  2. Brotha Malcolm X had it right when he said white folks have zero business being involved in Black organizations. Spies at best. All white folks have managed to do infiltrating Black affairs is keep Black sellouts, bootlicks and shills satiated on butter biscuits.🤣😎

    Race may be a social construct but white folks have definitely embraced using it to maintain their power and domination over non-white folks. Other folks use race and ethnicity to differentiate themselves. As @Pioneer1 mentioned above, there's no confusion among white folks when it comes to describing folks especially Black and Brown. Look no further than how 1) law enforcement deals with folks, 2) Black history is being erased and 3) illegal immigrants are being rounded up. Race is made up but IMO it is a universally accepted reality. Just ask people who have been marginalized and/or profiled for one reason or another.😎
  4. I used to think that China was trying to colonize Africa. That in and of itself is sinister enough. But now suspect something far more sinister than that. I suspect that the West is trying to re-colonize Africa THROUGH China. China takes control of an African community, funnels the resources back to China...where the West owns and operates most of the firms that USE those resources to make their goods. They don't even want Black workers anymore. They'd rather have Chinese workers who they feel are more docile and efficient. The plan is to let the Chinese and Arabs go into Africa to get the resources and bring them back to "zaddy".

    Found this in the library database. Should be able to order to the local library Monday. I have been thinking in terms of intellectual segregation for years. Maybe separation is more accurate but we must remember that Physics and Technology do not care.

    @Pioneer1 I see where your coming from, but in the usa, most people across all phenotypes or all other racial categories love the freedom of the individual to reject an implied definition by a lager body, whether the government, the local religious group, their parents, the city government, or the popular clic in the park. I don't think most people are confused in the usa, they love their individual self, and the collectives in the usa [parties of governance /clans/religious groups/scholastic communities/ advocacy groups/ and all others ]rarely are inviting or warm or purposeful as they need to be for their various flocks. @Troy Right the strangification to harlem is one of the results of Harlem being a former black neighborhood in a white city. right, white city government on a black neighborhood. It's funny the white jewish woman who is suing the yeshiva schools is saying the school her child is going to has negative scholastic qualities as you suggest the public school you went to had, and the yeshiva schools are segregated, how are they funded.. I am unsure, no article was willing to reveal that, the mother suggests little is going on at least with her child. The funny thing is, while the public school you went to which was funded by the white city government probably has many who think like you do of it , the yeshiva school , which gets public funds, defended itself saying it has the right to have the curriculum it has, which stings me. I can tell you that white/white asian/white latino/arab/ and all populaces outside of black people in new york city have failing schools , many of them, failing students, many of them , but for some reason, all non black populaces in nyc don't make a big deal of their failing schools or failing students. Troy , why do blacks, the DOSers, treat our failed students or failed schools like that? is it the unique history of enslavement ?all DOSers had in 1865 was education, no land, no money, no power, so all we had was education for self worth. Is that it? all humans know education is important. but no group hounds their failing students or judges so negatively schools with their children than black folks. why? I do feel sad for black people in nyc who failed in the scholastic system as children and had to deal with the houndings of black people, especially their elders, while all these other populaces in nyc have just as much failure if not moreso. but , no one seems to give a ... Eric Adams got on television and made so many speeches about black children as not doing enough, coming from broken homes, and needing mental help while black children were doing average. But when he gets the statistics from the state run test all children get, to white schools that return over 90% failure, no speech, what about those white kids mental health, or aspirational energy, where is all the condenmation that could easily be given to black children for being average, that is totally absent to failed white children, who i may add are in a school run by their literal elders. I .. [and for the record I went to public schools all over ninety five percent black, I will say averagely funded, I can't say if under or above the average, so any one reading this, the problem isn't public schools, and my parents went to public schools in nyc, sadly for them with all white teachers or mostly white teachers] Well.... how you teach a subject matters and the history of education in white european countries which the USA is has always been about defining what is correct, not discourse, not multilog, not study. It is about stating what is correct and drilling it into children's minds to make that statement correct in beyond the schools in normal discourse of the day. Most history books, and all history books for children elementary age [including at the private schools or great public schools] don't even go into a proper explanation of race/government/peace/war/naming things/variances in human heritage or culture/ and more which they should before they go into the history of humans beings. In this very forum with adults, black adults, the definition of black is not uniform, so how can black history be explained to the elementary children in the usa satisfactorily when the goal is pushing concepts as true or false. Black isn't african, white isn't european. The book you say said Black history started with slavery, properly worded enslavement. also said slavery ended in the usa, which is a lie. So I just want to say many children's education in the usa is based on poorly taught subjects. MAny , and said many includes most whites as well.
