There are a lot of opinions I share and some I don't share in here.
1. Race is NOT sufficient to create "black unity". Black unity is a myth. You cannot expect people to stick together because of a skin pigmentation. The reason whites do it is because their group is define by a LACK of melanin which results from a recessive gene.
That means that unless measures are put into place, their group as currently defined will disappear.
2. Cultures are also very diverse with elements that are similar and elements that are different.
However people of different cultures form strong bonds all the time.
3. There is still a lot of raw emotions between the oppressor and the oppressed, in this case whites and blacks.
Whites were oppressed by whites e.g. europeans who landed on Ellis Island and had to work oppressive hours to build railroads and this country's infrastructure.
However ways exist for them to successfully integrate into and become a part of this society.
Africans and their descendants are still struggling to integrate in a way that is respectful to their original way of life, pays homage to those they came from and allowed to get fair treatment for even basic needs.
That creates a level of dis-trust and hate that is justified to an extent.
However instead of moving towards solidifying around these issues, we continue to create group dynamics that forces us to stay within ourselves.
I am one of the most militant persons I know and I adhere to TRUTH where ever that may lead me.
If someone helps me fulfill my life's purpose, that is the person I would confide in, share myself with.
I love people who:
- Love the truth no matter how harsh that truth may be
- Are willing to sacrifice for the greater good
- Grow because they relentlessly seek the truth
- Doers who practice what they preach
- Believe that all things are possible with enough self-sacrifice
If those things come in colors then let me know.
Life is short and I am not in a position to judge someone else based on their skin color just as I expect someone not to judge me based on my skin color.
Bless.
