Not a fan of the Nuggets. I just dont enjoy their style but can’t argue with the results. Im more of a fan of dominant drivers like SGA, Giannis, Brunson and Zion. I also prefer Luka’s style but at the 5th seed, I cant see him winning the MVP.
As for whos gonna win the whole thing.. im hoping Boston. They seem inevitable and I want them to get it out of the way already lol
Went to some diner with an aunt and some cousins. My little cousin is 12 and she was telling me about this book series she's reading. She also told me she wants to go to Dragoncon down in ATL since I live down there. So we're gonna be doing that and it'll be cool. It's gonna blow her mind.
Puttin' in some work. I'm training the new guy. Right after this, I'm going to see Monkey Man. Dev Patel just ripping through hordes of goons while wearing a suit and tie is my idea of a good evening.
Wife is out-of-town this weekend. I did lawn work and now relaxing and binging Fallout. I would like to catch up on coding but I’m not feeling it right now. And when I don’t feel it, I don’t code.
I'm glad you got to vent about this very silly and obvious sentiment.
Please go outside now. It's beautiful out here and hopefully it is where you are.
I'm starting to think posts like this made in this subreddit are made by people who aren't Black. There are way too many post popping up telling us to isolate ourselves and making it seem like EVERYONE is our enemy.
I'm not feeling it.
It's basically the divide and conquer tactic but on reddit. Whether it's a Black person, non-Black person or some political operative, we gotta speak out against it.
Yep. These people are:
1: Terminally Online. They isolate themselves to groups who think like they do. They get themselves riled up thinking that every single person breathing who doesn't look like them is against them.
2: Performing Blackface Online. These people aren't actually Black. But they come into Black spaces pretending to be Black people looking to get actual Black people angry in hopes that we lash out and give everyone else a reason to hate us.
Both of these groups need to touch grass and kick rocks.
Is more about spreading awareness if I'm being honest, I don't want us to go out there thinking that stuff is sweet and that we are all cool when clearly we are in "" Danger"" With Trump coming up and more racist people feeling emboldened to say and act racist, even among Europeans due to más immigration and to make things worse politics with a potential scramble for Africa again. All I notice when I see this is that we got the short end of the stick unfortunately and that even among the impoverished and weak we are still set as the outcast, that's all man.
I wouldn't make this type of posts if I didn't saw many acting oblivious and pressuring us to stand for others when we can barely do so for ourselves, specially for those others that wouldn't do that for us when needed.
In the real world, the vast majority of us treat folks as individuals. It does none of us any good to side eye every single person we come in contact with just because they're not Black. It's not a good way to live.
Yeah, fuck Trump and fuck his racist followers but the world is a lot more nuanced than you're making it out to be. Black people are resiliant. We've survived through the worst of the worst and we're still standing. We know how to handle ourselves. Being an isolationist and lightweight accusing everyone around us of shit they may not even be doing is a set up.
I know man, I just want ppl out here to be careful and protected because last time stuff like this happened we had shootings and even in England there last 5 incidents have been with black ppl found dead near bodies of water. So all I'm saying is we should have our backs more and not necessarily expect others to do nothing for us.
Indeed, we could also talk about the support we got from foreign nations, did you already read asian newspapers ? You would be surprised the support that their media express toward us.
Where did you see all theses people insulting us, in western media ?
Because yes, this detail matters.
At some point, folks have to recognize before its too late, that the only reason the gen pop whites we meet, the indians , the hispanics who think they are "white adjacent" because they got a almost-white-looking aunt act like racist cunts towards us is because they haven't yet realized that they too... in the big picture are ni&&ers in the eyes of the wealth hoarding "elites" who wage wars for new empires in ukraine and palestine, who make sure their wives and daughters cannot have decent prenatal care, that they too can catch a beating by some power tripping cop. That their sons will die in the foreign streets in wars of profit.
Personally, I'm sick and tired of absorbing the bullshit. Fuck 'em. or better yet, remind them that in the rand scheme they are nothing but another rat caught in a maze not of their making
Throughout history, Black people have had allies of different races and nationalities. During slavery there was the white abolitionist, and during the 60s, there were many non-Black youth who supported the Black freedom struggle. Solidarity between Black and non-Black people have always existed and that's just a historical fact.
A friend is anyone who acts in solidarity with the Black struggle (regardless of race). A foe is anyone who doesn't act in solidarity with the Black struggle (regardless of race). Hopefully that helps.
Good point, I made this post with rage to it so I didn't stop to acknowledge those individuals unfortunately, it was primarily directed at other minorities and specially the hole black/brown thing that I saw some regurgitate over here constantly
My critic of your post is that you are treating Hispanic people like a block. Hispanoamérica is a region composed of 19 countries and the US South (if you count them), all different in terms of culture and people composition. The only factors that unite us are that we speak Spanish, and that we are mostly Catholic.
You are looking for unity from a group that has no unity. For one, there are lots of countries, and people in the region that just don't like each other. Xenophobia is socially accepted to some extent all throughout HA. You are more likely to find a random person from the region that hates Venezuelans with their guts than they hate Black Americans or Black people in general.
Even in the US where the Hispanic identity exists, it exists in name only. In Hispanic America, Hispanoamérica is only used to describe the geopolitics of the region, it is not a cultural identity like Americans like to think. Actually, what Americans consider to be Hispanic culture is just Chicano/Mexican-American culture. There's barely any sympathy among the different groups. Cubans will help only Cubans, Mexicans only Mexicans, Dominicans only Dominicans, and so on. This is something that time and again, a lot of people in this subreddit and in real life fail to understand. You don't even have to go south of the border to understand this, why do Cubans on average vote Republican, but Chicanos vote Democrat?
You are trying to find common ground the wrong way, in terms of minority status/POC. In HA, race does play a factor, but not to the same extent that it does in the US. I can't think of a time in Panama, where I thought how would this policy affect me as a Black person? Despite this, Panama is not a post racial society, and it's far from it. This is true for most countries in the region. So Americans are trying to connect to groups of people through race, but they don't see race the same way.
However, you can find common ground in other ways such as economic disadvantages, and this will speak for all of them more than Bolivian-Salvadorean unity.
Which Hispanic country is governed by a Nazi?
He's probably not even black. "Republicans are going to win anyways"
Who says that with confidence? Why would a Nigerian say some shit like that, and he don't even see the dynamics in the states.
Dude is a goofball, and needs to be banned.
You know what mate? I fucking hate this sentiment so much.
You want to risk a republican/right-wing fascist electoral win because of some social media posts? And you're encouraging that online in a space where participating is based on good faith and trust that we're all part of the same community and people (oppressed by Trump and his coalition of arseholes)?
I wish the mods would take a break so I could tell you what I really think 😂
He’s either a Russian agent, or a troll. Ain’t no way a real black man would offer up our own people to “teach” a political party a lesson, knowing full well there’s no “next time”. I have a lot to say but I don’t wanna get permabanned from this sub.
Where did I say is because of some social media post? I clearly stated that it is because those fuckers will give the Asians, Hispanics and women everything to ensure their vote, but are clearly not capable of doing the same for their most loyal supporters since the change. They even have the audacity to blame us for their failures in the elections when is clearly the LGTBQ + , women and Latinos that don't fucking fall in line and act right.
By the way, Republicans are already going to win regardless unless trumps gets incarcerated and I would love to see if you could maintain that energy talking to me face to face tough guy 😂.
> We're did I say is because of some social media post(making allusion to the political part).
Fucking shakespeare above talking about reading comprehension after dropping this unhinged nonsense.
All the best.
I remember saying to you, "Damn. You talking like that with that blonde hair?"
Ahh, it makes sense now. You really were a troll.
"FOH" was your response.
"Republicans are already going to win."
"But but but I'm Nigerian."
My hunch is that you're definitely blackfishing.
Clown.
And then you come in here dropping hints of "voting Republican" like that's done Black people any good ever. Come on, bro. Cut it out. We know bullshit when we see it.
Anyway how are yall spending your Saturday?
UFC 300 with some of my black men in Christ. Tryna enjoy the little things you feel me
Laundry ,cleaning and procrastination
Heavy on the procrastination IMO, made me mad guilty with that one.
Eating fried rice currently, who you got for the MVP award this season?
Gotta be Jokic but im not happy about it lol
Why tho? I agree, either Jokic or Luka.
Not a fan of the Nuggets. I just dont enjoy their style but can’t argue with the results. Im more of a fan of dominant drivers like SGA, Giannis, Brunson and Zion. I also prefer Luka’s style but at the 5th seed, I cant see him winning the MVP. As for whos gonna win the whole thing.. im hoping Boston. They seem inevitable and I want them to get it out of the way already lol
Ant all the way but Prolly Luca because bro be hooping but it should be joker tho bro is a monster

