COMMUNITY Social Justice Thread: R.I.P. George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor & now Tyre Nichols

What are the black businesses in the black community areas where black folks live, or frequent?

Tire shops/mechanic shop, usually a car wash/detailed shop a nigga in the hood got going, maybe, it's probably just a open spot with 2 or 3 hedges/covers, and if it's part of a building, it's being leased in most cases, a barbershop, maybe a nail salon and they are renting/leasing the building, a mom and pop soul food spot, Big Boy's Homemade Burgers or Rena's Soul Kitchen, (maybe a tinted shop/sound system spot, and that's a stretch, most of them are owned by Asians and white boys

So what are we really destroying, those people can pick back up and find another building and re-group with the exception of maybe the mom and pop restaurant, they may actually own the building, but insurance would take care of their equipment and the building but point being, these are the majority of business that we find in the black community. Rena's Soul Kitchen and Big Boy's Homemade Burgers, I don't see a group of black folks destroying this business if these folks are the cornerstone of the black community, just my opinion.

Let's tell it like it is, and be realistic when we say businesses in the black communities, this isn't an all to be all, but in most black areas, this is what you will find

Can we address this post? I think this really centers the whole argument on looting.

'No Fly Zone' issued for outside agitators in Detroit protests against police brutality

The No Fly Zone is a term created by recording artist Trick Trick to ban music outsiders who disrespect the city. Now that includes protesters.

"I'd like to reinitiate the No Fly Zone to all those folks coming across Eight Mile and county lines to be disruptive in my city,' said Trick Trick, whose given name is Christian Mathis. "I am patrolling these streets daily and I will roll up on you. You aren't going to tear up my city."


That's what the fuck I'm talking about. This the real no fly zone.

I understand it, but all this is going to do is exacerbate the situation.


Meaning, it's all good when we retaliate..........but are we gonna be prepared when they retaliate against us?


Just like they went into those Latin Kings' hood..........the Latin Kings can come to their hood and do the same thing.


And now you've got a full blown war between 2 minority groups with no end in sight.


The same shit that happened......and continues to happen.......in Cali between blacks and mexicans is about to happen in Chicago.


Too many innocent people are gonna be caught in the crossfire.


So, granted, it was inevitable...........but the last thing anybody needs right now.


All the more reason for the governor of Illinois or Trump to send in the military.


And where do you think those military forces will be posted?


Probably not in the Latin Kings' communities.

They started it by attacking innocent black people. Had they just said they were protecting their community and they didn’t attack innocent black people then we wouldn’t be here.
 
It's voting season and most of these politicians are quiet as hell. My feeling is that any politician that isn't coming out condemning what was done, calling for justice, and championing policy proposals to reform the police shouldn't get any votes. That should be made known, and people should be spamming the inboxes of all these politicians until they get off their asses and decide to do something.

I'm about to look online to see what the black politicians in my area have been saying/doing before I criticize them for doing/saying nothing

There's one in particular I'm looking for because I already don't like him
 
The fuck is going on!! Some niggas have sunken to really low depths.

That latin gang in chicago ain't doing that shit to protect their neighborhood.

They using the situation of what's going on to do some shit to black people they've always wanted to do but didn't have the heart to just go outside and do that shit because of the backlash and retaliation they would face. Now they're just hiding behind the protests and looting to do some racist shit to random black people under the name of their gang and get away with the shit like they good people.

The fact that some people even black people falling for that bullshit is sad but not surprising.

lol Dog you writing your own narrative here. I'm not even on that tip. If you want eye for an eye, go for it, just be consistent. If you down for fighting dirty, you can't whine about it when you're losing.

At the end of the day, my original point stands. We can't trust any of these groups to have mercy on us, so we can do things like destroy our own resources causing us to have to rely on the mercy of others.

Attacking random innocent black people is wrong. Try rationalizing with the others to see things from black peoples point of view.

They can't just speak on it though. They have to be talking about pushing policy.

I just been replying to all these emails I been getting about voting with this site:

www.joincampaignzero.org

Campaign Zero

www.joincampaignzero.org www.joincampaignzero.org

If they ain't talking about doing any of that, I'm not interested in hearing from them.
