can I make this a thread? this is a big discussion.
i've been leaning on hurting lately....
our conditions and progress might have been stunted early, but had we'd endured, i think we'd be much stronger and more conscious by this generation
i feel like black americans as a whole would control more wealth had we stayed segregated....
i could be wrong, but i've been leaning on that lately

Tough question because it starts in the middle. If the integration didn't come from slavery and forced segregation then it probably wouldn't have hurt us. But if you are isolating it then it hurt more of us than it helped. But are we truely intergrated?

I think it's a combination of both. It helped because, in a way, it helped to dispel the ideals in our ancestors that the white man were Gods walking on earth. Once we began to live around them as "equals", then we began to see it was all false and that were are just as capable, if not more, as they are. Our ancestors were dehumanized to such a point that they treated their seed as they were treated in a lot of cases. It took time, but i think some are waking up. But that seed of self hate was so deeply rooted, some slept pass the wake up call.
But i also think it hurt us because it out us back in isolation and hurt the community that was built out of necessity. Double edges sword for real.

My father went through this exact same thing. As a black man growing up in the heavily segregated south in the 50s he mythicized CAC's. When he joined the non segregated marines in the 60's he realized these white boys were slow, weak, and stupid.
Hurt.
When blacks were segregated, they had their own businesses to cater to their needs. Especially since Blacks couldn't use anything white owned.
Now black owned businesses are hard to come by.

Definitely hurt. Shooting up schools, bad hygiene, violent, hatred against others because of skin differences we didn't do carry out like that. Blackwallstreet, Rosewood, places like that were burned to the ground because of lies by white women.

A Black owned town in Oklahoma was burned to the ground by rioting white people carrying out their nature. Why the riot? Because a white woman said she was raped by a black man and of course that never happened.

Du basically posted what it was but here's a sad fact.............That town was and is the only US town that bombs was dropped on.
The movie Rosewood was loosely based on Black Wallstreet and another city in NC
