Thank You both for the indepth replies, Queenie and Deepy....
Queen, You know that I agree with you when you say We must face the facts that nothing in society as a whole is going to change. I, faced and to a certain degree have accepted that there will always be racism and that We, in the African-American community are going to be it's chief Victims. I have also accepted the fact that There Are, In Fact, African-American Racists, who PREY For Our Destruction Too-- I know that they are Our Weak...and I accept they are there.
I think, too, that We have to accept that Police, in General, are a tool used in Our destruction...and We may have to forego their presence; for the presence of Communal Justice. I know that Vigilantism is not a good thing...but We have to do something?
I agree too, that We have to actively combat societal pressures that affect Us... but We already do that too... A big problem is that too manyof Us worry more about filling Our Bellies, instead of making sure the community is represented in the right manner. We have to stop uplifting those in Our community that does this.
Farrakhan has it right; We have to stop putting ineffective African-Americans in political offices.
We have to stop Our kids idolising Black Men who only want them so that they can live a Bling-Bling lifestyle and do nothing for the community. Not even speak to things that are threats to the Community.
Deepy: I don't know if a psychiartrist is the answer.... and in my mind, with all that goes on against Us... it is a miracle that We are not standing ontop of buildings picking people off. If Our mental strengths are beginning to erode, after all the stuff We have to face, We are still good. We have a right to have rage. African-Americans using their Love can do for Us what no Books ever can.
