The Cookout

[Drakbluud]

It’s occurred to me that there is a new tactic to be employed against the racist regime— another form of mirroring their actions to frustrate their movements.

As Black Americans, we must oppose loudly anything that may benefit anyone non-black or anti-black, especially white.

Sounds simple, I know. But think how they try to say, when we demand Reparations— “Black people don’t deserve it”…

Whenever they make demands for monetary compensation for anything, we will say the same.

“We need a lawsuit/settlement for East Palestine Ohio!”
“You don’t deserve it”
“How dare you, outrageous, how could you possibly..!”
“In the same way we ‘don’t deserve’(Reparations), so it can be for you.”

We should have been doing this. I one hundred percent agree.

it sounds like more distraction to me. With this type of tactic Black people will be focused on everyone else’s issues instead of solving our own. We need to be think about what we need to do a people.

We cannot be passive spectators to life anymore. We need active contributors to the timeline of history.

The issue I have is what happens if we cause an uproar and they still do what they want? We just wasted our time when we could have been doing something more productive.

Agree. If we don't do what we need to, the gap will widen.

Neely Fuller has told us we should strive to be productive every day.

My experience what drives white folks the craziest when it comes to us is when as a collective we show we don't care for their approval or need their validation.
When we simply do us unapologetically. I spent some time in a certain Asian country. We started our FB page for us. Addressed questions, needs, major or minor. There were all kinds of pages for all kinds of things regarding expats: vegans, gays, kosher foods/synagogue, whatever, no one cared until we started our own ish and white folks were 'lurking in numbers' and one of them got brave and said 'This page is reverse racism, what if whites started a whites only page'. The admin said 'Who cares? Why are you here?'

5, 6 years ago, TBA, Tariq didn't get white trolls. Now they get them regularly. Because not only are we talking among ourselves, its unapologetically just for us and we don't give a sh*t what they think. And we know its effective because they can't help but to come on and troll. We talk openly about the real truth and its so unabashedly truthful, they get triggered.

Doing us, being B1, helping each other is the scariest thing to them.

And we can't allow them to change what our history really is! Trying to change the history of who the Anti-Blacks really are & what they really did to our Ancestors, is intolerable & NOT allowed!

Oh I dunno, causing uproars can be beneficial sometimes…

Can’t argue there. Though I’d caution against the notion that it all boils down to their base instinct of seeing us do our own… in the past 3 years hate crime against Black Americans has gone up, or at least that’s what it looks like— I’d pay more attention to things they don’t want noticed, like stuff that doesn’t make MSM news but they get mad about. There’s a lot they won’t show, due to embarrassment.

Unapologetic is a Beautiful state of Being. ✊🏿💯

You know which Blacks get caught unawares? Those that aren't into B1, black empowerment and don't listen to any of the influencers. Anyone can be caught out at any time. Any of us can. TBA can. But its very difficult for them if you are on alert.

I'm not trying to blame the victims but I notice when there are black women or black kids that are victims and has gone rival, they seem totally unware and unprepared. The sad fact is most of us think we can skate through under the radar of white supremacy and the sad fact is white supremacy is often crimes of opportunity. That black guy who accepts the invite to go camping for the weekend with some white boys. That single black mother who lets her kid go to a sleep over with white folks she doesn't know well. That young brother walking through a white cul de sac and getting jammed up by white men asking him what is he doing here, etc.

You, being on code and aware, are wary of possible problems before it happens.
