Sometimes I feel like people need to attend seminars or something on black pride to rid themselves of what I suspect to be self hating. Nothing will ever change until people start loving themselves-- that in turn will lead to loving other people & improve communities. I'm so sick of hearing people talking about getting with other people so their kids could get "good hair". People using bleaching creams because they think being light skinned is the only way to the top, or get accepted. Blacks critisizing other blacks for being dark skinned. How stupid is that? How can other people respect you when you don't even respect yourself? I also feel like black people are out of good role models. All the ones that people look up to are dead. Fact is, most young kids these days cant relate to the old role models, they dont even get what they stood for because they're not struggling with the same issues that made those people role models in the 1st place. So they'd rather choose Lil Wayne as an idol & listen to him when he says women are whores, talking about "redbones", etc. Black people, "the man" is not putting you down, you're putting yourselves down & making a laughing stock out of yourselves with these "high yella" statements..it shows you're not comfortable in your own skin.
