so i was in inglewood today with my mother
my siblings my best friend (keana) & her neice,
and we see a group walking down manchester
in protest. as they are walking people are honking
and agreeing with their protest when they get a little
closer we realize that they are saying that the lapd is
the kkk, and that the inglewood pd are the real terrorist.
When i saw this i was ashamed of my race & culture.
Do we not understand that attaching racism
to every wrong done against us we make ourselves look ignorant?
every mishap can not be attributed to racism. i absolutely hate the
excuses given for the black man's plight. there are plenty of successful
african americans and they did not reach their various levels of success
by blaming "the white man". We must learn to break out of this mentality
in order to gain a better understanding of life. It breaks my heart to see
that we continue to rest in the ignorance of many slaves(who fought for the liberties we have today) who thought it impossible to move ahead, (did you all miss the civil rights movement?)
we still believe that everyone and everything is against
us when in reality we are the ones who are not willing to go out and make a difference
too concerned with BET awards, and soulja boy's latest dance move. lol
my poor people when will we get a grip?
p.s. im just being honest, and thats exactly why i wouldn't be upset if a white person said the same thing because its true.
