I think that many of us, and I used to do it aswell, have gotten so used to look outside as for the reason why we CAN'T.

We have gotten so ushed to being the victims and we can't see anything else.

We think they we, of all the people on earth, throughout all of history, are the only people who have suffered, as if we have a premium on pain.

We don't. We also want to point the finger at Europeans and slavery as why we should hate them, yet...we ignored the fact that AFrican were the FIRST to sell slaves, and to add insult to injury slaves were sold to Europeans for SPICES...but we are to ignore this fact.

Or they will say "Well you can't blame all of Africa, because it was only a small portion of AFricans".....if you point out the same "Well you can't blame all whites because if was only a small portion of whites" they will tell you its not the same.

They tell you that we can't suceed, that we can't compete, that we can't learn.....and then in the same breath want to tell you how strong we are.

Hmmmmm...........

Until we stopp looking at them, and start looking at us, we will never reach our full destiny as a people. Saying that we should take much of the responsibility for out own actions is VERY unpopular, it removes the "other" and shows us to be the ones who can fix our problems.

And think you for the compliment.......but you do know the BTUB (Blacker Than You Brigade) is going to attack you for it.
