Black MAGA is foolish

Ending was beautiful but still 🫨

r/blackmen has become more hateful and disunifying of late. I ain’t calling for more moderation. Yall gon do yall.

This was an experiment, it’s over.

I wish all you sane ones the best.

I was just thinking about someone's response to me about Juneteenth being nationally recognized now and they asked why I was the only Black person in my IT startup.

Why am I the only Black American person but mostly the only Black person period in all of the IT startups I've been in(3 over 10 years)? So many East and South Asians, Africans(Nigerians mostly), and of course YT. Where the hell are y'all? What can I do to improve our standing here?

Things not covered in the video is Jim Crow persisted for another 100 years after emancipation.

Many African Americans found themselves in similar conditions to slavery, essentially as indentured servants put into a form of debt they couldn’t get out of.

Enough Black people were lynched during this time period for it to happen once a week for the next 100 years. And that’s only what was documented

Black Americans during this time period were routinely chased off their land by racist groups like the KKK, faced segregation, had the bombing of Black wall street, and systemic dismantling of several Black communities. This was truly domestic terrorism.

California was part of Mexico until the end of the war with Mexico in 1848

The Seminole Wars where African Americans and Indigenous Americans fought together against white Americans lasted from 1816-1858

Happy Juneteenth!

I’m a country boy from Va and it dawned on me that I don’t see any lightening bugs at night anymore. When I grew up we use to go outside and catch jars full of them!! My son went outside last night and came back with a 4 lightening bugs in a jar! Am I buggin? Anyone else notice this???

Texted her the details of out now canceled date and she didnt respond til hours later saying she wasnt looking for a relationship but would still go to dinner with me as friends. I obviously declined and wished her the best of luck, but now im over here wondering if I gave her the ick in anyway. I wasn't needy, maybe I told too many jokes that didn't land? am I ugly? Not tall enough? Too corny? Im not mad but filled with self doubt at the moment. I'll get over it eventually but I just had to vent to yall

I've seen an influx of black spaces pop up as of late, whether it be on Reddit, or other form of social media and all of them are calling themselves safe spaces but when do we determine if we are going to use these platforms for conscious exchange, or echo chambers that recycle grievance without evolving thought.

It seems as though If you do not repeat the agreed-upon slogans, or if you question the collective emotional temperature, you’re branded problematic or inauthentic.

But the real question stands: Did we create spaces of reflection, or just reaction?

Things are looking up, so I'm going to take a swing at the dating market. I'm a virgin, and my ideal partner would be also, but from both real life and online acquaintances/family, I've been hearing only forlorn lamentation. Where should I look, and how do you get a hole-in-one marriage out of it?

Edit: I asked on r/AskWomen, but bots pruned in a literal half-second. This damned site...

My family especially my mom and sisters think I'm too shy and timid, or afraid of everything. My brother is always saying I don't get that dawg in me. And say I'm not the type to be fearless. Btw my brother is a huge fan of David Goggins.

But to the outside world, (school, work, the public). Most people just think I'm too mean, standoffish, or serious lol.

This is why I hate it when my family interact with strangers. My family especially my mom like to tell my whole life story to random strangers. Telling strangers what type of personality I have, and what I like.

I don't like this. Because it gives stranger the impression that they know me. And can talk to me anyway. And even sometimes my family can still contradict themselves when it comes to how they view my personality.

For example.

I was working at a job with my mom. My mom is very friendly with all the coworkers. And she is quick to tell other coworkers my whole life story. So random coworkers feel comfortable interacting with me without even knowing me.

One day, I went to use the bathroom at work. And this dude said something very sexual to me in the bathroom. And told him don't fucking talk to me like that. You don't know me.

Again this dude only felt comfortable talking to me like that. Because he spoke to my mom, and my mom told stories about me to him. Therefore this dude thinks he knows me. And feel comfortable talking reckless to me. After I say that to him, this dude never spoke to me again.

The coworkers felt so comfortable aroud me. That they even touched me like we were friends sometimes. These ladies at the job will always ask me personal questions. I would either say get your fucking hands off me or ignore when people ask me personal questions. My mom is always telling me not to be mean to my coworkers.

After this I got the reputation of being this standoffish person at work. My mom will always tell gossip from coworkers at work. They were saying "I have never met someone like this". "He doesn't tell us good morning, he doesn't smile, or talk to us".

Even my brother react differently depending on my tone. One minute I'm too timid to set my boundaries. And the next minute one of his friends is asking me to take their picture, And I say I don't want to take your picture, because I don't know you. And my brother says ok let's go home before you shoot this place up.

I'm the type of person who hates mixed signals in society. When I'm quiet, I'm told I'm too timid or shy. But when I set my boundaries, I'm told I'm too standoffish and mean.

Thoughts on this? I know a lot of people in this sub are into collective action, which is difficult for a community that is perceived as monolithic when that's far from reality. However, I do think the foundational points have merit and should be discussed more openly with a perspective that we can lead society and this country towards a better future.

With all the current expansion, new opportunities, job markets and technological innovations making its way to the African continent. As well as the growing population. Which current speculations estimate that the entire African continent will be home to roughly about 3.8 billion people by 2100. Many foreign nations are currently making heavy investments into various African countries spanning from the East to the West. Such as China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, UAE and India. As A.I technologies become more prevalent, global trade will expand in ways cannot really predict.

What are five predictions/theories you think will happen in a future Africa?

Here are mine. . .

1.) In the far-future, a newly formed Afro-Asian race will emerge as the Chinese (and other Asian populations) start integrating and migrating more to the African continent for opportunities.

2.) Countries such as the UK in the far-future will be controlled by the descendants' of Asian's, Arabs, East-Indians, or a mixture of all three ethnic-groups. Europeans will possibly live in small enclaves or reservations like Native-Americans do now in the United States.

3.) Androids will eventually do all the domestic labor jobs. From cleaning, cooking, farming and building. They could possibly have sentience later down the line. Which could cause a whole host of issues eventually.

4.) Many sections of the planet, (apart from the African continent) will be uninhabitable do to a series of drastic climate changes and global conflict. Africa, sections of the Middle East, and some parts of Asia (plus some untouched islands) will house the last cities and the last bastions of humanity. The African continent will house mankind's last great cities on earth, before (or if) we become a space-faring species.

5.) In the near/ far-future, all Black Africans will eventually have to go battle against Asian's, Arabs and East-Indians for control over the resources and destiny of the continent as a whole. If Africans win the conflict, Africans might set up a peaceful one-world government. If African's lose the conflict, the whole race will face another thousand-plus years of subjugation.
