A black person's kryptonite. . . other black people. *Dramatic music*

Okay howdy ho there reader-reno. I was watching CNN today where I have came across another rants towards Senator Obama. During his speech at the democratic convention in St. Petersburg, Florida Senator Obama was greeted with a hasty heckler who asked him essentially "Where was the senators support during all these struggles that black people had to endure during the recent news while he was in the senate and running for president." Not only did the senator answer the heckler's question with grace but he ripped the heckler's question to shreds thus in turn making him look like nothing more than a straight "nigger" (yes, I said it.)
This brings me to a special point, a black person's
krytonite is other black people. It is not the white man, so we need to stop blaming them for everything they do. Yes, white people do cause actions and have causes actions that have led us to be in the position that we are currently in. However, a lot of the problems that have occur from the fact that we do it to ourselves. Let's start off with education, if a young black males or female wants to persue an acheieable goal of the betterment of their education status. He or she is deemed too "white" for the taste of blacks and in turn they will stop dealing with that person. Longing for belongment young black children will jepordize their education status just to be like their friends. A black female who wants to go to college and persue a job as a lawyer is told by her black friends from her neighborhood that
she will not amount to anything will in turn often give in to peer pressure causes her to lose her dream. We have to stop stifling one another before we are deemed nothing more than garbage and be left at the way-side by all the other races.
