Black people today have such an apathy and complacent
nature, we've become so accepting of degrading images of us, even DEFENDING and
celebrating them, that it's impossible to start a revolution. Black people are too busy rationalizing their
dysfunction to have a revolution.
Revolution for what? No one wants
anything to change! There's no doubt in
my mind that we've de-evolved as a people since the days of the civil rights
movement. There is no more thirst for
knowledge; there is no commitment to integrity.
People
don't even think for themselves any more.
I can't tell you how many times that I hear people say, "Oh nooooo,
violent movies and video games aren't bad for you, I watch them all the time
and nothing's wrong with me," when every study that's been done on the
effect of viewing violent images has proven that it desensitizes people to
violence. That's just one tiny example
of how people are steeped in their ignorance and not willing to see past their
dysfunction. There are too many to count
and there isn't anyone who is willing to challenge the status quo and speak out
about the things that are detrimental to us because too many people love their
dysfunction. Nobody except me, that is.
Want
to know what's revolutionary thinking?
Black
women straightening their hair is physically and psychologically damaging.
Black
men are raised to be emotionally immature.
The
psychological effects of slavery are so long lasting and pervasive they haven't
even begun to be examined.
Homosexuality
is natural and normal and homophobia is pathological and disturbed
Christianity
is in no way related to the study and pursuit of the Creator and it is damaging
for people of African descent to hold on to those paralyzing beliefs.
I
can back up all of my assertions with facts but the majority of people don't
want to hear anything about , truth, facts, or revolution. They want to have a march and say, "Stop
discrimination now," for a few days after a white person says something
racist. We don't even have a clear
picture of what discrimination and racism is, and how it affects us. The exact same people that want a revolution
aren't even willing to put the blame on white people for our conditions. You can't have a revolution if you are afraid
to place accountability on the culprits of generations of abuse without falling
all over yourself to apologize for speaking up for yourself. You can't have a revolution if the only thing
you know about Dr. King is "I have a dream."
You
want a revolution? I got a revolution
for you but no one is going to join the revolution because it goes against the
current dementia that is accepted as norm.
The days of sit ins and marches is over.
Now is the time for real revolution.
