Only 2% of black people are active in the struggle

It's a small number of blacks that's doing most of the heavy lifting, it's a small number of blacks that's fighting against injustice and trying to make things better for blacks.

1. In the 1960's there were 22 million black people in America.

2. But the Civil Rights Movement never had a million people that was out there in the streets fighting injustice.

3. The Civil Rights Movement had 1000's of people.

4. Which meant that 99.9% of black people were not active in the struggle at all.

5. Far LESS than 1% of black people were out in the street marching, protesting, boycotting and going to jail in the fight against injustice done to blacks.

6. The 1963 March on Washington drew 250,000 people. Which means that 21.7 million blacks didn't go to that march.

7. Even TODAY there are 40 million black people in America, and most blacks have never been in any kind of march, protest, boycott, etc.

8. If 10% of 40 million black people were active in the streets fighting injustice, that would be 4 million people.

9. We don't have anywhere near 4 million black people active in struggle.

Most blacks in the 60's, and most of the blacks today are sitting on the sideline, while a (small number) of blacks do all of the fighting against injustice.

I'm being VERY GENEROUS when I say that 2% of black people in America are active in the struggle.

What if all black people put their hands on the plow and fought injustice, how much progress could we make?

Imagine a football team that only had 2 or 3 players giving their all trying to win, it would be difficult for that team to win a championship.

Same thing when blacks were in captivity and subjugated, forced to work for free, up until now.. Most blacks refused to do anything. That's why Whites love us as a race. We take and and allow anything they throw at us.. Shyt, they can get away with, against blacks, are not done against other races. Hence, why Whites and other Non-Blacks have no respect for Blacks.

One of our biggest problems is not having respect for self and each other. All you have to do is read the comments of some people stuck in a time warp, or are just damn angry because they are black and the race is on to see who can out do the other with their version of issues we face. Stop lying to yourself about who did what to whom or for whom. That's not changing what's going on today and I rarely see any comments about how to change it and that's because nobody really knows how to approach the issues let alone solve them. The most overwhelming issues have grown like a cancerous tumor and has spread like wildfire, but still no answers.

A small number of blacks in the 60's did all of the fighting and putting their lives in the line, but all of the blacks reaped the benefits. That's not fair.

It's not fair to those people you referred to, who died in vain either. It's 2016 and the bulk of the posts on here are about what someone did or said 50 -150 to 300+ yrs ago. What about today? Did you ever stop to think if some blacks would clean up their act we would have as many "struggles" or maybe no "struggles". Just because the white man introduced drugs and guns to the black community doesn't mean you have to keep using them does it? There is such a thing as self induced "struggles". And who are those 2% you are talking about? It all boils down to taking a serious look @ self and others around you, then determine what needs to be dealt with and HOW.

Many of us have told those of you who choose to keep harping about serious issues, where to start but no one wants to commit to that kind of action. That's the reason you keep blaming the Pres. Isn't it past time to expect some one else to make a martyr of themselves while the other 98% sit back and smile and say look what we did.

And its not fair of, you, to criticize this member about not posting something which you yourself hath refused to post as well.

So just stop acting like Ether, here, by attacking members just because they don't agree with you.
Where's the attack?

I have a problem with your stupidity and your racism, as your vitriol posted here is worse than criticizing.

It is total nonsense, its out of order, its totally inappropriate, and its just flat out inapplicable to what this threadstarter did here.
