There is a much larger priority in the Jewish community, when it comes to preserving business, religion, and culture. I have yet to see the dedication they have in the black community. It doesn't even begin to exist on the same level that they have. One could criticize them for only "being out for self," whereas black folks care way to much about other people and image.

It doesn't sit well with me to shop at only black/urban stores, or go to black owned businesses, just because I have a particular skin tone. My family history consists of more than just black people. It doesn't help that it's a tad difficult to even find black owned whatever that applies to my likes and interests.

I just looked that roster up.... Marvel has won me back like 75% between this and a lot of these soft reboots. I just need them to fix their cosmic characters to be pre Thanos War good and i will be back on board 100%

DC is still mostly dead to me

I'm not sure if its an overwhelming desire to not be racist in "retaliation" or its a will to put the past behind (even though it dismisses the current issues) that drives that decision for me...

I'll work on it though. See if I can't find some clothing stores that don't push urban all the time time next week.

There's the key word in your post. If black people had a book telling them Africa was some magical sacred land and it's people were the chosen children of God you'd see similar behavior in the community to "preserve" the sacred people.

Susan Rice in 1986 book: Make white students learn black history

In a 1986 book by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, the future diplomat argued for the aggressive inclusion of a black history curriculum in American schools, claiming that its omission had “crippling effects” by “providing a child with no more than … a white interpretation of reality.”

There are NO racist Conservatives. Just racist Liberals. Many are black, most are just guilty whites.

Republicans have always been about progress and liberality in thinking. Democrats, otoh, have always been about controlling people's lives, slavery, showing contempt for the common man by trying to buy him, condescension, and, in general, having little respect for natural rights.

I'm watching her live performance on Youtube right now, and you'd have to fight me to the death. I don't simp, however for her, I would make an exception.


I really could have met her, I think my old ass cousin who plays the trombone for a living met her (salty) because of my Uncle.

I need a "comment blocker plugin" for my browser for my own safety/health.

That was a good discussion in the Poligaf thread too about history and what is generally covered in school (school history focusing on US/European history with very little black US history).
