What's The Point, Pt. 2

This is a continuation of my previous topic. I closed out with Isaiah 5:20, which states: Doom to you

who call evil good
and good evil,
Who put darkness in place of light
and light in place of darkness,
Who substitute bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!

What that scripture is saying is that good would be called bad, and bad be called good. The times we are living in are proof positive of that. Stand up for what you believe in, when status quo says you should stay on hush status or be shamed. Negativity is too prevalent in order to enjoy the beauty. Beauty cannot co-exist with ugly. We cannot enjoy or focus on the positive as long as we continue perpetuating foolery. Those who stand up for ratchetness use deflective tactics to get rationed folk to stop addressing the issues, and I will not be moved. In fact, it makes me bolder to know I'm shaking things up. If other people want to be cowards, let them. We cannot go back to allowing those destructive blacks to perpetuate what they do more comfortably. Otherwise, things will only get dramatically worse. That would be similar to giving up on positivity and everything good completely. Let those that feel the sting of being shamed in the spotlight, squirm and holler. God is waking people up, and those people should not be comfortable in a messed up, backwards, sinful society. The more outspoken will lead the way. Those people that stand against the ones that are telling the truth, should be made to feel as uncomfortable as possible. They need to realize that this ridiculousness must not continue. You have Facebook pages like The Beauty Of Black Relationships that catch major hell for telling it like it is regarding the dismal state of the black community. The delivery is harsh, but that's what it's going to take to wake the black community up. Time out for powdering behinds.



What's The Point?

♥Do you really believe that we should just start focusing on the positives of Black People & just start leaving the fools & bums & lowlifes to their own devices? Because I have seen criticism of the pages like "The Beauty of Black Relationships" & even on MY page many people are getting upset because they feel like people act like Black people are the "Only race with issues" which we KNOW that is not the case but why can't the issues of black people be spoken without hypersensitive folk thinking we are being "Uncle Toms, Uncle Ruckuses, House Niggers, Self Haters, Racists" etc..Sometimes I feel like "What's the point?" Because that type of thing seems to be more common now than it has EVER been & it's like most of our people are comfortable with living a life of foolery...They don't want to believe they have issues, they are ignorant to their own problems & refuse to realize it..So why even bother?♥

 

My View: This is a spinoff of yesterday's topic. Nonetheless, I've wondered this myself; What's The Point? What's the point of taking a stand for righteousness and people don't want to hear it? There's an unspoken rule you are not to broadcast black folks' issues. Hypersensitive people are catching feelings thinking sensible blacks are Uncle Toms, Sambos, House Niggers, etc. It seems many people are comfortable in foolery. Why would they be? They're used to it, they think nothing of carrying on like the mess isn't wrong. They deny their issues, they are ignorant to their own problems & refuse to realize it, So why bother? There's a saying that rings true: If you reach one person, you've done your job. That's true for a lot of mentors and others who work with at-risk youth or inner-city kids. You're not going to reach everyone, but if you reach one person, that's one less person going down the wrong path. The ones who want to do right, must be encouraged; those who don't, get their just desserts. I'm quick to give praise where it's due, but sometimes we (myself included) have to be shaken, rattled and rolled into action. Anyone who wants to do better, will improve regardless of how the message is relayed. Sometimes, the message needs to be raw & uncut in order to get people's attention, since that's all most people understand anyway. Get down on their level. The Bible does mention the good would become bad, and bad become good. You get more praise acting a fool, than doing right.
