We all want the same thing at the end of the day. How do we get there is what we cant agree on
COMMUNITY Social Justice Thread: R.I.P. George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor & now Tyre Nichols
- Thread starter StringerBell
- Start date
One was a unprovoked attack. The other was a reaction. You’re putting both in the same category. Basically coon talk. Save that moral shit for others.

I'm not convinced everyone wants the same thing...

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

Being condition to see thing a certain way?
So trying to get people to see it the other way should not be a problem.
I would never say slavery was a choice. That's crazy.
we ...Now have options on where we shop and who we support. We have all we need but if we don't get it or create it.....We trusting someone else to treat us right.
I'm not ok with that.
I saw it in a post above this.......If a black owner business is a casualty..... Unintentionally...That's one thing.
I'm speaking on knowing and not caring. That's the shit I'm against. But if it's between a burning Gucci and Chanel store an ends up hit by mistake......I won't be mad.
But I see every black owned store as one more step away from needing them.

Who do you think you are? I am
Nah cause all they are gonna do is go to a black neighborhood where people are minding their business and kill a bunch of innocent people. That ain't productive to nobody at all.
real shit though, i appreciate you for being you and not breaking character, but yeah fam, now aint the time lol
I'm glad you agree

You need to start deleting posts and then consider banning niggas from the thread if they still can't stay on the topic and keep derailing it with bullshit.
Edit: i understand yall not gonna catch everything and don't have time to police every post.
But if one of you see it take the opportunity. From what I can tell every single mod active in the thread so it really shouldn't be that hard.

You can read that?
I agree

You niggas is EXCOMMUNICADO!!!
Yes it is a problem because for 100's of years we've been taught their ice is colder, grass is greener and their white women's pussy and status of having her is better. Let's not act like black kids aren't being "educated" according to white standards. Shit HBCU's accreditation comes from white people. Think about that an HBCU could lose their acceditation for teaching black kids because some white people say they don't like the curriculum.
Yes we have the options but we don't have the mindset.

It might not seem like it, but it wasn't random at all.
All I did was respond to what was posted.
If that hadn't have been posted, I wouldn't have said a word about Lizzo.
Gotta admit though, this thread has taken on some elements of the Off Topic thread.
Especially the 4 pages about Sara Sidner a couple days ago.
i initially edited his post to turn the characters white but then i realized maybe not everyone using a black background like i am and the letter show black
i changed it back
i just highlighted it with my mouse and was able to read it
