Are our emotions used against us so that we become distracted and swayed and taken off the path?
Do our reactions and perception lead us to fund our own oppression?

    If we aint ? it's because we made ourselves that way. If we're going to dead that then we gotta switch up the
    programming. The rhetoric and rah rah for the past 30-40 years hasn't been working. Gotta change ? up.

    Black people not bein ? is a recent phenomena. Change that programming up.

    is obama american?
    abortion
    ? marriage
    what celebrity is sleeping with who

    and on and on........

    i guarantee when the election comes around it wont have anything to do with real issues...it will be about some trivial nonsense

    Yes because a reaction in most cases is defensive. When a person fights defence they are usually in retreat.

    government ain't ? ...

    half of these politicians out here are hooking up with big corporations and fat cats.

    i would like to think that if people paid attention passed the issues you have listed

    ? could make something happen, but people don't give a ? .

    Black folks been keepin the defense on the field for 40 yrs and stay fallin for the play action.

    We need to get back on the offense. I'm not talkin about some ? ass military action, I'm

    talkin about securing economic sovereignty, building a foundation for our children to be able to

    walk into and not have to start from scratch all over again and live a life of debt wealth and die broke

    and busted because we failed to set up the board for them.

    To answer the thread title, yes. Controlling a group of people/or person at gun point is some basic barbaric ? . The real powers that be evolved with their covert tactics long ago. Using one's own momentum against them FTW, yes?

    Good analogy Polight used with the Hulk and Thor (I think he meant Loki) scene from Avengers.

    Remember, Hulk was melanated, too.

    Of course. I blame people getting too caught up in their immediate environment and short term gratification (sex, fast money, drugs). Also organized religion, whether its Christianity or Islam, makes black people way too emotional to function properly.

    i wouldnt say that people dont care. its just that it seems like it takes so long to get things done that people get jaded by the whole thing.

    i mean who wouldnt want healthcare?
    lower taxes?
    good schools?
    cheaper gas?

    and i think thats what the powers that be count on. they can feed us some ? about abortion and/or religion and that will get people fired up so they arent paying attention to the new tax laws...or that we're still spending a billion a day in the middle east...

    I agree with you Louis. Politicians play with people's minds all the time. People acknowledge the problem, but not viable solutions just more fuckery.

    Kids are failing classes? Throw money at the problem
    We need more Healthcare. Throw money at the problem.

    Why are kids failing classes? Could it be the way they are taught and what they are taught does not prove to be the best methodology for majority of children? Countries whose children are academically thriving what are their methods?

    Healthcare. What the ? are people doing/not doing eating/not eating that has them so sickly and in need on constant medical attention. What can people change to alleviate or eliminate this issue.

    Would healthcare be so necessary if people lived healthier lives?

    @kushington

    Your sarcasm is noted. A lot of muphuckas in the so called conscious community are some frontin ass ? . Got the boots the Garvey colors the lingo, but are too afraid to fight intelligently and with clarity of vision. Duns wanna talk about all this ambiguous ? but when it comes down to gettin tangible results suddenly ? get scared talkin about how the white man gonna react.

    ? them pink toes though can't get with no more, poison the mind.

    To parapharase Malcolm X, in a revolution you may change your goals and your mind. Revolution implys 360 degrees of action. The battle for our liberation is economic, social, and political. On some parts of this planet ie, some African peoples will have to fight a hot war as the untouchables in India who's human situation is so dire, that they will have to fight a violent revolution in order to be free.

    yep. all good points.

    the problem is people want ez solutions to complex problems. there is no simple solution to the healthcare issue here. or education. but for whatever his faults atleast obama stepped up and said i have a solution to healthcare...and all the other side could do is try to tear it down. was his plan perfect? no. but neither is what we have now. its sad and kinda funny that some of the very people that the plan would help are against it. perfect example of being distracted by nonsense.

    ? is bigger than race. Bigger than White vs Black. Those in power are and have been lying to their own people as well. Got white people thinking there was really a thanks giving. Kids all dressed up acting out plays based on lies. They use their patriotism to make them believe it's noble to go fight wars that the politicians have armed.

    The General public is stupid. All over the world.

    Who ever created RACE was a smart muthafucka.

    Look at all the politicians today. It's crazy people are voting for this ? .

    The History channel is the ? Redneck channel. Redneck Wedding. Redneck Vacation. Redneck millionaires.

    They dumbing down everybody.

    The shahs of sunset

    Then there's ? people on every show.

    Y'all don't see that ? .

    Look at all the housewives shows.

    Humans been separated by race. Now each race, culture, group etc etc is being dumb down.

    Not just Black People but every single human being on this planet needs to wake the ? up.

    Can't have a revolution with no capital. Cant fight a war without a safe haven (territory) Can't win a war without allies.
    Right now Black people have zero allies anywhere.

    In the 60's it was the USSR. We were convenient pieces to be used against the US and Britain during the Cold War, but now China could give a ? . Cuba aint bussin no grapes. No one is S America is coming to our aid.

    Can't be concerned about everybody else though.

    Can a drowning rescue another from the same plight?
    Or is it more sensible to secure your position before coming to the aid of another?
