Martin Luther king Jr didn’t help the black community. If anything , he destroyed it.
How the civil rights movement destroyed the African American community.
As children we are taught to be kind and respectful to everybody. We learn these lessons as a basis for our everyday lives and meant to carry them into adulthood and even pass these lessons down to our Own children. However as a child we also learn how to deal with conflict and learn very early on that as nice as we are to people sometimes people just won’t like you and there’s not enough kindness in the world to kill an idea that someone has about You. When these situations happen our parents hug us and tell us that everyone’s not going to like you and sometimes there won’t be a reason but not to worry about it and that the best thing to do is focus on the people who do. And that’s basically how school works , hanging out with the people who enjoy having you around and avoiding the ones who don’t . I mean how ridiculous would it be for someone to walk up to their bully and beg them to be their friend and then add fuel to the fire by begging the bully to sell some weed to them , especially when there are other people who are more than willing to do so but you for some reason really want the bully’s weed as if no one else’s is worthy. That ridiculous example is exactly what Martin Luther king did and it’s how he destroyed the black community. Once upon a time African Americans had no choice but to support black businesses because white people wouldn't sell their products to us. The push for integration instead of actual equality snatched billions of dollars from the African American community. White people had a field day when they realized they could still bully us and take our money . Now we are in 2020 trying to force companies to recognize the billions African Americans contribute to their businesses when we could have black conglomerates had martin Luther king pushed Supporting black businesses and equality for black schools and neighborhoods rather than intergration. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but intergration did not work and honestly it will probably never work . This country was built on hate and oppression and so it surprises me when people are actually surprised by the hate and oppression that exist in this country. Intergration has allowed African Americans the opportunity as a whole to make white people richer while still suffering the effects of a society rooted in racism. In my opinion we should start pushing for actual change because a few black lives matter shows on Netflix and some Colin kaepernick sneakers from Nike is not enough . We need to destroy the very foundation of the country and start from scratch. We need to rewrite the constitution and reconstruct the justice system to truly represent and protect all citizens. Until that happens then these businesses aren’t doing anything but slapping a band aid on institutional racism and Martin Luther king jr helped them do it .

Why Greenland Matters Even If Its Resources Don’t Pay
Greenland is often discussed through the lens of untapped wealth. Headlines highlight rare earth minerals, oil prospects, and melting ice opening new shipping routes. Yet focusing only on whether Greenland’s resources can “pay off” financially misses the deeper truth. Even if mining projects stall, oil remains unprofitable, or climate conditions limit extraction, Greenland still matters enormously—strategically, politically, environmentally, and symbolically. Its value goes far beyond balance sheets. A Strategic Anchor in a Changing Arctic Greenland’s most immediate importance lies in its location. Sitting between North America and Europe, it occupies a central position in the Arctic—a region that is rapidly transforming due to climate change. As ice retreats, the Arctic is becoming more accessible, drawing the attention of global powers such as the United States, Russia, and China. For the US and NATO, Greenland is a critical security asset. The island hosts key military and early-warning infrastructure that helps monitor missile activity and airspace across the North Atlantic and Arctic. Control and stability in Greenland are therefore not about profit, but about deterrence, surveillance, and maintaining a strategic edge in a region where geopolitical competition is intensifying. Even if Greenland never becomes a mining powerhouse, its geography alone ensures it will remain central to global security calculations. Climate Change’s Front Line Greenland also matters because it is one of the most visible front lines of climate change. Its vast ice sheet plays a crucial role in regulating global sea levels. What happens in Greenland does not stay in Greenland—accelerated ice melt directly affects coastal cities around the world. Scientists closely study Greenland to understand future climate scenarios. Data collected there informs global climate models, disaster planning, and international environmental policy. In this sense, Greenland is not a resource to be exploited but a warning system for the planet. Even if extracting minerals proves uneconomical, the island’s role as a climate indicator and research hub makes it invaluable to humanity’s understanding of its own future. Political Symbolism and Self-Determination Greenland’s importance is also deeply political. As an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland represents one of the most prominent modern cases of gradual self-determination. Many Greenlanders view economic independence—often linked to resources—as a pathway to full sovereignty. However, even if resources fail to deliver financial independence, Greenland’s political journey still matters. It raises global questions about Indigenous rights, governance, and how small populations navigate pressure from powerful external actors. International interest—sometimes bordering on overt pressure—has reinforced Greenland’s symbolic role as a place where local aspirations collide with global ambitions. The island matters because it tests how the world treats smaller societies in an era of great-power rivalry. Not Everything Valuable Is Profitable There is also a growing recognition that not all value should be measured in immediate economic returns. Greenland’s ecosystems are fragile and unique. Mining, oil drilling, and large-scale infrastructure projects carry significant environmental risks that could permanently damage landscapes and traditional ways of life. For many Greenlanders, preserving fishing grounds, wildlife, and cultural heritage is more important than chasing uncertain profits. This challenges a global mindset that assumes natural resources must be monetized to justify a region’s importance. Greenland matters precisely because it forces a conversation about sustainable development—about when not to extract, and about valuing long-term stability over short-term gains. A Testing Ground for Global Cooperation Greenland is also becoming a testing ground for international cooperation. Scientific research, climate monitoring, Arctic governance, and Indigenous engagement all require collaboration across borders. How major powers behave around Greenland may set precedents for the wider Arctic. Will competition dominate, or can cooperation prevail? The answer will shape not just Greenland’s future, but the governance of one of the world’s last relatively untouched regions.
