The reality is that a lot of people don't know what they are talking about. I get so tired of hearing black people act like we've had to go at everything alone. Make no mistake, we were at the forefront of ever moral movement in this country. We are basically the divining rod for ethics in the U.S. I would never take that away from us, but this idea that we have always stood alone should come off as ridiculous and stupid to anyone who has any knowledge of history. It's 100% fact that no nonblack group has been down for us. So what? We can get ever black person to be down for us. How are we going to hold other races to a higher standard than we hold ourselves. Yes, Native Americans use the blood quanta stuff to deny benefits to black/Native mixes. However, they also too escaped slaves in and defended our ancestors when white people tried come capture us. Yes, white people have been terrible to us, but John Brown died and damn near sacrificed his whole family for the cause of freeing black people. Ain't a black person alive now that's going to that extent for any cause. Let's just be real. It's not about getting a whole group on our side. We work with who we can and give the finger to everyone else. It's that simple.
