I love my people. I swear I do. This message may get me called a few undesirable names but what the hell… wouldn’t be the first time. I just want to know why Black people insist on fighting EVERY twinge of racism that knocks at our door. If you are from Cali… and you (for some reason) end up in Mississippi on a crisp Saturday afternoon. You walk into a grocery store and you’re on isle 3 looking at peas… You hear two guys through the isle over on 2 talking about “nigger” this and “nigger” that… You promptly walk over and confront them. They talk back, you get angry… a fight ensues and all of you go to jail. Ok, it may have felt good to remove the teeth of yet another racist bigot but what did it help? Are you expecting Al Sharpton to pop up and fight for your cause? And why should he? After all, when you look at it… you started it. The most it did was probably cemented their thinking of us being nothing but animals and subhuman. So why do we do it?

No CommentsI was having this discussion with a friend the other day. We were talking about where people fall short of achieving that dream they had when they were a child. That “I wanna be a fireman” toddler that grew up to be an accountant. That wide-eyed youngster that wanted to be a veterinarian and help every sick animal in the world is now a department store manager. That middle school-er that wanted to be a doctor and change the world, turned out to be a construction worker. Somewhere along the line we trade in those aspirations for a paycheck… but why? Probably because of decisions we’ve made that changed the trajectory of our limitless ascent into greatness. Maybe we had a kid. Maybe there was no money to continue that education and become that doctor. Maybe life stuck its frigid fingers into our motivation and left our frost bitten dreams at the bottom of some giant universal deep freezer. Who knows? But, even in the worst situation we should not fail to plan and should never give up.
