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
Nah, you good. Never outta bounds. lol
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
I'm the last person to deny someone understanding and/or patience. You, yourself, know how hot blooded I can be. We've gone back and forth, and you know I require a lot of patience.
vids by 2 people who are hustling the community about the possibility of black people getting reparations.
Yeah, I thought I was the only one suspect of their intentions. Idk, it's not so much the reparations "hope" they're giving, but it feels like they're building the movement to enhance their own voice. Like they tryna get theirs and leave everyone else behind or sunthin'. Mostly a feeling of mine.
He believes in the fantasy, right?
I give him a little more credit. He believes in doing something to get something else done. Whether it has a

This election gone be different this time, they say. For real, for real.
Trump's prolly gonna win again, in all honesty. If Biden wins, I would def be surprised.
But vote anyway because black people died for your right to do so.
Yeah, it feels eerie when people in our own community say it. Like, they're desperate to keep you on the plantation. They didn't die for us to be in this state. To say so is an insult to what they were truly trying to achieve.
I will be telling you an untruth if I say I didn't get it---people holding on to the fantasy.
People need something to hold onto. Even if it seems out of reach and contrary to all reason and logic and history.
what is left for us to do?
Yeah, I think most people know, but most people are also scared.
but when we hide---we, as black men especially, we can justify why we can't protect the Village
Black women have been apart of that push of believing in changing a system that was built perfectly for the oppressor, and not the oppressed.
