Where was the disconnect from the days when our ancestors fought for our civil rights, fought against hate groups killing off our race, fought for justice and equal opportunities TO we now becoming our own worst enemy and killing ourselves, to thinking that because we have a black president he somehow owes you something, to not taking advantage of the opportunities in front of us but blaming others for our shortcomings, to women exposing yourselves on public sites just to get a minute of attention, to having kids with no plans to give them a positive future....what's going on? Have we really forgot where we came from and are we ok with what is becoming of us? If we're talking about bringing troops home from outside countries but fighting a war when they come home...we talk about power to the people but putting the power in a gun or bullets versus power in your brain to make better decisions...what's going on? What is becoming of us to live in an environment where our children have a 6 month life span...what are we turning into when we can't encourage or uplift one another instead we ridicule and place judgement on those that are different than us or on a different path than us....what does it mean when we call each other names that we fight so hard for others not to call us, what is going on in this world where being a single black woman with high scholastic accomplishments is less likely to be married than any other race based on statistics and articles written on how men of our own race and outside of or race think of us as less desirable than a woman of another race...I mean do we think about these things? Do we think about how our families are being effected by the senseless killings of babies and children...not counting out men and women is general? What are we going to do? What is our plan of action? How can we change the hands of time and redirect it to the path that was laid before us, when caring for one another and looking out for each other was what we did...but now we're faced with this don't "snitch" rule on people that terrorize our neighborhoods....yet we can stereotype a person on a plane and inform a flight attendant of our discomfort if someone looked like what our government portrays as a terrorist. I mean really? Don't get me wrong, I realize that our entire race is not like all that I have mentioned, but in some cases this is the reality of it all....but at the end of the day...it affects us all, even those that are not with our race...seriously though...what the hell is going on?
