So are we throwing actual black people under the bus to promote frauds and two faced harvey dent types now?
Shame...the self-hate is palpable.
@rapbeats said it...and another poster in the mckinney thread said it and it made me think way too much to the point it made me upset.
Some of the statements uttered in the Rachel Dolezal thread were truly disheartening, disappointing, and disgusting.
If you constantly have to ask your oppressor to help you not be oppressed, you will continue to be oppressed.
Basically, to me...saying that you need help from whites for black causes is not akin to saying "we need allies"...it's you saying "we can't do anything for ourselves and we're just not good enough to get anything done." It's pretty much saying that..."their ice is just colder cause...it is". Without any reasoning behind it.
I've said it before...I'll say it again.
RACISM IS NOT BLACK FOLKS RESPONSIBILITY.
We don't own the banks. We don't control the stocks and bonds. We don't control the federal reserve. We own less than 10 television channels combining local and nationally syndicated networks in this country. We aren't the majority or even a fraction of the CEOs of the businesses in this country. We don't have lobbyists in our corner. Or the courts. There are very few of us in positions to get black men and women hired but enough of us to hoot, holler, rant, and rave on social media to get people fired (only to get hired again...so what's the point?).
My gripe is this...hear me out:
Every day I go to my job on wall street, I'm happy to be working alongside other black men and women. My office is diverse...the only thing is age is where the gap is. But I constantly think to myself "wouldn't it be nice if we were actually running some thangs and stuff?"
Why are we always running to them to help us with stuff that we could of already done on our own? It basically reaffirms their superiority and underlying sentinment that we can't do anything by ourselves.
The MAIN problem isn't that we don't have the money...or the resources...the problem is that the majority of our people's minds are just fukked up.
