Has anyone else besides me given this some thought? I am sitting here thinking about how most of us who are here at Destee.com have to be here for at least this obvious reason, we want to share discourse with those people who are the same as us, and if at all possible, to build with those people who are just like us in terms of sharing the collective experience of what it is to be Black/African decendant/African/ Melanted. I think that most of us are sincere about that.
Here is the thing though... We have so many differences that we don't even look at what we have in common. Here are some of the differences although I am sure I have left some out.
We got the Christians debating with the Muslims

I would like to hear from anyone the things that we have in common because if we got all of the above to deal with and no commonalities, I hate to say it but we would be effed and if you think you can separate yourself from that fact, you would just be singled out, but never the less still effed.
Meanwhile, YT is watching us all fall like the tower of Babel so what does that make us all have in common outside of the obvious that I first mentioned? Are we all fools although we would like to think not?
Sometimes I feel like if white people were to capture and enslave those of us who don't agree with us, as long as YT captured the ones we disliked due to disagreeance and differences, we would feel no remorse for that brotha or sista and would probably rejoice in one less black person left to disagree with and be different than us.
If you are reading this and a little piece of you is saying "yes it's true", I would be glad if he or she who opposes me or us would disapear or was terribly injured or, I could care less one way or the other... ask yourself this.... What does loyalty mean if not tolerance for your own people?
I know that some of you are going to say that those who oppose you are not your brotha or sista and if you feel that way, ask yourself this, what is your purpose, what do you wish to accomplish by reaching out to other Africans/Black people/ African Decendants/Melanated peoples?
I don't want to see any of my people harmed, so for those of you who don't agree with me and you know that I don't agree with you, if you don't know nothing else, please know this, I wouldn't wish pain and sorrow on even my worst enemy so I sure as heck would not wish it on you. I understand though that there comes a time to make choices, when one must choose, make a fixed decision, choices that we don't want to make but must. However, those kind of choices are usually attributed to serious matters verses petty ones.
As I close I want to conclude that....
I understand silence is code for agreeance, non admittance or just plain old, "I'm not ready".
