https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K9TO4qBjyIThis is gold specifically on equality
"They are not the measuring stick..."
Opportunity is the equality that we should desire not to aspire to be like, co-opt and marginalize ourselves to feel that we have to be LIKE
We are gonna be like in a lot of instances we are human but im talking about our inherently specific core pillarswhich derive from our unique experience.
Post your thoughts.

I think all everyone wanted was an equal opportunity. You can't guarantee equal outcomes or equal effort.

we need more blacks like him

Macolm the goat. What he said is true. When white folk talk about eqaulity and integration they talk of us to assimilate into their society. Thing is even when we do that we that we still see injustice. The white is not measuring stick.

Right now im reading The destruction of black civilization. In it explained how black africans lost later on. Basically many whites from Europe/middle east infiltrated Egypt through invasions and trade. Soon these whites took black wives and had mulatto babies. These mulatto soon grew and hate the blacks. Long story short they took over lower egypt from the blacks. The black egyptians that stayed in lower egypt looked to the white/mulatto egyptian as the measuring sticks. In the guise of eqaulity and assimilation they were treated as low class citizens. Lower then dirt.

malcolm x is the og

What really kills me when I watch stuff like this is he's making so much sense right now . Why didn't my Grandparents listen ? Were they house negros or something I wish they didn't pass on . I feel that if we would have listened to then we'd be in a 10 times better spot then we are now .

I need to find a website or a youtube channel where I can just watch Malcom X speeches. Maybe I'll find out what that podcast ? is all about. That sounds like it might be what I'm looking for.

That's a book I've been meaning to check out. I've been reading the ancient origins of African civilization. Cheikh Anta Diop is the man. He puts all those white Egyptian and white Phoenician/Carthaginian theories to rest with facts. -
