cmblankstareSo we live in a system! meaning we are in someone’s artificial construction of what that person thinks our life should look like…I know there is so many layers to the American distraction of the minds of the original people of the Earth! But I say why if we know this do we still fall for it people who mean us no good!We know this and still can’t bring it together enough to bring a better way of living for ourselves and our kids.it starts with us from A-Z and if we don’t take ourselves seriously enough to take the time to come to the table with a plan then keep eating tree bark and muddy waters and calling it an exquisite meal.🪞🤲🏽

Which 'we' knows this? All 40 some odd million? This reads as if all Black people do. We don't. The vast majority of us in denial and scared as a result of born into a 500 plus year old system of white supremacy that is designed to keep as many of us as possible mentally, emotionally and physically defeated.

    A lot of us are carrying trauma passed down from generation to generation and don’t even know that we are afraid. When you talk to a lot of the older generations and talk to them about defeating white supremacy they instantly tell you to go back to picking the the metaphorical cotton because that’s what life is supposed to be. They do not see the system or what can be, it’s sad but we just have to write them off as a loss.

    When you understand human nature you understand that the average human IS NOT in control of their destiny and it’s by design. Humans are no different than the sheep that will continuously run in a circle following the lead sheep.


    You can’t look to followers and expect them to understand that they control life. We as leaders MUST shepherd our people to the promise lands. White supremacy maintains control by being the de facto leader by killing ours that rise up through the grassroots.

    PEOPLE HAVE TO BE LED.

    We have to give them a reason to follow. We have to show them the value in controlling our destiny over letting others do it for them. We have to show them the value in how dying like Malcolm X is greater than living a full life as Larry Elder. If you are a leader, that’s your muthafuckin job. Excuse my language and not anyone else’s.

    It’s the Black man’s job to get our people galvanized and on a mission that’s in our interest. A dead agendaless people…

    IS
    OUR
    FAULT
    AS
    BLACK
    MEN

    When you look in the mirror you’re looking at the person that is accountable for the mess we are in.

    We were born into it so it may not seem fair but thats irrelevant. You either rise to the occasion or live like a coward.

    Preach!! Preach!! The buck stops with us and even though we have to live with the sins of our father it is on us to rise to the occassion and ensure our children will have a better quality of life than we could imagine. It is our duty.

    It’s the white supremacists doing the blaming and playing the victim. Crime is at a 30 year low! You can open a history book to see who owes who. I have taken responsibility for what I have control over! I’m living my best life with my wife and boys. We’re six figures and the boys are straight A in gifted programs. I’m more worried about the white supremacist terrorism and the white supremacist army in badges threatening to take my wonderful life and family away! I can move out of Chicago. Never lived there in fact, but white supremacy is worldwide. Stay strapped.

    I hear you but none of that changes the fact that the average human is a sheep needing to be led. Those people become flunkies because they are being led by the dominant society and not by Intelligent Black Society. We need to get the sheep to follow a different leader.

    Humanity has a nature of following. This has been true for all time. We have to follow the code. The code of self preservation is the leader. We are quickly approaching critical mass. As we do even the lamen will be calling for Tangibles.

    Best possible answer 🫡. Don’t be a boomer! Honor your legacy! My boys are doing all the things and going to all the places I couldn’t have imagined at their age. Disney? Bruh, all I had was Tailspin, Rescue Rangers, and Duck Tales. My family SURE AF weren’t traveling anywhere for the kids.
