Still a Nigger 2005
Click the post title link to check out an article on the new National Urban League report which shows that Blacks still lag behind Whites economically.
Why does this issue persist? Because even if you got dough you're STILL A NIGGER.
Pardon me- NIGGA- does that make you feel better?
First of all, as I said earlier if we use White America as the standard we will always be behind because our self-worth will only be measured as compared to them.
Second of all I think it's real funny that some cats think just because a few Negroes got some high-profile jobs that things are supposed to wonderful across the board.
It's only been 40 years since the wave of civil rights legislation made America start practicing what it preaches- that's not enough undo centuries of mental and physical slavery.
This is one of those things that really irks me- a group of people that have been kidnapped and enslaved on another side of the Earth, systematically stripped of their religion & culture & language, declared by LAW to be nothing more than property, brainwashed to believe that they are nothing and will be nothing without the benevolence of the very people who enslaved them are not going to just "snap out of it" because of Affirmative Action and the Voting Rights Act. And the only reason we got to where we are today is because of the rivers of bloodshed by those seeking a better life.
Willie Lynch may or may not be an actual historical figure, but the philosophy is deplorably real- any U.S. ghetto will show you that.
The sadly ironic fact is that the American dream of freedom, justice, and equality is part of the fuel which has driven the engine for Black liberation since 1776.
MESSAGE TO BLACK PEOPLE: Wanna change things? Reconnect with our brothers and sisters in the Diaspora. Love the bling bling? Ice? Where do you think all that comes from? Diamonds, gold, etc.? You could be buying straight from your brothers and sisters in the Motherland. We have purchasing power they have resources; together, we can achieve freedom.
