It's trash and all the real movers and shakers in the Reparations movement stay off of it.I've been sitting in a Twitter space that suppose to be about reparations but continues to bring up personal beefs. This is why I stayed off the platform. Is Twitter Spaces a tool or a place for ego??
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.Twitter Spaces is just a tool. If the Spaces devolve into a bunch of insults and beefs it is due to the people and not the platform.
These platforms are great for organizing but then you have to go outside & do something about it.Our reparations fight is a political fight, not a social media one. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. are for entertainment, not results.
You’ve always been 100 about this. Every since we started chopping it up you ain’t been a twitter fingers type dude.Our reparations fight is a political fight, not a social media one. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. are for entertainment, not results.
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've been sitting in a Twitter space that suppose to be about reparations but continues to bring up personal beefs.

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.It's trash and all the real movers and shakers in the Reparations movement stay off of it.
Yep. Which is just what this system wants. We are doing their dirty work for them unfortunately.Twitter Spaces is just a tool. If the Spaces devolve into a bunch of insults and beefs it is due to the people and not the platform.
When anyone actually goes outside and does something this same horde attacks them. It's the most frustrating thing I've ever seen.These platforms are great for organizing but then you have to go outside & do something about it.
Which is what these Twitter troublemakers aren't gonna do (not talking about the good ones).These platforms are great for organizing but then you have to go outside & do something about it.
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.Our reparations fight is a political fight, not a social media one. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. are for entertainment, not results.
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 am very skeptical of reparations talks on Twitter.

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.When anyone actually goes outside and does something this same horde attacks them. It's the most frustrating thing I've ever seen.
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.I listen in on a few and they are, if they block the known trolls, bootlicks,Sambos, They takeaway from the conversation when they enter these spaces
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.I agree.

Yep. We won't get anything done without people putting in the real work. Talking on social media ain't gonna cut it.I'm not trying to be liked or loved by any of these folks.

They are doing a great job in creating entertainment value. People who aren't doing much stay glued to those Twitter spaces.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.

Because of the rules and the people. The individuals who have showed up here with that energy got warned or banned.Here is my question regarding the Twitter and Clubhouse spaces or whatever with reparations discussions.
These is my questions: What is the purpose of the discussion(s)?
I have seen/heard some of them on youtube primarily from Dee Tubman but others. I noticed one big thing. The discussion on there is vitriolic and often abusive and divisive. The same reparations thread on here almost completely opposite. I haven't gone through every single post and page on here so it could have been at one time but every time I've been on the reparations thread on here its respectful.
So my follow up question why is there a stark difference on two topics on the very same thing?
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.So, what is the benefit of the twitter and clubhouse spaces then? An argument can be made for trying to convert blacks who haven't bought into reparations to buy into it. But a counter argument can be made that the reparations movement will get so big they will hear it and hear the (valid) arguments for it.
If I believe in reparations then what is the point? I'm trying to understand that genuinely.
A very fitting name for the do nothings. Do nothing men.The Real House Husbands of Twitter.
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.So, what is the benefit of the twitter and clubhouse spaces then?

PossiblyIt can be both. Much of it can be ego driven and that os where the problems start.
Yep. A digital place.Dave Chappelle said it best....."Twitter isn't a Real Place..." that should answer the question. B1✊🏿
Which is in itself stupid. One white guy in Chicago warrants so much attention and has zero wins.They in spaces arguing about that white boy piedmont. Nyheim is a staunch loyalist and defender of the white boy
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.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.

That's a new one.I think it’s both. I’ve listen to some good ones that had me emailing certain political ppl and than I heard others that was more of a gag & show.
Twitter spaces have replaced "church". Instagram is the "club" and Facebook is the "mall".
Facts!!!!
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.When I say everyone. I mean everyone. Even here on 6ZEROS. There is a Pecking Order. Like it or not, we need to respect that order or we all doom ourselves to chaos. Not popular....yes. Necessary for victory....yes.
If a lot of people read the Compensatory Code….they would call Neely Fuller off code.Remember Neely Fuller said if We weren't getting together for something constructive then We shouldn't be getting together.....those spaces aren't constructive....just a place to show boat it's like the new maury show Jerry springer or black soap opera take your pick. I see People with good intentions but it usually devolves into confusion.....Many STILL DONT UNDERSTAND.....B1✊🏿View attachment 6328
when I see 5 hour plus Twitter spaces.....👀💀
