My 2 Cents Are Priceless: These Damm House Negroes!

So, I was browsing youtube, looking for something to spark my train of thought, and I came across a video audio called "I Am Embarrased By Black People" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Cpj3HApvM). Intrigued by the title, I decided to give it a listen. Now as I was listening to this, a few things came to me. First, his accent. His accent told me that he had to be from the West Indies. And the story he told about the brotha comin' on the train with the mean mug. Homeboy was so terrified of this cat mean muggin', he puts his PSP away! This guy is talkin' about why young men of color always walk around with a hard look on their face? This question is so easy to answer, I'm not even gonna complicate it: New York is known as the Concrete Jungle. The way we move up here is very aggresive & fast, so you gotta be on your Ps & Qs. You see a cat with an ice grill on, so what? Why does it bother you? You think he's tryna "look hard"? You don't know what the next person is goin' thru. Son probably had a bad day. Sometimes you gotta put on the asshole face so people won't test you. Especially in the hood. And there's a chance that the mean muggin' won't work, cause there's gonna be one cat who's gonna try & see if your actions back up that look. It sucks, but that's how it is growin' up in such a dog-eat-dog environment.

And what's even more pitiful is that Homeboy (I'ma call him Shook One) was scared...I understand bein' embarrased, cause we all have that one person in our lives who act or look foolish. But we usually don't shy away from it. We'll be like "That's my (insert title here)...." How can you be scared of another human being who breathes, bleeds & hurt like you? How can you be an Brotherman & be scared of another man? Shook One bein' scared just enforces the stereotype of the "Scary Black Man" that the Anglo-Saxon created...

Then Shook One goes into detail about how he was shoppin' at a discount store, and this young girl (emphasis on the word young) was makin' fun of the fact he was shoppin' at said store...A woman with a walkman who was playin' her music too loud...Wild teens scrappin' at the mall...

I'm not gonna justify each situation, because I know what he's talkin' about & I been in the same situations. Between the shoppin' & those kids scrappin', I expect that from teens in the hood. Give that up to youthful igorance & lack of parenting.
As far as the lady blastin' the music, she's enjoyin' her tunes. Let her be. She's not concerned with what everybody else is doin'. When I'm on the train, I don't give a fuck what everybody else think I look like. I'm in my own zone, iPod in my ears, ice grill on my face. I got my fitted low, my headphones on blast, and I'm rockin' to my music. So I guess I'm an embarrasment to my race, right?

Everybody does have a right to speak their mind & are entitled to an opinion.
But Shook One sounds like a fuckin' idiot.
That's my opinion.

The only thing I got out of his video was he's one of those feet-shuffling negroes who'd easily take the follower's route of talkin' down about his own race, but won't stand up & solve the problems of his community, if called upon to do so. Frontin' like he's down for change, but ain't doin' shit to uplift. I bet he ain't nothin' but good things to say about the other man, but can't find a positive in his own Brotherman...

Seriously, we can do without these types. No matter if they were born here, or emigrated here, they're one of the cancers that's killin' our community!

I'm done...For now.

I'ma House Negro's Worst Nightmare.

Peace & Love to my brothers & sistas who are down for something positive for ALL Afro-Americans, including the niggas. Cause they're our kin, also!
