Thank you for responding sister Spicy. I think everything you have said here makes a lot of sense. Thank you, I deal strictly in reality. As i was listening to the radio program, i actually thought a lot about this site and how sometimes people just can't let a topic have any real peace. I see, you say one thing, and they pervert it to the point where it sounds like what they WANTED to hear all along. The minute people are agreeing and seemingly on one accord, someone has to break that peace and stir something up again. i see that happening in this thread. Its like excitement for some, they need to see people just a little bit divided to stay interested. Why are people like that? Misery loves company, they have NO life beyond cyber-space. Do we like a little bit of animosity in our relationships? Everybody likes a little challenge, but does that challenge HAVE to involve drama? You can go hang-gliding. I have a theory that many people can't help but create an argument where there previously wasn't one. Maybe this shouldn't bother me so much, but it really does. The other day someone responded to a thread with this sort of attitude, and i suddenly felt sick . It was one of those attitudes like "Aha, i finally caught someone saying something that backs up every negative opinion i ever felt. I see it too, I think in general these "Brothers" had/have a LOW OPINION(admittedly) of their sistren, so they spectate from a distance to catch you slipping. As soon as you type something they don't agree with, out comes the confession.This is just the thing i need to continue being pessimistic and avoid progress."
Now i realize we all have the right to be pessimistic or to avoid certain things that make us uncomfortable, but goodness does it have to be so broad scale? Do black people really sit around waiting for each other to act in a way that confirms our worst thoughts about each other? Sometimes they do.If we anticipate such things, and then have the nerve to get excited when it occurs, we have serious psychological problems and its no wonder some of us deal with all the drama we do. Perhaps they're seeking an adrenaline rush, or had "high hopes" for ya, then it soured.....
