Y'all certainly focus on somebody doing something for you
Its nice when that happens
But if you're living from hook up to hook up then I bet you are in need of help
Doing for self should be the main focus. As an individual, as a household, and as a community
Black people will rise when we find it within to do so. All the help in the world can't help that. But once you are capable of helping yourself than you don't need anyone to give you anything
This and this is how I live my life and try to tell others the same thing. Humans beings have a very hard time taking accountability, it doesn't matter if its good or bad. People want to blame/praise God, spirits, karma, their ex, their parents, etc instead of looking at their self.
People want individuals to follow and individuals to blame from Obama, to Trump, to Tariq it doesn't matter. They root for these individuals harder than they root for theirself because imo they don't believe in the person in the mirror.
I give Obama credit for becoming president in this racist country, I didnt expect him to make any changes for black people at the surface level because he was president of a predominantly white government, that still hasn't given black people their due so why would anyone expect Obama to get them to change? Black people can't even make fundamental changes at their job but expected Obama to make changes for us throughout the country. Obama got thrown through the mud for saying Trayvon could've been his son, imagine if he fought for reperations the outrage would be
Yes we were dealt a horrible hand but until we get what we need we have to keep fighting for self and not be dependent on any kind of "leader"
