Burns me up! - Cultural genocide

[KMTSista]

Imagine if these young Afrikan warriors used their power to build their communities. They have so much venom and power, spirits of Ogun!

Like I said on another board, this was set up to be this way; to treat our people like lab rats in a cage while those who built the cage sit outside of it and laugh. Burns me the f**k up!

I think there needs to be a worldwide Panther movement

Thanks KMTSista, you are so right. I can't recall which one of out scholars said this, but when asked why do our young Afrikan warriors kill each other, the response was, "They have not been taught to kill anyone else."

Just think where we would be if our warriors protected and was willing to kill and die for our communities like so do for a pair of Nikes or a neighborhood?

We have to get the crack out ofthe hood first. There is nothing more violent then a grandmother to have to sell her body or her grandchildren to get a hit, and for some African American teen to take her money so she can do it again. Drugs bring the guns. Drugs bring the bullets>
The major violence most folks see in our cities is over drug turf.
We just have to have the will to stop it and have the collective resources to employ these young men most of whom are unable to get a legal job due to felonies.

The #1 thing we need in our hoods are for our men to stop running from the kids we create. If we got the men to step up and raise a stand up black man I think you would start to see a huge change just from there. Definitly #2 is get the drugs out of our hoods. The pumping of drugs in communities by our good ole government helped kill us, it helped put violence to a whole nother level. #3 We need to stop leaving our hoods, build our own worlds within this 1. We need that doctor to stay in the hood, we need the successful business men to stay in the hood for some examples of "making it" (the cars, flashy clothes, etc) without doing it illegally. Right now we can't focus on Africa besides sending money to help because our people on a whole right now are on life support here in this country.

you know its funny you mention that because that was the topic of discussion with my last family function that during segregation we had no choice but to be together regardless of status quo, black doctors, lawyers, etc lived in the same communities, now like Simbad said on a Different World "a brotha get a suite and start trippin". Once we "make it", we don't ackowledge where we came from.

I hate to say this (but then again no I don't)......let me be real.........I feel intergation was not for our good.........we didn't see the fine print.

Think about it, I honestly think that intergation was really a conspiracy becaus during the times of segregation, we stood together and faught our battles together, we were building our businesses in our communities, we were climbing out of the pit as a people regardless of outside oppression. Our families were closer, our men respect our women and vice versa, then all of a sudden they say "Come on black people, we sorry, come join us in our communities and schools.......and yes you can sit at the front of the bus", when in their minds they are thinking quietly "oh no, these black people are climbing out of mental slavery, sticking together and accomplishing things. The men are setting examples, the women are taking care of their homes, they are no longer mentally castrated, so what can we do........oh! I know, let's pretend to intergrate with them so we can secretly separate them". Then to add insult to injury, here comes yt woman screaming "women's lib" to women who were never oppressed by their own men.

Conspiracy! Those Mo Fo's never intergrated with us, never have and never will, they just opened the cage, or as someone said, expanded the plantation.

MLK was a great man and I don't wanna take away from what he did but he helped get us here where we are. You right we had everything in our neighborhoods, well we had no choice but we had everything all the way up to the black wall street. When we was doing all this marching they were laying the ground work for what we see now. As soon as we figure this out they have another plan they will unleash to try and mess us up again. We started walking out of our hoods walking pass Claira's Kitchen to walk to Applebee's and Claira's Kitchen food was far superior to Applebee's but we did because we could and Claira's eventually closed down. We used to be able to see the Doctor or the Lawyer drive up on the block in a big Cadillac with some big gangsta whitewalls and we'd be like ah mayne I wanna be a doctor when I grow up, now all we have is the Drug Dealers rollin up on some 22's.
