Support Black businesses nigga![]()
Dude it's 2014 and Christmas like any other holiday is simply celebrating family and friends...It has no religious or cultural relevance whatsoever.
Its a day of appreciation for those you love
Basketball
Food Drinks.
And whoever thinks it's about people buying shit they can't afford or not paying bills in order to get has a narrow experience of black folks.
Christmas and Birthdays are two days out the year that my kids can get some of their wants if they have earned them. If not they will have needs to open.
Needs are also given year round but without any hoopla.
BTW
If you're robbing peter to pay paul it has more to do with piss poor planning than anything else.
Open a Xmas club and drop in 10 or 20 a week or more. If you want to buy shit plan and budget for it.
So enjoy time with your family and watch some NBA and settle down.
Some of you cats are hilarious. Going all Panther on us, and typing in the language of your oppressors.![]()
What language is he supposed to speak in for others to know what he's saying though?
Really? Seriously?![]()
People don't celebrate christmas because of any religious reason. They do it because of conditioning and tradition. You can just not participate. It's a society thing. Like saying excuse me when you bump someone. Something silly like that.
We don't do christmas. We don't do gifts and all that. We do it all year round. We give gifts and be like merry wednesday. Or whatever other holiday we decide to make up. It's not a big deal.
Don't be so anti about something without a logical valid reason to be anti about it is all i'm saying. sometimes we get so involved in the anti of something you lose the message and it becomes meaningless to those who are hearing it.
I don't think my kid nor my kids mom would be too pleased if I told them my son he ain't getting shit cuz we're black so there is no Christmas at my house. I'm not even Christian, it's just a holiday for me to celebrate with family and give my kid some gifts. It ain't even about me or what I feel.
Anyone else read some of these posts and instantly think..
Lonely cheap ass niggas?
the crazy shit is this is supposed to be a "Christian" country
but yet the book they go by clearly tell them its a sin to decorate
a tree
Jerimiah
1 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 Thus says the LORD: Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, for the Gentiles are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are futile; for one cuts a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. 4 They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it will not topple. 5 They are upright, like a palm tree, and they cannot speak; they must be carried, because they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor can they do any good.”
I truly believe they push this on us on purpose...
They know who we are... and they want us to break our own laws...
somebody is forcing their customs on us and stealing ours....
understandably but when the roots of "CHRIST MASS" in a so called slave dealing , murderous, evil country is a farce, it makes u think, unlike sneezing or bumpin , when u say "excuse me " or "bless u " this "HOLYDAY" goes to the root of why we are even speaking in this foreign tongue or standing wherever we may be on this day..it gives u food for thought.. but carry on.. to each his own but we cant stop shinning a little light every now n then so we dont forget our spiritual sabotage..
I don't celebrate Christmas. Mostof my family and friends do. I celebrate Kwanzaa and I consistently give cards explaining Kwanzaa and give gifts to my people and their kids.
I know people get mad and try and say Christmas is a time for gathering with family and friends. My only objection is celebrating things that are false and were forced upon you by your oppressor is never good and stand in the way of black folks progressing with even minute things. Even the smallest things play a role in our mindset.
We have it off because it's a celebration of the cacs culture not ours and we live under cacs culture. This one of the reasons we have trouble getting together for things that would help US as a people (such as Buying Black). We need to replace cac culture with our own even if it's made up. Peace
On that note I'm off to Moms house to eat with the family
You've made a good point.
Niccahs keep forgetting that for hundred of years our people kept praying to this so called God to set us free from slavery. A system that was designed by the whites and encouraged in the bible... It's not until we fought, suffered and die in our millions then we got our freedom.
No one is going to improve our lives but ourselves.
And some people won't touch Kwanaza because it was made up by Ron Karenga who was a suspected FBI informant and whose group United Slaves was responsible for the murder on Bunchy Carter and John Huggins and other Panthers.
Enjoy your time with family

Your family comes before the community. We only get one childhood. The joys of being a child is something I would never take away from my kids. It is a time to be militant and a time to educate our kids. But Christmas should be about your kids and family.
If you don't like what it means then simply change the meaning but don't look down on the kids or the brothas and sistas for giving their children memories that will last a life time.

There was a time when your black ass would have been the christmas gift. IJS.![]()
holiday comes from two words... holy & day. For those who say that it's just another holiday and not religious to them. Something just don't add up.
lastly, to my last post.
you live in america, youre not going to escape it!
know it, understand it, live accordingly(but that comes down to what is in
accord with your way of life, which is different for all)! the problem many dont
know or understand(dont care to) to start!
