I HAVE WHITE PEOPLE ISSUES
NOW THE TITLE OF THIS BLOG WAS JUST TO GET YOUR ATTENTION…
I don’t have white people issues. I have issues with IGNORANCE…
I am a very proud a black woman. I am one of the main people that will tell you quick I LOVE BEING BLACK. BUT… I’m not afraid to say, yes, sometime SOME black people are given to much of a pity party. SOME of us act like the white man (poor choice of words I know) is always out to get over on us. SOME of us think that we are owed this and that because of the simple fact that we are black, we were slaves, the “white man” wouldn’t have this or that if it wasn’t for black people doing it. He just put his name on it. WHATEVER!
I recently heard a poem by a 10yr old girl that kind of made me proud and mad at the same time. Proud of the fact that she is 10 and she had a major talent for writing poetry & that her parents introduced her and educated her in the art of poetry. Mad because although it is evident she is a very intelligent and bright young lady. Ignorance against none African American races has been planted into her, therefor she has hidden hate in her words and ignorant knowledge that at the age of 10 her mind shouldn’t even be thinking about. I know y’all probably are like “what is she talkin’ about, what video?” Below is the video?
Now the part that really got to me and made me go Wow. Really!!! The part where she said “Hanna Montana teaching black kids country Ebonics. The sweet life of everyone else but we. Everybody loves Raven but she hates herself. A non black reality that I cant see. Cory’s in the white house serving master. Being ruled by an 8 year old, while Cory’s dad is in the kitchen preparing dinner for master president. Because that’s the only way they could get in..” IGNORANCE… Something so simple and innocent, turned around and made into something wrong and evil into this little girls eyes. IGNORANCE. “A non black reality that I cant see”. My question is why not? Black people cant like country slang? or does that mean black people cant like country music? Raven has to hate herself becauseeeeee, what? Because she is a young black teen that happens to live in a nice house, nice neighborhood, goes to a mixed school and her best-friend is white? “Cory’s in the white house serving master. Being ruled by an 8 year old, while Cory’s dad is in the kitchen preparing dinner for master president. Because that’s the only way they could get in..” Master?! Really! So because Cory dad is a great chef’ and happened to be asked by the president to be his personal chef which just so happens to be a black man, isn’t good enough reason right?! He has to be serving the 8yr old and not be friends?! So let me get this correct. Anytime a black man or woman is working for a “white” man or woman they are serving master right?! If you said yes, your ignorant. Its called doing a job. Correct me if I’m wrong but when we had “MASTERS”, we couldn’t just get up and leave. We couldn’t just say I quit. I’m sure he can and could if he want…
Stop taking everything out of context and making it something bad when its purely innocent. Lets grow up people. Lets stop being IGNORANT and lets stop teaching our children IGNORANCE. Its time for a change!

I loved this piece P! I agree wholeheartedly!
Did she really write that? Or was she just reciting something someone ELSE wrote?
She “suppose” to have written that. But I asked the same question. If she wrote it herself. Surely she was helped by her parents…
