    Navigating the Internet and not getting radicalized by any content is difficult. You do have to keep a level head and know that individuals are just that, but damn has it been hard the last couple weeks I can’t even lie

    Could you give some examples of things you you've seen recently that could radicalise someone?

    Why does being concerned about your own community cause rage in people? The fact that black people act like there is no urgency or danger in political matters is white brainwashing and contributes to the situation now

    Social media as platforms are designed to gamify individuals emotional responses. On the whole except for that small sliver of “good content”, it’s designed to either leave you depressed or enraged. What I meant was that if you take bunch content pulled over the years of that disparages BAs (whether tactically done for continue infighting or “keeping receipts”) it’s probably going to illicit a strong emotion either way.

    I posted some examples previously I still think the Grammys as a whole + BHM kick off + the Shaboozey acceptance speech was really the events that took it from the niche discussion to something with actual traction to the point ABC is using the term Foundational Black American

    People are not single minded as you think they are. Do you think people are incapable of multi tasking like this?

    When the italians invaded Ethiopia black Americans were waiting in droves to enlist to defend their land. That type of revolutionary spirit is what has to be kept alive and that is the essence of pan Africanism. This is what i am concerned about

    I just don't see these viral anti-black online s*** and decide to viscerally react and radicalize off that like other niggas do.

    Sounds MAGA-esque to me

    I mean your ability to parse through that is great but clearly we have a track record of as humans of being easily manipulated through the means of target
    Disinformation campaigns through social media. It’s been like this since RT got s*** popping in 2015, and probably even earlier if we really talk about it. Almost a decade later we’ve had two elections filled with the s***, Gaza, Covid, Tigray, proliferation of AI, Sudan, and plenty of other campaigns I’m missing off the of my head. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say people’s minds are vulnerable than ever

    You nor I nor anyone itt can help those vulnerable minds (which to me is a proponent of a bigger issue…a generation of parents that was raised under the No Child Left Behind system) all you can do is do what you can do in your own real life for your community and not get caught in what honestly erupts into nothing but a bunch of chatter.

    Like I said, when the FBA is capable of showing something that is feasible like lets say a Rainbow Coalition (shoutout to fellow FBA Fred Hampton Jr. y’know, for not believing in separatist thought), then I’ll be more advised to take s*** seriously.

    But as of now, I’m just wishing all these agents like Tariq, Umar, Polight, etc all caught hot ones between the eyes.

    I hate grifters bro.

    I hear you & mostly agree with you

    Native American & Black/African Americans/American born Africans are the only two groups who didn't come here as migrants (one being native/original etc & the other being stolen/kidnapped/brought against their will)

    We really gotta normalise using European American or Irish American etc too tbh

    It's similar to how the UK been doing Caribbean folks i hear
    They invited them niggas to help them rebuild after the war due to having major labour shortage & then they enacted policy to deport folks & make folks with mildly incorrect paper work(due to filing errors/not reapplying etc) lose their rights, I think the lady who stopped Tyler The Creator from going over there was at the heart of it too

    & then we get impressionable people coming to their defence because they fell for/received a sliver of hope from these grifters

    Folks really got respect for people like Cathy Hughes & yet she was caught calling 'poor & middle class' black people 'house & field' niggas & she has so much influence over traditional black media channels
