We both live in America, so that's what I'm talking about,
mainly. However "fear of genetic annihilation" doesn't refer to
Black people crossing seas to take land and blot out people.
It does, however, provide some thought-provoking explanation
for why white folks have historically done just that and killed
whole groups of people off.

I have no idea why you responded that way.
Please be specific in the future instead of
speaking in parables, as I've found your use
of them misplaced in this conversation twice due
to different views on the application of said parables.

That's the past. We live in 2017. The "save white
people" crowd is desperate enough to accept Rashida.

I said absolutely nothing about white people fixing
anything, and am unsure as to how you arrived at
that conclusion.

I don't disagree with us building among ourselves.
I've said that both here and in the past on the
boards tho.

I have to cut in right here. I said nothing about it
being "some sort of delusion." Sir, you fabricated
this alternative fact, lol.

I also said nothing about fear that white people would
attack it (although that's not a fear, just a reality, and I
wholeheartedly believe that we should plan for it).
If you're unclear about something I'm saying, please do
feel free to ask me what I mean instead of assuming.
Our road to freedom and equality is different from those
other groups for a plethora of reasons... not the least
of which is Jews got reparations.

Lol. I was gonna ask you why you even bother to
argue with denny. Now I see why.
Good luck.

We definitely will if we think sleeping with non-Black
people is any part of the revolution. You mentioned
Neely Fuller who consistently says "replace the system
of white supremacy with a system of justice as soon as
possible." If we don't replace the system, it's just
more injustice based on something else.

I don't have much to add. We have some fundamental
disagreements, but we do both agree that Black people
should strengthen our economic base and education.
I say we focus on those, as I don't see how anyone
could disagree with either.
