Revisiting the whole Pound cake speech. A long read. Lets end this.

[5th Letter]

i beleive my people are better than what they allow themselves to be.

and thats i why i go so hard trying to help and build up people that want it.
i do a ton of shit.....but at a point its like fuck it.....do it for what when niggas dont want shit for themselves.

and me admitting something or a name of a system wont happen.

dont you think these people got enough light?
an alcoholic is admitting something to himself to help himself,.
i can see what a system does.....we can all agree what a system does. we can all agree we need to get past it...we cant agree on how and you want to say it aloud?
well you can wait on that.....i got work to do to help my people past the system we know is there. i want to give them positive messages and statments like Black excellence.

Black people allow themselves to be what exactly? If you refuse to admit what the root cause of a problem is then how are you going to help someone fix the issue? The one way to combat and fight the system is by getting on code and maintaining said code, so if you’re trying to help someone and they asked you a question about racism and it’s effects on black society what are you going to tell them? That it doesn’t exist?

 

[a.mann]

nigga do you have a male that raised you?

did he ever get annoyed at the dumb shit you did? did he yell at you out of frustration?

cut it out.....nigga you aint that soft

Come on, get it off man!
It doesn't has nothing to do with someone being "soft"

Simple fact is no one is going to take kindly to anyone down talking......condescending them, on some Holier Than Thou shit

Especially a motherfucka with more skeletons in his closet than Thanos

Cosby's speech comes across like a "what about black on black crime" kind of argument.

Sociologist Michael Eric Dyson criticized Cosby in his book Is Bill Cosby Right? Or Has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind? (2005). Dyson stated that Cosby built up years of mainstream credibility by ignoring race in his comedy routines and in his television programs, but then chose, with the Pound Cake speech, to address the issues of race by chastising poor blacks rather than by defending them. Dyson says that, in blaming low-income blacks for not taking personal responsibility, Cosby is ignoring "white society's responsibility in creating the problems he wants the poor to fix on their own"

[Babelipsss]

White people started it. Okay now what?

nigga we all got skelotons....so should we all just shut up?

 

[5th Letter]

id simply say...white people fucking up and we gotta get over the hump.

That’s it? Okay..

 

[5th Letter]

White people started it. Okay now what?

We get on code is the next move, to combat systemic white supremacy and racism the first rule is to never talk down on black people in front of white people.

 

[DOS_patos]

That’s it? Okay..

bruh...

do you even know who came with the term?
white people to say they are supreme over all.

fuck would i want to say the for?
to admit its true?

man, no one has supremacy over me...and no one has supremacy over you. Only our other worldly creator.

but i will not give them the power over me like that.
again....repetition.....keep saying it and you begin to believe it.

 

[DOS_patos]

We get on code is the next move, to combat systemic white supremacy and racism the first rule is to never talk down on black people in front of white people.

so.....we do all we can to make them comfortable?

if i need to be checked in front of white people do it.
dont wait...check me then an there.
if im outta pocket enough to say or do fuck shit that embarrasses my people....check me. fuck whos around.
code is never breaking for anyone, anywhere

 

[Babelipsss]

We get on code is the next move, to combat systemic white supremacy and racism the first rule is to never talk down on black people in front of white people.

But talking down on Bill Cosby is okay. Isn't he still black?

 

[5th Letter]

bruh...

man, no one has supremacy over me...and no one has supremacy over you. Only our other worldly creator.

but i will not give them the power over me like that.
again....repetition.....keep saying it and you begin to believe it.

But you repeat over and over how black people aint shit so you must believe that to be true right? Again it goes back to what I previously stated and that is white supremacy is the problem, they rule everything around us they’ve made laws and passed bills to subjugate us and deprive us of resources, yes I know some black people ended up making money and becoming rich but we saw that being rich won’t save you word to Bill Cosby, they violated every constitutional rule just to convict Cosby, but you’re sitting here telling me that you can’t acknowledge the existence of white supremacy? Stop being in denial. Let’s acknowledge the problem and we can discuss ways to get on code to combat the problem.

5) He talked about our names, so we should name our kids European names because we have an American identity that gets casually thrown to the wayside by the dominant society? No, we should have a right to name our children whatever cultural value we give to them. If we want to name our kids African names so be it, we have a right to do so and I think it's healthy. Also, he seems islamicphobic as well. Black muslims have raised a lot of good black men and women and to attack them because they have a different religion, but whats the difference between naming a child a middle eastern name and a european name? You ain't them.

Here's the problem with what you're saying:

These parents are NOT giving their children African names. They're basically throwing letters against a wall and seeing what sticks. Personally I wouldn't have a problem if we were giving our children names with African origins like we were starting to do in the 70's, but that ain't what's happening nowadays and you know that.

Point of fact though: The Middle East has always had Black folks there natively.

 

[5th Letter]

But talking down on Bill Cosby is okay. Isn't he still black?

He made his bed. Once he decided to talk down on black people everything became fair game.

 

[Babelipsss]

We get on code is the next move, to combat systemic white supremacy and racism the first rule is to never talk down on black people in front of white people.

So in other words we gotta do for ourselves. What Cosby said.

He made his bed. Once he decided to talk down on black people everything became fair game.

So talking down on another black person is okay as long as you make up a reason?

 

[konceptjones]

Yes.

Then that explains why you felt attacked. You believed Bill was talking about you... And he probably was.

Then that explains why you felt attacked. You believed Bill was talking about you... And he probably was.

The difference is that I know that police don’t harrsss black men because they sag their pants. They harrsss black men becaus they’re black.

 

[konceptjones]

The difference is that I know that police don’t harrsss black men because they sag their pants. They harrsss black men becaus they’re black.

Yeah, they do. My wife's cousin is a cop in Phoenix and he told us that the overall notion around there is that is that boys and men that sag are likely criminals. Doesn't matter if your Black, white, Latino, Asian, etc; It's that they have the appearance of the average criminal that's being arrested.

A cop said this? Lol my point exactly.

so.....we do all we can to make them comfortable?

This type of mentality is why black people are divided. The other groups that are winning do this but we want to be different. Black people are like the WWE Royal Rumble, every man for themselves, as long as I got me a little money that should shield me from white supremacy.
