Ethnic Notions really opened my eyes to a lot of things @Nightmares

Can see why the music industry keeps pushing these wack niggas now. Even though most of the discussion surrounded the black face and Jim Crow regime - the agenda that rose pre-civil war times to portray black people in a way that suited white America is still true in today's media. Hollywood only allows black people to play certain characters in certain environments just like the theatre did back then.

The most heartbreaking truth about it all that I didn't know prior was the fact that they made actual black people wear black face and do funny accents like the white actors before them did.

This been known tho lol

Main reason why I don't movies or series at all

Also that does change the way perceive things... subconsciously

ofc wtf I didn't say it was a groundbreaking fact or anything, you cant assume everyone knows what u know lol

I'm just saying this the first time I'm seeing the roots of the matter

It wasn't my intention to make it seem like you didn't know but yea

So the trending topic of the day on Twitter in regards to black people is "New blacks". Now I'm sure some of you probably heard of the term before, it was prevalent during the Mike Brown situation, really took off when Pharrell was out here tap dancing calling Mike Brown a "bully".

However, now it seems to have come back and is being used to separate and divide black people and go at black people who grew up in the suburbs and went to "better schools". Pretty much, making fun of black people who didn't grow up experiencing the same kinda things other black people grew up experiencing. Things like hood classics, constant/harassing calls from bill collectors, general growing up poor type s***.

So what are y'all thoughts on this? Is this just some stupid ass nlgger s*** that is dividing black people ONCE AGAIN? Absolutely. My hope is that this dumb s*** comes to an end quickly. I don't know what it is with niggas always finding some way to divide us up and make us weaker. It almost always seems to be over nothing.

Do you know how long the site's been up - crazy how long mfs tried to keep this quiet.

Been stuck on this all day, the pandemic got me away from my people so I haven't had anyone to talk to about this since I'm struggling to make calls too.

I only just saw the site yesterday when the video was released. S*** is absolutely outrageous. Not only is it wildly racist, but it also highlights just how powerful that Blue Wall of Silence s*** is. This happened all the way back in February and it took 4 whole months for it to come out?

The dude who was involved is a former cop and the police had this tape/footage for months. They were definitely just gonna let this go and the men responsible would walk free with killing someone.

Damn, got me thinking about Botham Jean again. First they only go for manslaughter, then it's only 10 on a murder charge

Sick and stuck on all this bad...

This story only gonna get bigger from here on out. It should at least.

You catch news of the Indy shooting? It's hell on Earth and open season on us, f***

I actually just read about it. Even saw the video of the dude's live while police were making up a story getting ready to cover up them just killing someone...

It's so surreal honestly. People not only witnessed a man get chased and killed by police...but they also got to witness the police making up the lie all within 25-30mins.

How have you guys been doing during this lockdown?
Hope everyone is staying safe

In

Tbh just talk to your bro about your concerns. He should understand

Also do you have an article explaining why black ppl are most affected by corona?

I would guess black folks are getting hit harder because 1. Communities we live in
2.lack of insurance
3. Us up low level essential jobs

You Canadian bruh?

Idk. Fk that s***. Goofy stuff. Niggas want to glorify coming from the hood. I've been tried TOO many times because niggas perceived that I was privileged. Niggas be wanting to find any reason or excuse to put another nigga down because they see one of us coming up.

Goofy asses. Funny thing is, when we start comparing lives they don't even know that we've all gone through the same American struggle.

Ive gotten beat, I've been robbed, I've been jumped, I've had knives put to my throat, and ive had guns put to my head. I've lived in the REAL ghetto. Not the nice little section 8 housing next to the suburbs. I'm talking the real f***ing ghetto. AC in the window. Potholes on every street. No car. No opportunities. Selling d**** because I couldn't even cop a job at a local fast food joint.

Don't let that s*** get to you. Niggas presume I'm educated because I talk proper. No I had a really bad lisp and i had to go through 4 years of speech therapy where white ppl dangled candy In my face and I couldn't get none unless I could say the word right.

Tired of this crab in a barrel ass mentality

so this week i learned
black people can not be racist
but they can be discriminatory
but nobody ever really explains that aspect very well unless im just wrong as f***

think about it.....we got black kids....making fun of other black kids....because they think the other kid's parents were there for them and took care of them.......

its already been proven that our government has a sector that dedicates their time to turning us against each other. where do yall think all our internal beef comes from?

light skin vs dark
old vs young
ignorant vs educated
house nigga vs field nigga

im 100% certain that a lot of these social media accounts that are pushing this s*** are government shills

you're speaking on a losing point bud nobody wants to face reality just want to throw some blame around, rub some mud on it shut up and continue to succeed and help those who seeking your mentorship all that other s*** for the birds unless you feel its your calling then by all means MLK change the world if not then sir enjoy what you have help who you can do what you can

the government knows something about us that they're not telling us

there's a reason they've put so much time and energy into holding us back

african americans are the result of genetic engineering. we are the survivors of the smartest and strongest of slaves. the weak and dumb were killed.

they've held us back for centuries. they were afraid of us getting educated. why? they've stolen all of inventions. they've hidden our history. they've taken credit for all of our accomplishments. why?

we had to fight for the right to be f***ing janitors. WE ARE THE CULTURE OF THIS PLANET. everything that the world is f***ing enjoying right now came from US. Country, jazz, blues, rock n roll, r&b, hip hop. THAT'S US

up until recent decades we werent good enough to be entertainers. We couldnt be in the NBA or the NFL. We werent good enough for s*** right??

TUH! The moment we got a chance to step foot on the court or the field WE DOMINATED.

We're the best in athletics, we're the greatest entertainers this world has ever seen.

Breaking records in the olympics, golf, basketball, football, tennis, you name it and we're gonna put a stamp on it.

Top of the education. Its time to stop letting america push this glorification of ignorance in the african american community

Idgaf about that "we wuz kangz" goofy comments. I might not have come from a king, but my father was valedictorian. My mother's mother was valedictorian.

We come from a blessed bloodline. So many of us have done more in these last few decades than a lot of these other americans have done these last few centuries

Whoever is reading this i want you to know that YOU are GREAT. Get educated. And encourage your siblings and cousins to do so too. They want to hate? Let em hate. Time to flex and really give em something to hate on
