Ain't that the truth, my Triad Sistah! Have I been questioned about my blackness? If I had a dollar for everytime I was, I would be rolling in dough!
And hell yeah it hurts when it is members of your own family.
A damn shame!
The thing is, I know more about OUR history and OUR heritage than these sorry no account folx who have the NERVE to question me!
The crabs in a basket BS mentality has got to go. It is attitudes like this that TRY to keep us down. Hell with attitudes like that, we don't have to worry about "the man"
keeping us down...we are doing a pretty good job on our own!
Great topic
