We as a people are so divided it's not even funny. We know the source of the division is white supremacy. Between the ? , the black feminists, and black ? people. But what in your opinion should we do to become more unified in the face of everything?

    I think it would take something external to get everybody on the same page. This might sound crazy but I think a Trump presidency which would probably make racism mainstream again would probably do it better than anything.

    "Black" people are made up of extremely diverse groups so idk the answer

    The only thing "black" people in common is being oppressed by white supremacist

    What's wrong with division though. White people aren't united. Most northern whites look at southern whites as rednecks, hillbillies,etc.


    I think it's good to have diversity in racial groups because we are not a monolith. What we must have is respect for one another.

    Time, money and wealthy black people investing/backing public officials WITHIN and from our community to serve our interests on a local level just as how the Chinese and Jews do. The next issue is to tackle poverty in the black community.

    Its deeper than that.. what you are talking about is economics.. nothing to do with our divisions/hate/jealousy/indifference towards the next one

    No they're not. Chinese people hate Koreans, Japanese hate both,etc. lol

    When you say black people. There are all types of blacks (American, Caribbean, South America, African).

    But yet they put aside their differences to help Peter Liang get off despite him deserving jail time. Even if other groups have internal issues they'll put aside their ? for a bigger cause.

    Thats a good question. I think integration has done a lot of damage. You also have Blacks that will sell out their community to be rewarded by the greater society. I also think it has something to do with culture. We don't have a sense of cultural unity.

    Americans didn't unite as one after 9/11. Just ask any Muslim in this county who is an American citizen how they were treated after 9/11.

    Hell, they didn't even have to be Muslim. Pretty much any middle eastern, Indian, Hindu, etc.

    I deeply deeply deeply despise atheism so I probably won't want to ever unite with a black atheist I am also totally disgusted with Hebrew Israelites and black people who consider themselves moors.

    I would sooner unite with a black muslim before I unite with these idiots^^^^ and by now everyone here should know how I feel about islam

    Stop being so damn sensitive.

    Every disagreement ain't got to be a personal attack...

    Just cuz we got different opinions, beliefs, ideals, and strategies on certain ? .... Don't mean we gotta beef....

    And that goes to everybody but ESPECIALLY our people cuz we got a responsibility to be able to work with one another if we ever going to make any kind of positive difference
