Peace All!
It's been a minute, right?? I want to get all of your opinion on the following. It's what I wrote on another message board regarding this issue... Input Please!!

i cannot even begin to communicate the outrage i felt when i read the newspaper clipping and viewed the pictures of the RACIST PIGS who dressed in black face for halloween. After the outrage calmed (it's not gone), the reality of this bulls*** country became even more apparent to me (it's not a new discovery)...
the pigs who dressed as such in these pictures represent the majority of white people's feelings (at least the majority who hold economic and political power) when it comes to Afrikans in amerikkka. the majority of them think of us as simpletons, homeboys and worthy to be lynched. we try so hard to prove them wrong, but this thinking is internalized in their very beings... i used to be one who wanted to prove so hard to white people that we can articulate thoughts, that we are intelligent, that we are good people... then one day i said f*** it... why should i spend so much of my time and energy trying to integrate into a system that is set up for my demise instead of trying to build my own community... instead of fighting for self determination...
tell me people... who are we looking to be validated by?? these same pigs who think it's funny to depict tying a noose around a black man's neck are the same pigs who may one day be your bosses... these are the same pigs who will tie an institutionalized noose around your necks.
writing to their schools and national headquarters is a good idea... it will punish the guilty, but it will not cease the thinking that goes along with these actions (which is an impossible feat because this thinking runs rampant). we need to stop looking for validation from someone who doesn't give a damn... stop trying to fit in and conform to be something we can never be... stop contributing to a system that overall is repaying us with crumbs.
Come on Afrikan people... let's build!! thoughts... ideas??
