Posted in the Black American/African American GroupThe Voting Rights act was Judge Roberts end game dating back to 1981 when he went to work for Reagan. We all knew in 2016 that this was a possibility, but certain segments of Voters and Non-Voters did not heed the warning. They didn't heed the warning in 2024 either.
Aside from that slow chipping away ending in last week's outrage
We had two hits prior.
1. College Admissions.
2. The Fearless Fund.
The more dangerous one was The Fearless Fund being deemed racist. Why? As we all know Black Americans have always moved together in community behind Americas Back. A few white men got an attitude because for ONCE they didnt ALL of our money without serving us and thats how we ended up having it made illegal to look out for each other.
Im kind of rambling here but the fix is in. I dont know if I will be participating in the body politic anymore. I truly believe this is a shit hole country filled to the brim with racists and bigots. I fucking hate America. Like throw me in prison because I refuse to file taxes going forward. Fuck these fuckers and their next 20 generations.
They dont deserve my money or yours. If you can, hold onto as much of it as possible the next few years. I look forward to the total destruction of our economy and will do anything and everything in my power to inflict pain on the dominant culture. Including letting the peaches rot on the trees this year in our Georgia Orchards. Ive also directed our farm CEO to throw out the strawberries this year on the Mississippi and Alabama land. If they want to give it to Black Churches, or let
Black churches that serve the community come in and take it for free thats fine.
But everyone else? IDGAF if they go hungry, cant get an abortion, or their precious Palestinians are wiped off the face of the planet. They deserve the worst and thats that. PeriodT. You didn't give a fuck about us - so your issues and genocides and bullshit are no longer my concern. You have the exact country your Magat and Third Party - or non-voting ass because of 'principles' deserve.
I hope it hurts.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

(2,379 posts)There are black churches and charities in central Georgia who could use help.
Our people thrive when we turn our resources to help them. Sell the fruit and donate it to defense funds for our people. Kemp is a lying cheating asshole but he is not stupid. We have every right to be angry but we cant hurt black folks because of them. South Georgia is being destroyed by wildfires, there are many black farmers there, we can direct the help where it is needed most. Dont let these racists steal your humanity we can change course and protect our communities. Girl pay your taxes, they would like nothing better than to make an example of you. Justice in this country is an illusion, we are the ones who feed their for profit prisons. My mom was not right about a lot of things but she was right about dont trust them and do let them see what you got because they will try and destroy you.

(38,104 posts)I'm affiliated with three Black churches in NJ (I'm a UU though) who we have rapid responses for. We can pay our full time/regular employees to NOT work for 7 years before it impacts them.
We also still own the land the school is on my grandfather built to make Separate but Equal Equal for Black children. I've not re-upped the lease that expired in September 2011. A month after my dad died, and when final signature was handed down to me.
I've seen how effective the white people in the south have been with their 'Christian Schools' and I'm thinking of making it strictly a Christian School for children of specific churches . . . we can make sure all of the Black families are 'affiliated'. Note - it was originally built K-12 in the Jim Crow Era.
I want my land back. It's that simple.
I don't think people realize how many families there are like mine. People who could REALLY hurt municipalities throughout the South. We are like Trojan Horses being activated this week. Our Grandmas and Great Grandmas were friends. Our Great Grandfathers met each other at the Niagar Convention.
Now is the time to use that money to hurt the White Supremacists. The South is rising again . . .
Let's inflict pain on the White Supremacists in power down there.

(2,379 posts)The principal lived on church land next to the school. They were invested in the childrens education. They mortgaged their farms to send the children to college because education was important to the uplifting of the negro community. In the north not so much. The Unitarian church has stood with black community all through our struggles. We are starting to see we need to handle black business,
Some folks aint about us. Black seeds will continue to grow.

(114,484 posts)-pretty clearly bounded by indiscriminate resentment approaching hatred. Some justified, but unfocused, untargeted resentment and anger? Pretty self-defeating I've always found (and I have likewise been tempted toward that reaction so this isn't mere finger-pointing)...

(38,104 posts)Policing Black Women's emotions and response to the outright ASSAULT on us, our husbands, brothers, daughters, cousins, etc. etc.
Get used to it.
There are NOT a lot of Black folks at DU. You aren't seeing or hearing what is REALLY happening.
We aren't very nice when we aren't online.
Don't take it personally. We don't need the permission of white leftists to be enraged OR told to monitor our language or told how to respond.
If you feel the need to come into the Black American group and chastise us on any level . . . That's a You Problem - not a JAG one.
Also - we've never received a single penny from the Govt for our Agribusiness. It's a cash cow. I can continue to pay our workers to NOT work for the next seven years without blinking.
And that's the beauty of dual Italian Citizenship. I don't have to stay here. And with the current well deserved hatred of America by the rest of the world? There's not a Polizia in the country of Italy that would grab the wife of the former nobility to send to America to be tortured, murdered, degraded by a bunch of white supremacists.

(114,484 posts)First you have no idea what the race is of most DUers--nor the gender for most unless they list it.
And some, mind you, just might be your biggest advocates if you would not slap them in the face and excoriate them at every turn. Hate begets hate. Just saying. Let others join you and you might just find common ground.

How's that Stone Mountain working out for you? See - I have a REALLY long memory.

He's ELECTABLE!
He's a fucking idiot.
They don't understand angry Black people who are ready to retaliate. We are already seeing it in the Texas Senate Race. We had 400 years of enslavement, 12 years towards freedom, 78 of Jim Crow, became Citizens and Human beings in 1965, reached the mountain top - and that blew a huge chip into the Dominant Culture's shoulder . . .
All of this time, Black Americans have NEVER retaliated.
We've also lived in a country that makes Palestine and Apartheid South Africa look like cake walks.
What part of "we don't have to lift a finger" to help the Leftists out? We have the Grit of Intergenerational Trauma which says we can survive 100 years of MagaPubs.
They need to be nicer to us. They need to court us. We need to
If we don't . . .
