Congratulations Soror Kelli on a thorough job of presenting the facts of our world as Black Americans.
I would have to agree that Blacks as a whole do not love ourselves. If we love each other, how come we have fathers making babies but not taking care of our babies, not raising our babies, etc. We have parents sending kids to school when they need a babysitter but have not taught them the basics such as their name and how to treat others with respect. I know this because I am a TEACHER! I see this everyday and I teach HIGH SCHOOL! (not yelling just emphasizing)
Going back to another one of your points, why is that my family was proud of me for graduating and being a teacher, but not as proud of my cousin for getting out of federal prison for selling drugs to our kids. A lot of people in my family think that I talk white, but that cannot be further from the truth but that hurt me. By them saying that, they are determined to keep me down in the bottom with them. Why can't I rise to the top and they be happy for me??
