Unfortunately, a lot of these people actually know better but they just want to waste your time, project their blame and faults and failures onto everyone else, "troll", gaslight, mislead you for their own motives and agendas, be defeatist under the guise of "realism" or undermine and dissuade you from reaching our goals.
Often times there is way too much talk by people who are woefully prepared or capable of speaking on “heady” topics. We came together on the flag, quite simply the existence of the flag and the initial embrace of the flag proves this reality. Have we done enough to propel that image beyond the boundaries of imagination & the physical boundaries of these shores?, I think not.
Yes, in a lot of those spaces the host(s) aren’t simply “schooled” well enough to keep the audience on topic. I’ve been in some spaces & have seen people being allowed to ramble way off topic & ultimately the space turns into a mud slinging contest. Occasionally I may share or give a 1 to 2 minute insight, but that’s it. Some spaces I sit & listen. I was in a space the other night that was definitely a mixture of ultra leftists Blacks, White members of the Alphabet Mafia, who by the way seemed steeped in some kind of Feminist Doctrine, and the topic was, you guessed it, voting habits of Black men as it relates to the Republican Party. 😂😂As if Black Women don’t vote Republican 😂😂 So before I was recognized to speak they put me out of the space. This was due, I believe, to my sending out laughing 😂emojis when some Blk Liberal started issuing veiled, but not so subtle threats about FBA.
These topics are getting out of hand. They love taking marginal cases and spreading them across reality to make things seem deeper than they are. Black men voting Republican is just a red herring and there people are babbling in Babble On about it😂
Exactly, Twitter is a huge time waster if you're not able to focus on big picture and significant things that will move the b1 collective forward. Over the last year I found that it became really loud with folks who were wasting precious time we don't have and being divisive about things that really don't matter. We don't need flags, we need national grocery chains sourced so that our folks won't suffer so much when the economy collapses. If you can't eat, access water, or have meds/care, it doesn't matter. Our people love being combative with one another and babbling about things that don't matter because we have low-self esteem and we're cowards. We are willing to fight each other over nothing because that's easy and makes us feel good about ourselves. Mature people are creating solutions and following the wisdom of our ancestors. Ain't no damned flag gonna help us further anything in America.
Sis you preaching on this one. I completely agree. When I would hit people with substantive solutions they would be dumbfounded. Yet always fight over semantics. You spot on. Lets start by increasing our power tool cache and growing our own food. Hell we need to really start with owning where we live so we have the right to use it to grow food and whatever else we see fit to do with what's ours.
You’re right about them taking fringe cases and blowing them up into wide scale problems. I see more focus on the issues than the solutions as well. They talk about immigrants more than they talk about working together.
