversation. Some people may be disinfo agents via the government who are meant to derail the convo. Others may have big egos. Then there are those who try very hard to be logical as to what our people need.
I think this is true. Some tried it since Twitter is a big platform. But it turns into a screaming match and people talking about irrelevant stuff.
Yep. Which is just what this system wants. We are doing their dirty work for them unfortunately.
When anyone actually goes outside and does something this same horde attacks them. It's the most frustrating thing I've ever seen.
Which is what these Twitter troublemakers aren't gonna do (not talking about the good ones).
Definitely. I thought social media could be used as a good tool initially. I think others did too, but as they sat and watched conversations constantly get off track, this woke them up to the reality of how social media is.
I'm not trying to be liked or loved by any of these folks. Call me when the reparations information needs to be known or when the white supremacist shows up. All this,"I don't like this or that person is goofy".
I agree. Anyone that isn't Tariq Nasheed is subjected to total interigation by his sub-bosses. That's not fair. Is Tariq the leader or not? If we all don't have a say;then who does is my point. Tariq has put in a lot of work in this movement but it seems like a monopoly on reparations & who can or can't be at the forefront. Personally I don't like attention. I'm on Al Hayman time.
They use all those folks to add entertainment value. Understanding the psychology of most Black people in this era is a useful tool to create soapbox monopolies.
People want it this way too. They don’t want it organized, productive, and structured which is why they got mad and said I was imposing Chinese style censorship on 6ZEROS for having rules and decorum.
Yep. We won't get anything done without people putting in the real work. Talking on social media ain't gonna cut it.
They are doing a great job in creating entertainment value. People who aren't doing much stay glued to those Twitter spaces.
The Real House Husbands of Twitter.
Because of the rules and the people. The individuals who have showed up here with that energy got warned or banned.
Because they are entertaining themselves. It’s also an excuse to not do any real work. If arguing online is advancing the mission and the next best option is getting up, going to city hall, and protesting the answer is clear. Twitter becomes ”the work” and they consider themselves advocates.
A very fitting name for the do nothings. Do nothing men.
The purpose is allegedly to provide an online space for useful discourse. It is so much toxicity on those 2 platforms. I don't even use Clubhouse anymore. I use Twitter because there are some folks on it I follow. But I quickly engage with their tweets and get back off.
Which is in itself stupid. One white guy in Chicago warrants so much attention and has zero wins.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND, means exactly that, but it doesn't stop there & NEVER will for me, not even after I excell to the next level.
It’s only a pecking order if you listen to their shows because their reach doesn’t go much further than that. The reason I believe that this site received so much flack recently is because if successful it will change the pecking order.
