im confused here?, werent people lauding the Umar Johnsons , Killer Mikes , Colin Karpernik's stance on not voting, not participating in the political process or approaching any politicians until they come to us with clear tangible plans/policies on how to uplift black neighbourhoods, black communities & business.
now all of a sudden "we need to work with these people and brush shoulders with them to get power" ? especially with a person who has no minority mandate (heck no mandate/policy for anything at all ,but im pretty sure you will be top priority) and has never reached out to black communities ever in life and all his cabinet is "anti YOU people".
African Americans are hamsters on a fuckin wheel i swear.Ive never seen a people who talk such a good game then proceed to do the anthesis with pathetic "what have we got to lose excuses to boot"!!! You act like your perspective is unique coz you are black but some of ya'll are just like the hillbilly rednecks & white women who love Trump , An old aged rich white man will always appeal to you ,that seems right to you ,you suffer from the same white saviour complex you seem to say you see through, you are simply just american not uniquely black not uniquely african, just american . You are always gonna go against your own collective self interests and dignity....and Sadly try to justify it.
Incorrect and it shows that you don't read for comprehension so I will try and make this as simple as possible
Voting for a president is irrelevant, the major candidate are pre-selected
VOTING LOCALLY IS HEAVILY ENCOURAGED AND HAS BEEN ENDORSED BY EVERY PERSON WHO HAS STATED THE FACT THAT THE POPULAR PRESIDENTIAL VOTE IS IRRELEVANT.
Isnt voting locally a part of the political process??
AMERICA IS A CORPORATION. IF YOU DO NOT DO BUSINESS THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE A SAY PERIOD
Once again I ask, why are y'all advocating passively eating whatever they choose to do to black people? Why are you not trying to get a seat at the table??
What is your solution for black people? How do black people operate under a trump presidency? Serious question
First of all i wasnt even addressing you and im not sure who you are or what you said in this thread.
Of the presidency being a fallacy: why then are you concerned about "how black people operate in a Trump presidency" ? If he has no power of influence it must be his cabinet or the senate or the house right who on the incumbent "GOP" side is willing bend to ya'll will when most of their electorate wants the opposite?
If the case is voting locally and galvanizing these communities (as you claim they have really advocated) how is it there are less and less black politicians at a local level and i never see most of these athletes/celebrities being surrogates for local officials ever.
I agree with taking ownership locally on politics , socio economics and education absolutely there in lies the answer thats where it should start thats the solution , not the pageantry or entertaining/applauding the pageantry at Trump tower.
If america is this cooparation what deal do you people have now after 50 years that will finally sway the republican party to stop their institutions of prejudice that im pretty sure are more valuable to keep in place than anything and off these Black leaders that have meet with Trump have to offer ?
I thought yall was revolutionaries ? who took no shit from the white men? what happened to building your own communities and banks and not needing to go to Trump tower to ask not to be forgotten ,apparently begging for scraps is cool and asking questions like "well how are black people gonna operate" will suffice.
Clearly Trump values black counsel/intellect by inviting rich black athletes thats are mostly clearly detached from black communities to advocate for ya'll, seems like it has been a winning formula for yall for generations.
Its funny to me that people are willing to give this man and his anti minority cabinet benefit of the doubt without him or them (GOP) proving themselves.
