Hey, man we counting on you brother!

I was coming out of the supermarket monday.

I gently patted this old man on the back of his shoulder because i saw him getting a cart for a young lady there.

I just said, "good job brother" trying to encourage people as i normally do.

After that the old man just said "thank you young brother."

Then he said the words that kind of shook me up for a minute.

He said, "Hey man, we counting on you brother!"

And when he said that he looked me right dead in my eyes and kind of held his chin up as if i was a soldier about to go off to war or something.

I just stared back for a few seconds knowing exactly what he implied.

See the black middle class in the country really dont give a shit about the black poor and homeless in america.

They dont talk about how we can develop power to protect ourselves from other groups who want to exploit us and use us.

They dont care, and it really hurts that they dont.

The dont care until they get layed off or until somebody close to them gets effected by the ills that we suffer from in the streets.

The black middle class is like no other animal on this earth.

They are weird indeed.

But they are what they have been trained to be by white propaganda.

Thankfully God gave me the ability to see through all of the fog that is pervasive in this society.

He blessed me with knowledge of self and it is my responsiblilty (and those like me) to be at the vanguad of making long lasting social, institutional, political and economic changes ion the black community.

We can do it.

But we cant depend on the majority of the black bousouisie to help.

I will take up the call and dedicate my life to the liberation of Afrikan people the world over.

We will win because God is on our side.

How is Barack Obama's presidency going to get me a decent paying job?

Have you been to a gas station or a supermarket lately?

Man prices have shot up higher than the highest high thing out there.

I do believe we are officially in a depression now but the government wants to keep it quiet.

I sat there on the 19th watching black people shed tears.

What a joke lol.

How is one man getting into office going to better your life?

Huh?

Do you really think this government is going to give us reparataions now that one of our own has been elected?

People say, "why dont you give him a chance?"

Ha!

Let me tell you something.

HOPE IS FOR SUCKERS!

Instead of hoping we need to start doing.

Do you wake up everyday hoping that you and your kids eat?

Can hope pay the gas and electric bill?

We need to throw hope in the trash receptacle.

We need to stop hoping that this racist/fascist government finally accepts us and we need to accept ourselves and love ourselves.

This is the only thing that will secure our survival as a people.

I dont know i think my problem is my excessively bleeding heart

Why are the most generous people on earth always the most underappreciated.


Look at our nation for example.


We criticize this nation and its leaders so much but if it wasnt for their policies we might not even be protected the way we are.


We criticize our partners for not being perfect but when they are away we miss them.


Thats because you dont appreciate what you take for granted.

And too often we take things for granted and are upset and disturbed whrn they all of a sudden dissapear.

Getting back to me now lol.

Throughout my adult life i havent been able to get on my feet because i always put the needs of others over myown.

Whether it was family or my ex, i've always looked out and worried about others before i did this for myself.

Dont know why.

I have a question for yall.

How do you become selfish lol?

Thats a selfish question but what do you think the problem is?

Is it wrong to look out for yourself before others?

If God Gave You The Ability To Get Rid of One of Your Flaws Which One Would It Be?

For me it would definately be my lack of focus.

I have so much to share with the world.

I am always bubbling with ideas on how to make things better for afrikan people but after ive come up with some great idea my focus will shift to something else that is less important.

If i had more focus and dedication to my goals i would change the world.

I would make this world a lot better for the poor unfortunate souls who are locked in the ghettos devoid of hope and who are heavily oppressed.

So what is the one flaw you wish you could get rid of.

Let me know out there.
