For Black Unity & Love We Must Cease Fire.

(ThyBlackMan.com) One can only imagine what black community would be like in 2016 if our men and women were united. Our unification, and love, have been under attack since our ancestors were taken to this land. Too many of us stereotype, and put each other down, as a whole because of a bad encounter. There is good and bad in every race so why is it when we are dealing with our own the terms “all” or “every” has to be applied. This behavior is counter-productive, and very dangerous when it begins to work its way into movement.

We’ve gotten use to “black men don’t love nor support black women”, and “black woman are about drama and bitter”. This poison causes us to discourage each other in love, and try to write each other out of the current day movement. Without value amongst our men and women no movement will be successful for our people.

The twitter hashtag #BlackMenSupportLeslieJones went viral as 2017-blackcouple-2017 brothers reacted to the cyber-attack against comedian Leslie Jones. She has been treated harshly on social media as many saw her as unattractive as she doesn’t fit into the box of “what is beautiful”. Many black women responded with joy that black men were defending a black woman. Some even commented it’s about time, as if we have been totally undefended by All Black Men. Malcolm X’s quote is thrown around quite a bit, but did we forget the quote came from a black man?

“The most disrespected person in America is the Black woman, the most unprotected person in America is the Black woman. The most neglected person in America is the Black woman.“

Black celebrities are not the largest percentage of the black male population. There are many black men that support, uplift and fight for black women every day. We cannot continue to allow our view of black men to be determined by the media, and our personal relationships. Yes, that plays a part but we can’t blanket ALL black men under the pain that we have personally experienced.

In kind black men must begin to realize every black woman is not a single mom on welfare or a gold digger. All of us are not using our education, and careers to belittle black men. All of us do not view you as less than. It would be very helpful for black men to congregate among each other to address the treatment of black women. We all must hold each other accountable, and we cannot throw stones at each other and achieve unity. We must realize we are still marrying each other in high percentage, and black love is still beautiful.

The media has feed us so much hatred that we have begun to believe it. We are literally attaching our personal experiences to the whole of our community which we don’t know. If we open our eyes we, sisters and brothers, can receive healing from each other. Yes, black love is still beautiful. Some of us love outside of our race, and it’s okay. However, we ought not be ridiculed by our own for loving our own. It is not a waste of time to love a black man that loves us back. It is not a waste of time to love a black woman that loves you. We must get to a place of positive unity, and accepting of our love for community to heal.

It amazes me how many of you are still brainwashed to call yourselves BLACK. Black is not an identity and scientifically black is not even a color. It is next to nothing. Black is the “color” of your car tires, not your skin. The white oppressive slave trader called you black and himself white to set up a contrast and to attach negative images and denotations to you based on a lie about color. Look up BLACK in the dictionary.
Research even shows that blacks are perceived by other groups as very different from African Americans. But we still keep calling ourselves what someone else defined us as, what we are not and what has a negative dictionary denotation in society. WAKE UP. LOOK AT THE REAL COLOR OF YOUR SKIN. YOU ARE NOT BLACK. You are an African American. The lie of calling us black and defining us by color (the wrong color) has been in place so long that our people accept it as truth – but it’s not. Know your colors.
Native Americans do not allow others to call them red men. Asians do not accept being called yellow men. Hispanics do not answer to “what’s up brown man”. And Caucasians are not white, notebook paper is white. Wake up and see the plan where white racist supremacists plotted to redefine our people from Africa. STOP CALLING YOURSELF SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE NOT!
AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT BLACK.
Black is the color of your car tires, not your skin author. Being called “black” is a lie and it should be offensive. Haitians, Jamaicans and even Africans do not accept being called “black”, Why do you think that is? They are identified by tribes, klans, geographic areas and their respective countries. By using the very term black to describe us, we are doing the following:
1. Using a term white oppressors and slave masters gave us.
2. Letting someone else define us other than our own people.
3. Calling ourselves something we are not.
4. Buying into thee lie and the negative denotation. Check the dictionary.
5. Being set apart in a way that no other ethnic group allows. Native Americans are not called Red Man. Asians are not called Yellow Man. Hispanics are not called Brown Man. They do not and will not accept being defined by color and by some other race or ethnic group at that.
6. Ignoring our actual color (brown) which means brainwashing has worked. Any time someone can get an entire race, ethnic group or culture to ignore what they are and call themselves what they factually are not, THEY HAVE BEEN INDOCTRINATED, ASSIMILATED AND BRAINWASHED.
7. Playing right into the oppressor’s profiles and stereotypes. Did you know studies show there is a different perception of black people than there is of African Americans? Words create perceptions and perceptions create actions towards us.
WAKE UP. You know your colors. And even though others around the world equated our ancestors with the color of the soil in Africa or the meaning of negro/negroid, that does not change the fact that WE ARE BROWN – NOT BLACK.
If you look in the dictionary or send an email to brainstormonline@yahoo.com, I will send you the research. Facts are facts and YOU ARE BROWN, NOT BLACK. When you receive the revelation of why they keep calling African Americans “black” and Caucasian people “white”, you may just wake up!
STOP LETTING OTHER GROUPS DEFINE YOU WITH AN OBVIOUS LIE that we have heard and accepted so much that we believe it’s true and forget our colors. The de-programming has to take root or African Americans will forever be defined, limited and oppressed by those who get us to accept a lie.
