Thank you for sharing your experience Brother Blackbird!
That was a key perspective which was missing for me. Someone who has personally experience this process and had inside insight of the process. Also, Sister Astrologer opened me up to some things to consider as well.
Thank you Sister Astrologer!
You've provided much food for thought and another
way to look at it as well. Will i dismiss all information coming from non-Blacks about our own? Probably not, but i will be examining it a lot more closer.
I would love to see more of our own reporting about us, but that is not the case. We tend to stay away from issues that make us feel bad or that may show us in a negative light. Maybe it's because it helps many of us to feel less responsible, and excuses us from being motivated to do something about it. I don't know. But if we don't want non-blacks painting false pictures, we're gonna have to get out here and do the footwork.
