We will have to respectfully agree to disagree.
First I don't hate myself. Second, white folk don't have nothing to do with why women get relaxers. That is just about the same thing as saying that ALL white people who go to a tanning salon want to be black. I want to be looked at as a beautiful black woman I would'nt have it any other way.
What is wrong with his video? If he felt so content that what he is saying is right than why is he hiding on you tube? He talks MalcomX but MalcomX spoke to the people face to face. The things that he did not like about his community(MalcomX), he "went" to those communities and not bashed his own people to get their shyt together, but gave them the knowledge,strength and encouragement to do it. What is wrong with his speech is that he apparently is predisposed to that one boxed in community that he lives in and hasn't been to all black communities, churches, cities, organizations etc..so he doesnt have the credentials to be categorizing a group as a whole, based on their gender and color. Isn't that his contradiction? In one sentence he's preaching black, in others he is speaking against it? To use the bible, taking the Lord's name in vain is what is repulsive. This is not what Jesus had in mind, and he is definately not qualified to step up to the plate until he practices what he preaches.
Yes, he has the freedom to voice his opinion but, if this is the case, black women can relax their hair, work, run for president, become billionaires, wear braids, buy weaves, besides portraying the black woman should cook, clean, or settle with letting someone else choose for them based on propaganda. Futher demonstrating that some "black men have nothing better to do than to sit on their lazy asses in they mama house and talk about everybody else.
What has he done for his community if it is that bad?
Is in in the church preaching the community the right way? No. Is he in a school, teaching the right way. Is he going house-to-house helping people? No.
ignorance separates AA people and does nothing to help. Ignorance begats ignorance.
(OT)
For all he knows, maybe some black people are so broke that they can't afford to buy all the products they need to keep their hair up. Maybe they are so broke they don't have internet, and cable. They can't afford to buy their kids lunch for school everyday. Maybe the ghetto is so bad that the only food at the store is candy, chips, and the nearest supermarket with quality produce, fresh fruits and vegetables are is 20 miles away in the rich neighborhood. Maybe because black men in the past helped their women. Maybe mommie has a relaxer because she has six kids to raise by herself and don't have much time to herself because the baby daddy cannot be found because he is out somewhere laying up with another woman. In his case a white woman(no offense to the bright skinned sistas in the house). Maybe because the way to freedom is live and let live....Please stop me Jesus...
In Responses to his posts, white folk even talking about how ignorant he sounds so there is something wrong with what he is saying and that is lack of quality and class.
Im the quiet type so I am going to shut up now.
I don't see anything wrong with his video. He is being real on the self hatred in the black community and the acceptance that we are seeking with relaxing our hair from white people that we ill never gain from the so called white race. Weither you are relaxed or natural you are still looked at as black from other so called races and wil still face prejudice/racism either relaxed or natural.
