In a foul mood tonight, Daughter. I'm so damned tired of Black folk -- who look like me -- shittin' on us for favor from those who look like none of us; ignoring our hundreds of years of struggle to at least bring us to a place where they can make a million or so dollars (even though, in the scheme of capitalist bullshit, someone who doesn't look like us, makes a gazillion dollars off them!). It just blows my mind that "divide and conquer" continues to work -- and work so well. I'm sad that our people, both here and in the diaspora, cannot see how we're being used STILL, for the benefit of those who are used to having their foot on our necks. "Imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery" -- it is theft without recognition or compensation for personal gain, pure and simple. And to top it all off -- these knuckleheads think they're better than we are though white folk will shit on and abuse their asses if given a ghost of a chance.
(Apologize for unloading a little, been working on a post kind of about this shit, but am too angry to finish it right now. Thanks for listening.).ππππ
