It's all of the above.
You see, and not many people know this, but I happen to be of those ‘nice’, ‘loveable’ black folk who believe that our value to the human race cannot be assured without the ‘approval’ and ‘ratification’ of whites. It is they, and they alone who have the authority, (due to they superior knowledge of such matters) to say what is and is not good in ‘the world of black people’, and hence only they can proclaim what is worthy. In fact, personally, I am very unlikely to form an opinion or make a judgement on anything pertaining to black culture without first paying mind to the views. Furthermore, anything that questions or threatens their very valued position in my life is likely to receive condemnation from me.
The sad fact is that they are not enough free and sensible thinking blacks like me who can appreciate this indisputable fact. Instead you find many so-called ‘conscious’ black people who make the quite laughable suggestion that we have a culture that can be held up as an example to all. Really? Have white people said that? If they haven’t how can it be true?
You would not believe the amount of arguments I have had with such fools who seem incapable of grasping the simple truth and logic which says “we black people are not capable of determining what is worthy, what is right or wrong, or even what it is we experienced, without reference to ‘the white perspective’. Tell me how can we come to a reasonable conclusion on anything without taking heed of the ‘white perspective’? Pray tell, what other perspective is there?
This story of the little princess (don’t call her cracker that is so upsetting and not nice for it shows disrespect for a people that have given us so much) is very uplifting because it is yet more ‘confirmation’ of the ‘worth’ of our black culture.
Admit it, doesn’t it make you feel all warm and cosy inside to know white people want to emulate us? And isn’t it so satisfying to know that they can be just like us and become more prosperous, make lots and lots of greenbacks from copying us? In fact far much more than we can make by simply being……well….us.
Respect
There are those who feel that the only way to ‘prove their own worth’ is by ‘devaluing the worth of others’. You will often find that a man who is compelled to measure his substance against the substance of another, has little of substance in the first place!
