I know I’m Black, so why are you reminding me

I think most of us hope that “Black People” would get over the insecurities of the fact that we are black .

My personality, my love for life and the love for myself blinds me of the fact that I am of African race. By O’Jay Maria Harris

When are we going to let it go?

Just let it go!

• Racism
• Black History
• Black Rappers
• Black Single Parents

Isn’t it a fact that white people are faced with the same struggles?

Isn’t it a fact that we party as hard as a white rock band?

Half of blacks and whites roots trace back in connection with each other.

There are so many other important issues we need to look at, especially when our young people are at risk, which will pose a threat to our “Black Youths”. 
Please keep in mind that there are other racial groups being denied rights and benefits, so what is it that makes Black people so special when we speak about racism?

• Let’s educate them on AIDS & HIV
• Giving back to Society
• How Important Education is and what we can do to survive in this economy...

  • Know your rights/Educate yourself
  • Don’t be intimidated by others who think their better than you
  • Read material that would help you to empower yourself and make a difference

  I am not asking you or anyone to let go or forget where we came from, but we need to move forward and stop crying over split milk.

  We need to look at this with an open mind and ask ourselves questions relating back to slavery and how does it affect you as a person today? 

Let's admit and recognize the vast spread of technological and sophisticated advancement of the entire world civilization. There is no question that black people today are making a very positive name for themselves. With all the accomplishments, of which we can all be proud, “Black People” have come very, very far. But why is there still the focus that these accomplishments are being made by “our black people”? Why not just recognize John Black, as an individual, for his accomplishments or the difference he’s making in today’s world and the influence he has on our young people? Are we that insecure that we have to color the picture black?

Today we make our own decisions, and it’s not based on who our Ancestors were and if our neighbors are racist. We forgive, endure and move on. As individuals, Black, White or Chinese, we should want the best for ourselves, our children and our children’s children…

It’s our outlook on life that puts us in the position we are today. Society plays a role in our day to day lives, but it’s left up to us on where we want to go. Opportunities rain for us to be better people and we have choices to take full advantage or how I would like to put it, “run with it and shine” or not! -We can look at this in so many ways...

-Martin Luther King had a dream, and he just didn't sit on it.

-Oprah Winfrey, one woman who I highly respect because she works extremely hard and gives back. She is the most philanthropic African American of all time, and was once the world's only black billionaire. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world. (and its not because she is black that got this far).

and then came - Barack Obama, he acknowledges where we came from, but continues to fight for all and not just people of color.

Do you remember when the U.S. Senate approved the resolution apologizing for slavery?
Personally, I would have taken that as an insult. Why now? But then again I cant blame them. They are trying to tell us in a sarcastic yet diplomatic way that we are now "Liberated" from the day Barack Obama was sworn in as the first black President. 
There is just so many reasoning behind this:
-they voted for him as well 
-they are hoping now we will just be quiet about being black (bark less and swag more) it's for us to show them who's the bigger and better person and that's why I cant be bothered. I intend to be the best at what I do and pray for health and wisdom, life is to short...

BLACK YOUTH CULTURE and MATERIALISM?

CONTRAST BLACK YOUTH (HIP-HOP) WITH MATERIALISTIC THINGS

I think hip-hop has become more material over the years. This has distracted from many important issues. Yes hip-hop can be political and socially conscious but the materialism gets in the way. Many youth in the hip-hop culture are far more concerned with the pursuit of money than curing social ills. I believe this is due to the fact that the pursuit of material posessions has an immediate pay off for the individual whereas solving a social problem may not reward the individual directly anytime soon.
