We, the descendants of West African slaves, may never be whole again. What youre seeing here is a direct result of 400 years of slavery and another 100 years of legal segregation. You cannot reprogram, fix, change completely, eradicate the sting and the stain and the hurt and the pain of that kind of forced racism in 40 or 50 years. It just takes time. Looking at us today, we lack pride and unity. We have no REAL leaders. We lack love, patience, kindness, compassion and understanding for one another. My first life lessons about who I was, came from my mother. I grew up in a time where mothers were mothers and not at the club trying to turn up or watching Maury all day and ignoring their children. Parents, churches, mosques, community leaders, family elders must teach these young black children about self pride and self love and self respect. Turn off Love and Hip Hop for awhile and open a book on Nat Turner, Marcus Garvey, Harriet Tubman, W.E.B. Dubois, Dr. Charles Drew, Sojourner Truth or a number of black history greats that sacrificed themselves so that you could become something other than a bunch of harlots having multiple babies out of wedlock by multiple fathers and a bunch of clowns and idiots running around with your pants sagging with no job and no education and no hope nor future. Showing complete disdain, disrespect and utter ignorance in this life only proves to The Establishment that they are right about you. That youre all a bunch of uncivilized creatures not much more intelligent than monkeys and apes. By exhibiting this negative behavior and further perpetuating racial stereotypes you spit in the face of every Civil Rights worker, every Freedom Rider from the sixties, every maid, butler, Pullman Porter, slave, man and woman, that was beaten, beaten up, beaten down and killed trying to provide YOU with something better. We must do better!
