The Mess I Don't Like

Greg Cross: One thing I cannot stand about my race, is the fact that no matter how screwed up we are, those with common sense & does not want to join the ignorant clan better not say nothing! The sad part is, that blacks are quick to ridicule other blacks for wanting to act like civilians calling them sellouts, Uncle Toms, wannabe whites, & so many other stupid mess to the point to where I want to tell those lames to SHUT UP! You want to continue acting like a slave, be my guest. But if you want to live like a civilian & have the lifestyle of a free man, then stop ridiculing blacks who want more for themselves.

Let me get this straight, civilized blacks aren't supposed to say nothing when they see the ignorant clan running amok? That's flaw. While I do believe that people have free will to do as they please, I also feel that the actions of a few dictate how the majority is viewed. It's not right, but that's what happens. Some blacks are quick to clown other blacks that want better for themselves, and won't go along with the pattern of self-destruction. I've heard it all before: Sell out, Uncle Tom, white, etc. The funny thing is, the sensible blacks that were ridiculed for doing good in school and staying out of trouble have the last laugh because THEY go on doing big things in life. They're enjoying life while the blacks who ridiculed them aren't about nothing. Many of those blacks are dropouts, in trouble with the law and complaining about not being able to find work because nobody will hire them. Newsflash Genius: If you did the work and stayed out of trouble, you could've joined the ranks of law-abiding, productive blacks but noooo...you wanted to rip & run the streets, tell education to go to hell and sass your parents and other elders. I shouldn't be surprised because Isaiah 5:20 states "Woe to those who call evil good & good evil." When you take a stand against foolery, you should expect opposition from those who want to keep ratchetness alive. When someone is used to getting their way, they can't handle another person standing up to them. It's best to check nonsense before it festers. When some blacks choose to engage in ignorant, buffoonish behavior, it makes the entire race look bad. There's a saying that I live by: One person can & will mess it up for everybody.
