Monuments and currency are two separate things
Also notice how we are taking down their monuments but they ain't racing to put up our heroes in their place
It's all a sham
Symbolism is a sham.

Capitalism will take hundreds of years to topple over race, denying that would be denying reality. We simply don't have the technology nor are we advanced enough socially. Real change takes a long time.

I get that, but she's literally arguing that we just ride this thing out for hundreds of years, until things change.
Do you not see how ridiculous that is?

when did I said that?
I take full responsibility for my words but I don't take responsibility for your misinterpretation of them.
the "progressive" ones.....
they quick to hop in front of a camera and say
"maybe these statues should be replaced with someone peaceful like martin luther king or rosa parks"
white folk love looking progressive

"I can fix that"
You made tons of criticism and offered no solutions. What else can I interpret that as? We can't wait on whitey to comply and have a sudden moment of clarity of all of their wrongdoings, we've tried that and got lil drips of progress. It's obvious at this point that we should be focusing on leveraging economic power, it is the only thing that this system respects.

Lol respecting black economic power in the US is a dream. Bruh they used to bomb our shit. Even when not actively bombing our shit they still make it hard for us to get loans and fair deals. Even if its a black owned bank. Im not saying we should just give up but this game not made for us tp win.

there are no solutions
Abolishment is your only solution
You're in an anti-Black society that is violent, sadistic and murderous AF. Economic power is a neoliberal wet dream. (It'll never happen) All these structures are oppressive. Black ppl love asking for solutions, the the solution is simple: burn this mfer down.
And since everybody is so hellbent on reform and what not, that's never going to happen.
So guess what?
My Black ass is going to continue to talk shit. Educate the youth and focus on tangiable goals like making our communities functional, viable and safe.

"I can fix that"
Ridiculous, economic prosperity/self reliance is an obvious solution to the problems we face. With economic independence comes power/respect, it tips the scales in your favor and people have to meet you on common ground. Rather than expecting you to take their scraps and be happy that you got them.
That's all apart of making black people economically powerful, you can't become prosperous without the things you listed.
You agree with me and you don't even know it.
This.
On American money or money in general? Cause black faces are all over money elsewhere. Should they not be?
Why wouldn't we use paper currency? In twenty years we would still need paper currency if not for ourselves, at least for foreigners traveling and exchanging their currency for ours etc.
