The years of disproportionate abuse of black people in America, is now the base point for a call of universal sympathy or a carefully designed agenda to galvanize people of African descent. It has carefully become a strategy to produce desired outcomes by various people (leftist media, fake conservatives and socialist who say they are progressives, this including the black conscious movement).
This occurs with no justification or accountability for the inhumane or debauched methods in which black and brown people treat each other. The horrible ways we have grown accustom to treating each other has been made excusable and has been tolerated for years.
It more than often gets chalked up by us as “conditioning”, “learned behavior” or as an excuse to continue down this path, because not only does it not permit growth and independence but is often celebrated as “art and entertainment” And has been made a profitable experiment... Many times a sense of inadequacy is felt by not disassociating ourselves from these deified depictions of thugs and gangsters, that have been attributed to our demise.
After all there have been messages conveyed to break the spell that has lead to our destruction. Strong messages, consistent with the current status of ‘’Black America” dating back to the 60’s and 70’s. Not to mention the often referred to golden age and conscious rap era. Whether these contributors, were people who went all out for the cause or not, to instill these alternatives in the hearts and minds of the people is somewhat irrelevant.
I will be the first to say many of these spokesman and their intent have proven to be questionable... As it should, because many of those critics of the negative portrayals and lifestyles of black and brown people are celebrated as heroes and enjoy the fruits of their message, having a niche market who wear emblems and medals for their perceptive powers and critical thinking, as eye opening revolutionist, fighting the fine fight ...BUT yet have made packs and or excuses for themselves and are the same people working along with those who have an agenda persistent in conveying the destructive patterns against us.
Yet they have been placed on a platform that garnishes attention as the “difference” as informative black people willing to nourish their people with healthy alternatives. The question is are they insiders only giving small doses? Or is it a matter of not being that effective which leads them to compromising a certain position? That can also be argued as irrelevant.
Outside of being a person who is extremely trained in identifying the nature of the specific messenger. For the person who is sick with a head cold any cough medicine is better than no medicine at all... There is no room for being a snob in discussing the other brands out there and validating which is a better alternative. The point is there are many representatives and there have been many brilliant people presenting the alternative over the years.
Supplying a different platform and cultural variants, helping with overall development of our communities. Yet theses individuals have been shunned by large portions of people as a whole and at times ridiculed. So at what point does the hypocrisy end? Where black and brown people who are in the proverbial “ light” or ‘’woke’’ take a stand and speak in a way that is fair without having to be seen or acknowledged as white apologist or going with the new universal trend of basing all European descendants as a detriment or causality. Instead with maturity present issues and foresight along with hindsight in holding accountable those deserving scrutiny “Europeans” and many others who have historically added to horrible events or their part in destabilization and ruinous ways.
Because many of the black and brown people celebrated in today’s media, have a multitude of platforms and whether knowingly or not. Are in compromising positions and are living a quality life in America, due to opportunities that have arisen out of the chaos, (Hip hop artist now moguls who based their career at one point off of selling drugs) showed very little concern for anything that pertains to the overall success of their people BUT now can speak passionately and pull on the heart strings of their people.
This is just a carbon copy of what many of the white liberals with positions of power are conveniently doing. We have to constructively ask hard questions? Are they really condemning the things that place you in compromising positions? Are they really helping you to draw personally, well thought out conclusions or are they carrying the ball further down the field leading to a score, that puts the game out if reach instead.
