We should be proud because our races have been victim of psychological welfare for centuries, and yet we are still standing. Every year you see more black people thriving to achieve more, getting higher education and doing more and more for their fellow brothers. We are physically stronger and more apt to withstand hardship. We are respectful by nature, being able to live with the arth and not at it expense. Do not believe that the brainwashed black people that you see most days is our true nature, because it is not. The media is able to brainwash the caucasians, by making them believe that consuming will bring them happiness while the same media brainwashes our youth to act in ways that is below us. You are what is wrong with our race. You shouldn't look down on people unless you are trying to uplift them. Have a black child, and raise it in a way that will make us all proud.

You seem to forget that the only reason blacks are in America is because they were brought in to be slaves. For generations, whites were in power in this country, and they obvioulsy have a head start. When you put things into context, you will realize why it is harder for a black man to make it then it is for his fellow white men. Do not look around you and forget our past...it has ripple effects and our history and its impact will always be seen. So, the easiest way for us to suceed is through the entertainment industry, why do you think is that? Could it be because it is the least threatening way for them? It does not negate the fact that we use our physical attributes and our hardship to excel in sports and create art with meaning. Our art is so powerful that it even touches to souls of people that do not even share in our struggles. You keep talking about what have WE done, but what have YOU done? I know that my parents came from nothing and struggled to get out of the ghetto into the suburbs where I would be sheltered from the negativity of people like you. But as I grew up, I got out of my bubble, met a lot of people from different background and ended up marrying a man who also never had much. Now he has his degree, is successful and we are helping others around us to see how they can achieve more, if only they believed they could. And we are striving to give our children an even better life. All of this started with two black people that worked together to attain an unselfish goal. If we could all focus on helping each other, who knows where we will be in the next generations. Is watering down our race the only solutin in your mind??

Child I don't know what else to tell you. You asked a question and people answered with their opinions. We do dominate in sports and entertainment. It was a way for people to get out of poverty. But thats a small part of what we do. In my day it was positive to do those things, In your day it sucks because your generation are the ones acting like minstrels look at the rappers and singers the music don't mean shit, women dress like hoes and rappers and sports figures are going to jail left and right and getting caught up in multiple child support issues, guess in your day there isn't shit to be proud of, cause folks don't know how to keep shit private in their public life, I'm sorry I didn't create that for you. And as far as asking the question about being proud to be black I guess I was thinking of MY life and how my my mother and father instilled in me that there's more to life than laying up and having kids, that you have the right to an education, to travel, to enjoy your life, because Dr martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and others before them gave their lives for you to do so.So while you tell us to come up with answers to your question and ask us to omit them is ridiculous because if it weren't for them you and I may not be alive today. I was raised with love, pride of self as being a resilient, rhythmic, loving, accepting, free, special, one of a kind person. And i guess if accepting myself includes my big old ass too then so be it. im sorry your family didnt instill self pride and show you how great it is not only to be black, and free but to be alive, so many never made off the slave ships but 400 years later we overcame so much,they wanted us dead but we are still here, still alive and still being a pain in the white mans ass, by going to school reading, learning, becoming president of the united states (whether you lime him or not) hell just breathing. if you cant find hope in just being alive and seeing your family lineage made it and that your family is stronger than you give them credit for. I really don't know what to tell you. its more of a feeling and what was passed on in my family that gives me pride through their stories and actions. I feel for you. So while you play games with your white girl I hope your not bad mouthing us sistas to her remember her grandfather, great grandfather before him may have owned slaves and she's living off the benefits of white supremacy and probably running back and telling them everything your saying which would put you on the same level as the sistas you clowned about being good in front of massa.

Sweetheart, I said it once and AI'll reiterate-if YOU find that no matter where YOU go, you seem to meet these degenerate black women-you can't deny that the common denominator is YOU! Babe. So, let's really get it-what is it about YOU that you seem to attract or at the very least you find your self in the midst of the rachet chic no matter wher you go? LOL

That's good the girls are standing up to the cheating cause when I was younger the brothas used to say out of their own mouths they date white girls and other races because they could get over on them. I know black women get with no good ass dudes and I know sistas will mess over a good dude and that would piss me off cause he could have dated my sister or a single friend of mine. I feel so bad to hear about brothas going through this, I have a brother myself and we talk about the types of women where he lives and they are the SAME as the ones you're talking about. I can't even say its people ages and what stage they are in life when you have folks like Evelyn and Jackie on BBW messing it up for the older women. I am in no way fooling myself about how my sistas act and I surely can't defend that behavior, my friends and female family members don't act like that and it's too bad it's not popular in the media these days to promote being a positive and healthy black woman. Too bad not enough women are willing to know their worth and are willing to let a man be a man but also let their standards be known without emasculating him. I haven't always made the best decisions either but my dad kicked knowledge to me about how men are and I just didn't get serious about relationships. Hell I knew you dudes just want to kick it, sex, no attachment and no babies. I wanted the same thing. I wasn't trying to get married or be a baby momma, I just wanted to kick it. I didn't get serious about relationships till I met my husband. My husband and I can be ourselves around each other and I so wish that more black folks could really relax and be themselves and just enjoy life period.
