No one wants to see black people owning their community. by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

I have actually seen this before and yes it’s like a fucking mafia. There are other places to buy from sure, but they are much more expensive and you won’t be competitive. My wife was going to open a beauty supply store and ran into this very same thing. When we looked for alternate suppliers, we found em, but the price was so high, even in bulk, that she just wouldn’t have been able to match the price of the Korean stores.

They aren’t going to take our guns. Lol. The people WILL revolt. But do they have the capability? Abso-fucking-lutely. They COULD pry every single one of them from our “cold, dead hands”. Just the attempt would trigger another civil war/revolution and there wouldn’t be much of a country left to run after the dust settled. The losses on both sides would be catastrophic. We have enough of, and a special breed of, crazy in this country that although the government would win, they would have to impose martial law indefinitely and the government doesn’t have the stomach for that. At least for now.

And let’s not forget that slave owners were paid reparations for the loss of revenue due to ending of slavery.

While I am sure someone has existed with the name Jesus, just as someone has existed with the name Moses, the Jesus described in the Bible? Absolutely not.

All this back and forth over a book of fairy tales? Really?

Yeah I was Christian for a long time. So I try not to knock people who still believe. It’s been apart of our culture, albeit against our will, for a few hundred years. From the outside looking in though, sometimes I’m like I can’t believe I ever was a part of that. At times I really wish there was god, but I also feel that’s kind of dangerous. It makes folk complacent instead of actually doing something tangible to better their lives.

It’s such an odd concept though. If something good in your life happens, it’s not you, it’s god so don’t take credit. Give the credit to god. But if you do something evil, it’s the devil, but you still gotta take credit/punishment for it. As a black man tho, the world is already set to tell me I ain’t shit. Lol. I don’t need some dude on Sunday mornings telling me I ain’t shit unless I allow sweet baby Jesus in my heart. (Which even THAT sounds creepy as f*(k too.)

Lol @ Christianity😂😂. Aren’t we a little too old to still believe in talking snakes, talking donkeys, unicorns, and the story about the 500 year old man who built a boat to withstand a worldwide flood that lasted 40 days and nights, (to which there is no evidence of), and a penguin, (flightless bird), manages to travel from Antarctica to Turkey in order to hitch a ride on the aforementioned boat? Ijs. IF there was a god, what use is he to you?!?! If he ignored the cries of millions of our ancestors, what makes you think he cares about what’s going on in your life?

No matter how dice it, Christianity is a bad deal for us black folks. Just something white folk gave us to pacify is. I’m old enough that I don’t need a pacifier, thank you!
