youre out of touch and gross. youre making shit up.
Lol look at your language and calling people gross at the same time but no argument to be found. This kind of emotional reaction to probs is very similar to how the black community has been handling things:
all emotions, all poetry but no practical solution. I’ll elaborate...
The kid wanted not to become a statistic. If you don’t want to be a statistic then
be PRACTICAL about it, not poetic . If someone beating the hell out of you do fight back or do you
pause in the middle to wax poetically about your suffering?
Back to the kid,.. you don’t want your moma to bury you then would it be better to not participate in murder attempts or write poems about it? My main gripe is with the black community’s main emphasis on the poetry part.
MLK did some good but he had permanently put African Americans into the
CULTURE OF PROTEST. Basically it completely takes the power to act away from you and put it in the hand of the PERCEIVERS, the ones looking at you. After all when you protest, you protest TO someone, to the power that be. And you are DEPENDENT on their response, not your power. Basically it’s sauing “IM NOT HAPPY, YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING “ What if they don’t do anything? Then you become MORE DRAMATIC, more demonstrative,
MORE POETIC.
So the human being starts out with the full power to ACT has been
reduced to a dramatic actor So it doesn’t matter if you couldn’t solve your probs as long as the world sees your dramatic demonstration of your suffering, you’re good. It becomes the modus operandi for the community: PROTEST.
This has become a generational tradition that AAs are PROUD of. Virtues like hard work, discipline, ingenuity are replaced by protest. After a while, it’s the only thing they know. It’s the only thing the remember to be proud of. If there’s any problem: FIGHT OPPRESSION. No need for any other solution.
Look at the Jews and the Asians. I’m sure they had their fair share of oppression and esp without the governments preferential treatment of AAs. Yet they rise thousands times higher. Why?HARD WORK, DISCIPLINE. Not a single protest from them that I recall.
AAs should
re embrace their full power to act and reject the protest/ demonstrative culture that they have been led into. May be it’s time to even reject MLK
