Divided We Are Falling

How can we as black people come together when we separate ourselves...... by the shades of our skin (red bone/high yellow/sexy chocolate) and we discriminate against the opposite sex (if they are too light/too dark for our preference) not too mention the stereotypes we make up ( light skinned females are stuck-up) & sayings (the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice) we just down each other to make ourselves feel better.

Not to mention: the good/nappy hair, acting white/ghetto, paper bag test just to name a few !!!

Personally I think it all happened during slavery when our ancestors were either inside/outside workers. Obviously working outside they were darker and stronger whereas working on the inside they were lighter and had access to more information. Instead of uniting and using their physical and intellectual strengths to overcome, they let it become a separation barrier.

United we stand~ Divided we fall........United we have never stood so divided we are falling......

Divide & Conquer.........We divide ourselves which makes it easy for anyone to conquer.

Bobby Bobby Bobby..... Brown, that is

Many people were upset when Bobby Brown almost caused a scene at the funeral of Whitney Houston, as he left early. Even more people were outraged when he attempted to sell a "Tell-All" book soon after her death.

A few people don't blame Bobby Brown for his erratic behavior because he was diagnosed with ADHD and being bipolar. So they excuse him from his legal problems, substance abuse, violent attitude, drunken driving issues and parenting problems.

There's no doubt that Bobby Brown is rude, disrespectful and has even been aggressive at times. However, he is real. What you see is what you get. He's never professed to be anything other than what he is.

Personally, I prefer his antics any day over the many people who have to keep reminding us and themselves that; they are allergic to fake people, only deal with real, don't play games, don't deal with lames, are one of the realest you will ever meet, on their grown man/woman status, that real recognizes real, they keep it 100 and the list goes on & on. At least with Bobby Brown there are no surprises & I know what I'm getting into instead of being told one thing but showed another.

Haters Everywhere I Go !!!

Lately I've noticed many people boasting & bragging about their haters hating....... But how do you know you have haters anyway? Is it because somebody doesn't like your style? Or you think you saw them roll their eyes at you? Or he said that she said they were talking about you? Have you ever thought that maybe just maybe they don't like you, your attitude, character, morals or the company you keep? Let's keep in mind that you must first have something/someone of value that they are unable to obtain in order for them to hate.

Personally I like to think I don't have haters... just people that don't know me or either don't understand me. If I do have haters, I'm unaware because I'm entirely too busy doing me, which is a full time job so it leaves me no time whatsoever to hate on others. More importantly what God has for me is for me & the same goes for you!!!

So hating on someone implies that you're ungrateful for what God has blessed you with. If after prayer & hard work you can't get what you want, remember everything isn't for everybody; so don't be your own blessing-blocker by "hating". There maybe something better in store for you.

Changing Faces

How can you vouch for someone else when you can't even vouch for yourself? How can you know someone if you don't even know yourself? It doesn't matter how long you've known someone; people change. It doesn't matter how well you know their character; things change.

You don't get paid for adding your 2¢ so please don't. If your word is your bond you are not only lying but you my friend are a liar when saying phrases like: "I know they didn't do it", "They would never do this", "They couldn't do this"....... How much do you really know if you weren't there?

People show you what they want you to see & tell you what they want you to know. Every time someone commits a crime against another, there is always a group of people proclaiming innocence on behalf of their loved one before the facts even come out. My advice shut your ignorant asses up. ~ That Is All Please & Thank You ~

Fact: She Lost Her Only Child

Fact: she lost her only child, at a time like this the proper thing to do is provide encouraging words, offer condolences, share memories and pray. It's disgusting and offensive when we profess how bad we're hurting, how we are in disbelief, the tears we've cried and how we just seen the child the other day because the fact is she (not us) lost her only child.

We can't even begin to actually understand her pain, even if we've lost our only child, because the fact is she (not us) lost her only child. The emotions, thoughts, and feelings we have pale in comparison with hers because the fact is she lost her only child. So for once let’s take ourselves and our feelings out of the equation and remember some things are better said/done privately (inbox messages, phone calls, text messages, emails, in person, etc.)

No need for speculations we weren’t there and it doesn't matter right now because we do know the fact that she (not us) lost her only child & she (not us) will be dealing with this from this day until her last day on this earth.
