A Self-destructive Mentality

Welcome to the: You’re Not Black Enough Blog.

As black folk we have unfortunately come to believe that to “be black” is to live a life of poverty, crime, community blithe and total victim hood. This erroneous thinking has caused us to develop a "crab in the basket" tactic designed to keep progressive blacks from wanting to live up to their full potential – in order to deflect the light from shining on the large portion of black folk that can do, but won't do.

This blog, created by a back female will explore and expose through her eyes, the many ways this very destructive mentality is killing us as a people, and how it adversely affects the entire world in which we live. You probably have grasped by now that the content on this blog will in essence cut to the very core of what is ailing black folk as a people.

In other words it will embarrass some, constructively hurt some, anger most of which they will say: “you’re not better than me”, infuriate others into crying “sell out” and impulse most, to more "white people" finger pointing, yet another group will say "this is really a white persons blog". And we must not forget the notorious Jerry Springer style "you don't know me" group.

For the pseudo degreed among us, meaning those that use, having a degree to try to make others feel inadequate, so they can further delude themselves into believing that they are superior which is the tactic used to hide the fact that they too have low self-esteem.

This group suffers from "mis-educated black hypocrisy" they will address every situation by first asserting their degree-ism. As though one must have a degree to know what they are talking about, and they will always demand to see your credentials, because "unless you have a degree, you couldn't possibly know what you're talking about".

This group is quite convoluted, because they possess the intelligence to make a real difference among our people but because they believe a degree alone is the universal panacea they erroneously believe two things:

First, they can somehow escape the association of the "black plight" through their degree.

Secondly, that they couldn't possibly play a role in the problem, because they have a degree.

Another group will be highly offended because they are nothing like what is posted on this blog. Then I say to you: "join me" in exposing the stench that is killing us. And finally, the smallest group will be those that will rejoice at these postings because they feel the same way.

In the end this blog and it's content will be a catalyst to those that were unable to see what was right before their eyes. This is about healing. And just as when one's broken leg is healing the process itself does not feel good, but I doubt if anyone has ever said, "I don't want the cast put on my broken leg because healing does not feel good".

The quality of our lives as a people is contingent upon us facing these very facts about our condition. So if it causes you to experience anger, embarrassment, sadness or happiness GOOD. Because until we address the hypocrisy and the false sense of victim hood that plagues our communities we will continue to implode.

None-the-less, and without apology this blog will expose the generally unconsidered, fearfully unspoken and totally unadulterated truth.

I would like to add, that the “you’re not black enough” tactic is not just limited to the seriously impoverished. This mentality begins with generational impoverishment, and moves on to those with annual incomes into the millions. For if it were not true, we would not hear so-called black stars (Vivica Fox) saying:

“The racist cop arrested me for drunk driving because I’m black”.

Never considering the far-fetched possibility that she may have actually gotten arrested for drunk driving because she was drunk. So her arrest had nothing to do with being "black", but everything to do with her "irresponsible behavior".

To say that she was arrested because she is black is nothing more than a feigned victim game used as a smoke screen so that she can continue to destroy herself under the guise of racism. When the real issue is the reasons why she needs to be drunk in the first place, and then risk her life and the lives of others doing so, when she has more than enough money to pay a driver. Sounds like a state of self-destruction grounded in pure unhappiness, and the dangerous cry for help.

In the real world, in order to prove beyond all doubt that you were arrested for drunk driving because you are "black". Logic would demand that you would first have to NOT BE DRUNK i.e. GUILTY. It is this type of backward thinking that is killing us as a people, and this blog will courageously call out and put on the square. So as you peruse through, and post comments, keep three things in mind:

1. All Are Welcome

2. The truth may hurt, but it's the only thing that can help

3. Once the consciousness is raised, you can never go back. You can pretend to not know it, but you can never un-know it.

So Hold On, because it's time for a paradigm shift. . .

You're Not Black Enough If . . .

You can see that Jesse Jackson is not a leader of any kind, outside of divisiveness. If you can see that Jesse sits back and waits for something to happen that he can claim as racist. Jesse suffers from un-resolved emotional trauma experienced in his earlier years. Therefore when something happens that remotely reminds him of that trauma he displays his "public racist rants", and no other time do you hear from him.

The truth of the matter is, if white people vanished today Jesse would have nothing to do or talk about. He lurks in the background waiting for another chance to impulse black folk into an emotional state of "us against them".

For instance: why does he not stand up against black on black crime? Because he does not have a problem with black on black crime, his problem is that he needs the validation of those he says he hates the most, and is simply pissed off because they won't validate him.

Jesse why don't you tell black folk to clean up their yards?--a simple task.

Why don't you denounce the foul-mouthed rappers?--because obviously you agree.

Why are you not calling press conferences to denounce black males that kill black women and children Everyday?--because you don't care about black women and children everyday, because if you did you would start with denouncing the foul-mouthed rappers.

Why don't you denounce corrupt black politicians? Because you don't have problem with corrupt black politicians.

Jesse your problem is that "white people" won't validate you. You are simply emotionally needy.

You suffer from "emotional hypocrisy" which is the inability to see things accurately because your un-resolved emotional trauma blinds you from the truth because your pain is too much to bear. Which causes you to blame "white people" for all that ails you. So as it stands now, until you heal from where you are Jesse You Are Black Enough, and that's not a good thing.

Some of you will say, "a lot of people have the same problem" and I agree. However, the difference here is that Jesse calls press conferences and impulses more division in the world through emotionalism just to feed his deep-seeded pain, and nothing real or meaningful is accomplished in the end.

Don't agree? Observe him, from a non-emotional perspective and you'll see it too. Jesse Jackson is an emotional basket case.
