I think we need to start that mentality, if you want to know the truth.
1 Woman of Virtue: You really need to come by my house. I really think you are my twin in thought. *lol* Aren't you glad you took the red pill?
I live by "Powernomics". Anderson is so truthful that it hurts. I think every black person needs to read that book. But watch out, not everyone is ready for such raw truth and thought. Sometimes I have to put the book down just to figure out how I can swallow what I just read.
Black people make too many excuses. We have gotten too comfortable. We love to lie to ourselves about our status in Amerikkka. We love to tell ourselves that there is nothing wrong with our thought process and reasoning. We love to tell ourselves that we are doing well when if you look at statistics, that is a load of crap.
We need to REALLY start helping each other. I'm talking about that coat donation, soup kitchen, flea market throwing, cash/check/charge donation mess. While that might make you feel good for a little while, how long does that 'help' affect the recipient? How many people have been booted out of their HFH houses because they can't afford the small payment that they have to make each month. I say, why put a slice of bread on someone's plate when you can teach him how to open his own bread store? Oh, but wait! Who's gonna shop there when everybody thinks that the white man across the street sells better bread?!
A serious problem with blacks is that we take the food out of our own mouths when we don't have to. Why is that we chastise when it's unneeded and let the more important things slip? For instance in the Asian Community when someone has a business with terrible service, other Asians basically harass them into getting their act together. When a black person has slow and unprofessional service then we just stop going there. Why? I think most of us don't care if they go down or not. As long as it doesn't affect us, right? Well, let me be the one to break it to ya: IT DOES MATTER.
I support my own every chance I get and will do it 'till the day I die!
No excuses. Only solutions.
