To the folks who are Pro Black this and Pro Black that, CUT THAT SHIT OUT!

 ANGRY FACE-1

as i read a couple of blog posts today, i started becoming irritated with the foolishness of some posters. they are misguided on their subject matter of choice.

there were a few posts saying that we are still being held back in race relations in the United States. it is true, there are still bigots and racist out there that are non Black. there is also a rise in Black racist and bigots. there really is no room for finger pointing.

there were posts stating that we need to get back to being Black. EXCUSE ME! what the fuck is being Black? there is no such thing as being Black. just because i have the same skin tone as you does not mean that i think the same as you. the African American culture, over the years, has morphed into something that is all inclusive when it comes to a culture. if i had to guess, being Black means more of expressing your individuality in the skin that you are in, regardless of your ancestry. the past is the past. the past is not going to help you or hinder you from getting a job, home, loan, etc. if your game is tight. no one can hold you back if you are true to yourself and your are not looking for handouts or waiting on someone else to step in and help you with your burden. DO IT ALL YOUR OWN DAMN SELF! (i love saying that even though i am collecting unemployment. that is not a Black or non Black thing. it is a no job to be had thing.)

i also ran across posts that put COONERY on a pedestal. for every post out there stating that Blacks should be proud of their heritage and where they came from, there are at least 3 where there is black woman singing about taking a dump on the toilet, brothas calling the police because someone stole their weed, with follow up comments from friends saying they would have done the same thing because you need to feel safe when you are sitting around alone smoking weed or brothas selling weed to off duty police officers through fast food drive through windows.

there are more serious issues such as the Black on Black violence that is becoming prevalent, there are the duplicitous Blacks. we know them. they are the ones that are rah! rah! Black Pride! but behind closed doors they are telling their White friends how much they do not like other Blacks.

i could go all day with this post but i am not. my main point, before people start complaining about what non Blacks are doing to Blacks, clean up the shit that Blacks are doing to Blacks first.

thank you for understanding what i was saying. i keep saying that people of color need to work on themselves individually before they can try to work on themselves as a group. how can we come together as a group if we do not know who we are individually?

Exactly and every time someone gets up or gets something good going, why do certain members of us have to interfere and get stupid! stopping good progress! its just not right!

XIRUS said...

you are absolutely correct. i have worked in offices where there was small number of minorities and it seemed like the people of color were doing more to sabotage each other than anything else. i guess that is the nature of the beast. i currently do not understand any of it. :(

You know I have come to know that negroes will throw each other under the bus really quick but then claim the white man has been oppressing them sooooooooooo much, when they have put their own man power down. Nobody wants to be apart of a group of people like that...not saying other groups dont have their issues but specifically us....we have got it bad.

There are times when I think of those whom are considered sell outs because they do not associate or act like they were ever from the hood and I think well shit, with the way you all behave, id act like i didnt know your asses either!

i am proud to say i am a "sell out". i moved away from the hood and i keep the hood in the hood. i am proud of the fact that i can acclimate to any corporate environment and still stay true to myself. i get called an uppity negro. i don't mind. i am not uppity. i just look at the person calling me uppity and tell them, "you need to get off your ass and get up here where i am. don't blame me because you are down there."
