Politics are not the answer for black people, never have been, never will be. Been knocking on that door for too long now...nobody has answered...STOP knocking!
This is not to say that some well-meaning but, misguided, black people have not attempted to promote change through these channels but...c'mon people...it aint workin'
I would also like to add, that black people are NOT a monolith. There is room for a plethora of opinions, discourses, methodologies, and passions in the struggle...HOWEVER...there is no room for self loathing and the loathing and mistrust of other black people.
Sorry
That wasn't the direction I was trying to go, I could have been more careful.
My point was / is that I struggle to see that we collective "Earthlings" have learned from our past. I was trying to illustrate the current domestic and international status quo compared to history seems to suggest this.
