Racism Is Dead

Or it was until niggas started bringing up old shit…

The tipping point was two of Newt Gingrich’s comments. It wasn’t exactly him but the reaction to him. First he suggested children be allowed to work in high school. Then he supported the killed law in Florida that would drug test welfare recipients.

A lady asked me how I could not see the racism in those statements. My answer was – I chose not to. I believe in what Martin Luther King Jr. taught. I believe in the spirit of Gandhi’s message. I love Africa. I love America. I love Blacks. I love myself. I do not like African/Black Americans. We are so limiting to ourselves.

           

Newt called our president the “Welfare President”. Our tunnel vision is so narrow. Take a look around. Democrats support welfare. The last time the economy was this bad was when welfare began. The timing is ideal for a shift in “welfare as we know it” It’s called Between The Lines, we might actually consider doing that. Go deeper until you get inside yourself.

I know there’s no money in that, but trust me, it’s worth it. Why do we want to continue being common?

Racism! It’s easy. You can give a passionate monologue and include a big word or two and there you have it, an intellectual argument for lack. Because it’s something we can sound smart about and because many writers get paid to promote it, we are excused from responsibility.

The truth is we’ve brainwashed ourselves. We put ourselves in the maze (rat-race). We settled for less than our potential. Hey Black Adult Do you know you can be what you want to be if you try to be what you can be? Do you? So why aren’t you? Racism?

            We have the ability to achieve whatever it is within our vision to achieve. There is no limit to what we can do. The problem is not racism. It’s our vision. We are still fighting for rights we already have instead of using them to move forward. We want to march when it’s time to build. We want someone to tell us what to do. We’ve already been told.
            “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” And because of Dr. King, I can say without a doubt or fear of reprisal that his children are all assholes, not because they’re black but because they are assholes. That’s it.

            That, is The Dream! This world we live in where NO ONE can mention race is a mockery. You better not say Black, nappy, dark, urban, thug, nigg (don’t even form your lips to say ANY word beginning with the letter ‘n’ not nothing!), retard, welfare, Trayvonn Martin (his only mention), OJ, The Boondocks… I’m tired of things we can’t say. You better not get upset at a minority… You think Black people got lynched? Try saying the latest gang banger/drug dealer killed was anything short of an altar boy. Try it!

            Time for some truth. Racism is dead. Racist people are not. There will always be racist people. They will always say racist things. Don’t take it personal. The destruction of the Black race was the furthest thing from the mind of the racist of the hour. The most likely thought was frustration. Consider the source AND turn YOUR racism off. That racist is probably more concerned with his/her house note, lack of education, job pressure, losing a ratings war to Howard Stern, the democrat who is currently the leader of the free world, failures, fears and scarcity. Race/Nationality/Sexuality is the easiest excuse on both sides.

Racism is dead for me because I can take an insult. Learn how to handle insult and racism will die for you too! That guy called you a stupid nigger, not because you’re Black, but because you’re stupid. Quit being stupid! I’m not marching for your dumb ass.  Nothing personal, I just know how to solve problems. I can take a stand from my easy chair.

If you don’t want to listen to me, maybe you’ll listen to an OG.

“To try to fight a pathology that is incapable of being resolved is a waste of time. You can’t spend your time worrying about a philosophy…It’s really a philosophical myth…It’s not a reality. It becomes a reality when you start believing in it and bringing it into fruition your life. In order to battle racism is not to ignore it per say, but to evolve in a higher form which makes all of that obsolete. You rise above it.“- Tookie Williams interview with Tony Robbins
