one thing i want to talk about is this thing where i keep seeing black men talking about racism in ways that negatively affect themselves
ok i want to give my take on this racism exists however some of these black men need to stop focusing on it so much.. like to give an example, i saw one guy on youtube and he said jobs are "slavery" and he said college is "the white man's school" ok while i will say racism exists and i have seen it both in school and in the workplace, i also feel like you should not indulge it all so much.. to say a job is a slave ship is just not true because people have had jobs all throughout time.. africa is full of black people and africans have jobs.. so u can't say a job is "slavery" .. a job is a job.. you may run across some discrimination but you keep it moving and don't let it stop u from advancing.. God is your provider, not "the man" or whatever and when it comes to schools... again same thing here- they have colleges in africa, so are you going to call those "the white man's lies?" ... i agree racist things are taught in college, i mean you would think only white europeans did anything of significance if you really stuck to only what they teach.. however that doesn't negate the fact that you should go ahead and do school so that you can make a way for yourself in this society.. i've had to hear things in school i didn't agree with since like the 5th or 6the grade when they started talking about the big bang and how an explosion that happened for no reason created life lol but i didn't drop out at the 6th grade as some sort of angry silent protest.. i kept it moving.. and that is what black men must do when we are in school learning nonsense that is atheist and racist.. i'm not saying the misinformation that is taught is good or ok, but i'm saying sometimes we should try to see the bigger picture.. there are certain things in society that tend to garner respect, and education tends to be one of the main ones if u are a black male you are possibly irritated at a lot of things but try to overlook, forgive, and have a positive attitude, not for others- but for yourself, your sanity, and your family's well-being i have experienced a lot of racism.. i could sit here and type a lot talking about it but it is pretty depressing so i'm not going to explain it- just know i have seriously dealt with it pretty much everywhere except church... i honestly just don't want to talk about it, but trust me- i have dealt with it.. i would go over a bunch off the top of my head but i don't feel like thinking about that nonsense and that is essentially the same thing i am prescribing to other black males.. don't give that stuff any time, attention, or light.. just keep it movin.. you may run across racist people but don't get in verbal arguments, don't go tit for tat, don't do any of that.. just stay on your path if you can.. stay focused.. do u want to be arguing with people or taking care of responsibilities? i am aware there is racism, but we need to put God first and let Him handle all this stuff we deal with think like this: "does God want me to cuss this person out?" "does the Lord want me to get revenge?" "does Jesus want me to be bitter inside?" etc. just keep it movin.. i've seen a lot of black men talking about racism and how it is affecting them.. try not to give it power everyday i go to work i work with a guy right next to me who sounds racist to me.. he is always saying something that is right on the border of offensive.. like probably every single day he says something offensive.. i don't pay it any attention though- i mean he is actually a cool guy outside of his archie bunker mindset.. but if i acted like some of these black guys i see out here- it would've been a fistfight day one lmao... but that's not productive.. and we have to think productively another thing i want to address is this whole student loan thing.. this is another thing that people seem to use as an excuse not to "try" or "strive" ..i've seen a lot of people (all races and both genders) ranting about student loans.. look i am tired of all the "student loans are the big bad wolf" talk.. you take out the loans and you pay them back based on your income.. i don't need to hear anyone saying "those loans are a scam from the government" or "those loans are a scam from the white man" .. whether they are or aren't.. you aren't getting points in life by not doing anything.. not taking initiative and not taking risks is not something i would recommend.. "how do u guarantee you can pay them back?" HOW DO U GUARANTEE ANYTHING, IDIOT!? DON'T YOU KNOW YOU COULD DIE TOMORROW, YOU STUPID FAGGOT! have u ever heard of a sinkhole? the very ground you walk on could cave in and you could fall 100 feet to your death at any moment.. your entire house could be sitting on top of a sinkhole.. oh and guess what else? if the new madrid fault reawakens then our whole country could be screwed in ways we never imagined you have no guarantees in life.. you just go for things, you have faith and hope and you pray that God will lead you through you get one life and you are to live it by faith.. you don't fret and complain and tip toe through everything.. you say "i think i can do this" then you do it, then you move to the next level.. you do everything by faith ok.. so i just wanted to speak on things i've heard people say that i feel end up becoming self-defeating i am not blaming black men- i am not a person who is dumb enough to blame the victim.. i am just saying.. KEEP IT MOVING AKA DONT LET THESE THINGS STOP YOU IF YOU CAN HELP IT and the same to all these people out here afraid of the big bad student loans... smh.. have u ever heard of a scholarship? maybe a grant? like stop blaming one problem that has multiple solutions for your total lack of action.. even in the worst case scenario- that you (GASP!) have to pay it back.. you are still ok.. no one is going to stretch your nuts back and fling em' up your butt-crack.. no one is going to throw u in prison.. u will just have to work with what u have to pay them back lets all make an effort to stop letting things stop us from having faith and taking action in life i say all of this in humility!!!
