And I'm seriously confused. Especially since I peeped another thread he posted in about "killing white people".
It's not really confusing when you think about the facts. You killing it with your keen observations and adept analysis regarding this issue.
It's not you.
What I'm about to say is generally speaking so I beg your apologies in advance beautiful Queen if I should go out of bounds...but I think what may be "confusing" you about the obvious contradictions of that poster is your willingness to extend the benefits of understanding and patience to those with deficits in higher levels of awareness.
But that's consequential, not primary, to what the real underlying issue is. Think about this. That poster constantly posts and basically jams down our throats vids by 2 people who are hustling the community about the possibility of black people getting reparations. He pushes that. That's a fact and not an attack.
So what may we infer? We know what and who he rolls with. He believes in the fantasy, right? Again, those are facts and not an attack. He approves of the messages in those vids.
Add this to the mix. That poster posts those vids of the "get yo reparations" leaders right? Here's what's interesting. Nearly all the information they have in their vids demonstrate ( to my approval) how both Democrats and Republicans have done
nothing for black people since 1619 except keep us oppressed socially and economically. Facts. Look at the articles they be posting in their videos. That's where I agree with them at.
So think about it. They talk about how both Democrats and Republicans have failed black people since 1619. But then they offer "hope" that the same system which employs the Dems and Repubs (and which has been failing us since 1619) that system, they argue, can make us whole--- if we vote the right white politician.
This election gone be different this time, they say. For real, for real.
But then they say we've never gotten anything for our vote from either the Dems or the Repubs, right? In other words, if blacks just vote for the right white Dem (or Repub), we gone get them reparations in 2020---even though 400 years have shown that this event is unlikely to happen. But vote anyway because black people died for your right to do so.
What da fizzle?
I will be telling you an untruth if I say I didn't get it---people holding on to the fantasy. At this point, I'm speaking in general and not pointing anyone out. But think about this. If our people, especially black men, were to admit that nothing has changed since 1619 and that the good white folk in America ain't gone cut us out an apology check then, consider this beautiful Queen Angela, what is left for us to do?
Put another way, we gotta put our big boy pants on, right? If we man up and say we still enslaved in similar ways like our ancestors, then what is required of real men?
Yea, yall get it.
But see, instead, many of us hide behind and cloak ourselves in emotive words and illogical catch phrases like "hope" and "Democrats are better than Repubs" and "just wait a little longer" and "white racism is worse under Trump" and ish like that. Why? Again, not pointing anyone out in particular, but when we hide---we, as black men especially, we can justify why we can't protect the Village and more especially our children and our precious hearts like you Queen Angela.
