    Do you know any white liberals who push any and every movement to appear “woke”? Do you think they are sincere? We don’t think so as we explain in this excerpt:
    The liberals, in their new found sense of confidence, started speaking on our behalf about racial issues, complete with plans to find short term solutions, while striving for the ultimate goal of dismantling systemic racism. Many of us would see this manifested in our jobs as diversity training seminars, newly created Urban or Ethnic or “whatever-the-hell” diversity outreach committees and obvious affirmative action hires in departments commonly dominated by whites. Eventually, these conversations -- being led and orchestrated by whites with no input from black people -- started to get intertwined with other issues, but namely the white supremacist stalwarts of LGBT+ issues and Feminist concerns.
    They defend the power structure by pretending to be our ally and then use our relationship to redirect our angst away from white supremacy.

    We explore this topic in greater detail in this piece written by @HailCzr85.

    Yes, most of them are. I would argue that the white people who actually give a damn are too busy to be out there in the streets and on social media cause they have been working to make a difference and help black communities. These people are just trying to get praise. Like the dude who shows up to church every Sunday to get praise and goes home to beat his kids and his wife. These people are fake and have zero interest in making changes. They just want to feel important cause nothing else in their lives has any meaning. They need to stop using blacks as a token of self-righteousness. It is pathetic and degrading. They like to point at the white and scream "white supremacy" when the far left is just as bad if not worse. F all these woke white liberals.

    @HailCzr85 That was a good read and breakdown of virtue signaling. A lot of us need this information.

    I really can not understand what black people do not get. It's like we're deaf, dumb, and blind. It's really getting to me at this point.

    I noticed if Jr. High that white people and other non blacks favored black people who were coons. Period. Even if the cooning was light, unintentional or misunderstood, they were still coons.

    I have my own personal feelings about what leads to this coon behavior, but I'm sure it's more than I could ever guess. 2 major factors are low esteem, and the presence of weak men or no men in your life. And that goes for men and women. Sorry ladies, I'm an intelligent high born confident proud feminine outspoken black woman, and I don't want to be a man, but women just can't bring what men bring to the table. And even if you see a woman like myself, who seems like she can bring that fire with her, it's usually because she, like myself, was taught by a strong man. Now I could be wrong! Maybe I am. But the women in my life did next to nothing for me when it came to instilling a sense of self preservation, loyalty, and social intelligence.

    I run my home in a very different manner than the women in my family ran theirs. And every morning I wake up, I think about my father and how when I was 8 years old, my teacher asked me to present to the class what my father did for a living. I stood up in front of all of those kids and told them, "My dad puts the sun in the sky", and no one could tell me any different. My teacher asked, "why do you say that?" I replied, "Every morning my dad gets up and it's dark outside. Then he gets in his car and drives to work. Then the sun comes up". My teacher told me that was amazing and my father works very hard. That same day I asked my father what he did at work. He told me that he was a truck driver. I was always so proud of him. No one could have told me that he didn't put the sun in the sky. He's gone now, but I like to wake up with the sun and think about him before I start my day. It gives me strength.

    I say all of this to say, that strong men are necessary and give life to the community through hard work, ethics and pride. Because of my father, I never felt that I needed white people to walk with me, because I never saw that he needed them. I always felt like black people had everything we needed inside of us. Of course if you find white people and inch, they will take a mile, that's what they do. They think being black is like being a tree, a gay person, or a misunderstood book. They do not and will not ever see black people in our greatness and fullness. That is for us to see.

    We are asking white people to care about us, so that we can start to care for ourselves and that's embarrassing and degrading. We are asking white people to lead up to no end. What did we think was going to happen?

    I didn't participate in the BLM movement because I don't see it as anything different than the LGBT movement. It's propaganda meant to make white people feel like they are doing something, while we suffer. We've got to stop this need for approval for non blacks. It permeates our culture and families to the highest degrees and it's detrimental to our success as a people.

    We need hard, intelligent, purpose driven leadership from men and women. Too many women are not giving their daughters the attention and guidance they need. And too many men do not understand how important they are to the family structure, even though they themselves ache from not having a father.

    This lostness is getting worse with social media because black people decided that we were going to get online and act like fools instead of using social media to communicate and build with one another. 😒

    I've come to the conclusion that the majority of us are anti black, self hating, white worshipping people that love to entertain, cry, beg, be hopeless, dance, sex sex sex, and pretend that we aren't in the very situation we're in. I'm really ready to move on from these type of black people. Cutting white people off is not a problem for me. Black people at this point are presenting as a problem, in my humble opinion.

    From what i heard a black man created it then he stepped down.Im not sure for what reason

    Herstory​

    In 2013, three radical Black organizers — Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi — created a Black-centered political will and movement building project called #BlackLivesMatter. It was in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman.

