BE ON ALERT

I'm growing to familiar with today's media and exploitation of black people and here goes another one. Especially in tv shows, commercials & movies I'm seeing this disgusting image of whites capitalizing on things that happen to us and turning it into comedy. Things that we as black ppl ourselves turn into comedy to help slice into the frustration and tension we have. I guess white ppl think if we can do that and find humor so can they. Don't you know that we are laughing on the outside to keep from cutting one of your cracker asses. OKAY I'M BACK, I JUS HAD A MOMENT THERE. Well you know what, no you can't....I am highly offended. Here is a perfect situation where we as black ppl "have to" turn our pain into some kind of joy TO deal with ALL THE SHIT WE GO THROUGH and here goes the white man FINDING A NEW WAY TO CAPITALIZE OFF THEIR OWN HATRED. I think that is crazy.

BLACK PPL WAKE UP
I feel humiliated and laughed at by this.
I feel that you are BOLDLY admitting what you do and saying "WHAT".
I feel you expect me to sit back and take it.
I feel you want me to accept it and laugh
I feel you want me to believe we are equal and you can go there
I feel you think I'm stupid and don't know you are laughing at me and not with me

I didn't feel as offend until I typed "laughing at rather then with me". I don't consider myself a militant woman. I have white friends...lol Anyway....Mr. White man, please don't take my pain and made a joke of it. It is not quite as funny when your oppressor makes the same jokes. Think about it, I wouldn't have to make a joke if you didn't do what cha' do. Be on Alert Brothers and Sisters nothing is our own, so be cautious of how you present yourself to those different then you. EVERYTIME, yes EVERYTIME. Personally I tend to always be more professional and articulate when I talking with ppl outside of my race that I'm not on social terms with and even with them I am dignified.

An example for the unbelievers
1. A commercial about a cell phone companies new plan
In the commercial a subordinate is talking to his boss and his boss say "I want to stick it to the man" and the subordinate replies with "you are the man" HA HA HELL, that's not funny

I am in a different state then when I wrote this Friday and I have some things to add. My feelings have not changed much but my ideas right now are a lil softer.

1. I was reading something about the Negative Comment Jay Leno made about trailer trash rather know as poor white individuals. How poor whites need to get it together and improve reading and writing skills and blacks don't make up the majority of the US illiteracy problem. It was suppose to be a rendition of what Bill Cosby said about black ppl. I really don't care and I don't think it will have the same impact because I doubt any lily white person would trade places with any black person regardless of their situation

2. On that same note I appreciate Bill Maher honesty about how Americans view African Americans, but again he would not walk in a black man's shoes for 1 nano second. So bringing up all the stereotypes and tainted differences does not change a thing.

3. Something more inspirational. I was reading the speech of a man who was suppose to speak at the Million More March and I was not only touched and left feeling hopeful, but inspired to do my part in passing it on. If an idea can be transpired to help influence my ppl I am definitely willing to share.