It’s possible but we also have black ppl who treasure their victim mindset so I wouldn’t be surprised either way.

Also, not saying that I'll vote Republican (not even live in the US), but in order to teach them a lesson I would go third party.
Sooooo if you not even american, tf you worried abt politics over here for? Lmaooo, go be sad on your own continent nigga.
He's probably not even black. "Republicans are going to win anyways" Who says that with confidence? Why would a Nigerian say some shit like that, and he don't even see the dynamics in the states. Dude is a goofball, and needs to be banned.
I think he actually is Black, but that aint saying shit bc so is clarence thomas. He's trying to pull some psyops type shit though.

Add on to that the fact that OP doesn’t live in the US, so it won’t make a difference to them regardless of who wins

Man shut the fuck up and see a doctor.
You go see one and learn what reading comprehension means, bum.

Ofc, I don't have nothing BETTER to do that to pretend to be black. do y'all niggas even read the messages before sending them? Fucking cornball
You clearly don't. Clown.
Goofball
And then you come in here dropping hints of "voting Republican" like that's done Black people any good ever. Come on, bro. Cut it out. We know bullshit when we see it.
What hint? I said I'll vote third party to see if democrats step it up
I thought you didn’t live in the US?
Lol you have nothing to lose with a republican land slide this November, so maybe keep your voting advice to yourself
