I’d have to really let the concept roll around in my head for a while. But just my initial reaction after watching is that I tend to agree.
But I dunno that most people allow for that sort of nuance, which is a shame.
And DEFINITELY not most people here on ABW.

I don’t think she was referring to that. I think it’s more of being around destructive black folks? I only see that because is being around foolish folks and getting caught up in their BS?
That’s my take on it.

How can you have a solidarity without a community?
The first step of any political struggle is organization.
Who we are, what where we come from, what are we fighting for.
The problem with majority of Black spaces and organizations is that they lack community. People talk about community when they really talking about a population. I would define community as a pro-social network between a multitude of people.
A lot of Black people struggle for concepts and ideas and not actual material political goals that would improve the life and status of Black people. Black love is an idea, the material political goal of that would be, how can we create upwardly mobile, intact, Black families. What's love got to do with it? A Black family should be considered a political duty if you wanna be serious about it.
Nothing can exist without community. Your individual sentiment means nothing. It don't matter how many Black revolutionary books you read, how many causes you support, without a community, you are nobody. People gonna ask where you from, who you represent and what you stand for and you say Black people and ain't no Black community, you look like a fool. Even criminals know this, why you think they make gangs?
A community is first and foremost exclusionary. In regards to what the sister said about Bill Cosby, um, I ain't fighting for rights for rape apologists. My idea of Black community, doesn't mean all Black people. Some people gotta go. Weird ass semantics, internet lawyers that wanna argue about whether or not Bill Cosby a rapist, can stay the fuck over there. The man said what he said.
Them reactionary hotep types can kiss my ass, I don't wanna be with them in any situation.

Doesn't matter. That's the kinda shit folks say to justify being detached
