My man , reading this made me feel a little better. I used to feel heavily obligated to carry the weak in order for our group to survive and succeed within this society. We have those that are successful, but they get it and don't band together to make more power moves but most of that is fear of losing what they have so it's understandable.
And anybody who got it good w/ the FED
Asians have economic power b, which is right under institutional power. At this point, it'd be damn hard for anyone not Asian to own a nail shop or a hair store in minority neighborhoods, even for the core demographic whom those services are provided for. Asians, whether it be those from China, Korea,Vietnam, Japan, etc. have economic power and comradery. KAGRO is big for Korean-American grocers and they make moves, I received a scholarship from them and they do what they do to support their own. They don't really NEED the finances of White America in order to flourish per se. Most of the imports come from Asia so they get the hookup, especially w/ weave and other items.
The issue at hand is those with success usually dont build infrastructure. The reason you have racoons and weak people is because that pro black talk sound good but folks still poor and arent seeing tangibles. Kids listen to rappers because they can see the tangible things such as cars and homes that rappers got from acting foolish, and at the end of the day people want to be on the winning team. Handing out turkeys and toys aint doing a damn thing when tomorrow folks will still be poor. When people start building infrastruture folks wont question the idealology of working together. Most of these pro black talkers havent built a damn thing thus they are seen as hotep clowns and many of them are hustlers just trying to make bread, so people see many of them in the same light as crooked preachers.
Word up, I've been thinking the same thing. I'd like to consider them treadmill movements, where they move but go nowhere. I'm tired of people saying "stay woke" but not doing anything or building anything to really wake people up. I've reached out to folks a few times to sit, and really hash out moves to be made in order to build something and got ignored, but then they prance around a non-profit events like they're really trying to do things.
I'm not where I want to be financially and I'm trying to get there, once I do, I'm going to make moves on my own. Tired of not being able to build something and be proud of it. I'm sure I'll be the Little Red Hen by then too.
