ah HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!! OH.. here it comes!!! Bend over!!!!
You stupid fuck.. I went to a mostly black HS (Meade Senior in Fort Meade, MD) and I work LP in the worst city stores of Baltimore (Park Hts, Bel Air and Erdman Ave, Penn and North Ave, etc). Making change my ass... I catch these junkies every day.
Complete cop out.. The fact that you believe this crap just reinforces any lack of responsibility these people take. Your expectations are far too low. People like you are the reason these people are never forced to improve.
Whites are forced to hide such celebrations under the guise of a nationalist heritage. Not only that, but blacks are often found among the festivities and are not ostracised for being in attendance. That is a somewhat better reception than if someone like me were to be involved in one of their celebrations. You're not really seeing clearly.
have
Race vs. Nationalist heritage again... are you too stupid to see the difference? I don't see blacks getting in line as "Kenyan" or "Liberian" etc.
Shot by each other .. or being imprisoned for shooting each other... lol. Jeezus, you must be delusional to not see this. Man, this is EXACTLY why I was laughing and crying when I was watching it.
Wow... you're a real ideologue aren't you? Why don't you come hang out at the corner of West Franklin and Evergreen in SW Baltimore and watch all your theories and rhetoric crumble like the arguments I just shot down.
LOL... thank you for that. I needed a good laugh.
Oh, everybody know that the town that feeds Ft. Meade HS are full of wanna be hardcore black kids, and enslave minded people. Damn, your ass should gone to Broadneck like me, maybe you would have learned some reading comprehension. And I wet to Morgan State University, student taught at Lake Clifton High School, and Annapolis Middle. And if you knew what my job is now...people like you asks me what to charge the fools that you catch.
I always had a positive mind, and a mind set to give back to a community, and on the way have inspired young minds to reach for high goals and success.
Make no mistake, I believe in taking personal responsibility for one's actions and for one's community. By asking how can one affect their own communities, your asking each person to take a look at themselves and fix that problem, and by doing that they are helping there own community as well.
Think of it like this. Have you ever been at a stop light and look at the median and seen all the cigarette butts? Well, if all those people had just decided to not throw their butts out, then the mess would not be there. It takes one person each time to make a conscious decision to throw one butt out, and over time they amassed. Now think of it in a positive way. What Obama and his church are trying to do is have a positive effect on theri community, and they are. I made a positive effect in my community when I was part of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. when I was in high school. I also ask the principale at Annapolis Middle if I could do a club for at risk males, in which a a club started up for both girls and boys.
All people need to do is have the balls to stand up and make a change, and it can be little. For example, just in those neighborhood that you stated, what if one lady decide to have her front lawn or stoop tidy up, with flowers and such, and people started admiring it, then she talks to the lady next door, then the next, and then the next. The next then you know you have a who row, if not a whole block looking nice. And this has happened.
Fact of the matter is, Black America is like the Miner's Canary, what happens to the black community, will happen to America. You should know that by now.
I am not a idealist, but a a realist, with ideas, my mind firmly knows what the reality of the world and of the black community is, it's just as i said, "Definition", which is what MLK didn't see.
If your ignorant mind doesn't know, that most black Americans are of mixed race and of mixed ethnic groups. Unless one is right off the plane, we can't say "Nigerian" or "Liberian". Race vs. Nationalist heritage, no it is ethnic pride, because they people will say I'm Italian-American or Irish American, still they are American, and damn proud of it. Being proud of the fact your American or French or what ever is Nationalism. Being proud that you are French American and involved in a French American activities, or celebrating one's "French-ness", while in a America is ethnic pride. Learn the difference...but of course it's that Ft Meade upbringing in you. Webster's Dictionary states that Nationalism is "1. Concern for or the attachment to a particular nation's interests or culture."
By one saying, that they are French American, the "French" denotes the ethnic background, and the "American" denotes the National. So when a black American is celebrating their culture, they are celebrating a part of American culture that denotes their ethnic background. And if you know, African American culture is a hybrid culture of European (British) and African.
I'm glad you have a laugh, the ignorant tend to not know what to make of a situation, so instead of figuring out what to do , they laugh at those who are .
