There are times,

when I am totally embarassed to be black, not just a black woman, but, black on the whole.  Sadly, when other loud talking, cussing black men and or women come around me, I can't stick around them, simply because the way they speak, and the way they murder the english language literally makes my skin itch.

There is no selfrespect, and if you do not have that for yourself, then you certainly do not have it for anyone else.

How is it you're going to get mad when another race uses the N-word, and so forth?  I've been told by some black people that 'IF only I really understood the plight of the blackMAN during slavery.....' and blah blah blah.  My thing is this.  Too many times we as black people reach for that always there 'race card', even when it's not called for, and use it as some sort of a crutch for reasons unbeknownest to me.   Yes, slavery was a horrible time for our people, and for many other races who have suffered at the hands of some madman subjacating races into slavery, but does that mean, you hold on to that FOREVER?  Keep holding onto that of the past and you will never leave the past.
