I just saw this memorial page at Excite: Never Forget
Isn't it curious that those words are uttered any time white folks suffer a tragedy, but let a black person say "never forget" about slavery or racism or any of the other myriad of atrocities that have befallen us and we're languishing in "victimhood" and "blaming the man"!

Ah, the eternal double standard. All we can do is continue to rise above it.

Thats 100% percent our fault!!! we have the KNOWLEDGE and Power to get out underneath, this perceived GARBAGE!!!. I know plenty of black men and women , who have been shot down, for being opinionated, but factual, and mostly by us!!!. I try not to dwell on what others think of me, but try to be the best me I can be!!. The one TRUE thing I hate about us in general, is we still submit to them, when it comes to anything!!! that would lead to our true feelings, as a group!!!! I respect people, I don't submit!!!!!!!!!. If I feel hurt or empathy, for a tragedy, I don't have to point out other things to justify, why I feel this. I could care less , if a white man likes me or not, it's a waste of energy!!!. At the same time, I'm not stupid enough, to be into this self hate crap, they put into our religions, rape into our women and men, and we have successfully BITTEN into too!. I feel what I feel because I feel it!!!!. The reason, they don't show missing black girls on TV news is simple, WE DON"T WATCH!!!!!!!! The reason, they don't respect our history, is because WE DON"T The reason, they SELECT, who's on the news, is because we as a GROUP, don't know whom!!!!!!!!! our leaders really are!!! and we DON'T watch!!! This is simple, we need to learn to do us better and stop wasting time, worrying about things you can't change, about other cultures and what they think about us!!!
