Ulo that’s why I’m looking towards southeast asia and south america…mess around and have my own tiger woods out here or tech billionaire!!!!!!!!lol I am not mixing my genes with these mofos. Not marrying these chicks either because that means their weak ass brothers and sisters will become my brothers and sisters in laws. What a scary sight to imagine. Fuck that. I don’t hate myself. I;m dark and a handsome man, but niggas I can’t stand. I love my lineage enough to not put it with a group I see going downhill real fast. Black people have become a scab that will not heal as a collective. I’m doing like my Moorish/Kemetic ancestors and exploring the world. Blacks have shown to me that they can’t/won’t defend themselves because they don’t love each other. Blacks just have lost the luster they once had

I have believed for a long time that our nagitive behavior towards one another is a symptom of lack of self confidence and trust in themselves reflected onto others. I own and operate a small company that sells items that is overly costly and sells between $1000 and $4000. I have a website and can be found on many internet avertising sites. I got a call from from this senior brother, who had seen my items and prices on my site. He told me he liked my prices and had made a choice of the item he wanted. I met him at my warehouse and he showed surprise when he realized it was a black he had come to meet. He then begins to confirm my answers to his questions he had asked when we talked on the earlier on the phone. He aked me if I were a Christian, what church I belonged to, how long had I been in business, how did I get into this business, why my produce was so cheap, where did the items come from and what took cake, is when he asked with a nevous laugh, did you steal em, ha ha just kidding. He then decided he liked the model he choose on the web-site but he changed his mind about the color. I told him I did not have that model in another color and would have to order one custom made for him at the factory and it would take 3 to 4 business days to deliver, at no additional cost,by the way. He then said that was cutting things too close and he felt more comfortable paying a little more ($1499.99 + tax)with the larger more established company. But I seemed like a nice fellow and that he has lots of friends and would tell them about me and wished me God’s blessings. I don’t think this retired High School Administrator and Descon hates me, he just happened to be very particular about the different in a Bronze and Blue Casket. Which he has every right to do, don’t you agree? Let us pray.

Tavis Smiley, Cornel West or any other self-appointed black leadership does not represent me. They don’t influence me at all because I am fully capable of thinking for myself. I don’t engage in plantation politics and that’s exactly what the majority of them are, enslaved fools.

I don’t know if the author of this piece is black, but this is most certainly not an example of black on black racism. Jay Z is close the President and West doesn’t get along with Obama. Its not about being on one side or the other, its just blacks don’t think alike or have to always have to be kind to one another. Also, if a woman is cursing at someone who almost ran her over and your only concern is that she raised her voice. And wondered out loud to his sexuality. I don’t agree with the wondering out loud about someones sexuality but trying to get them fired for it has more to do with black on black hatred than anything. That is if the author is black.

Blacks do what they do best: sell each other out…not surprised….happened to Tupac, Malcolm, Marcus Garvey, Donald Goines, Khalid Muhammad, Martin Luther King and a whole host of others…..At the end of the day neither one of these niggas serve any purpose in my life….focus on your families first…and if you lack it didn’t figure out why you lack and seek to establish one….I see people on this site focusing more on celebrity culture than anything else…black people are paying for sins against their messengers in the 20th century and are being destroyed and should be for what they did to the strong black men they sold out that they complain about don’t exist anymore….you have weak faggots like jay z and cornel west and tavis smiley who represent you but when have black people ever sat down and said these people represent you? funny i never asked these mofos to be my leader…i lead my damn self…maybe you all should start doing the same thing

DesignsDelight,

I repeat:

So with respect to Cornel West, just take a minute to ask yourself the following questions. First, with everything the Republican Party is trying to do to Black people – obstructing our right to vote, trying to destroy our educational system, attempting to take away our parent’s and grandparent’s access to Medicare and Social Security, and trying to destroy our future by making higher education beyond our children’s reach – why is West focused on something as unimportant to our welfare as what Jay-Z is doing? In addition, West is as quiet as a church mouse regarding the role that his buddy, Tavis Smiley, played in helping Wells Fargo Bank swindle Black homeowners – at least, former Black homeowners. All of a sudden, “accountability” doesn’t apply in that case. http://washingtonindependent.com/59633/suit-alleges-trusted-black-figures-drew-minorities-to-high-rate-loans

But you know what he is saying is technically true?

I am not a Cornel Wset fan, but you should see how the corporations have neutralised political rap with a little help of the black moguls.Now all we get is gangster glorifying lyrics.

That has never been publicised, debated or digested because we like to believe that the P Diddy,s are living the American dream.

Jay Zs role in the New Jersey Nets has been exagerrated, he has a small shareholding.

West sounds bitter. So what, whatever percent that Jay-z does owns, he’s a malti-millionaire that work hard and turn around from his mishaps of how he earned his earlier money in his youth life. Jay-z don’t brag about what he owns as Brooklyn Nets, but he tells all if foscus on the right things in life you too can achieve great success. So Cornell West needs to talk about how to be successful in life and stop hating on Jay-z’s success.
