Some Black People Are Poisoned By White Supremacy — Stay Away From Them

It’s an unfortunate situation, but we have to be honest

Let’s be honest: there’s a civil war going on within the Black community — Progressive minded Black people vs niggas. We have inflation of niggas in our community that continually cause is a wedge between us to distract us from fighting the real enemy that’s in front of us every day which is systematic white supremacy.

Here we are, the Mothers and Fathers of Supreme Civilization, living with the most uncivilized state of mind, called “Nigga”. “Nigga” is a state of mind that leads to a state of existence. “Nigga” is the state of mind and existence in which we now live. So, here we are. — Akil, author of the book “From Niggas to Gods”

Dusty niggas in the Black community

All across America, we have an epidemic that’s been going on longer than COVID-19 and that’s the dusty nigga epidemic. Now I grew up in the south, born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and when I go to these different hoods around the city sometimes, they are just flooded with dusty niggas. And the thing is, a lot of times, a lot of good black men get lumped in with the dusty niggas. What I want people to understand is that dusty niggas DO NOT represent the average black man. We need to start differentiating these dusty niggas from the solid brothers we have out here that are productive and progressive members of the black community.

We have an inflation of niggas in our community that continually cause are wedge between us to distract us from fighting the real enemy that’s in front of us everyday which is systematic white supremacy.

For starters, let’s define what a dusty nigga is: dusty niggas are just black men who have been beaten down by this white supremacists system to the point where they’ve given up and accepted defeat. Ironically, they’ve waved the white flag. They’ve accepted a low-level dusty life. No ambition; no goals and if they do have goals, it’s something small like buying a bunch of Air Jordans or getting rims for their car. They live for trivial nigga shit: smoking, drinking, and fucking.

That’s why I choose to separate myself from them because they don’t represent me and I don’t represent them. We may be in the same race, but we don’t have the same mindset. Black folks like myself are about building and these dusty niggas are about destroying. I look at them no different than Klansman — they are my enemy. Just coon ass niggas because have this coon mentality where they’re dusty and they want everyone else around them to be dusty like them. So if you’re a young brother that’s reading this, learn to keep your distance from these dusty niggas because all they are going to do is try to get you sucked up into their world. They’re real good at playing mind games with these young folks minds into getting them to believe that up is down and down is up. Don’t let them trick you out of your position and have you in the mix with them because they ain’t gonna be shit.
