Many people that know me probably wonders why I haven't spoken on this topic just yet it as simple as racism is not a brand new issue.
So instead of addressing racism on its own the question really is "What is the African American community doing in this matter?".
It seems that our people are just satisfied with him being banned and fined for his racial slurs.
This man like many others still have a slave master mind set. He and I quote stated " I gave them jobs, food, and houses" not once did he talk about the talent of his African American players nor the fact that with out them his team would simply be a bad investment.
Donald Sterling is just a brand new face and name of how some people still think about our race. How free are we?
A few months ago I read an article about Yolanda Spivey and how she applied to job after job with no avail and as soon has she changed her name into a European name and applied to those same jobs how she got calls from each of those jobs.
It's an eye opener the only thing she change on her resume was her name.
Racism still exist it might not be as
acceptable as it use to be but wait how acceptable is it?
I find this disturbing how when a Caucasian make comment about our race a large group of people play the it ok to have your own opinion card. Don't get me wrong it is ok to have your own opinion but when your opinion effects a group of people it's not ok! The judicial system is racial too. They scream justice for all but at the same time African Americans are judged more harshly then our white counterparts for the same crimes. its not just whites that are racial.
We should stop racial profiling in our own communities. Yes I'm talking about African American being racial towards each other. We talk about our own race in such ways that let other races see that it's ok to do the same. We to judge " she ugly cause she black" "why she so dark" and etc. what is that telling others when most of our race prefer lighter skin over darker skin?
Sara Barrtman was an South African woman. Who was brought to France decades ago. The white man she worked for promised her fame and riches. His idea was to use her enlarged body parts (breast,butt, and vuvla) as a show for money. She was touched by many amaze white men and women. She became a sceincetific study because it was abnormal to have such large body parts. When the Hottentotten Venus show ended she turned to positution as a way to survive and keep up her drinking habits. She died at 25 years of age from a infection.They couldn't even respect her in her death they made a mold then mutilated her body preserved her parts in jars in order to still study her.Her story is sad not just because of her life but because of how she was degraded because her body looks like many African American Women's body and how black women of today willingly do what she was forced to do and have the audacity to call it beauty.
The fact that our men consider an enlarged butt more beautiful then a pretty face and good moral values.
Instead of getting upset about racial issues. You should take a stand. See what the NAACP, have posted and let your voice be heard, or you could simply just write a blog such as I did. It starts with us no race can respect a race that doesn't even respect themselves.
In my opinion there shouldn't be any race issues. God created us all. We are all brothers and sisters. There's isn't going to be a "Whites Only Heaven".
