Without re-envisioning and re-invention of ourselves as to what it means to be of African descent without the influence of oppression, we will never move beyond what we are witnessing now...
And without struggle, there is no progress...
So how far are we willing to go to prove we need our own stuff and prove a point to folks?
The minute something in the 'hood works, "they" will find it illegal, steal it from us, or some other crazy stuff... Been there, done that and gotten a T-shirt that says please screw me over again and again...
"They" don't want US educated--causes to many problems with freedoms they are ready for us to have...
In the meantime, what can we do about it while you and I are living?
Don't hate the playa, hate the game... I'm justa squirrel trying to getta nut--tryin' to make a dolla outta 15 cents...
I dunno?
Why does this kinna thing ALWAYS happen when Republicans are in office? I think there are other folks that are getting disenfranchised too who actually are died in the wool red staters that voted for Dubya this go-round...
But whatever it is, the last time they had the MMM, some white dudes started hounding me as to why black men had to be together and hook up?
I coulda said, "Why not?" then have gotten into an argument...
I coulda said, "I don't agree with it", but I would have felt like a sell out...
But what I said stopped them in their tracks:
"What's wrong with a million men!!!"
And the white girl who I worked with had the perfect timing who said, "All in ONE place!!!"
Needless to say, they didn't harass me after that...
