Its not a race thing, its a lack of thinking thing and the conditioning is in our heads....
Being that we were stripped of our culture in this country, leaving us very little resistance towards park avenue and their marketing schemes, we stand more vulnerable to becoming addicted. Especially with their techniques of stripping women of their self esteem only to promise to give them back some with their product..
In the end many women and now a growing amount of fags, oops I mean men, equate material things with self esteem and their ego becomes entangled with the goods they purchase, creating a person who is addicted to feeling good, by spending money...
Like any other drug people with less culture and poor upbringing, and people who look for escapism, tend to be more vulnerable.
If we want this cycle to stop, we must stop looking at our children as future consumers, or extensions of our egos, and view them as a responsibility, someone to sacrifice our lives for, in order to uplift theirs...
I think what we must do is stop lying to them, stop allowing the church to lie to them, stop telling them that these kids are a blessing from god, and tell them the harsh truth... We must change the culture of how they see the world, let them know the dangers and hardships of being a single mother.. Let them know that its not cute and can be very humiliating and embarrassing... Shit tough love help slow down the crack epidemic when we started clowning crack heads, perhaps instead of trying to cater to their ego, we should shit on them, the way black men who has failed has been shitted on, and the way most failures of other races are shitted on..
On the flip side we must lift up the positive black woman, put her on a pedestal, marry her, give them hope and let the hope tinkle down towards the next generation of would be mothers..
We must take control of our culture, and stop letting the white run media dictate and define us...
That said, the absolute worse thing we can do is keep our heads in the ground, pretending that the ship is going to somehow right itself..
