what qualifies as Black excellence, black capitalism coon, sellout and activist?

[DOS_patos]

after reading quite a few posts and threads here...

it seems like there is no clear definition of what black excellence is and what black capitalism is and why its negative.
No one has clearly defined what a coon or sell out is.

while i know we get in our feeling an say the shit to each other but what is the definition really?

from all that i read.......who is not one of the above without compromise and how does one reach a black excellence level?

lets have a real talk.

I can answer these with one guy..

Diddy..

The founding of badboy records...black excellenence.

The teaming with white businesses to use urban fashion and street teams targeted at the black consumer....black capitalist

The jerking of young unbusiness savy black men but a business savvy black man to have them indebted to him and make way more off of them than they can dream to make off themselves...black capitalist coon

Rock The Vote, Harlem Boys School..Activist

Sellout..the continuous promotion of negative items to the community..liquor, over indulgence, drugs, violence...even though hes old enough to know better and long in the tough enough to know of other ways



Diddy, the ultimate embodiment of the black enigmatic capitalist conundrum

"Black Excellence" - A term coined by millennials on Black Twitter that represents any time Black people rise above the expectations society places on them...It's also commonly used in a sarcastic manner...Example: Jamal exhibited "Black excellence" today by selling an eighth of marijuana which would commonly go for 40 dollars in the hood for double the price to some white kids.

"Black Capitalism" - Really makes no sense...Black people participating in a capitalist market...It's kinda like saying "Black entrepreneurship" or "Black politics"...It's just Black people doing things we should do.

"Coon" - A derogatory term for Blacks created by southern pinks...One of the main characters during the minstrelsy...The coon character was used to portray the black man as lazy, inarticulate, and overall dumb...Incapable of doing anything without white assistance and leadership...Any Black people calling other Black people coons are lost or ignorant to the history behind the word...You're doing what they wanted you to do....Same could be said for using nigga, but that's a different story.

"Sell Out" - A Black person who puts his or her own interests, or white interests which may be perceived as their own interests, over that of the greater good of the Black community...Someone who's morals can be bought for a seemingly cheap price...Some Black people aren't raised with the same morals and values as others or with a mentality of "putting the Black community first" though, so some niggas is just doin what they know...

"Activist" - A Black person who says shit is fucked up and actually goes out and does something about the shit...Teaches skills, spreads information, organizes meetings/marches/protests, votes in elections and knows who and what they're voting for, offers rides, provides meals, donates clothes, etc...Somebody who gives their time and money to the bettering of the oppressed people they care about when they don't have to and doesn't expect to be rewarded with riches and fame for doing so.

There will never be clear definitions for those terms.

They talked shit about everyone from Marcus Garvey to WEB DuBois, to Noble Drew Ali to Elijah Muhammad, Malcom X, Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Muhammad Ali, Colin Kaepernick... the list is innumerable because every side thinks they have some inherent or divine correct answer which gives them the right to namecall anyone who doesn't act or agree with them in lockstep.

The worst thing we could do is take on the worst traits of our oppressors. We act like Democrats and Republicans with no where near the same level of power, infrastructure, or solidarity to go along with engaging in verbal conflict.

So many of us are entangled in playing the dozens except we've taken it from the schoolyard to social media and whoever 'googles' the wrong information first, loses.
