much respect...
my brotha, doggystyle82, i find it interesting that because i asked you a pointed question that i am not learned and i am not expressing myself intellectually. i do not have to
prove to you whether i'm educated...i know that i am...and i know that i am an intellectual.
and i am not asking you to argue with me...i am merely asking...when has there been a time in this country when there has been a high moral standard? i just want to know. because saying we have to "get back" to morality means that there was a time when in this country there was such a thing. i'd like to know in your opinion when there was a time that this existed.
but in any case...mandingonupe this post...

I really hope that learned people on GreekChat can read through the bullspit that LASTPOETINSITE passes off as intellectual discourse. She says she is not saying something, then says it two sentences later. I won't argue with her.

is the reason why we as black people cannot find decent leadership. because we are quick to swipe at one another. we are like poodles biting at one anothers heels. it is not enough for us to agree to disagree...we must make sure that we bash one another when absolutely necessary. and we are also not willing to hear one another out when we do disagree. nor are we able to answer one anothers questions with intelligence, sensitivity, and compassion.
this is why there can be no leadership. and why white amerikkka laughs at our so-called "leaders" when they present themselves to tell our side.
i agree with nupe4life when he said that we should present ourselves as a whole...but as the above quote shows we could not do that. we are too busy attacking one another to do such a thing. we talk before we listen. we bash before we embrace. we hate before we love.
maybe we should take a cue from our brothers and sisters in other ethnic and racial groups. we should stop being like crabs in a barrel. if we cannot even agree to disagree on an online forum...without being insulting...how could we even face one another and fight "the good fight" together.
its highly unlikely...that we would win.
this is not to say that all black people are like this. but it would seem that there are more black people who are uninterested in working together and who are more interested in destroying one another...than there are on the other end.
i hope that i can one day find a group of black people who are interested in change...no matter if we agree or not.
peace,
lastpoet
