Where do We Start?

The Fool has been cogitating again.

The last couple of days the fool has been visiting various and sundry "Black blogs"

just to...you know... get a feel of what's going on in the black community. Contrary to popular white belief, there is no PBN(Psychic Black Network) that we, as a people can tap into. I know, I know. For you white people out there reading this, who have the habit of asking a Black person to define the problems of a whole race, the PBN does not exist. It is a white myth. Sorry to burst your bubble. And please stop asking a Black person what the problem is with Black people. It's racist and embarrassing to the black person being asked. The Black person being asked can only give you his or her opinion as an individual. The operative word here is "individual". And if you still feel that what you say to one Black person, you say to all or that you grew up around Black people(sic), that you have a handle on the black experience and you know Black people.... you are a sadly mistaken racist. The Fool stands behind this statement.

Anyway. (Whew) Back to the subject I was attempting to write about. After spending several hours of time that I will never get back, I noticed a trend running through the blogs that I visited. Namely, the art of whining. Next to the Hebrews, we are world class whiners. Every Blog was dedicated to what the Big Giant Heads(white people) were doing to Black people. Yes, there are a few blogs that attempt to tackle the problems of the black community, but not enough. Where do we start? Where do we, as a people begin? In the fools humble opinion, how about simple respect for each other? Not liking each other... just simple respect. As it stands now, we can't even say "hello" to each other without getting cussed out by our women or shot by our men. Saying hello to another man does not mean you are gay nor does "hello" to a women mean, "I want to fuck you". (well most of the time anyway)

It's a start in the right direction, because even as the Fool writes this, another generation is coming along. It's not too late to teach them some simple respect for their fellow human beings. It's not too late to teach them that there is a future for them. It's not???.....???? Oh Lawdy, the Fool is preaching here!! The Fool knows how you Negroes hate to be preached to. That's why the Fool went up on the hill and never came back down. Let me roll on over here, get comfortable and check out the clouds rolling in.
