My People

now i don't consider myself as a self-righteous judgemental person but i have to say this today. as i am out in the public i'm beginning to see something i don't want to see from black people. i'm beginning to see us separating ourselves from each other more and more. and it's showing in a way that says we are not proud to be black. like it's a badge one doesn't want to flaunt. now one might hear that and say "well what's so grand about being black and proud?" to that i must say "what's not?" i mean don't let america pimp you out of a good life to the point to where you feel you can't be the beautiful black being that you are. and just maybe you feel the way you do because there are not enough images that keep us wanting to throw up that black fist to each other at all times and throughout all circumstances. for those of you that have not being representin' in the way black people hold down their swagger wake up from the long bad dream that is disguised as integration. integration does not mean we are equal. it does means that we have to keep our goods for ourselves because if we don't our "new found friends" will think what we have made is for them as well. and the flip side is not so giving. remember that when you are out in the world. $$$dollar, dollar bill, ya'll -Janus
