Prove Me Wrong

[The Honorable]

It is my opinion that some Black Americans are losing focus on what Black Empowerment is about. Instead of collaborating with other Black people to build the future we want, we focus on attacking Black people who we say are NOT building the future that we want. We end up with a pie in the sky mentality hoping that someone will fix our ills. At one time it was Jesus and today it's a reparations check.

This unfortunately very true. I think it plays to the fact it's easier to criticize the next man rather than one putting in the work themselves. I think social media exacerbated the issue cause now criticizing can lead to more clicks and views. Whereas truly putting in the work may not be as glamorous on the day to day.

We as a people need to learn it's ok to move in a circle if the circle involves setting an agenda or goal getting everyone to put in reour es to accomplish stated goal accomplish said goal then repeat. That's a limitless conversation but it leads to continuous action which builds a sense of unity.

I don't see this as a topic that has been controversial or debated. But you never know. Someone might be willing to play devil's advocate.

What also frustrates me is how quickly some of us are always critiquing someone black. For instance the the other thread in this section. We can debate but are we really debating the merits of Jason Black and MLK?? Our open enemy should have our undivided attention instead we get tribal about who we should or should not listen to in the B1 community. Can we keep the main thing the main thing which is fighting white supremacy.

Brother Honorable, WE haven't lost focus, WE never had it. How can we expect Unity when nothing has been Unified?

It’s a great point and I cannot argue against it. How do you think we can go about creating unity?

I haven't seen it since Malcolm, Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad, Huey & the Black Panthers.
