often times our people are considered not black....not because of the skin tones but because of things a certain demographic in our community deem not worth of being called black .
Why does the most broke of the broke get to make rules on whats black? Or whats cool?
why is considered Black?
What is considered cool? and miss me with the its what you make it and dont listen to others.....this is about how can this even be a thing?
why are we not pushed to be individuals? and still be black?
why cant we be both successful and articulate and be black?
why must a persons blackness revolve around his or her interactions with the hood or lower income.
This is not who we are yet we claim we dont want to be in a box yet let want nothing people place us in a box.
Lets keep it 100...people had said they dont consider Obama as black because he didnt grow up in chicago....and he didnt live a true black mans experience. But what about the black people who grew up in the burbs or outside of america?
are they not black?
speaking of that.....why do people place their nationality above their color..like that means something on the grand scheme of things.
Why do people tend to place their religion above their color..like that means something?
a jamaican muslim is still black no? or what will he identify first?
why must he make a choice? good question.
why must the other stuff overtake his color?
So what is your blackness rooted in?
What makes you black outside of your color?
And what makes certain shit acceptable and other stuff not in our community.
To build we must ask about the foundation first.
Lets have a conversation.
