Can you stick to the topic that the writer has brought up instead of trying to force your agenda on others? Fine, believe what you want when you want and despite my words, where you want but can you at least show respect to other writers on this blog site? Black people like you are a part of the problems we as a people face. No one can bring up any topic, dissect it, discuss it and build on it without another black person showing up with their own agenda and “firebombing” the thought stream.

As for the writer of this blog, I certainly agree. It is terribly hard to even have conversations with other black people about the things you mentioned in your blog. It is why I have “nearly” given up on the greater black community. It is one of feckless leaders, intellectual dishonesty and cowards in the face of obvious truths. Truth that can heal and strengthen the black community and dispel the lies that currently keep it in mental arrest.

You might also be interested to know that over 95% of the time kids are awarded to the mother in a divorce yet reputable stats show that child abuse is 16% higher when the mom is the custodial parent than when the dad is the custodial parent. These stats are kept from the public in order to sway public opinion in favor of the female. NOBODY SHOULD BE HIT or ABUSED.

Then there is the issue of child abuse because so many of you use violence as a means of disciplining your children. Neglect is swept under the rug far too often and many parents do not know where discipline stops and where abuse starts.

Why are you so obsessed with ignorance, allowing someone to call you something you are NOT, failing to acknowledge what your eyes see and failing to overstand how negative perceptions affect negative attitudes and actions? You need a lesson in basic psychology and sociology. Stop sticking your head in the sand and look at the facts. Call yourself what you are. You are not too bright and how people perceive us inaccurately is part of the problem.

It amazes me how many of you are still brainwashed to call yourselves BLACK. 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.

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.
