The Weapons.

I learned something today , and based off what I learned I feel the need to address the other side of my previous post. I'll divulge on what I mean by that in a second, I promise. Right now, I need to make sure that everyone who bothers to read  this understands this one very important thing. Everything I wrote yesterday, I meant wholeheartedly. My mindset, my emotions,  my way of life is completely infused and built-in the premise of being a mentally and socially aware artist blessed enough to be cognizant within myself. In hand, with being grounded and steadfast  in the black concious agenda and advocating for the rights of what society considers to be the "lesser than" and "abnormal". Always have been, always will be. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I can expand on what my lesson of the day is. Today I learned, there is a such thing as being TOO righteous. Now before anyone goes and bites my head off, let me elaborate. Yesterday I wrote about how there's a New Age Civil Rights Movement upon us. And there is. However, I think people who claim to be kindred spirits to me, like minded, "for the cause" are using the aforementioned devastation to condone, spread and follow their own deluded purposes. Listen people, you cannot solve racial dysfunction based off hatred and fear with MORE hatred and fear. That kind of defeats the purpose. You can not say I hate the media because of the way it portrays black people but then turn around in the SAME SENTENCE and use it to justify an equally racist or stereotypical jargin about white people. We all know media is not objective, THAT is white privilege. THAT BEING SAID  siding with the media to make a  lopsided, hole-filled, truth absent point about another race that is not your own is not okay. EVER.  WE don't like it when it's done to us, why return the favor? We are too grand a people and too valuable a generation to sink to the levels of Supremacy. WE are supposed to rise above all that evil.  I'm going to need everyone to get it together. You do not put out a fire with more fire. Being overtly biased, and half baked with a side of petty racist doesn't make you 'about'or 'down for' anything. Wise up, people! Knowledge, Respect and Overall Awareness are the most pivitol things in a black person's arsenal right now. Do better.
