PanAfrica:
You are right on target; but I don't think that we don't know what is going on; I think that we are too afraid to challenge it-constructively.
Civil Rights wasn't/isn't the only thing that we gave to White women and all those who did/ does immigrate here...
We continue to fight... the fight for "more minorities" on t.v. was and is led by Black Americans... and it works....
Although, it is just a mask--Affirmative Action-- fight was led, and is led, and is fought for mainly by Black Americans, yet, each and every group- including the majority "White Women,"- sit back as we fight, as we are villified, as we are marginalised, and wait to continue reaping the benefits...
I do not blame them per se; as a matter of fact, I think that it is quite smart of them; while we worry about- still- being with Whites, and waiting for Whites to love us; others huddle, support each other... pull each other up. (i.e. Asians, come into our neighborhoods, open up stores-- we are the biggest patrons in this whole **** country-- give it 800 billion Black Bucks A Year-- then they supply low interest or no interest loans to each other to buy up the businesses, in our communities... maybe they will hire you for $5.00/hr-- it ain't likely)
While whenever we can rub two nickels together we run away from each other, while others huddle.... make their own neighborhoods... then communities, etc... and while like some of us; some of them too, run out to live in Whiteville.... go out to Whiteville, drive around... even in Whiteville's with a fairly nice sized presence of "Others"; Black Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Africans, Carribeans, etc.... now, look around at the businesses owned there...who are they? All Whites... they are not having it; and not once did they fight about it; no, the "public" never hears a peep--- but they fight and they fight very constructively- THEY DO NOT AND WILL NOT PATRONIZE THE BUSINESSES OF OTHERS IN "THEIR" NEIGHBORHOODS.... soon, the " other" closes down, ... if they ever had the guts to try it anyway--- and guess where they take their business-- not Their Families-- just their business?
Hmnnn Hmnnn--- and guess who lives in the projects, walking in and outta that store day in and out, with flip-flops on, hanging in front of the stores w/ 40's while the owners don't give a ****, while the schools deteriorate... and always crying, "They took something from me?"; while they sit in Whiteville, searching out love and acceptance, and getting it in the easiest, most vile way possible..."Love me Mr./Mrs. White, I hate'em too..."
And if Whiteville's distaste for that which is not them, cannot be overridden by the hate they willing spit at US--- we get mad at the Whiteville residents, we hollering-- "You Racist, You Bigot!"
We are ready to pick up signs, march... for them!
No one can do anything to you that you do not allow them to... why can't we exercise some restraint? Why can't we say, my leverage is inside of me. for me and my people first...
No PanAfrica; it is not that we don't know... it is that we are afraid to fight and love each other--- Constructively of course.
