Unfortunately those white people who created the dictionaries used in schools, libraries etc would disagree with you. They attached a negative meaning to black and then attached BLACK to us, a people who are in FACT brown, not black.

As for slave mentality, programming is not shaken off as easy as you would want to make it seem. Nor is behavior that keeps getting reinforced like getting money by any means necessary, the degradation of our women by Nikki Minaj and others.

I get the sense that you don’t say “black” people because of its definition in the dictionary. Well, the word black isn’t the only word that has the same or similar meaning. Its not the definition that gives negativity to the word black. It’s when black people of all ages are called names like black bastard, ugly black whatever, black b**ch, and so on. These were come out of the mouths of moms, dads, and any other adult. And these words are said to their own children and/or other relatives. No REAL mother or father would say such filthy words, especially to their own children. Plus, if anyone looks up the one word black, they could study and read a whole lot more words and definitions. It’ll expand their vocabulary.

Now, about this black on black crime. This subject has gotten swept under the rug for many, many, many years. The excuses are ALWAYS racism, slavery, and conspiracy. The slave master this, the slave master that. The slave master taught us how to hate and kill each other during slavery. But slavery ended many, many years ago. Racism and slavery have long since been convenient crutches for a large % of blacks to lean on whenever its convenient for them.

If you consider yourself a slave for however many years and you’re not an actual slave, then you need to do away with your slave mentality. Nobody else can do that for you. Nobody.

Black criminals are not innocent victims. When they commit crimes, they should be punished. There’s entirely too much sympathy for these criminals who commit crimes against their victims. And its only getting worse. The black community as a whole, it seems, doesn’t understand the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. No so-called leader has really addressed the real issues plaguing the black race. Why would they when more than half of them are just like common, street criminals.
