guilty by association
|
I don't think we care to know that being who we are is empowering. How does one categorize or place themselves in position in life in terms of being and livelihood. Some would rather not say because they feel the opposition coming from those who know who you are, but you reject it. It is almost similar to the prisoner's dilema, because if no one wants to be the man then both are guilty of the same crime. I find it interesting to see how many races of people are proud of who they are. They wear their "nations" flag, keep their culture and traditions, and are proud of their heritage. Then there are those who want to identify with people who are not their own. They live trying to do everything to disassociate themselves from their own groups of people. They are competitive against each other and cynical. They cast down and never interact with each other in a fruitful way. They cast negative words against each other and hate. When it comes to appearance it is out of touch to dress proper to those who may dress fashionable, and out touch by the people in the same group to dress fashionable and feel they should dress proper. All this stemming from a condition brought about by hate and division of people who are not their own. How many times have we disassociated ourselves from the truth, and to "them" those who oppress we do them a great service. Very well planned and organized have been the devalution of a black race, where the antagonist are ourselves. If a dog were to bark we would know it were a dog. If a bird were to fly we would know it were a bird. I believe God's distinct reason for race was not seperation but equality by means of control. A bird will never fly if it doesn't realize its a bird. It may walk around and try bark like a dog, but every animal in the environment knows what it is, even its prey. So in a way it is not our being so we have to accept then demand that respect, not acceptance from others who you may think like and associate with. The black generation after being sabotaged into slavery with the succession of centuries later, they let us go on our own with supervision into a society now where most of us now think like them in terms of Americanism and Politicism. We practice the same hate, discrimination, and grief amongst each other because the truth was taken and now we accept and want to be able to be something were not. Ultimately it keeps us lame and unwise in a world that is now globalizing and urbanizing pushing blacks back as the repulsed. This is nothing pessimistic as I believe to myself is every reason to demand and grant respect as a human. Because humanity is about race, culture, belief and sacrifice no matter how weird or racial that may sound. Then again, who are they to say who you are? If American, let it stem from humanity not degradation.
