When I peeped moneygrips homegrown chancletas I didn’t just thank GOD for blessing me with my sneaker collection, but I thanked GOD for blessing me by making my grandfolks slaves in America. Supremacy and privilege are fucked the fuck up when you relate to them on terms of being an American consumer. Why do banks give mortgages to whites at a higher rate? Why do car dealerships charge Blacks more on average? Why does ‘Flavor Of Love’ suck azz so bad?
None of these things really matter when you have no clean water to drink nor air to breathe. I know that I was pitching a bitch about the Africans yesterday and what I should have said is this…
“There can be no black-white unity until there is first some black unity…. We cannot think of uniting with others, until after we have first united among ourselves. We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves.”

I have been enjoying these thoughtful posts lately. Seems like you been doing some soul searching
Damn Dallas why you gotta air out my moms church shoes like that, thats two straigh posts you put my fam on blast the other one had my little sister drinking milk you of all people know its tough for us Africans out herre….Shieeet. Its all love though.
The first sentance says it all…
Who’da thunk we’d be glad to be born on this side of the african kente blanket?
That quote is very Malcolm-esque
Ahh thats pretty witty with the A.D.I.D.I.A.S. I just caught that lol.
word. keep dropping that knowledge, d.
The worse part is I realize despite media and the fact that you can go on the internet to see just about anything…there’s still a large group of little white kids growing up that really have no idea outside, of MTV, of what’s up with black people. I shake me head when I have to try and convince people that slavery is on par with the holocaust…considering it lasted for a few centuries it seems like a reasonable debate.
nice post. i may need to gaffle the pic dp.
we need our own unity…then we’ll deal with……
