PREJUDICE
Irrational dislike of somebody/Disadvantage or harm

What does it mean to have a dislike for someone that you do not even know or even try to get to know? Is there a rule stating that you have to know one in order to hate him or show dislike for him? I would like to think that is not the case, but history has shown us a different side of this. There has been a lot done to us as a race and there has been other races that have endured the same treatment. Now what is not really talked about is that how the race has endured some of the same things that we have endured as a people, but his is not widely talked about like the way that blacks have been done. Why is this and why not expose the white race as well. For the life of me I cannot figure out why that the black race has been hated on and picked on so much. We as a people that was strong and had power beyond recognition but at the same time we have been weak and vurnable. Why is it that we do not stand up to the masses like our ancestors did, why do we not want to go and bring about change to our culture and our dreams of the ones that was before us. Martin Luther King had a dream that we will all one day live in a place to where we will not be judged or belittled like we are being now. I know that his dream was partially a reality, but we still have a long way to go and the way that this world is now for us as black people, we are not even over the hump yet. So the question still remains, why do we not stand up and fight till the finish and till the blood comes. We are a people that has had a history of fighting battles winning battles just kicking ass and taking names but now as we think that we have progressed we have taken a back seat to a lot of things and wee should not take a back seat to nobody. We do not get along, we don’t talk to one another, we don’t try to help each other when we ought to, I mean we do not try to do a damn thing to uplift, all we do is down rut everybody. I really try not to make any sense of it anymore, because we have been doomed from the day it all started. I do not want to say that my people are just, well I don’t know. The slave masters did a damn good job on us and we have been riddled with pain and suffering for so long till we do not know right from wrong. We have been led to think that we have had all that is right for us and we have not even known the truth about our past and our history. The books that are in schools have even been altered to not tell the truth of our culture, the teachers have been taught not to teach black history in schools; why? Well this is all the plot in trying to keep the truth from getting out and the truth will be set free one day and then when that day comes it will not even matter. But you know what really hurts me the most about Americans and the other races in this world, we are the only race that is copied, we are the only race that has others wanting to be like us and dress like us and sing like us and walk like us and just to have what we have, but yet they hate us. I promise you that if you were to take a poll and find out who most is admired about you will find that all the people would say that all the people they like are black. The movie ‘Do The Right Thing’ was’ a mere kick in the ass for the masses of people to wake up and see what the truth is about being prejudice and dislike. That whole movie was about black, white, Latino, Asian, and West Indies, it taught us a lesson about living together and trying to get along. Oh yeah I forgot about the Italians. Anyway there was a part in the movie where Pookie would go and ask Veto or something like that to come and talk to me for a minute. The question was asked by Pookie who was your favorite ball player, your favorite actor, your favorite singer. Now all those that he gave answer to were all black and what Pookie told him was that you all know what they say about dark Italians, ya’lls hair is as kinky as ours. But the moral to this was that how can you say that all your favs are black but yet you hate niggers. That does not make any sense at all. I really do not see the logic behind all this thing about others trying to be like us but at the same time they hate us and they show dislike for us. Do you think that they are trying to take what we have and turn it to their own, if this is the case then they have truly been mistaken and like Martin Payne says someone done told you wrong. So all that I have to say about this is that if you do not like us then stop trying to be like us and stop trying to take what we have and think that you can turn it into something different, cause I will tell you this and I mean this from the bottom of my heart. We are yet still a threat to this world this society, we are the most feared people on this earth that God has made and we still be that until the day the earth stands still. We may not get along with each other, but we are still a powerful people and we will stand strong if one of our own falls. So put that in your pipe and smoke on that. Peace………..
