Melanated People

3 yrs

a big excuse we got is that there are no options, no opportuninties out there for us.

BULLSHIT!

We have lost the the will, the fight to thrive. Look at what Black Americans created right after 1865. We had town thriving so much that other got jealous of them. Now look around, we dont even have land to call home.

The more I examine our current state and the causes, where the catalyst might have been something else, where are were we are GLOBALLY because we lack the luster to take on challenges and thrive. We just want everything to be handed to us.

I hope that we can change this, that we can get back to, as a community, owning land, growing, raising our kids, being 1000% better then eveyone else.

We need to Black Golden Age to return

What I fear about this viewpoint is how it blames Black people for being abused by the system instead of naming a plan for changing it. It blames us for being approved for 30% lower average business loans with the same credit score as the average white counterpart. It blames us for being last hired/first fired. It blames us for gerrymandering so our votes get counted less, having our property appraised lower on average so we make less money from the sale, and for having to walk in fear of violence or death if we walk outside our homes.
Instead, we could be planning to circumvent these things by hacking the system:

1. creating voting blocs in states with lower Black residence, such as Iowa, and having encrypted security camera networks with other Black residents in case the Proud Boys decides to pay a visit. Each vote counts for MORE in the less dense states. If each Black vote counted more, then our lower population would carry MORE political weight.

2. We could be opening accounts with ONLY credit unions or Black-owned banks (there are over 40 in total). You’re using the same money! The only difference is paying interest to each other, not the giant corporations!

3. We could be forming coalitions of existing Black businesses to hire lobbyists instead of trying to grow individually and serve only individual interests. I shop at Miiriya, We Buy Black, and individual Black stores FIRST, even if I have to wait a few months for restocking or saving up money. Y’all see that I used to share Black business posts every couple of weeks before the update & Black when we used to do the weekend zooms. NEVER buy an optional item unless it’s Black-made, & ALWAYS look for a Black store for the necessary items.

I have so many more strategies that came from studying so many Economic Revolutionaries & Black psychologists & sociologists & historians, but I just get tired of people telling me I don’t know what I’m talking about but can’t show me receipts. That’s the type of stuff that makes revolutionaries give up & just go retire in Ghana (DuBois) or the woods (Baba Dick Gregory) or even go full-on conservative (Kathleen Cleaver—unless she’s just a revolutionary spy). Let’s not drive each other away by blaming each other.
