I don't believe we have to worry too much about people stealing Black identity. Who or what will define Black power? White folks are going to fight reparations with every fiber in their being & every bullet they can load into a chamber. Everybody won't be able to identify as Black for several reasons. Racial discrimination is committed by those who have power over other races. The majority of people do not want to be Black. That includes many Black folks.😎

I guess it would be helpful to know the changes you are referring to which Black folks were forced to adapt.😎

The main thing they are trying to keep under wraps is who among the wealthy & powerful was hanging out with Epstein. They are more concerned with protecting the reputation of rich pedophiles far more than their victims. That is why neither political party wanted to open this particular can of worms...Epstein files. I believe they will continue dancing around & kicking the Epstein file can down the street for years. Similar to what they have done with the JFK assassination files.😎

@ProfD yes, change is possible from day to day let alone the course of a lifetime. And human beings do react/act in response to changes. But said reactions are not always accordingly while said reactions are never right or wrong. Negative or positive? yes, but not right or wrong and in the context of the usa, this is a huge topic. the usa has the most internally multiracial gathering of humans beings under any government in humanity. Which means by default changes in the usa, as whites in the usa have been learning [ slower than all others but more and more ]since 1492 , tend to be against all groups/communities/gatherings benefit. The examples are plenty in the usa. White individuals who are less aligned to the white populace while more aligned to their individual desires have less problems with the largess of mexicans/chinese/indians in the usa. White individuals who are more aligned to white communal life by default have more problems with the largess of the non white europeans whose lives by default weaken the positive potential of the white community to do for its own. Modern day Harlem is majority non black, black individuals in harlem whose personal life could handle the changes brought on by the non black in harlem have survived or thrived. Black individuals in harlem whose personal life was attached and needed the environment when harlem was majority black have been pushed out or have succumbed to a misery in harlem. Immigrant individuals post immigration act of 1965 who can survive being the only person like them in some place within the usa have done better. Immigrant individuals post immigration act of 1965 who needed a simulation of their monoracial environment from whence they came are going through ever increasing problems , culminating in immigration and customs enforcement parking themselves in immigrant communities in cities knowing most in the community are adherents to some illegality. NAtive American individuals from the european colonial age have always done better when able to live alone or as a small group among the hordes of second peoples. Native American individuals tied to the first peoples way of life , as one of my heroes Tecumseh, have lived a life of terror from 1492 to 2026 and counting. But no matter how any of the peoples mentioned react to change, no reaction is right or wrong, nor according. By default, change is the most unaccording thing. IT is interesting, you chose the incomplete phrase, humans adapt to changes accordingly. Adapt means to fit. Accord means to be in line. Thus whenever I have heard that phrase " humans adapt to changes accordingly" or read it most recently, it is interesting, philosophically, how incomplete the phrase is. Human reaction to change includes adaptation + lack of adaption. to speak only of human adaptation is to partially ignore the fact that a human does not have to adapt /fit the changes. and changes being according/liking or even or harmonius is only for those that choose to fit/adapt. The heritage of Black descended of enslaved speaking as such comes from black enslaved parents from 1492 who like 99% of thier descendents in the european colonial phase of the usa or the usa itself till 1980, had nothing to give black children, sometimes not even time, so provided lessons, sharp, inflexible, which served survival functions for the black child as an individual. ala to a black child, "you must adapt to changes accordingly" That language is a very old Black DOS heritage, brewed through centuries of being terrorized by whites, unable to collectively do anything, forced to survive as individuals with constant negative changes imposed by others, beyond any black individual to control or deter, no matter said black individuals happiness.
