(34,648 posts)You'd think by this time in history they'd have tried to educate THEMSELVES. See, I was born eating government cheese living with roaches, fifteen of us in a two bedroom. If they cannot do just as well or better then a black woman born way way way on the poorside of the tracks, what the fuck can I try to teach them that they will learn?
You musta missed the part where they think my black ass is the reason they caint find no jobs. And I am. Because I will get up earlier, work harder, go to school and raise my kids while working a shitty job, just for a chance at the american dream. I will move. I will pack my shit and go, for opportunity, fuck my comfort zone.
The situation is this. They are used to opportunity knocking at the door. Us black folks are used to chasing it down and grabbing on for dear life. They wont move to the big city for work. MILLIONS of blacks migrated to the cities for WORK. We don't expect shit to come to us. They needto stop exoecting too. It aint coming. Stop coddling them or coddle my black ass too. But never expect me to empathize with folks that blame me for their troubles, just because I'm black. It's fucked to to expect that of me but never expect jack shit from them. I see that the dems are about to take the black vote for granted. Bad idea. But do what ya gotta do.
