Out of one side of your mouth you talk about "social graces" and our (the Black community's) need for them in order to fit in, advance, whatever, in the white man's world....and then out of the other side of your mouth you talk about hating white people...you said "I have no desire to be like, be around, or cater to white American people."

And my point still stands. Please point out where I said we had to do it all the time and like it. You can play a game you don't like if you want the prize.

My point is this...if you don't like being around whites because of past negative experiences you've had with them, then you are stereotyping ALL white people based on the actions of a few...isn't that whites have done to blacks all of our lives? Why then would you feed into that same prejudice mentality?

I understand. I have met a lot of good people that happened to be white that I like and will always like. But I will never be able to affect the life of white people in the way that can to me. So what does it matter to you OR them what I feed into? It's not what you believe, but what you do, and I can't do a whole lot.
I have moments of hatred and despise. I don't live my life in such a condition. I'm just more vocal when I'm angry. I'm more likely to post when I dislike something rather than the opposite. And I don't stereotype all white people. I just said that I prefer not to live around them. Where is the stereotype? That's a FACT about ME, not an assumption about white people.

My suggestion to you would be to "DO YOU"...stop worrying over things like the social graces, or lack thereof, of the ENTIRE black community.
|
Trust me, I work on me everyday. But I don't see how you can truly love and care about something and never worry about it. Besides, if it wasn't this it'd be something else.

I'm sure you can direct your energies in a more positive way.

Hey, I got enough energy to deal with everything I need to deal with. I can b*tch about something for a week and then and turn around and do something positive.

If not...then seek therapy, because you shouldn't sweat the small stuff....cash or credit, c'mon, give me a break!

I'll bring that up in my next therapy session.
