How do we fix generations of oppression and lack of self worth? I wish I knew, if I did I would take Jesse Jackson's and Al Sharpton's place. Not to say that they have any idea but unlike them I only tend to speak when I have something important to say and not just to draw attention to myself.
As I have been discussing the problems within Black America this week I wanted to touch on this because it goes back to the whole thing about the rappers and working blacks in general. Outside of the underground and entertainment. What avenues are available to young black children today? I mean honestly how do we tell children they can be anything they want they just have to try hard and want it for themselves. They have to believe in themselves. Then we turn them around and send them back into their miserable homes, put them back in their impoverished communities. In this case what is a more powerful learning tool. The things that we tell them or the things that they see? How many of you parents have ever set down and told your young black son or daughter, that if you are a sub-par student with a C average and you experiment with drugs you can go on to be President of the United States of America? I tend to think that not many of you, because we all know too well that whatever we do we have to do it better than any of our counterparts. We have no room for error and even then we are not guaranteed to succeed. Lets be honest the only way any of us have been able to make it was through the charity of white people.
This country is the same today as it was 100 years ago. The only difference is that today people are a little more smoother with their racists beliefs and ideologies. Anyone who has sat down and spoken with me in any great detail knows that I have severe racial issues. I do not hide nor am I ashamed of this character flaw. I feel that the only way anything is going to change for blacks in any part of the near future is for all of use to take on this mind set. To start looking at color first and then look at all of the other things that make us different. To stop speaking out against other blacks just because Whites want us to. To start empowering each other and to seek change by any means necessary.
Until we start to change how we view ourselves and treat each other things are always going to remain the same. Blacks in America are still worth less than any other race in this country. We have allowed the whites to replace us in the workforce with illegal aliens. We have allowed whites to get rid of our college programs and funding. We have allowed them to dismantle our education system and our family structure, and while they do these things we grin and bear it. It is time to start taking back the things that this Government has taken from us starting with our self respect and pride.
I urge everyone to go out and join a Black group that is set on bringing about change. but wait a minute be selective. joining a militant terrorist group may not be the way to go right now. RIGHT NOW. So please do some research before joining an organization and be sure that you fully understand what they stand for. Because there are some groups out there that are all about the betterment of White America in black face. I won't call any names (N.A.A.C.P)
