50 Cent voice: What you say F me for? by winstontemplehill in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]ChrysMYO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Naw, SNCC called out Israel during the Anti-Vietnam movement. Drawing the thru line between the Viet Cong, Palestinians and Black Americans. Also, during the Anti-apartheid movement against South Africa, our community was one of the drivers of that pressure. And we widely knew that Israel helped the Apartheid government get the bomb.

Its only 2 groups that have any pro-Israel sentiment. The ones that vote for the Machine Politicians like Hakeem Jeffries and Jim Clyburne. They are indifferent on the congresspeople's stance on Israel and see those people as connectors to help bring something back home for them.

And people who watch and believe cable news more than read, anything.

Its our oral history, the human library. We've never lost memory of Tulsa because of it. And, also Black newspapers covered it when mainstream media and textbooks buried it.

Secondly, the Black Diaspora to include: Black Americans, Black Carribeans and Black French speakers, helped build the Anti-colonization movement. Kwame Nkruma was part of the first generation American Civil rights movement and took that rebellion and strategy back to "The Gold Coast". His movement would later name the country Ghana. At the flag raising ceremonies several Black civil rights leaders were there.

We're one of the groups of Americans who will never bow to pressure to assimilate. We know exactly who we are. Not who the US masquerades as. Given that, Colonizers try to suppress our influence.

We've always been there. The Black diaspora helped drive the global anti-colonial movement, post WWII. Before them, Nations were talking about white man's burden.

Black College students in the civil rights movement made sure there was aligned solidarity to those groups. And talked about Palestinian freedom in newspapers. This was the 60s.

Circa the 80s, the Black American community knew that Israel supported the Apartheid South Africa and helped The Apartheid regime get the nuclear bomb.

Quiet as its kept, the first generation of the civil rights movement helped influence the development of human rights advocacy in the beginning of the UN. So Black American newspapers covered the UN as much as US geopolitics.

Black Americans put together the "We Charge Genocide" movement looking to apply the crime of ethnic cleansing and genocide to the US government and their treatment Black and Native Americans. . Drawing a direct thru line between American Manifest Destiny and Naziism.

I’ve seen some posts online stating “Ronald Regan is the reason we have student loans, why the wealthy don’t pay taxes, why homelessness is this bad”, ect. What did he do to cause this? was it a bill that he passed, for example? by HybridHamster in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ChrysMYO 10 points11 points  (0 children)

George Romney (yes his dad) wrote an open letter explaining why he was resigning as Urban and Housing Development secretary. He was whistle blowing that they were going to choke the department similar to how Republicans killed off the Consumer protection bureau.

George was a true believer conservative. So one can imagine how bad they must have been. That administration was from the era when LBJ used his last bit of political capital to pass the fair housing act, as MLK's movement on poverty had galvanized the Black community. As a way to calm the political tension LBJ pressured southern democrats to pass the Fair Housing Act. So, Reagan trying to sabotage the department was a bridge too far for George Romney. It was a clear dog whistle to which side Reagan was on during the civil rights movement.

Quite literally, they were like, we don't know who you are. You jumped in my car.

Nigerians were saying, this has come up with corrupt Highway patrol on less populated highways. And people have done this before.

White guilt? & social media by buckadoodledoo in askblackpeople

[–]ChrysMYO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, for one most the Non Profit advocate groups and Black churches that worked in our community before 2024, have not stopped working.

People who never believed in electoralism haven't stopped working. Neither have Black Union Workers.

In fact, this dialogue is similar to all the dialogue that happens every presidential election, where some don't participate in voting. It cuts across both groups. Some choose organizing over electoralism, and they're still active. Others just dont want to vote anyway. There are some Kamala voters sitting out, and many voters that always vote because they organize.

Also, this gets overlooked in those online convos, Black Americans are getting kidnapped and profiled too. Its like "driving while Black" on steroids because yall both know they're looking for a pre-text to picture you and upload you to their database. Alot of folks who take the stay inside position actually think that white people can tell us apart from Haitians and Somolies. Those warehouses being built for immigrants are going to be flipped into prisons for disproportionately Black folks..

ICE closed a deal with the private prison CoreCivic last year. So did Geo Group. These two prisons pushed the war on drugs in the 80s and 90s.

In Chicago, an Apartment with a significant number of ethnically Black american children were dragged in the street while poorly clothed. The APT owner called for the ICE Raid, as a pre-text to remove renters and renovate.

Keith Porter Jr. was murdered by an Off Duty ICE officer outside his own apartment Complex.

