Thank you brother🙏🏽 Much love

I just wanna see my people strive

Earl’s “there’s not a Black woman I can’t thank” line inspired this thread too

It’s sad honestly

And people can deny this reality all they want but there are truly Black people who feel like they can do this to others

And we gotta do better

Ay bro do you, take the Killer Mike stance. But at the same time, understand why a black person wouldn't want to waste their breath on grown woman who thinks things like this:

Or this:

She is a far right conservative (sell out or not) and if she wants to believe that s*** cool. But im not gonna be like "Uwu oh shes just misguided and needs direction and understanding."

F*** her.

I would want to have a conversation with Candace and ask her why she feels like this. Question her sources. Question her logic.

Candace is going through an identity crisis. She’s doing the most right now and it looks gross but if you really listen to what she says behind the pile of propaganda she spews, she’s actually a really smart girl. And I genuinely do believe that her intentions are for Black Americans to have a better life. You two just radically disagree in opinion. And I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that Candace doesn’t spew propaganda. But I’m also not sure that she knows she’s doing that. I went through a Republican phase where pretty much all the s*** she’s saying probably would’ve made complete sense to me. But I’m still here where I am today. The Ahmaud Arbury and George Floyd cases happening so quick to each other drove me to a overwhelmingly more leftist perspective because it was almost like a reality check. By then I had been long past my Republican phase, but my point is it was still a long self seeking journey to truly come to terms with the things I understand now. The idea of police brutality isn’t as simple as the mainstream media wants to sell it. But it also isn’t a hoax like Republicans like the spew. It is very real and it is a specific danger to Black people. Why is this a fact though? Because police stations across America are taught to kill Black people? Because the overwhelming majority of police officers have a racist vendetta against Black people? Obviously not. There are so many layers to these issues and we have to begin unfolding them. Maybe Candace is afraid she’ll end up being wrong on these issues and that’s why she hasn’t looked deeper. Maybe she has looked deeper but wants to keep making grifter money. Either way, I would like to know and ask her why. Or I would like for someone to.

It can bro

I used to get called a coon all the time when I was a lot more conservative like 2 years ago

And it always hurt me so much cuz I never understood why people didn’t wanna hear me out and just assumed I wanted the worst for my own people

That’s why I go so hard at people who just throw the word coon around like it’s nothing

That’s a pretty rough accusation to make on someone for simply disagreeing with you

Yep. Used to be friends with the guy who set me up. And one of em was a recent acquaintance. The third guy (who initiated my ass beating) was new. Just met him that night. He was recently released from jail. The guy I was "friends" with had initially wanted the guy to beat up my foster brother (fuck that nigga too) during the game. I didn't know that.

When I spiked the ball the dude from jail just started punching me in my face and then another guy jumped in and another video taped it....

Exactly bro. Like imagine Steez was your favorite artist that s*** would probably hit deep.

I often times get really upset that my parents nor I grew up in America because I didn’t get live a Black American experience until I was in my teens and even understood what it meant to be Black in America. I’m from Colombia and Black identity there couldn’t be any more different. But at times, these are the things that I was able to escape, the possibility of things like that staying in my family’s mindset for generations. Obviously we have our own Colombian version or toxicity lmao but still I’m super happy I didn’t grow up having to hear things like that because me personally I have no idea how f***ing bad I would be if I was getting talked to like that, being that I’m as bad as I am right now with a mother who was a psychologist lmaoo. It’s almost like in America if you’re Black, you’re taught to be desensitized to pain from a young age.

100% man

I remember I used to be so judgmental of customers when I’d be at my job in a much poorer neighborhood than the one I live in. Calling all the old people crackheads and s*** just cuz they had missing teeth and dirty clothes. I’m f***ing disgusted with myself now knowing how idiotic it was for me to even dismiss these people’s experiences like that. I actually ended up becoming really cool with one of the old guys we bonded hella over music I even let him make a beat on my laptop one time. And it’s so crazy how a year before that I would’ve been freaking out cuz idk where dude’s hands been putting them on my computer. But I understood that I was acting privileged and that I should be much more accepting of my people because there was a time when my mother and I would walk into stores and we didn’t look our best either.

That self hatred s*** is real dawg I had to f***ing check myself for thinking like such a privileged cac. I was also 18 tho and still struggling with my identity a lot. I’ve definitely grown since.

Smh man I’m sorry this happened to you

Have you spoken to your friend since?

op might be like 15 yrs old

if this were true then she wouldn’t ignore the blatant problems that affect black people or say that they don’t exist
