In the thread @Neil Cartwright made I mentioned how I sympathize with what he said about his mom. I feel like my own mother is an extreme cause and too far gone. She has said things you would think you would hear on Fox News.
From laughing when she saw how I reacted to the Travyon Martin verdict
Criticizing Mike Brown when the store video came out and said how if I ever did something like that or the act itself and got shot she wouldn't be mad at the cops doing their job
Constantly calling Black Americans lazy and saying they don't like to work
Saying most are on welfare and wait until they get money to work.>>>We have all on here talked about people who are in this situation. We all have our criticisms but we know its a complex issue and can understand...every one of us can understand that in most cases the government forced them to be in that position. She doesn't see that at all or chooses not to
Constantly skins and grins around white people. Will watch the most white watched corny shows like Saturday Night Live and has to be the only Black person on earth who finds it funny.
Low self esteem like hell...the second a non Black person smiles with her she runs around saying things like "Oh I went to such and such store and spoke to the NICE INDIAN MAN who is always there..."
"I don't see the NICE ARAB MAN there anymore"
Then on the flip side if she has an interaction with one black person that is bad she uses it to generalize all black people. Like at my last job when she talked shyt about one of my coworkers because she didn't see her smile alot on line and went as far as to talk about how she don't see customers go to her
and I had to tell her to not talk on people you don't know and mentioned how the girl grew up and lives in a foster home.
But anyway she is a lost cause and too far gone. I have in the past tried to show her books or clips to wake her up and teach her but she brushed it aside. Even with Michelle Alexander's classic "New Jim Crow" book I remember years ago showing that to her and speaking to her about it and she kept brushing it aside. I've never seen someone c00n so hard like her.
At times I honestly feel like putting her on blast in front of people. You gotta call out these c00ns
But my sis is almost 16 so I wanna focus on her. I don't want her to grow up to be a c00n like her. What I'm asking you guys is if you can be serious in this thread and not have dumbass posts in here about myself or anything else related to me. @Barnett114 can you please remind them of this?
So I wanted some ideas of books to get my sister to read. I have tried to show her in the past but she also isn't too keen to get into it. Obviously a c00n mother being around her makes it harder to do and then her father is one of the types that think only food and shelter is important and does not teach anything else so its on me to do this
I know its not just about books and you gotta take them to places that showcase Black Excellence to build pride and I'm definitely focused on doing that from now. Just wanted to try various options all at once.
