So I have been trying to figure out how to say this is a non-racist way but I guess I will probably piss some people off.
Often times I become upset wondering what it is that makes whites hate blacks so much. Please understand that I am referring to the racist whites of course. We are depicted as buffoons, animals, & aggressors but if I am correct whites are the ones that attack us. Truth be told, it’s not in our nature to be so aggressive. When we pray with others we pray together, when we protest it’s peacefully. Marin Luther King led us to that but so did Malcolm. We say that they were so opposite but they serves the same purpose. By any means necessary yes but in defense. Even his followers didn’t shoot first or become aggressive first; they stood there with guns. Intimidating yes but when you are attacked you respond. I was always taught to never hit anyone unless they hit me first. Makes you really think. They break our legs, then blame us for limping. ~Malcolm X … They fear their reflection so they reflect it upon us. ~ Alexis Cutsumbis
Now that I have come to this conclusion, I wonder how we as blacks learn how to stick together
I think it is interesting that blacks are peaceful when marching against injustice against the white man, but are so violent towards each other...you know, the ‘crab in a barrel’ mentality. As children, young black men are taught to go out and get what they can get, by any means necessary and at the same time, submit and "make no waves" when it comes to the white man, be it the police, a boss or the average white citizen. You know…”We don’t want no trouble.” Be peaceful with those that oppress you, but aggressive toward one another.
