No they don't.
And I'm sure Claud Anderson knows it won't just poof happen. That's why he's been putting in work for 40 years.

I disagree with part of his voting stance. There are just some people and issues voting for. There's no way you can deny it. There are literally open white supremacists that govern some of these states. I hate this no voting stance prominent black speakers have. It's not the means to end our sufferings but it is a tool that can be useful.

First you said it's not gonna happen like poof. Now you saying he's running in place when he's been setting examples and writing books for decades.
Aight man.

It really isn't that though. Continuation and evolution are two different concepts. One implies that there is no real connection and changes occurred in isolation while the other affirms a connection along with a living tradition. The differences you highlight all stem from historical moments from the same source. While the manifestations to these forces were different, the connections that brings them together are still the same. As it presently stands, the differences don't override the commonalities unless you want them to.

what part of the phrase running in place do you not understand?
running in place suggests you’re getting nowhere. aka, the things that need to happen in order for his dream to materialize are not getting done.
if those things are not being done after 40 years of trying, its not going to just *poof* happen all of a sudden.
there is no first i said, then i said.
it all runs together.
how old are you?
your arguments and understanding of this topic is extremely juvenile.

peep this interview at the 17:40 mark
the interviewer says, we already have...
- money
- resources
- businesses
- stores
- franchises
then asks Dr Anderson what is the missing link??
the FIRST thing Dr Anderson says is sense of community.
aka come together
aka get on the same page
aka agree on everything
then he goes into a list of 3 things we need first
1. economic structure
2. code of conduct
3. he never got to it
he thinks economic structure will just fall out of the sky to be put in place without an education in economics
im not against his plan, im saying the plan as is is destined to fail. one small tweak and it could work.
here, ill make it simple...
if you’re the new coach of a basketball team and the tesm has no idea how to play basketball, you can teach them how to be a team all day long, they have to learn the basics of the game first.
Dr Anderson is the new coach going onand on about how we dont know how to play basketball. then proceeds to try and make us a team.....lol
not to mention making us a team all while giving us a history lesson on why we will never be a team because of systematic racism.
this has been his approach for 40 years
cmon now

All I said was he's not contradicting himself. You the one that seem lost and confused.
Again, all he's saying is what needs to happen vs what's going on. **** ain't rocket science. All this other stuff you saying is just rambling.

to some extent it really comes down to that fact, other groups (have & continue to) experience some targeting as well as negative stereotyping but, to my mind anyway, not nearly as violently, or in such visceral and vitriolic ways...which maybe goes some ways to explain the disparity between groups, because, and i've been thinking about this ever since reading that malcolm gladwell piece 'black like them,' part of what is going on is just the perception of what blackness is both external to & internally with black folk. and how that external perception affects our own, which is sometimes how i understand these critiques/prescriptions of 'what black people need to do'
i used to think that the mentality of people willing to uproot themselves from all they've known for some possible opportunity in a foreign place was almost like a self-selective group, and while there maybe some grain of truth to that it could really be out of their control completely. one things people point to is how well, comparatively, the children of immigrant blacks do but then, according to the data, in as little as a generation their children's children do no better than 'native' black americans...could it be that in one generation to the next that as they became more american their values and the things that made them successful changed some, almost certainly...but could it also be that now that have become more american that they are perceived differently by society? i think about this when i hear these theories about the asians (chinese/japanese/koreans more specifically --- also indians might be an interesting exception that prove the rule as they tend to be more professionals than entrepreneurs?), because it doesn't seem that the things that are said to be necessary for black folks to control more of our own destiny are in fact all that necessary for other groups...is it really that these other groups have some understanding we don't, or are other things more at play?? like the systematic view of black folks; which isn't to say there isn't our own agency to fix what we need to about our communities/selves...
it is a bit of facetious question but given the fact that 'buying politicians' is explicitly very illegal, what does that really mean tho?
yo, i can't call it...allowing that they are in a strict definitional sense different, the functional outcome is basically the same; something can be on a continuum such that the present thing is both unrecognizable to its past version as well as it eventual future version (some might say this about modern day christianity), saying it continued or evolved, might be a matter of perspective...besides whether it is a continuation or evolved is somewhat irrelevant to the point that they are now obviously different things, living tradition and all. its not about overriding commonalities but the differences matter, because ultimately humans aren't all that different; tho we had/have much conflict over the minutia of those differences. you could maybe just as much argue that culture is kinda the things we don't do as it is the things we do practice...
this doesn't mean black folk among the diaspora can't/shouldn't/won't find solidarity with 'africa' just that i don't think it as necessary for either the black diaspora or 'africa' and in some ways the expectation itself kinda unrealistic

im sure it does sound that way to a simpleton.
hence the reason why you claim to not have an argument, then state the argument you claim doesnt exist in the very next sentence.
I'm not even making a argument.

....but you dont have an argument.

I respect it. They know what happens when you open your door to white people. They ain't bothering nobody, minding they business so leave 'em alone. I heard America won't drop bombs on them cuz it might cause a natural disaster. That must be true cuz America loves bombing people.

yea the sentenalise have just killed anyone that has tried to get on the island. I don’t even think the US would have the grounds to go and apprehend anyone on the island as just taking pictures of it is a crime punishable of 3 years in prison in India. Cats been warned for like the past 100 years not to go on that island.
