I assume you’re talking on a collective level?Having your own business is just like having your own nation! Why would you want to be under someone when you can control your own destiny
Owning Business = Having Nation
the real question is why do you think that is easy? guess how many nations fall under their own debt?That not the norm bro! you just throwing up a couple success stories to try to make a point when that's the norm.
You reminded me of those 'you can do it to' people who go around selling hope to people having seminars and taking peoples money .
The reason for having wanting to have our own nations is pretty simple and self explanation.
Why are you against Black people having their own nation ?
there is a step process.Having your own business is just like having your own nation! Why would you want to be under someone when you can control your own destiny

there was a war too if i remember correctlyPeople do realize that there was an effort to give African Americans a homeland in Africa right? That's what Liberia was supposed to be. Of course, as it is with most things the U.S. does regarding race, it was fucked up. The African Americans and natives in the area were very different and didn't really get along. The U.S. just kinda said "figure it out" and left it. Spoiler: They didn't figure it out and for a period of time Liberia was labelled the worst place on earth.

Nope but y'all are bombarding me. I might have to do a thread about the truth about libera
Yes on a collective levelI assume you’re talking on a collective level?
Well yeah my point still stands.Yes on a collective level

so you are against me telling people you can do it...but you are saying we can do it.
whats the difference?
i say...you can start a business...you say we can start a country.
i dont need to take people money but our people do need hope. so you rather me throw up a gang sign? shoot a few niggas?
since when is offering hope or encouragement a bad thing...since in our current environment we are beat down?
how you gonna get people to want to even follow a dream of starting a new nation without encouraging them?
where you want to go wont happen without people like me.
there is a step process.
there are levels.
owning a business and running your own nation takes a certain mindframe.
i think you are overestimating how many lazy ass people will want to come and do nothing vs those who will break their necks to have it succeed.
structure is needed. otherwise them same niggas who is fucking up our hoods will fuck our new nation.

Liberia was successful for awhile.
My issue with this post is that you think that us as black people can't learn from our mistake. We can study history and us it as a tool to not make those mistake. Instead of looking in the past and saying we can't do it because it ultimately fail in the past isn't a good mindframe to look at things.
You're playing into the WS hands when you think like this
i am not sure if you understand the freedom owning or having your own gives someone.I don't think it's easy and I know its a process. You asking my like I don't know this.
I got two problem with your solution. For one you make it seem like if we get it together here (we have before)our problem with white supremacy would go away. And to add to that you think it's a long term solution when it only a short term it should be a stepping stone not the end game
How can you be not be economic depend on white people when we live america? We don't control the land infarstruce or industries here
When I say you selling hope and what I mean by that is you would have people think that starting a business would solve our problems. We would still have to get money from white people to get rich and they're not going to spend they dollars with us like that. They don't want us to succeed here.

As a great philosopher once asked...could there possibly be two sides?
Do you know what comes from? The perception that women don't know what they want. Black women in America have the unfortunate position of balancing the inheritance of the trickle down results of white feminism aka feminism with the traditional dynamics between men and women.
Traditionally, men lead, protect, and provide. Traditionally, women follow, support, and maintain. But because white men treated their women like shit, the women said "fuck this" and forced the household to shift to "gender equality". The consequence is that black women have to lead, protect, and provide for themselves and black men aren't in a position to take those responsibilities off of their shoulders. And even if they are, the virus of "I don't need no man/niggas ain't shit/I can do bad all y myself" has been woven into society so much that it takes a reconditioning of the mind to make a black relationship work.
