Black Community Confinement - being different can be a one way ticket to alienation (188 hits)

Have you ever done anything that was considered “white” and been thoroughly scrutinized by people in the black community? Do you know of anyone that abandoned a dream, because it did not fit the black community profile?

I believe “black community confinement” is an intangible limiter, which adversely affects the future of the black community.

Questions for you: What effect has “black community confinement” had on the poorest percentages of black community? What about the wealthiest 25% and finally how does it affect the future?

Let's take a look at this question from a different angle. If a Black person whose has lived in interracial neighorhoods decided to moved back into an all Black neighorhood, would White people feel rejected?

Hello Derek,

Let me explain some things to you that you do not have the intelligence to see for yourself.

Derek every race of people God created was created to be free. In other words, it is inborn in a people to be free. In all the blogs that you read on this site, could you not see that my people are crying out to be free? Blacks know that Whites have them subjugated and suppressed. Blacks are not complaining on Chinese-Americans or Japanese-Americans. Blacks are crying out to be free from White Americans.

How much fooling could you do to Black people, even though Blacks were never fooled from the very beginning. Blacks always knew they were in a situation that only God could help us. So, we were never ever fooled. Blacks had no choice but to do everything and become anything that White people wanted or imposed upon us because we had not the wherewithal to help ourselves. However, God is helping us now.

Derek, everything that I say to you is going to happen.

Now, Blacks have tried education. Blacks have tried protesting. However, Blacks are still crying out to be free. In addition, the stupid stuff that you suggest that Blacks ought to raise their children as White parents; did you notice how quickly BIA members rejected your stupidity? Blacks are crying out to be sovereign or have complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders. Do you not have enough intelligence to see this for yourself?

Blacks do not realize yet what it is they really want and need, but instinctively and inborn as I said before their deep down conscious and psychology tells them that they have to be free.

Now Derek, when a people wants to be free and don’t know how to free themselves then God will intervene through a prophet who will guide them to sovereignty or complete independence. As Black’s sovereignty becomes more pronounced not even the adversary, (White America) could stop it.

I am Black America’s first genuine prophet. Derek you are living in a time that God is active in America through me, not through Dr. King or Mr. Frederick Douglass since our time has not come yet.

Anyway, what I wanted to ask you was this, how do you see White people since you suggested that Blacks should raise their children as White parents do? Do you see White people as superior since you did not suggest that Blacks should raise their children as Chinese parents do? So, just how do you see White people? Would you give me some insight on that please?

Tell me what you think.

Mr. Weston, here I go once again being the first to put my two cents in on your great blogs.(smile)

But, when I say and stand by I do not like nor respect the Rev. Jesse Jackson claimingto be a Black leader, but he is only a mass media talking head that is not only a disgrace to my culture but a threat to our race... I believe I am seen (by many) as much, much "less than" the greatest WHITE hater of our race!!!!

Some members in my family fall into that 25%, but as they still live n the HOOD,i HAVE NO REAL WAY TO ANSWER THIS...NO ,every thing they do to earn their money they pay taxes on it(smile)

How may of us have not in our own mind asked ourselves EXACTLY WHAT THIS QUESTION MEANS,when we do things like:

Accept Hillary clinton's going into a Black church, but not Obama being in one and only because we learned this from a nonblack rporter therefore we began our taking sides by what that nonblack reporter is sAying....OR DO WE BELIEVE THAT A NONbLACK PERSON CAN HAVE THE SaME PESONAL EXPERIENCES WHEN IT COMES to US????????

ANOTHER EXAmPLE IS BOTH mINISTERS kING AND WRiGHT ARE BLACK LIBERaTION MINISTeRS AND THE cLINTONS ATTENDED A CHURCH WHILE IN THE WHITE HOUSE ON A REGULAR BASIS of A BLACK LIBERATION MINISTER WHO WENT TO THE SAME THEOLOGY CLLEgE AS wRIGHT AND AT THE SAME TIMES AND THE REST COMMON SENSE SOULD BE ABLE TO FINISH WHY WE TEND TO SEE THESE TWO AS ONE IS BAD AND ONE IS GOD...HOW MANY OF US HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN in THE CHURCH OF EITHER????

NOW WHAT WAS THAT QUESTION OF ThIS BLOG'S THEME??????? WAKE UP....(smile)
