Not to undermine his point, but he didn’t have to buy it to tell them people that.

Damn, we're really that simple to think it's that simple huh. Keeping people from having to jump through hoops unnecessarily isn't more racist than actual racist things.

The push to set aside all traditional black ideas & traditions as "problematic" & disregard the elders views in exchange for new age liberal movements has been hilarious to watch.
I'm currently watching young black women argue that there's nothing wrong with mommy daughter pole dancing lessons, those who do see the issue have an archaic mindset
Dem People got the community

I figured that pole dancing topic would turn into a, "What's wrong with it" type of thing.
At this point, that is expected. Keep your own personal morals and don't bend for the world man.
It is what it is at this point.

that's a fact, i be seeing some of these post & just thanking myself that i ain't been outside moving reckless. I can't imagine the thought of having to raise a child with a woman who's on this type of timing.
Finding the right woman more imperative than ever

Anti-Blackness is global.
Also, I think Black people from America need to be reminded that how they’re treated overseas isn’t a reflection of how Black people within that country are treated. American privilege and money go a long way, so before you say “(insert country) is so welcoming”, talk to the Black people who live there who aren’t ex-pats.

This brother is so loud and so wrong
Does he not have someone in his circle who can tell him that he can't generalize all Africans? Black South Africans can certainly tell the difference, as evidenced by their xenophobic campaigns against African immigrants.
As far as the lottery is concerned, winning it doesn't automatically grant one an immigrant visa; you still have to meet other conditions (having a high school degree and no criminal record) in order to come here that way.
To me, it appears that Afrocentrism and Panafricanism really were more effective as ideological tools to create alliances of convenience among oppressed groups against the common oppressor (colonizers/slavers). With the colonizers gone, Africans remain more protective of their borders and ethnic identities than much of the world, with very little intra-african exchanges of people and goods being promoted or exercised.

Some will point to Ghana promoting the return of the black diaspora as a success of the pan African ideal, but there are indications that this is being done in a very cynical way, as local Ghanaians are being displaced by other black folks.
This is not me being against the idea of a stronger, global black entity; it's just questioning the current approach, when something more tangible like cooperation between HBCUs and African universities would go far in promoting exchange of academic knowledge. A relationship between NSBE and African engineering organizations would go a long way in fostering technical cooperation between Africans and the Black diaspora.
I guess I don't know how two dudes sitting on pretend thrones are helping anyone ...

Bruh, this is a depiction of Middle Eastern racism, fostered by the sameeconomic and cultural mechanisms that led to the western caste system. The French have been out of Africa since the 1960s, but you still have this happening in the 2020s. The Darfur genocide had racial elements to it, with Arab Sudanese wanting to push out Black Sudanese. Even in Europe, things are not always sweet between African and Arab immigrant populations.

I mean, of course Umar was talking out his *** at certain points. Bigga should not be taken seriously, and is delusional.
Im more so referencing Umars larger and initial point. Where he’s pushing back on the ADOS/FBA + Diaspora wars ****. And what Umar was saying is

Once I see “FBA” “ADOS” or “tether” mentioned, I already know they’re not about progress and just want to have clubhouse debatesI mean, of course Umar was talking out his *** at certain points. Bigga should not be taken seriously, and is delusional.

Same. It's about time the kids doing the right thing get immediate rewards and aren't always told to have to wait for their blessings.
I tend to see kids that usually don't do the right thing get bribes/rewards whenever they show a second of "success" while the kids always on top of it (#) get taken for granted. Just my everyday experience.

Quality of produce also matters though. Most delis aren’t carrying produce like that
. Definitely not in Harlem. Under resourced areas are notoriously difficult to find quality options for the people who live in them.

The framing of these questions is… insane
Exactly. Completely disingenuous and the guy doing the video knows exactly what he’s trying to do. Also, New York is probably one of the easier places to get an ID relative to these red states who are purposely trying to suppress the Black/Brown vote.

The “soft bigotry of low expectations” is a thing, but then trying to dress up this voter ID issue while also holding the staunch “shall not be infringed” stance on the 2nd amendment is obviously hypocritical. Conservatives have shown they associate more protection with less restrictions when it comes constitutional rights and freedoms. So why would they suddenly be in favor of the opposite when it comes to voting? I’d encourage folks to reconsider who really thinks who’s feeble minded here.
