I told you they were going to keep coming lol!!!
Ok, I've got a lot of venting to do as we begin 09. But here goes;
As I look at what has been an amazing year of progress, change, and a downward spiral in the quality of life. I am faced with one Massive conclusion; African Americans are still undoubtly trapped in the Cave!!!
Socrates once said that all human kind is trapped in a cave, a cave that is ruled only by lights behind those captured. These people see the shadows created by the lights and think that these, illusions are real.
I believe this is the state that we are in! How? thats pretty simple, our youth now has yes seen the election of the first black President. However, one could argue that this amazing accomplishment is overshadowed by the tons of suedo intellectual images that they are bombarded with on a regular basis.
The very popular, and often ignorant acting, Soulja Boy, has been recently quoted as thanking Massa, and all his helpers during Slaver, for creating purpose, and showing the slaves, order and bringinng us out of the jungle. Need more evidence?
The Rapper Young Berg has been been quoted on Radio for saying he only dates Light skinned women, and that he doesn't do "Dark Butts"!!!
Given these tremendiously stupid and racially backward ass comments, are young men are becoming nothing more than a bunch of enept, empty, drones with nothing to live for or anything to live for.
But as I vent I realize this is not the end of the Cave, the Cave suggests that those of us that have already been brought out of the darkness are charged with the task of reaching back and pulling at least ONE person from the Cave. I employ those of you that realize the grim status of things to step back. We need to save our Boys, and the only way to do this is to step back into what we left and grab someones hand and teach them dammit!
So I leave you with this... How many have you saved?

My Brother...
ReplyDeleteAs we all know it is very hard to help those who are ignorant and arrogant enough to think that they are well off. Also, mix in a little pride and you have an ego too self-conscious to know that it is wounded.
One thing that President Obama is preaching is CHANGE. And he does not speak of one subject more than another. He has generalized the subject to tell us that there is a lot to be done... not just within the infastructure of Northern American politics, but within the communities in which we live in. We must look within ourselves for CHANGE!
But with every radical movement, there will be doubts and fears. We as a people must be able to overlook and overcome such things and be able to see that our future is sitting right there just waiting for the taking.
