I said chasing a high. My metaphor for seeking anglo acceptance and seen as an equal. You're being difficult just because.I'm from the city and moved to the suburbs for hs. So did many others. Some were living at relatives houses or using fake addresses. I only see small differences between the two.
You sound effing stupid. There are lots of majority black/racially diverse suburbs here. & when black people move into majority white suburbs, they do not get a "pat on the head from cacs", they are more than likely not even wanted in the neighborhood. Just because someone lives in a suburb doesn't mean that they are rich or have enough money to "build up our communities". There were lots of people at my majority black but racially diverse suburban hs who had free luch because their parents could not afford to pay full price. They can't even pay for their kids to eat at school, but you expect them to try to help build something that will probably be destroyed by gang members the next day (& that they won't even be able to see the positive results of b/c it will more than likely take longer than their life time to turn rundown/gang ran place into a nice/safe/clean place to live)?![]()
Next, that is the problem. We collectively talk ourselves out of doing the right thing for immediate gratification. Funny, cacs roll up in these so-called dangerous neighborhoods for the low, set up shop and build it up. Why can't we? Civil rights leaders and participants laid it all out including their lives and freedom for those to follow, fully knowing they may not live to see any changes.
We're content and that is wrong. We should be wanting more, hell we deserve more. If you're a sister, I won't disrespect, society does it enough but wake up.
