Im fukking wit ya.

So what heatlhy ways have you come up with to manage your anger?

Figuring out how to use the well paying grad job I have as a starting point to accumulate wealth and influence change in Africa.

In the meantime read Dambisa Moyo and educate myself on African affairs past and present.

I have decided just now that being angry with Europeans is just another way of giving them control. No more.

I'm sure you are not the only non-American Black looking at the U.S. Blacks and asking that same question..how do yall deal? How is there no major uprising?

It's not that simple. Many of us here have families, are parents. It's hard to abandon your duties as a parent and sacrifice yourself for "the cause" instead.

Those who aren't parents or bound by any other serious life resonsibilities..well...I fall into that category and I'd say we just aren't united enough, there is no "one mindedness" amongst this community..and there HAS to be SOME level of that one-mindedness for unity to even BEGIN to take set.

But since we're so splintered and shattered as a people, we find ourselves literally powerless.

We've had a Black president for almost 8 years and nothing has changed for Black people.
Not because he was so shytty.
But because we aren't/weren't unified enough to take advantage of having him in office. We never screamed loud enough in his face, all at once, with the same message.

Pac said it best, in one of his many profound and eerily prophetic verses:
"..and though it seems heaven sent, we aint ready, to have a Black president."

Please, Obama was and is what he was intended to be . . . . a puppet.

Black folks like Harry Belafonte and Andrew Young and John Lewis and all those dudes who marched with MLK tried to warn Black folks about making this dude the center of our universe.

Y'all hated on Tavis Smiley who tried to vet the dude at the State of the Black Union, which Hillary Clinton and all the other Democrats showed up to, but he instead sent his wife, because it wasn't politically advantageous to be seen with us.

Y'all let him talk down to us about being bad parents, meanwhile White kids are shooting up their schools every few days, yet he never criticized White Amerikkka's parenting.

Y'all let him throw Rev. Wright under the bus for telling the truth about racist ass CACs.

Then you wonder what the problem is?

He was never for us and was never going to be for us. I don't care if MLK, Marcus Garvey, and Booker T. Washington were alive and making demands on our behalf, he would still be there for Wall-Street, defense contractors, the car companies, and hoe ass White liberals from New York and California forcing gay and tranny shyt on all of us.

As long as my plan to start a black business is intact it prevents me from getting mad.

I'm sat here feeling super pissed off on behalf of Eric Garner and Tamir Rice and then I realise this has been happening for decades but people like me who are not living in the United States of dAmnation have just not been exposed to it.

Separately I've been educating myself on African history. My question was; what was the history of Africa before Europeans were unleashed onto the continent. What I found was cities and kingdoms whose structures were destroyed and their relics stolen or hidden in order for the white man to justify his scramble for land and wealth that wasn't his.

There was a really interesting video on this topic but I can't find it. Ultimately white settlers destroyed these sites.

I am at the cusp of entering full blown hatesville at the crossing between white people are the devil and would any group of people do the same given the chance? Either its humanity or white people.

But my question to you as people who live this reality is how do you manage the anger? It's taking root in me and making me hate. Hate hurts you and I am not looking to get cancer. I've started to take it out on random white guys masculinity by refusing to acknowledge their existence when they try to get eye contact. This is getting unhealthy, need to learn how to manage this emotion.


ps Like I said can't find the video of how europeans destroyed African cities but cool video here

Nubian Kingdom (modern day North Sudan) older than ancient Egypt when the area was fertile



As I got older and more aware of the world I too experienced that same hate inside. Then I realized that was not the answer. Then I saw this



Sidenote this is an incredible film made during the blaxploitation era and was repressed. Now it's out there and I recommend all aware brothers and sisters see it.

While his actions in the movie are a bit extreme, what stood out to me is the fact that we are in a war and we have to fight it in anyway possible. The line is drawn and you either in our out. I choose the fight the generational war. I do that by inspiring not only my kids, but by as much of our young ones I come into contact with. The position I am in life gives me a unique opportunity to do that and I take full advantage of it.
