GENERATION FAIL: How The Civil Rights Generation Failed Us

"We need a resurgent BLACK MEDIA now more than ever. Ever since the 1960s, we've had the white media indoctrinating us w/ the story that the civil rights movement was a good thing for Black people." @ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth "We've had Black Baby Boomers bragging for over 3 generations that they were all apart of it; constantly telling us we owed them b/c things were so much better now than they had ever been before; that we had all sorts of opportunities & freedoms b/c of them." @ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth "Meanwhile, when we looked all around us, we saw that our condition had gotten gradually worse & worse & worse. Clearly, somebody lied. We took a dangerous & now it seems, fatal wrong turn somewhere back in the past." @ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth "While it's [the current condition of Blacks in America #ADOS ] not all the fault of the Black baby boomers, truth is, they took a single most crucial moment we had to secure our position and threw it away."
@ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth "Rather than admit they betrayed the future, instead [Black baby boomers] they have embarked on a fully 3 generation long campaign veinly trying to justify their narcissism and self hate by portraying a plea for WHITE ACCEPTANCE as a brave moral movement." @ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth "To stop the attack dogs, lynchings and bombings was MORAL, but to then cease ACTING FOR OURSELVES, and beg for a seat at the table of our oppressors was certainly not. We need to disabuse ourselves of the lies [Black baby boomers] they taught us."

@ProfBlacktruth GENERATION FAIL: How The Civil Rights Generation Failed Us

"[Black baby boomers] They have their Social Security, their pensions from whatever factories they worked at back when the US had a manufacturing sector."

@ProfBlacktruth "[Black baby boomers] They saw migrants coming into our neighborhoods and rather than promote the full works of Black economic power, they instead [merely] complained that the dominant society was supporting immigrants at our expense."

@ProfBlacktruth GENERATION FAIL: How The Civil Rights Generation Failed Us

"[Black baby boomers] They became a generation of professional winers bowing, scraping and pleading for WHITE LARGESSE, and they indoctrinated their children to be the same way."
@ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth "The hand-picked politicians wanted the Black masses to celebrate their [so called Civil Rights] 'accomplishments', as if somehow John Conyers' success was our success; as if Oprah Winfrey getting on TV somehow meant that doors had opened up for ALL OF US."
@ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth "Black baby boomers rationalized their apathy & self congratulatory narcissism by trying to live vicariously thru a handful of BLACK CELEBRITIES CREATED BY THE DOMINANT SOCIETY; and taught their children this was somehow indicative the society had changed."
@ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth The Civil Rights Generation Failed Us

"As the subsequent generations have attempted to go out into this allegedly post-racial society, we found out that for 30 yrs now, our condition has gone from deceptively antagonistic, to now, outright genocidal against us." @ProfBlacktruth

@ProfBlacktruth Civil Rights Failures

"We've had to START FROM SCRATCH as a group b/c for 50 yrs, we allowed a self-centered & self-deceptive generation of failures to dress up their declaration of surrender to the dominant society as being some sort of victory when it wasn't." @ProfBlacktruth

@ProfBlacktruth "Asian immigrants now have institutions largely funded by us because we're still repeating the old line judge not by skin color but by the content of their character. Black baby boomers never wanted to accept that that runs both ways."
@ProfBlacktruth

@ProfBlacktruth GENERATION FAIL: Civil Rights

"We have to take a serious hard look at how the Black baby boomers decided to turn the Black church from what had previously been a mouthpiece for #BlackEmpowerment into nothing more than just a self aggrandizing sidewalk show."
@ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth Instead of being a mouthpiece for #BlackEmpowerment Black baby boomers allowed the Black CHURCH to become "a bunch of peacocks sitting in the pews while some blow hard PULPIT PIMP tells everyone Jesus is going to do everything for them."

@ProfBlacktruth GENERATION FAIL: How The Civil Rights Generation Failed Us

"You have junior Black baby boomers like David Clarke, Jr. who proudly congratulate police who get away with murdering Black people."

@ProfBlacktruth GENERATION FAIL: How The Civil Rights Generation Failed Us

"You have senior Black baby boomers like Rep. John Lewis. When police assaulted him in the 1960s & beat him bloody, rather than be angry, he thanked police for their service." @ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth After thanking police for beating him, "Rep. John Lewis has been using that 1 picture of him w/ the bloody noggin over 50 yrs now. That beating set him up for life & gets him a frequent pat on the head from white liberals & the occasional photo in history books."
@ProfBlacktruth

@ProfBlacktruth "It makes sense Rep. John Lewis would be 1 of the primary faces of the Civil Rights movement. He's a non-threatening negro who accepts beatings with a smile & when you put him in office, he does NOTHING for Black people. A slave in Congress is still a slave."
@ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth GENERATION FAIL: How The Civil Rights Generation Failed

Rep. John Lewis is not alone. "A slave in Congress is still a slave, and for that matter, so is a slave on the General Motors assembly line, your local school board, local TV station or the White House."
@ProfBlacktruth

@ProfBlacktruth GENERATION FAIL: Civil Rights

"This new generation needs an in depth look at the so called victories we've had to understand mistakes made & not to fall into the trap again. We have to chart our own path but that requires a hard honest look at the recent past." @ProfBlacktruth

@ProfBlacktruth GENERATION FAIL: Civil Rights

"The real strongest period of #BlackEmpowerment we had was not the 1960s. It was the end of the 19th century. We had Black banks, schools and an electoral majority in many, many areas all before the Black Wall Street bombing."
@ProfBlacktruth #B1

@ProfBlacktruth GENERATION FAIL: Civil Rights

"It would do us no good to jumpstart #BlackEmpowerment only to have some future generation repeat the mistake of the baby boomers because we refuse to make the lesson of GENERATION FAIL a permanent part of our collective psyche."
@ProfBlacktruth

@ProfBlacktruth "We must internalize these lessons & teach them to ourselves so that no one can sweet talk us back into working against our own INTERESTS ever again. I want us to see the Civil Rights movement & the generation who is so proud of their victory as they truly are."
@ProfBlacktruth

@ProfBlacktruth "The Civil Rights generation, whether those working in high govt positions or those who managed a token corporate job or those who just made it a point to always land their part in the struggle over their children, all have been operating out the same playbook."
@ProfBlacktruth

@ProfBlacktruth "Pointing the dirty end of the stick at white supremacy is easy; identifying those who led us astray is not."

@ProfBlacktruth The use of a tiny group of "BLACK CELEBRITIES CREATED BY THE DOMINANT SOCIETY" to cover up the racial wealth gap caused by white supremacy is intelligently labeled by Attorney Antonio Moore as the #decadentveil
