SadeLuv I just want to say that a12deltanudst is not making generalizations. Black People as whole really have a poor sense of self love. When you look at other races who have been through similar things such as we have(such as jewish people, Indians) and you see that for the most part as a whole they are better off than us still today. That has alot to do with the fact that they can come together and respect each other and be strong as a race. HIspanics and Asians come to this country doing better than us also. They are all less likely to look down on each other and marry outside their race and dog each other as we are. Regardless of what White people do at this point in our lives until WE as a people become stronger then WE will always be lagging behind everyone else. You are taking it personal and that makes me wonder if maybe ms.a12deltanudst hit a nerve with you! Sweetie..... in this forum (and in everday life) I try to keep confrontations with my people to a minimal because we tend to lash out at each other about any little thing but yet, we are not so quick to lash out at others. This was my point in the begining, we are so divided and instead of supporting each other we tend to support others! Such things as interracial dating and etc etc are just another means of division! When I think of a interracial couple(etc etc) i see that as a form of poor self worth or lack of love for ones people. Unity is the only way to bring about a change and we can NOT unify with other races if we can not unify amongst OURSELVES. What makes a Black Person choose a White person over another Black Perosn to love and marry (etc etc) I mean yes people claim that "it had nothing to with race thats who i fell in love with". Well love is a slow process it is nothing that happens overnight, i mean you have to be friends first and so on and so forth so what makes one choose to TRY and identify with someone of another race instead of with one of their own? Whats wrong with their own? Where is the love for one self? WE lack it Sadeluv and we lack it badly! No matter how much you want to admint it or not. YOu call her statistics redundant, but what is true is true! I do not need to read any statistics to KNOW that every day we lose a brother or a sister to death at the hands of one of us! Everyday a child lose their BLACK MOTHER OR FATHER leaving them dam near hopeless and thus creating a complex! Everyday we lose a brother or sister to success, that they have gained but now refuses to deal with us! Everyday we lose a brother or a sister to an interracial relationship, creating division and the weakening of the already weak Black Family! I could go on for days! THE POINT IS MY SISTER, IF THINGS OF THIS NATURE(AND MUCH MORE) IS NOT LACKING SELF LOVE THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE FOUND A NEW MEANING FOR THE PHRASE! MUCH LOVE TO ALL MY PEOPLE! WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT!
