Dr. Iva Carruthers Shakes Up SOBWC! (Part 2)

[raujamaa]

Approx 14 minutes to answer a simple question, wow! We do not need reparations!, if we have $800 billion in spending power, Black millionaires and a couple of billionaires, blacks in all levels of government and corporations (resources), then all we have to do to change out situation overnight is to start investing in ourselves, period. Stop waiting for you "master/ex-master" to throw you a life jacket, swim your ass to the shore yourself.

To become a human is a process that must be demonstrated not declared.

Amen.

Black Liberation is not Racist!

[kjones2345]

"Black" automatically makes it racist

[TexadaArmsted]

Black doesn't make it racist! Being African-American's needed specific issues fixed (back then) an today because we had always been dehumanized by the majority. There are no Black Hate groups and if we were to talk about this issue, you could easily take it to how whites killed African-Americans simply because of the color of their skin. You need to study the African diaspora and see how we were treated and how Liberation Theory was formed!

[kjones2345]

@TexadaArmsted As someone who is black and studied 4 years to get their degree in Africana Studies I am well aware of the African diaspora and the roots of black liberation theory. Throughout history there have been black hate groups, for example slave rebellions could be considered black hate groups. Also, the NOI was depicted as a black hate group, even though they themselves claimed otherwise. My point is we need to shift out of this racial paradigm that has been created for us, we are human!

[TexadaArmsted]

@kjones2345 You think that slaves rebelling against their OPRESSORS IS HATRED? Give me a break! The nation of Islam was about Black power and brings Blacks out of the self hatred inflicted upon us by White people! You obviously know nothing about the Diaspora because you don't understand the pressure the Slaves were under! If all Black people thought like you we would still be on the plantation!

[TexadaArmsted]

@kjones2345 You need to examine the facts that by Sociological standards African-Americans can't be racist because they simply don't possess the power, wealth or privilege to be RACIST! African-Americans are just exuding anger that that's evident in the fact Blacks aren't really represented well in the work force and the socioeconomic issues that keep African-Americans at to bottom! I am clearly a Negro with a dream and no RACIST SYSTEM is holding be back!

[MyQuarterback]

@kjones2345 So you went the institution at the vanguard of perpetuating white supremacy to learn you history; Stop teaching that Negro apology theology. Black people should only consider a paradigm shit the day after the Jews shift there paradigm concerning the holocaust, not one day before.

@kjones2345 You must be an uncle tom or a Ngoni as are Ghanaian brothers and sisters say.

[agnosticautonomy]

@kjones2345 you could not be more wrong.

[kjones2345]

@agnosticautonomy the "black" label is racialist thinking. Like Malcolm said after his pilgrimmage, "its not about being good or bad black and whites, its about being good or bad human beings." By even calling it black liberation, these racialist thinkers play into the hands of white racialists who feed off of denying all that is black.

[agnosticautonomy]

@kjones2345 Calling it "black liberation" is racial but it is not racist. Also, black liberation is not exclusive to only black people.

[kjones2345]

@agnosticautonomy thinking in terms of race only perpetuates the problem that black liberation ideology seeks to end. The fact is that "race" has little to no biological significance because we are all human. The only way to end racism is to focus on the things we have in common. This is the point I am trying to make, because as long as the black label remains there will always be whites trying to counter or call it racist. Also, I am quite aware that it isnt exclusive to black folks.

[agnosticautonomy]

@kjones2345 Focusing on things that we have in common is a good way to move forward in race relations; but I like to learn about the history of black peoples and the history of what they have gone through. It teaches us where we have come from and what we have persevered through. Unfortunately the truth hurts, but it is the truth.

[ShabazzAllah1]

@kjones2345 We are BLACK people first and foremost. forget all that mumbo jumbo your talking about.

[kjones2345]

@ShabazzAllah1 To believe you are "Black" is to believe you are inferior.

[LadyJay114]

@kjones2345 : Why is "black" synonymous with inferiority?

[BrotherFlagg]
