What Black people need to do now
My mom sent this to me. It is funny and kinda true:
WHAT BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO DO NOW by Tavis Smiley
What Black people need to do now .. not worry about
stem cell research or cloning, cause they ain't
thinking about using us on any one of them.
What Black people need to do now ... invest in
businesses in Harlem while Clinton is still there and
then sell it before Hillary moves his behind out of
Manhattan.
What Black people need to do now ... support Ilyanna
and Ananda the way that white folks supported Rosie.
What Black people need to do now ... stop wearing
Capri pants when your ankles look like you been
kicking white flour.
What Black people need to do now ... is realize there
is a difference between being Ghetto and being
tasteless. There is a difference, y'all.
What Black people need to do now ... recognize that
Spike Lee and Keenan Ivory Wayan's true legacy might
not be in film making but in discovering talent and
granting opportunities. I challenge you to look at the
resumes these guys have put forth for Black America
and America to consider.
What Black people need to do now ... be afraid right
now of the next Eminem.
What Black people need to do now ... don't let white
America hold Jesse Sr.'s infidelity against Jesse
Jr.'s burgeoning career. Can't let that happen folks.
What Black people need to do now .... keep supporting
FUBU, Sean John and Phat Farm. I think this plan is
working.
What Black people need to do now . somebody please
find Starr Jones a man.
What Black people need to do now ... after the Gospel
Slide we need to stop it right there y'all. We done
gone too far now.
What Black people need to do now ... recognize that
Jill Scott might be the Maya Angelou of our generation
and hope that white folks don't try to steal her from
us.
What Black people need to do now .... stop aspiring to
Harvard while good schools like [Albany State
University], [Clark Atlanta University], Howard,
Hampton [and Tougaloo] are still open.
What Black people need to do now ... wonder why every
color M&M's have gotten a commercial except the brown
ones.
What Black people need to do now ... is stop calling
our two year old kids smart and cute just because they
know the words to the nasty songs on the videos.
What Black people need to do now .. stop going on job
interviews dressed like you're going to a party.
What Black people need to do now ... stop trying to
win money on those survival type games on TV. Just
like in the movies, we are always the first ones to
get voted out. Get real, y'all.
What Black people need to do now ... they need to know
as much about investing in the stock market as we do
about all the characteristics of the Zodiac signs. Ask
average Black folk what the NASDAQ is, they don't know
nothing, but tell them you're a Scorpio and they will
give you the low down!!!
What Black people need to do now ... need to get their
bank accounts and credit cards out of the red instead
of walking around with all their teeth covered in
gold, especially if you're still riding the bus and
living at 'yo Momma house'.
What Black people need to do now ... need to stop
naming our kids after liquor and expensive cars. I've
had enough of that.
What Black people need to do now ... need to stop
getting mad when their boss tells them to get off the
phone at work and you've been on a two hour personal
phone call. 'Why you mad about that?'
What Black people need to do now ... need to learn how
to dab just a little cologne and not the whole bottle.
What Black people need to do now ... turn down the
volume on our TVs and CD players so we can stop
walking around talking so loud all the time.
What Black people need to do now ... stop spending 40
to 50 million dollars to build a church and you walk
outside on the same street stepping over homeless
folks. Can I get a witness!!!
Where there is Faith, there is Love.
Where there is Love, there is Peace.
Where there is Peace, there is God.
Where there is God, there is no Need.
