Are Black Male Leaders Killed to Keep the Black Community in Shambles?
Question by Profile: Are black male leaders killed to keep the black community in shambles?
I have a theory that the US government was behind the assassination of MLK, Malcolm X, and other black males who were gaining too much power and had to be killed. It seems a “certain race” of males FEAR black males getting power. Thus it is fitting being a rapper and athlete is all you see that is geared towards young black males in the media. Why are successful black males a threat to society?

I think their is a big conspiracy to keep wealth out of the black community. We are taught things “just happen that way”.. seeing all black majority countries in poverty while white countries have the majority of the worlds wealth is a big red flag as to who is behind this oppression.

Probably, they don’t need any help now. They are their own worst enemy. This Q is almost a could of, should of, would’ve. Have you seen the self hating black men in this section alone? They are their own demise but blame other people. Lots of different people face adversities they over come it. Jews, Irish has had lots of problem, Slavic people.. etc but they over come it.
Research J. Edgar Hoover and Cointelpro. He’s quoted as saying something along the lines of “we can’t allow the black race to have a messiah”. There are a lot of different ways you can go with this. Mass incarceration was used as a reaction to the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements, white’s who talk about the “black crime rate” can’t seem to explain why the prisons were 70% white until 1973, and became increasingly black right after the Civil Rights act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act. You can get into how most urban centers were flooded with Heroine in the 70s, and Crack in the 80s, that also ties into COINTELPRO. You can look at how Blaxploitation films were used to discredit the Black Power Movement and how that turned into Rap music. You can talk about how 70% of Planned Parenthoods are in black neighborhoods. You can look at the Bloggs Act of 1951 which targeted Mexicans and Blacks for Marijuana use, until it was found that whites use it more and subsequently. You can look up the follow up to that in the 100:1 sentence disparity for crack and cocaine and who was caught possessing those drugs. You can look at the sentencing disparity for black criminals and white criminals, with blacks getting 20% longer sentences. You can look at the Rockefeller Drug laws in N.Y. There was a documentary on Vanguard that shows that even though Marijuana was decriminalized in 1977, young black men are still being racially profiled, and arrested after illegal searches and seizures, which often deliberately conflate simple possession for intent to distribute. Those arrests annually surpass 40,000 annually. These arrests affect the ability to receive pell grants, go to college, get a full time job, get public housing and a long list of other things. Truth of the matter is the only reason we were given “integration” is because are social and economic indicators were through the roof. They call it integration, I call it domestication.
This Paper sums it up nicely, This author has a lot of good papers, just type up his name and “pdf” behind it and you’ll get a lot of his papers. He actually has a good one where he discusses the prison apparatus in Greece and compares it to the U.S. He illustrates how the PIC is just another in a long line of tools used by certain people to exploit blacks for free labour. Ironically another thing people don’t notice is that the prisons are used disproportionately to disenfranchise blacks and take the rights we were fighting for in the first place. In prison jobs, you can’t show up late, you can’t call in sick, employers don’t have to pay insurance or work mans comp, the jobs are full time, and array of contracts are given out to corporation for prison labor. It’s neo-slavery and neo-Jim Crow at it’s finest.
But of course, I might just being playing the “race-card”….
Capitalism or the semblance of it doesn’t work without and underclass, I guess.