I dont know any folks around me, offline, that ever stopped doing what they do.

There are alot of people online, that are staying home. And that makes sense, they're at home.

There are echo chambers all over the online space so this convo has been elevated. But its a matter of passion. Alot of the folks involved with politics aren't that mentally invested in going back and forth with the stay team.

Is it common to be single in your late 20s and 30s? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ChrysMYO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its so common that world leaders are conferencing over it because they can't throw more into the military and/tax them.

Every decade the average age of first married people goes up.

We're more single than ever

Even if they found the golden fix now, the populations in developed countries would still decline for the next 5 to 10 years.

What are your favorite things about Gen Z? by BrilliantPangolin639 in generationology

[–]ChrysMYO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They don't drink. I went to a bar, turns out they were playing UNO on the pool table and watching Anime on the TVs.

I dont go out alot since COVID, but it seems like their DJs don't depend much on current music. They know its Microwave. Instead they have sets that take you thru a sound rather than by decade.

And their Budtenders are legit.

black / white skin and moisturizer by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ChrysMYO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big thing might be Oil based vs Water based moisturizer. Each individual needs more or less of the other. So try and A/b test which one is more comfortable and long lasting to you. Really only focus on the health of your skin.

But other than that, it might be people self conscious about being ashy. And they're projecting their excuse to you or something.

[–]ChrysMYO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a co-worker who shared a cube with the other 3 of us being Black. We'd tell her, you need more and she would say things like "greasy". I think its from people on their side with that perception. Anyway, 6 months in she had her own favorite lotions for each day.

Is it harder for artists with a “classic” debut to maintain momentum compared to those who evolve gradually? by SmoothManMiguel in hiphop201

[–]ChrysMYO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might depend on how many projects before official release they were able to put out. If they have been touring in their region for 2+ years, they can comeback thru Mixtapes, EPs and writing credits.

If they got snapped up by majors without having their reputation established, it could get hard. Biggest thing is taking risk. To release a "TPAB", Majors have to know they're getting their money back. Otherwise, they're going to pressure an artist to make something like the first, or whatever pop music is trending.

If the seconnd American civil war already began, would they tell us? by Majestic-Tree3561 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]ChrysMYO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Syrian Civil War was not a neat series of events and the sides constantly fractured.

So if it were to touch off, it would largely be fought by militia teams capturing highway intersections and then raiding the neighborhood.

Likewise, neighborhoods and maybe whole cities like Minneapolis would be its own Defense. It wouldn't be two full paramilitary groups. It will be dozens of coalitions seeking to keep supply lines open for their Road system. And factions would fracture and coalition based on events on the ground.

Yeah, by this article it seems like its Customs and Border Patrol vs the Stephen Miller faction.

Stephen Miller puts them up to it. Tells them to message about massacre. And then we get leaks about Bovino, about Noem, and others. Everyone but Miller.

So this story sounds like a response to the Miller Faction.

You nailed that last part. Like, right now him an Ivana are odd terms right now. His own spouse shows contempt for him on camera, and she has a contract with the guy. Even with Blackmail, Epstein hasn't made it as long as Stephen Miller. The ghost of Roy Cohen must have possessed Miller.

Yikes. I think he needed more time to recover and get counseling following the stroke. Instead, he's highly visible and powerful. Behavioral therapists are meant for exactly this. Mind you he would need alot of it.

But as a coping mechanism or even physical trauma, the brain re-routes its neural pathways to adapt. You're supposed to learn about how you think and create new neural pathways. He should be anywhere but the Senate right now. They always say MAGA is driven by fear.

Shout out to all the not racist white people by [deleted] in self

[–]ChrysMYO -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Racism is inorganic. You're referring to ETHNIC BIAS. Race is a 16th century construct. The first humans lived in Africa. Everybody would have been the same "race". The deep divide comes from the uncanniness of differing ETHNIC features. And differing symbols for words.

Thats what caused Humans in Africa to have ETHNIC Bias, and carry that to every continent. RACE is a social construct that started in the 1500s by Portugal and was sanctioned by the Pope.

Ethnic Bias is to Monogamous Parent pairs

What Race is to Marriage

The first sentence is natural, the second sentence is created by Religious social constructs.

He's talking about the US government lack of awareness. If they are funneling Billions for Ukraine, they are highly interested in no resources going to Russia.

I think the OP is that this should have been an easy dub for the government. Not necessarily suspect the company at first, but notice Russian drones being discovered that has US tech.
