Black ppl are upset bc SNL brought Nikki Haley on to mock herself about what said about the Civil War.

Basically, she was handed some whiteness to sanitize herself.

Why are you upset? NBC should've known better? It's BHM?

Why should they care?

We give our power away everyday.

Black ppl have about $2 trillion in buying power and we watch more 📺 than every other demographic. So that means what we watch and buy.....grows.

And if we pull our support, collectively, things will hurt. That's a huge threat to corporation. They know our power more than we do.

However, they see that we'll buy their products and give them our eyeballs NO MATTER how much they disrespect us, ignore us and/or sell us out.

Dr. King told us in his last speech about our economic power collectively the night before he died.

You can rest assured that if Nikki Haley played around with the Jewish Holocaust like this she'd be scathed into submission.

She can get away with shittin' on Black ppl in 🇺🇸 bc we are its Holocaust and still ongoing.

The Jewish community stick together. They understand their power and wield it.

We must do the same. We have power. We have to stop giving it away for instant gradification.

And yes, that means Black products from Black celebrities as well. A lot of them don't respect us but market and build their products off of, who?

Us.

Then slap us in the face after they make it.

If we wanna be respected we must understand our power and wield it. Collectively. Even our voting power.

Wield our power and the respect will follow. 🇺🇸 will never give it to us but we sure can make them mfers know what's gonna happen if they don't. ✊🏾

This thread is a WHOLE word. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much we are exploited and targeted by propaganda and lies for the explicit purpose of dividing us and thereby DILUTING OUR REAL POWER. I’m appalled by those that disrespect our ancestors suffering by supporting our oppressors!
