on fridays, sometimes my neighbor and i go to a buffet about 25 minutes away from where we live.  today we decided to go, so i walked over to his house and waited outside near his truck, which was running.  as i’m waiting for him to come outside i see two young black dudes walking across the street from my neighbor’s home.  one was walking in front of the other, but the pace they were walking at was eerily slow.  it’s cold as fuck up here, and all they had on were hoodies.  in my mind i’m thinking it’s too damn cold to be walking at a snails pace with no coat on.  something told me the situation wasn’t right.

and i’m psychic.

i watched them go on down the street, looking inside people’s houses.  my neighbor came outside and i told him what i saw, so we went down the street to see where they went.  we came upon them and one was peeing on the front side of someones home while the other looked inside the open windows and around the back of the place.  it looked like they were casing the fucking spot!  so we pulled in the driveway and my neighbor jumped out to ask them what they were doing when these fools turned and ran.  aww hell naw!  we ended up chasing down one of the guys and my neighbor talked to him for minute, explaining to him that what he was doing was the wrong shit; telling him he was gonna rob his own people instead of the people who had put him in the place where he felt he needed to rob people.  in the midst of telling the young brother that he knew he would attempt the shit again and to be prepared for the consequences, i was surprised at how open this guy was to the wisdom he was receiving.  he even thanked my neighbor for stopping him.  now i’m sure he was happy that the situation had a positive outcome, cuz if it had been someone else, especially one of the fed up men (or women) in this neighborhood where crime has risen lately, he would’ve had a pistol pulled on him and quite possibly fired.  these folks don’t play.

my neighborhood, although considered a suburb, is now overly populated with section 8 hoodrats who’ve brought their dust clouds and baggage with them from the slums of the hood.  homeowners saw the value of their homes shoot to shit, and instead of walking away, decided to lease their homes to the government.  the government, boosting guaranteed rent payments, started leasing these homes in suburban neighborhoods to bums, whores, drunks and addicts with millions of kids and no daddy, no cleanliness and no pride. now that they’ve been removed from cleveland’s inner cities into more prominent school districts (at a rate that is so incomprehensible that no wonder property values in this area have dropped, some more than 50% ), the uppity white folks are starting to build over-priced condos in fucked up neighborhoods, hence suburban Section 8. not all people on government assistance are like this, but the majority of them are just plain nasty.  these people have brought their pigsty-like tendencies onto the clean and manicured lawns of the suburbs, and crime and other ridiculousness has followed them.  now some ‘burbs look like they need to be disinfected.

with section 8 hoodlums has come a considerable amount of trash and bad habits. shit that proud homeowners don’t do like neglect “their” lawns and upkeep “their” homes.  cuz the shit ain’t theirs.  who cares if screens are missing and front doors swing open freely because of a missing latch that they’re too lazy to buy.  cuz it ain’t their shit.  you can usually tell which houses on the block belong to section 8 renters if the mini-blinds are dirty and/or broken.  and if food wrappers and other bullshit are just floating around like they belong there too.

so with these people came their crime.  crime has always existed, yes, but it didn’t exist in my neighborhood until they came.  they being lazy excuse-making lowlifes.  now their teenage kids are roaming around the area breaking into people’s homes while they’re at work, trying to stay afloat.  the last thing they need is to come home to a ramshacked home with missing shit.  especially at the hands of the jealous motherfucker next door, who can’t afford a flat-screen because they’re too lazy to get off their nasty ass and give up that check they get every month.  instead of making a living the correct way, they spread their legs and spit out ghetto-fucked-up bastard children who grow up wondering why their lives are so screwed.  why they don’t have nice things and brand new video game consoles.  why?  because their mother (and grandmother and great-grandmother) was too busy blaming everyone else but herself for why she never became anything.  when the government stepped in and told her she “didn’t”  have to do a damn thing but not have a man to get some $$ each month, she lost sight of whatever she wanted to be and started being nothing but a worthless stupid piece of shit.  a detriment to society.

now these people who’s homes were broken into, who are already paying for her to live next door to them, have to replace everything that was stolen from them, in addition to supplementing the people that took the shit!  what kind of sense does that make?

so are we gonna sit around the dinner table and keep raising our blood pressure over this shit, or are we gonna make some changes?  are we gonna take back our communities or wait for whitey to do it?  are we gonna follow the example of my courageous neighbor, who was willing to show the young boy the right way?

what’cha gon’ do willis?

this is bound to stir up controversy, but this is a serious question.  i am not a feminist, nor do i agree with black women claiming this shit, hence the question.  in my opinion, feminism is just another paradigm of the system created to dumb down and disconnect us from “reality.”

last time i checked, “feminism” spawned from white men treating their women like shit and raping fucking Black women in their faces.  can you imagine your husband waking up in the middle of the night and creeping to the quarters to have his way with a woman who is #1 a slave and #2 Black! dayum, how much does that suck!!  here is your husband, who supposedly HATES niggers and nigger women, yet is real quick to kill a nigger over a nigger woman, just so he can force his dick inside her.  then comes back to bed like nothing happened.  9 months later a mulatto is born and you’re supposed to ignore it!  and that’s exactly what white women did — IGNORED it.

white women “needed” the feminist movement because they were worthless.  slaves cleaning up the house, slaves rearing their children, slaves cooking their meals, slaves ironing their families clothes, slaves fucking their man when they didn’t want to, slaves fucking their man when their man no longer desired them.  okay so you don’t clean, cook, iron, wash, teach, work, wipe your ass, etc.  what is your purpose other than to look pretty and be quiet? the only reason white women were”necessary” back then was to spawn white children and keep their “race” and political structure strong.  “gimme sons and get out my face” type shit.  the majority of white women weren’t involved in politics, economics or whatever else was needed to maintain.  their main duty was to brush their hair, read the bible and hate Blacks.

fast forward some time and now all of a sudden white women have grown tired of being ignored and oppressed.  well duh, shit if you weren’t sitting on your ass for hundreds of years doing nothing but frowning at blackness, while your slave-master husbands brutalized the living daylight out of black people, you wouldn’t be screaming “women’s rights” which are, in essence, white women’s rights.  cuz you don’t give a fuck about anyone but yourself.

and Black women being the followers that they are, wanting so desperately to be equal to white women, manifested the “belief” that they were being oppressed also, but oh no not by mr. slave master, but by BLACK MEN! because Black men had so much power as defined by the rules of western civilization.  i’m sorry but i don’t recall anytime in history, regardless of profession (politician, educator, orator) where Black men didn’t have a difficult time in white society.  Black women started crying for not being “recognized” for their contributions in the civil rights movements and having their names overlooked by bigger ones such as Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  so you’re mad because “white misogyny” hasn’t recognized you in huge headlines.  its not good enough for the Black community to know what you as a Black woman accomplished to push the civil rights movement forward huh.  yeah didn’t think so.

of course this was not the only reason for the black feminist movement; equal wages and employment, protection laws and domestic freedom were all contributing factors as to why “we” felt that we were oppressed.  yes, white women and black women were (and still are) treated unfairly, but i sure as hell am NOT sympathetic because Becky got cheated on by her nasty ass husband, George.  Becky wasn’t the one being raped and forced to act like she was turned on by George or his filthy penis.  Becky’s children weren’t sold away from her or killed.  Becky’s husband wasn’t beaten to death in front of his family to show the rest of the slaves who was so-called boss.  Becky’s children may have been taken from her during divorce, but her children were still breathing and being pampered by Black slaves.  so Becky and her “i need attention” can kiss my ass.  and so can Black women who follow Becky’s example.

Black feminists evidently aren’t aware of the “system” or maybe they choose not to acknowledge it.  maybe they don’t understand that regardless of belief, a woman CAN NOT raise a man, especially a Black man alone.  but the system has created this “belief” that we don’t need no man.  this fucked up shit gives single mother’s free money (damn near free government housing, discounted daycare, free medical and education stipends) as long as they KEEP THE BLACK MAN OUT OF THE HOME. say what you’re gonna give me money to kick my man out?  and emasculate him even more?  because from birth the odds were stacked in favor of the Black man.  because it’s soooo fucking easy for a Black man to attend and graduate from college, land a high-paying job to keep you, him and the baby fly, and keep afloat in a society that constantly tells him he ain’t shit.  now you’re dependent on the white man (again) so you can drive around in a car similar to the white chicks you see at the mall all the time, shopping in stores you can’t afford — but you still buy stuff you know you shouldn’t, with money you didn’t earn.  all stemming from jealousy of the material shit they have.  keyword = material.  the material shit they got off free labor from you.  yes you.  but you don’t give a hot damn about your son or daughter growing up without a father, because you kicked him out because he was too broke for you.

and for those black feminists not on government assistance, they really think they’re the shit.  since society didn’t cut off your tits like it chopped off his balls allowing you to work next to the white man, all of a sudden Black men ain’t good enough for you.  you think you got that nice salaried job due to your “qualifications”, but in reality it was only because your white boss wanted to fuck you.  and maybe you did lay him for the job.  i won’t tell your secret.  i’m not discrediting women who worked their asses off to achieve what they have, but some women spread their legs to the top.  black and white.  i’m just saying, before Black women jump on the “I am woman hear me roar” boat, take a look at the system we live in.  this system is meant to divide the family.  this shit really has Black women thinking they can successfully raise a well-rounded man (and woman) without the aid of the man.  did you impregnate yourself?  no, so why in the hell would you think you could raise the child alone?  does that make sense to you?

i wish Black women would stop following these asinine trends of white folks.  quiet as its kept they’re part of the system too, they either don’t know it, or refuse to acknowledge it.

one of my professor’s posed this question in class last week and i was really taken aback by some of the responses.

this class is in the pan-African studies department (i’m majoring in pan-African studies/minoring in political science) where discussions really heat up and feelings get hurt — usually because of emotional viewpoints exchanged between conscious and unconscious students.

yes we’re divided.  we have some who “play” conscious, but we know they really don’t know shit (meaning they ain’t tryin to hear there ain’t no jesus).  those of us who do know shit are constantly going at it with the sleeping ones, even some professors.  we agree on major historical events and other yada yada, but when the conversation gets meated, students (and some faculty) get heated.  that was real corny.

anyways, the discussion on this particular day was if we were Africans or African-americans.

*note:  there is one conscious white boy in our class who is from ireland — he was asked whether or not he identified with being an american.  he said hell to the naw.

my answer: i’m an African who happens to live in america.  i hold no allegiance to this place, and why should i when it raped, murdered and enslaved my ancestors?  when it lied to me about my history and made it seem like i didn’t have one?   i don’t give a hot damn if my people built this shit — have we (or any black family) been paid for the labor or even given a fucking heartfelt apology for the shit we went through?  hell no!  we need to stop bullshitting ourselves.  i really wanted to say that in class, but i didn’t want to be disrespectful.  but, there is no way that a black person living in this country, breathing in the stinch of racism and unequal opportunity on a daily basis,  should ever identify with being an american.  that’s like a slap in the face to our ancestors.  we will never be free if we base our happiness on being equal to the white man.  we can’t be equal to something we’re better than.  i’m all for repatriation to Africa (there are some stipulations).  until i’m shown some damn respect in this place i will say fuck america until i’m able to move back home.

my conscious friends agreed with me.  they said they weren’t american because america still has blood on its hands that it refuses to acknowledge.  black people are at the bottom of the caste system in american society, and the broke-est, but the main ones flocking to material shit.  another point was made that when an African-american travels out of the country they’re viewed as an “american,” but ‘at home’ they’re classified as black, white or other.  WTF?  job applications even ask you to self-identify as either white, african-american, asian, hispanic, or native american.  if america isn’t the “white-man’s” land why don’t these applications say “european-american” and ask one to specify their country of origin?  Hmmm. . .

their answer (minus those who didn’t reply):  they were African-americans because their ancestors were responsible for making america what it is today.  they earned the right to “be an american.”  to eat hot dogs and celebrate the 4th of july –> this is my thought, hehe.  they couldn’t be African because they were born here and modern-day Africans don’t like Africans born in america.  we should stay here because there’s no better place for blacks to live right now.  we can’t just go back to Africa because we don’t know where we’re going.  america has so many opportunities for African-americans and the american dream is now achievable for us.

my facial expressions are dead giveaways for my true feelings sometimes.  i think i earned a fresh wrinkle in my forehead because of all the eyebrow raising, sideways looks i was giving.  i even laughed at one point.  i kept thinking “man if black kids keep growing up identifying with this ‘i’m an american, so what about slavery’ bullshit attitude then we are truly fuuucked.”

slavery has really fucked us up!  i’m at the point where i think we (the conscious community) need to just throw in the towel and concentrate on further educating ourselves and strengthening our net.  maybe we need to focus on our own repatriation back to the motherland and leave these fools behind to be americans.  if they want to follow us then they have to make some significant changes within themselves, because we don’t have time for nonsense.

in my opinion, if these kids knew themselves and really indulged in their history, they wouldn’t be claiming america.  i’m just sayin.

this topic is bound to surface again sometime on this blog, but i’m asking you now.  are you an African or African-american?
