That Gay Thread

[The Architect Of Fate]

Using Black Wall Street as an example of the good stuff black people can do if they're left the Hell alone is frankly absurd. While, yes, Black Wall Street was prosperous in its day (there's a reason Booker T. Washington gave Greenwood District that name), without dismantling the White Supremacist Power Structure, it was doomed to eventually fail. Not because there's some inherent flaw in black people that made it fuck up, but because the racist white people who lived there were pissed off enough by its success that they eventually found the first incident they could use as a pretext to burn the whole place down, leave 10,000 black people homeless in the aftermath of what is likely the biggest incident of racial violence, and leave its success forgotten for almost a century.

It's almost as if the majority hating you and society villainizing you makes you unsafe

So your idea is to live among those same people and expect better treatment? Black people fought back and were giving the white supremacists that work until they brought out plans and began to bomb them from the air.

The point is, the black folk weren't hampered by racist policies because they had their own community. No amount of legislation is going to stop someone from breaking into your house and killing you if that's what they wanted to do.

That is ultimately what MLK's protests were trying to accomplish, because it's probably likely to give better results in the long run. And, if nothing else, the (admittedly nowhere near ideal) progress made in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s may have something to do with why race riots today tend to take the form of black people getting pissed off that one of their own was killed and not white people looking for an excuse to kill black people.

Listen guys, my life has been tough, I've been through some serious difficult times. Everyone hates me, therefore, I am under no obligation to make it easier for those who come after me!

The gay thread has turned into huggys black separatist thread. Know the difference between a black separatist and a white one?

Nothing.

So black people wanting to escape the system of white supremacy are the same as the white supremacists they want to separate from... makes sense.🙄

And use the same idiotic rhetoric too, as you've handily demonstrated in thread. I think that you should have to pay the white supremacists reparations for stealing their schtick.

Let's explore your fantasy in light of your remarks. You and all your black separatist buddies fuck off to who knows where to set up whatever silly ethnostate you have in mind (and we'll just ignore how much of a trainwreck it would be for funsies). Will you be taking the peener police with you, so that you can just absolutely shit on your preferred minorities when you get there?

For a "genius", dear old huggy has a major compression issue.

You're talking real dumb right now. Every single immigrant group has their own community that looks after their own interests. The Asians, Jews, Italians, Irish, Hispanic, east European, Caribbean and African all have or have had thier own little enclaves, where they would spend money and share resources within thier own community, yet if decedent's of American slaves talk about doing the same thing, all of the sudden were the same as the white supremacists.... you sound like a damn clown 🤡
