I realize that I see the world differently from others and that is my cross to bear, but I am really worried for folks who think that just because President Obama is in office then magically everything racist wise will be wiped out with a big magic wand. It doesn't work that way people. Minorities are going to be targeted more and more because Caucasian people feel as if they are being threatened in some way, shape or fashion. I am not trying to stir up the masses, I am not being paranoid but it's real out here some Caucasians are in a panic and they are making it their business to be prepared ammunition wise case in point my fellow blogger :UNITED STATES OF ANTHONY has an article detailing the rise in gun sales and it's not Jamal and Raheem buying these guns it's Bill and Roger. I keep trying to sound the alarm to make my brotha's and sista's around the world aware of the potential danger you could be in but y'all don't hear me though shrugs.
Just a friendly heads up...you can take the warning and say thanks of wait in blissful ignorance either way don't say I didn't try to warn you.
Hey man.. as long as we keep sounding this alarm. At the same time, we have to remind others and ourselves that this is not some "all whites" issue so that we don't inadvertently cause a reaction that's unnecessarily all encompassing. White folks in general are just as good and gracious as Black folks. We obviously have our problems just as any one else. This proves this isn't a racial thing, just a human thing. But, for some, it is racial and those are the ones we have to watch out for.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I try to be a peaceful person to do my part to maintain a peaceful nation. I can only hope that the people who are sworn to protect us do their sworn duty. At the same time, I am not so naive to believe that they can do it all for me or for us. So, we have to do the job of watching our own backs, watching each other's backs and stepping up when called to do so.
hey lady j. well i dont know what to say about this one. i am not scared just disappointed that in the year 2008 people are still stuck in that 1850 mentality. some white folks are so funny, they bring us here, rape us, use us for slavery and then hate our guts.
ReplyDeleteif it was not for them, high yella girls like me would not exist. let them buy their guns. maybe they can take them to the white house and protest and lobby before congress and beg for their factory jobs back (my bad, china and india got them on lock.)
we as black people do not have the power to hold anyone down except ourselves. i dont even think them and their guns are worth our time. i am going to keep living, striving to be better and do what i have to do.
although blacks are dying at an alarming rate we are still here. we have survived through slavery, aids, genocide, ethnic cleansing, wars upon wars, the tuskegee experiment and we are still here.
by 2030 - 2050 whites are going to be less than half of the total population in america. lets see if those guns can fix that. hispanics are going to be outnumbering blacks and whites. lets see those guns fix that.
@ Anthony, human? To go get guns and ammunition like assault weapons? That's a human reaction??? Then pardon my human reaction when I say pinktoes be on some other type shit.
ReplyDelete@Dulce you right about that, the thing about them is they have a whole heritage and culture intact that allows them to mobilize and have a movement, they believe in family very strongly.
Girl, all I gotta say is read my latest blog. It's definitely related to this very issue, and President Anthony Taurus' blog on this subject matter:
