I don't like him saying "we black out here we can't come out and do it anyway we want too"
Because we are black we have to do it a certain way??
Steve Harvey you a fuck nigga
we do!!
We do, they dont. They've already made it. The mission (or so I thought) is to help others like you make it or at least have an easier time getting a seat at the the table.
If we all were like Steve we'd still be in shackles. Playing their game has never been about liberation. Only the folks who were "radical" trailblazed.
Playing their game can be about liberation but youd have to do progressive things with your resources once you?ve won the game. This is where we drop the ball.
Even though they?ve made it, they still have to ?act right.? I mean look at what Monique is saying herself. She didn?t act right and she?s allegedly blacklisted.
I get that but my issue is this, when do we stop "acting right" for them? Mo' has literally spelled out why she is advocating for herself and others like her. Black folks and Black women in particular make substantially less than their white counterparts. Why is she being attacked for that? Cause ppl dont like her?
Her powerful FRIENDS basically said she was right but they didnt go to bat for her and some even through her under the bus. They didnt apologize and basically let the same white ppl they claim to fight against "in different ways" blackball their colleague and fellow Black person
Is that not bogus to ppl?
If we dont allow our powerful to stand up for us then who can? It just reminds me of how ppl were telling Colin to protest in a different way or some shit. So whats the right way?
You gotta stand up for something and not just take what they give you for survival (especially if you dont need to survive cause ur rich) The parallels are all there.