    As organizers who work with everyday people, BLM members see and understand significant gaps in movement spaces and leadership. Black liberation movements in this country have created room, space, and leadership mostly for Black heterosexual, cisgender men — leaving women, queer and transgender people, and others either out of the movement or in the background to move the work forward with little or no recognition. As a network, we have always recognized the need to center the leadership of women and queer and trans people. To maximize our movement muscle, and to be intentional about not replicating harmful practices that excluded so many in past movements for liberation, we made a commitment to placing those at the margins closer to the center.

    mjnegroplease




    We are expansive. We are a collective of liberators who believe in an inclusive and spacious movement. We also believe that in order to win and bring as many people with us along the way, we must move beyond the narrow nationalism that is all too prevalent in Black communities. We must ensure we are building a movement that brings all of us to the front.

    We affirm the lives of Black queer and trans folks, disabled folks, undocumented folks, folks with records, women, and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. Our network centers those who have been marginalized within Black liberation movements.

    The call for Black lives to matter is a rallying cry for ALL Black lives striving for liberation.

    Why do people act as if black people don't care when a gay black person is harmed? We do care, at least I believe that most of us do. We just don't care that you're gay.

    I do think there is a small minority of black people who verbally attack or harass gays, I do think that needs to stop. I think the best way to go about things is to ignore people who want the wrong type of attention. Do not take them too seriously or validate their behavior by arguing with them about it.

    We’ll they do know it’s bullshit but they’re not there to spread the truth. They are there to divert the conversation from the murder of Black people at the hands of police to something that is aimless and meaningless. When you read BLM’s mission statement it says jack ish about fighting white supremacy, it’s all about fighting Black men.

    Yes I've seen their website and it's confusing. I knew when I saw so many white people involved that it was garbage 🗑.

    So what happens after black people accept and celebrate homosexuality? How does that improve anything for the masses of us? I don't get what they want. I feel like I'm being attacked and sexually harassed at this point. The transmission boy girl movement is an attack on reality and I'm tired.

    They want the system of White Supremacy to stay in place as is. The organization is not a real org...it's a puppet org backed by white corporations to steer our narrative. It sees that our eyes are on the prize and pointing at White supremacy and so BLM is there to cause us to in-fight. So instead of focusing on the government Black LGBT and Women fight Black Heterosexual men.

    Look at our article here: scroll down to "Alternative Sexuality" you'll see how these BLM people think.

    I remember when they had on that website that nuclear families were a bad thing and need to be dismantled.

    Even the slogan Black Lives MAtter is in my opinion subservient and pandering. We may as well be screaming "See Our Humanity!" My biggest beef with my parents is that all my life growing up they told me "everything was everything love everybody, everybody equal," when they should've told me that there is no such thing as equal and we can't be equal to thems people because we are BETTER than those people. But they know even less about being FBA than I did growing up. My folks could tell you who sang what, what movie so and so played in, but I didn't learn about (true) Black empowerment until late into my life. Even the Black history classes I took weren't quite up to par. It took me reading Malcolm X before things started to crystallize and wasn't until I was introduced to Steve Cokely, and Dr. Neely Fuller Jr. and of course the ISIS papers before everything made sense. I'm lucky to have made it this far in life being so misinformed and misdirected.

    I would lean toward no. These suburban kids are so idealistic in their view that they really can't be cognizant of the finer tuned portions of the White Supremacy construct. This is the same generation where women are called "menstruating persons" and "girls" have tallywackers and "boys" have "pocketbooks". I didn't grow up in this generation so I can see the construct a little clearer than the people of this generation: black or white. They have grown up in this confusion so they cannot imagine a world without it.

    On the other hand,
    I believe they know something is wrong and they may even have statistics to quote. They will rally and shout loud but they will never help you until it hurts. What I mean by that, is they want the society to be fairer than what it is now, but they wouldn't want it to be completely fair with white supremacy no longer controlling society.

    I fully understand because the young ppl in my family dont know if they are coming or going and dont have any type of direction. More like followers but they have to dress and drive better. Materialism USA.

    I must hand it to the B1 youngsters, they don't want to hear anything about police shootings or they go off. Think if the old Civil Rights crowd wasn't so complacent.

    You hit the nail on the head. They are trying to find the area where white supremacy and Black pacification are at an equilibrium. That’s why they are really good at lip service but hesitant when it comes time for action.

    A lot like to get caught in meaningless intellectual exercises and when you cut to the point and say “reparations” then you see deflection and defensiveness.

    Exactly. I see them like they see us. You can be the token "White friend", but we will drive the bus.

    after George Floyd, Black Lives Matters signs popped up evrywhere like a herpes flare up. white neighbors who'd never talked to me before suddenly were trying to engage me in conversations. one white man even said to me "we thought we'd taken care of the race problem back in the 60's." I just looked at him. His wife came out a minute later with tears in her eyes from watching the protests, talking about "the world is changing."

    fast forward to the elections, and that same man was putting his American Flag on his porch because Democracy had been saved and racism was defeated once again.

