I Believe your describing the “crabs in the barrel syndrome “

I Believe your describing the “crabs in the barrel syndrome “

Not sure if that applies here.

Two different barrels.

I'm biased, being that I'm mixed...but I don't see this conversation going anywhere productive.

 

[Kingof402]

So much jealousy and hate out here between each other. It’s a cycle. America is holding non whites down but also non whites hold each other down just as much. The cycle just repeats itself

[Kingof402]

This thread can be productive and helpful but NT will have this locked up in a few hours

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

Can't we have this conversation AFTER we get rid of Donald Trump?

nawghtyhare When your saying “brown brothers and sisters” what ethnicity or Group of people are you describing?

JUST as much?

Yea aight.

No way you honestly believe that.

The power structure ALONE can't allow that to be true anyway

Can't we have this conversation AFTER we get rid of Donald Trump?

As if HE is the cause/reason for it

OR

As if HE is what is getting in the way of progress being made.

Trump doesn't have anything to do with this

For YOU, I agree

Yes just as much, and that’s part of the problem. People rather point the finger instead of looking in the mirror. We all know America wants to hold non whites down. But the fighting against each other holds them down just as much. You know it’s true

 

[blastercombo]

What is “looking out for”?


I don’t see one race as a whole “looking out for” themselves. There’s always a divider at some point. Just some have it more split than others

 

[nawghtyhare]

that's a 2 lane street.

im speaking to u personally
i want ur honest opinion
dont hit me with all the other stuff u do to folks in threads
i ****s with u
be real with me
give me YOUR honest opinion
u dont think we(black folks) include or embrace yall???

 

[ninjahood]

naw, you need to talk to someone who doesn't come from a American colony (where immigration to da united states requires a hella lot more work and lobbyin groups accordingly) to get da actual diametrical side.

 

[KHUFU]

The divide is much more spiritual than it is physical. This was done by design. The less you are involved ancestrally, the less you can draw a connection to others who share the same hue as you.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yes just as much, and that’s part of the problem. People rather point the finger instead of looking in the mirror. We all know America wants to hold non whites down. But the fighting against each other holds them down just as much. You know it’s true

So, an entire SYSTEM of holding down non-whites is EQUAL TO what non-whites do to eachother?

How are you even equating the two. Keyword here EQUATING. How can you say they are EQUAL.

I am not denying people are crabs in a barrel to their own but that is a result of the systematic issues that we face.

No way in the WORLD is what we do to eachother holding the SAME weight as what is done to us by the powers that be.

Come on man

 

[atlsfinest]

I do think that there are issues that pertain specifically to the black community and muddying the waters with catch-all terms like "brown people"(i.e everyone whose not white) makes it hard to address those issues.

 

[blastercombo]

Yeah this convo going nowhere already.

@SupremeBeing5

Get your mans

 

[alchemist iq]
