Blacks in Need of Loving Themselves
The other day I was hanging out with my friend and my friend's family. While we were in the car, my friend's father was like: "I just saw two Haitian men at the Casino; they stink and they are dark." Mind you, his wife's skin is dark and two of his daughter's have a dark skin. In my mind, I was saying: "Did you actually realize what you just said? Did you honestly listen to yourself?" Not only you say they stink but their skin color is also a problem too. When I was telling one of my brothers this story, he replied that he has the right to his opinion. Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinions but when you say stuff like that, you are being racist towards your own race. That is not an opinion of me, this is fact. I know this post is racial but I have to tell you that we, blacks, have been taught to believe that anything that is dark is ugly, evil, whatever negative label you want to associate it with. It is all over religion, the news, the movies. People are still making jokes about how you cannot see a dark skin black man when you turn off the light or something like that. A lot of people find that funny but I do not. I cannot laugh at this. Okay if you do not like people that are dark, fine I am not going to bother. But when there is about 90% of the people who believe that being dark is ugly, don't anybody feel that there is something wrong with society? I just want to know. These black people will be the same damn motherfuckers who are going to express remorse right after a policeman shot a dark skinned black man. In my opinion, you do not even need to even feel remorse towards that kind of individual because you were already making him feel like shit. I don't know why you even bother expressing sadness or anything like that. You want this to happen. You even want your own race to be completely wiped out! So if any black man died, all of you who keeps making dark skinned people feel like shit should shut the fuck up! I ain't got time to listen to your fucking complaints until you motherfuckers learn to love your race! Me I love my blackness as it is. I don't want to change it because it was given to me by nature. Trying to blonde my hair and bleach my skin would be a sin against nature. I have no hope for this race anymore. Actually, I have no hope for any race whatsoever. I only have hope on individuals who love themselves 100%. Self-love cannot be found in race, nationality, or anywhere else. It is only found within.

That kind of mentality is the reason why we are the most downtrodden as a race period. The other race of people(same applies amongst the majority of our race as well) can't even acknowledge the fact that we as black people were a powerful unity, we had structure, royalty, & stability in the form of Kemet.(Egypt for all of the people who cannot see anything past the mainstream bullshit) They only see us as subhuman savages who shuck & jive across the garbage media within the Television & Internet. It's bad enough we get disrespect from other races of people(especially Americans of European descent) but for those amongst our own perpetuating this self-hate mentality in order to be "accepted" by these racists motherfuckers really keeps me up at night. In short, that man deserves oppression by his "masters", because there is such existence as resistance for his information.
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying this. I am glad to see that I am not alone. That kind of mentality is killing us as a race. We really need to examine ourselves and take responsibility for what we say and do. If not, then no matter how much we complain about how we are being disrespected as a race, we will never get respect back. By the way, thanks for mentioning Ancient Egypt. These guys were so amazing!
DeleteI love the color black. My entire wardrobe is pretty much all black, it matches with everything. I wear black shoes, I have black hair, I love the black culture, I understand the black struggle, my school is located in a black neighborhood. I admire a lot of black athletes and entertainers. And it is the people who practice bullshit Martial Arts with ranks that strive for black belts. The black belt is considered the best and the white belt is considered the worse. In the East they teach to appreciate the yin, which is the black. yin/black is representing the female energy. The struggles you speak about are the same struggles that women go through in this Male/white/yang dominated world.
ReplyDeleteFunny enough, I wholeheartedly embrace eastern culture. I consider the eastern astrology to be way more accurate than in the west. I acknowledge & respect the martial arts & the philosophies of true martial artists. I would love to be able to study the Tao of the legendary Martial Artist, Bruce Lee, If I was able to afford it, heh. Also, I was born in the year of the Dragon.
DeleteHey, I was born in the year of the Dragon too! Damn... small world huh?
Deleteyep
DeleteBlack is my favorite color too, when I was a kid in school I told the teachers my color was black,and they wanted me to change to another color,so people do have a negative association with it. I think it's a very elegant color to wear.
