and writing segments that ineffectively dissect African American
men and their community. To examine a problem you have to know a
problem. Mainstream America doesn't know the Black man or the Black
woman because they don't know the person--they know the persona.
Everyone has a persona.African American men and women want to be free to pursue their desires as do
You don't need to dissect a persona.
White ones and Mexican ones and Asian ones. We all
want the same but have different routes to get there.
Some want to marry and raise a family financially and emotionally.
Some simply want to live in peace and not be in the corporate world
or wealthy or have a family at all.
Some just want to have a baby and let it raise itself. Some don't
understand what they want to do and do it anyway and when the times
get tough--they go.
And some are just self-destructive. They want to be a pimp, playa,
hustle and maybe grow-up one day.
One real solution is that African Americans need to create their
own wealth. Start a business needed in your community, put up with
your people and the baggage they carry and keep your money in your
community. Start a union in your community at your business and pay
union wages to your people. And live in your community because
well-to-do whites are running out of places to live Black-free.
(y'all know what I'm talking about)
Have you noticed that whites aren't breaking down the door to live
in economically depressed or wealthy Black areas? If the community
is on the upswing, then the indigenous peoples are priced right out
of the neighborhood or they sell and move.
African Americans make a habit of finding the whitest area--no
matter if the schools are crap or not--and move in and then cry
when the KKK is on the doorstep burning crosses.
(is it because there is too much crime in our communities?)
We don't like living in our own community that much and I know why
but if decent Whites and Mexicans can live and work amongst
themselves without needing or seeking out others to bolster their
community, why can't we?
