1) When someone rejects you or can’t stand to be with you, would you in turn reject that personality, family, religion or wait for it……race. Maybe another race would do me better in dating? I shouldn’t be guilt ed in doing the same thing over and over, just because of “hotep unity”. I’ve been robbed 6 times from black folk but not white people, nor police violence. I’m tired of my circumstances being rejected for my race. IM A PERSON not a racial construct backed by nothing like the U.S dollar.

2) I was attacked for speaking proper english, for getting good grades, even not liking hip-hop. Or listening to other music besides hip-hop. Even anime, games, where I go to party. How I walk. Even how I cry.

3) The Black Community now is extremely individualistic. AMERICANS are individualistic. Like black women and their hair products some integration is impossible to curtail.

4) I never rejected the Black Community, the Black Community rejected me.

5) Give me a list of African American Cultural besides “religion” and “sexuality”. You can’t because it doesn’t exist (at least anymore).

You, my friend need to wake up to the world. You talk as if black people cannot think for themselves or that they are just making up this shit. Just because you haven’t experienced it doesn’t mean it is not true.

I hate to break it to you, but the civil rights movement was all about trying to be an American, but your people didn’t want Black people to have the same rights as an American and a lot still don’t. That’s why we have a different perspective from whites. To this day racism is alive and well in this country because most whites want Black people to get over and forget one of the most horrible periods in human history, yet your people have benefitted and are still benefitting from slavery and Jim crow.

As far as Africa, they are still having problems because as you say, for the last 300 hundred years or more, they have been trying to undue the damages from European colonialism and unfortunately like here in America, they haven’t been able to break the mental shackles that keep us from working together for the betterment of the people. But hey, if my people tried to wipe out a whole race of people and take their land, while forcing another group of people to work for free for more than 300 hundred years, I guess I would think like you too.

Black Unity means financial independence and happiness

I *hate* to break it to you (ok, that’s a lie) but we’re ultimately the same, and your idea that listening to different songs or whatever makes you different from those of the paler skin color is what is holding you back. Look at Africa. Things ain’t so great over there… and it hasn’t been for well over 300 years, if not longer. Maybe them crazy Europeans have something going with their outlook and culture.

Nothing says it quite like success.
