Progression Towards Africans in America, Only Because the White Man Said So?

(ThyBlackMan.com) This week I had this conflict with a white female, as she claimed I was racist because I support black couples and she felt as if I was putting down interracial relationships, which my stance on that is I do not support interracial relationships and here is why. There will never be progress in the black community if we continue to let white folks endure our culture. They already stripped us of our culture. So to let them in while we heal from the traumatic damages white folks have caused us, will only give them more leverage over our lives. And, we deserve to control and have power when it comes to ours lives. To elaborate, if we as Africans in America want to progress as a race, that means we have to stay loyal and committed to one another, when it comes to romance.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t have white friends but, I am saying that when it comes to dating and figuring out who you want to be with till death do you apart then you should choose and always have you eyes on a black man or a black women. Now, I know a lot of people like to argue that love is love but that is not necessarily the case. Love is love but that depends on how conscious you are. Striving black families is what the black community needs in order to progress wealth in our community. We are stronger together; with that said, when we control and have power within our communities as far as health, living situations, and education, then will we be on the path of success and real progression.

My question for our community is, when will the black community stop letting white folks determine their livelihoods? How long will we continue to let them make decisions and think for us? You really think Amerikkka is here to represent us in the best way possible? If that was the case the result of that is horrific. I’d also like to add that, to anyone who calls you racist based off of your beliefs, that you feel will better the black community, you should ask them these three questions.

How can any black person in America be racist without any political or economical power?

What system do Africans in America have on their own that grants them privilege over other races?

What system do Africans in America have on their own that oppress other races and plays in their favor?

Be sure to let them know that racism is institutionalized, it is systematic, and if Africans in America fail to have power to set laws and policies in their favor then we can’t be racist until we are able to create our own system that plays in our favor. Make them understand that bias and racism are two very different things.

On a personal perspective, you cannot go 500 years and ongoing of oppression from white folks and let your walls down and trust them. Racism is systematic, its institutionalized, so just because not every living white person doesn’t have some sort of prejudice towards black folks, doesn’t mean we should intertwine with them when it comes to romance and commitment. There’s no way I’m going to let myself or any of my kids date outside their race with the people who rape, murder, create genocide, and systematically oppressing Africans. They’ll never be progress in the black community if we continue to let white folks endure our culture.
