Uncomfortable Truth???

We may adapt, but we won't be fine.

You see how many immigration issues there are over the world? What do think will happen when certain parts of the world become nearly unlivable and those people have to move to survive?

It goes back to what I was saying. Humanity could make it work, but it will require some to sacrifice. Do you honestly they'll do that?

There is always going to be a percentage of the population that lives in horrid conditions

Technology will increase quality of life for some and due to environmental issues it will get worse for others

I don’t buy that things will be objectively worse than they are now for humanity as a whole

I don't understand what's not to buy at this point. We are already seeing evidence of things to come. I don't think people understand how impactful the global temperature going up a few degrees really is. Maybe for certain people in the U.S., aside of having to deal with more frequent and cataclysmic storms, it won't be a world ending issue. However, at some point the people around the equator will have to basically move because of the impending desertification (that we have already seen starting) and the inability to produce food. Those people will need to migrate to survive and they will be looking to go to places like the U.S. who aren't as heavily impacted.

Some scientists believe the climate change will lead to an existential crisis for humanity as a whole. I admit, I haven't read deep enough into it to know the science behind those claims.

Same thing happened to the Sahara Desert that used to be a temperate jungle inhabited by many many people

People will move around and adapt, it’s not doomsday
 
Last one and this is one i feel really strongly about...the whole "Can't nobody tell me how to raise my kids. Don't nobody know what's best for them but me" mentality is very harmful to both parents and children. Kids become adults who have to go out into the world and interact with other people so to try and restrict them to only the parents influence and pov does them far more harm than good and can be a social handicap

It seems like you're thinking the danger is "the global climate goes up 3 degrees, and everybody instantly dies."

That not really the danger. It's more complicated that. When the Sahara became a desert, there were probably less than a billion people on earth and national borders weren't nearly as heavily enforced. It's not as easy to move around and adapt now as back then. We are already seeing wars over water in Africa and mass famines. That's only going to get worse.

We as a species aren't prepared to deal with what's to come, not because we aren't able to adapt, but because, as I said earlier, we're too selfish and corrupt to adapt. If that weren't true, we wouldn't be heading towards the climate crisis anyway because it was preventable.

I would say that you saying this is reminiscent to people saying things happen in the news to distract you from other big news.

Well no, if you are distracted, that’s your fault. They can put out as much sensationalized bullshit as they want. But if you care, you will be locked in. So don’t get mad at them for trying to distract you, get mad at yourself for allowing it to happen to you.

I say that to say, you can still give a fuck about police shootings and at the same time keep that same passion for civilian murders. Cause they both resulted in the deaths of black people. Crazy to think that the other is more important, just because it’s a cop.

The family that lost its family member would like them to be here regardless of who did it. The one who loses a family member to a non cop shooting, doesn’t feel any less pain than the one that got shot by a cop

Care about em equally.

To me tho I don’t think that we put lord emphasis on cop murder s non cop murder. The emphasis comes from cop not being charged. Parents are outraged all the time about the crime in our community even if they catch the guy. I feel like we have always cared equally as the Black community.

And the impacts of climate change are rarely advertised the way you just outlined because they know that doesn’t really move the needle for most people in Western society

No we haven’t…

True personal story

First time I dealt with the reality of this world was when I was in elementary school. Second grade, I went to school one day and a lot of the buildings had graffiti, trash was everywhere, some stores was burnt down. Look like a war zone..got to school and ask what happened and our teachers told us about Rodney king, we were all heated.

Fast forward, some time later I find out that my best friend parent got killed. So as a kid, I’m thinking. If this city got burned cause of Rodney King in LA..not even in Charleston.

I can’t wait to see how it get down for my friend parent.

I walked to school excited,,..it was just a another regular day. Ain’t nobody burn down shit for them, and we know them.

You know why?

Nigga shit
 
White person kill us and cats wanna riot for the feeling

We kill us and cats is holding hands talking bout we gotta do better..

I ain’t tryna hear that shit..ion give fuck who kills us ..it all feel the same to me

People have to be sacrificed for the greater good

Everybody can’t be helped and some people (most likely the poor) will suffer to advance

we dont have proof of going another route so i disagree. everybody was never simultaneously helped. and suffering at the expense of who or what?
tyrants mades those decisions when developing strategies for war. they even made a game about it called chess. when claiming to have a brain there is the capacity to adapt outside of the animal kingdom mentality.

what's also true is, while they were gone on the girls trip, me and my bros also went on a liitle trip back at your moms. we took a train!
(just fuckin witchu, mane. i couldn't resist this setup)
 
black people may never be reimbursed or recoup any loss of their posterity for the ingenuity in and of their hard work, denial of patents for their inventions or any compensation for the ancestral mental trauma, damage and hardship inflicted upon them. the line is redrawn every time we restart.
protecting our black millionaires and billionaires is the only saving grace in any attempt at offsetting the interests of the few anti black billionaire moves and progressions. in hope, black millionaire and billionaire wealth will eventually trickle down to the rest of us. but how long it will take is the question and that truth may def be long after any of us are done in these bodies we're assigned to.

Was the person who killed you friend parent ever caught? Did he get off Scott free. I get you bro you want people to be outraged by the loss of life over the injustice of it. If we treated the cop murders like ours nobody would care about anything. If we rioted every time somebody died that’s 1,000s of riots a year. If a white man kills a white man they won’t burn down the city. If a white cop shot a white man for no reason they would have a full investigation. Do you think they just view the white crime as just white people shit?


When y’all and its a lot of y’all who come from bad areas talk like “black folks don’t care about crime, we don’t trust each other, we need a leader or whatever. It comes off like y’all just believe what outsiders are telling us because you saw some examples that fit the stereotype.

But again a cop not even being a suspect in a murder they commit causes a lot of the outrage