    I had an old co-worker who I was friendly with and his neighbor was a Black man whose son worked for the Biden administration. He was trying to figure out why I supported the NBA players striking after the Jacob Blake shooting and what I had against Biden/Harris. He acted stupid when I said that I didn't have the luxury to just turn off my brain and watch a basketball game. I told another neighbor that everyone was so involved now and we had so many allies, but after Biden gets elected then everyone would go back to what they were doing. They acted offended that I thought so low of them, but once Biden got in.......I was proven right. I don't think all white people are racists, but I do think there are a lot of white people who just want to live life and be White. Meaning, they will only care if there is a disruption to their middle class existence. That is why I wholeheartedly agree with Jason Black when he says, "if we can't all be equally comfortable, then we all can be equally UNcomfortable."

    That BLM was a trojan horse org from day one, in a lot of ways I think they failed. The people caught on fast and when they did the LGBT diversion it was called out immediately. It's definitely a new day in Black America.

    I remember when they had on that website that nuclear families were a bad thing and need to be dismantled.

    I may not be interpreting this article correctly. I'm not sure who this ball player is, but in interested to see who else he has called out publicly.

    I'd like to have a discussion about western patriarchy and why that seems to be the one western value that black men want to hold onto. The nuclear family was created to make money in the suburbs and so people would have less kids to push American consumerism. The nuclear family created a lot more work for mothers and fathers. My Filipino neighbors live with their parents. They don't have to pay for daycare. The wife and husband work and dinner is ready when both of them get home. Grandpa enforces rules and grandma helps with the house and kids. Grandpa takes the kids for a walk every morning. Its beautiful. The kids will help the grandparents pay the house off so when they are gone, they can live nicely, and welcome their own grandchildren into their home and live better, with less expenses.
    Even the slogan Black Lives MAtter is in my opinion subservient and pandering. We may as well be screaming "See Our Humanity!" My biggest beef with my parents is that all my life growing up they told me "everything was everything love everybody, everybody equal," when they should've told me that there is no such thing as equal and we can't be equal to thems people because we are BETTER than those people. But they know even less about being FBA than I did growing up. My folks could tell you who sang what, what movie so and so played in, but I didn't learn about (true) Black empowerment until late into my life. Even the Black history classes I took weren't quite up to par. It took me reading Malcolm X before things started to crystallize and wasn't until I was introduced to Steve Cokely, and Dr. Neely Fuller Jr. and of course the ISIS papers before everything made sense. I'm lucky to have made it this far in life being so misinformed and misdirected.
    I totally agree. I have no idea why black parents lie to their kids. Everyone else is sitting around the dinner table calling us monkeys and apes and black people sitting around talking about we're all equal and treat people the way you want to be treated. Instead of telling their kids to be selective about who they talk to and to turn their nose up to the inferiority of the so called oppressor. We send our kids outside to get their feelings hurt knowing damn well that by the age of 10, other races do not allow their kids to associate with black kids. But we're so interested in football and housewives of Atlanta hip hop that we allow the suburbs and schools to parent our children. The best thing black people can do is to raise their kids to be selfish and unforgiving to anyone who isn't black and that's flat. And sometimes they gotta be that way to black people too.

    My mother and I were in Costco with my 4 year old son shopping and this white man walked by and just had to say something to us. He looked at my son and said, "wow you're going to be tall and okay sports huh?" My son doesn't speak a lot, thank goodness, so he just stared at the white man. And my mammy mother is going to come up behind my son and push him forward as if to try and get him to respond to the white man. Then she says to my son, "say yes! I like sports!" She was smiling and grinning and if I hadn't had a beer an hour before I would have had a heart attack. She was trying to get my handsome, quiet, and assertive black son to answer to a complete stranger and smile and coonout for this white man who simply wanted black peoples energy because his wife had probably left him for another man the month before. It was engaging. I told my mom straight up, don't have my son out here thinking he's supposed to smile at white men or any man at that. He doesn't have to answer or talk to anyone.

    Black women need to stop with that weird stuff. This is why i push my son onto his father, because i know that he will pick up some of my habits whether i mean for him to or not. Boys can not learn how to interact with society through their mothers or grandmother's. I have so much more to say about this but I'll leave it there for now

    This happens to me all of the time. When George Floyd happened, I took my kids in the backyard to play and my white neighbors came into their backyard and stared at us with tears in their eyes. My kids were looking at them like "the hell is wrong with them". Then they started giving us gift cards and bottles of wine. I took them as a small token of intent to pay reparations. But they were acting crazy all of 2020 and after the Rittenhouse verdict they went on vacation and I haven't seen them since lol 😆 😂

    This is the most coonerific thing I’ve read all day. What did your mother say after you checked her? Did she correct herself and understand?

    Yes it was really bad. No my mother thinks I'm like Farrakan or something and make too much of things. She doesn't even think she's doing anything wrong. She thinks that's just the way you're supposed to act. She means well I guess, but she doesn't understand that we're not living in Jim Crow anymore

    Those are the people that would have kept us in slavery. Never want to rock the bot go along to get along types.
