NOTICE TWO THINGS:
[1[ Rate my question - Up or down

[2] Why do we call them bad leaders, when actually there are thousands following them?
-How come we call someone a bad leader when many others think he/she is the best leader?

It's a confusing question, I hope you try to give me an answer :)

This guy is obviously a racist bigot. But he's absolutely right, and it's kind of sad that people in the "Greatest Country in the World" still have this type of mindset. This may offend some, so don't read if you don't want to be hurt by the truth. I got this from someone a couple months ago, so it didn't actually happen THIS morning.

For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee was reading this morning on a New York radio station. For those of you who didn't hear it, this is very deep and true! BLACKS DON'T READ. This is a heavy
piece and a Caucasian wrote it.


THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES we can continue to reap profits from the Blacks without the effort of physical slavery. Look at the current methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED,
and SELFISHNESS.

Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, 'The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in
a book." We now live in the Information Age. They have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, not to mention their own Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to reach economic equality (which should have been their fight all along), but few read consistently, if at all.

GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal.
Last year they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of Their 450 billion dollars in total yearly income (2.22%). Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it. Being primarily a
consumer people, they function totally by greed. They continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing. They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a business. Some even neglect their

children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, and they still
think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them "Status" or that they have achieved the American Dream. They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty because their greed holds them back from collectively making better communities. With the help of
BET, and the rest of their black media that often broadcasts destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to see huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike. Tommy Hilfiger has even jeered them, saying he
doesn't want their money, and look at how the fools spend more with him than ever before). They'll continue to show off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits from our businesses that we market to them.

SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the Major ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois said that there was an innate division in their culture. A "Talented
Tenth" he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of their culture that has achieved some "form" of success.
However, that segment missed the fullness of is work. They didn't read that the "Talented Tenth" was then responsible to aid the Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life, Instead, that segment has
created another class, a Buppie class that looks down on their people or aids them in a condescending manner. They will never achieve what we have. Their selfishness does not allow them to be able to work together
on any project or endeavor of substance. When they do get together, their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their goal. Their so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their name without making any real change in their community. They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels, and talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best speakers, not the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness?

They steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM)! They do not understand that they are no better than each other of what they own in
fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two paychecks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of our pens in our offices and our rooms. Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to read, continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking
they are "helping" their communities by paying dues to organizations which do little other than hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don't worry about any of them reading this letter, remember,
THEY DON'T READ!!!! BLACKS DON'T READ"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As being Black I feel this just proves that although times have changed but the mindset is still there...

..The unresonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself, therefor, all progress depends on the unreasonable man". Do you think this is more true today than ever before?

Some white people on Yahoo Answers always complain about other races playing the race card, and yet some of us play the race card also.

When white people complain about affirmative action, they are playing the race card. You're saying that you didn't get the job because you're white.

I like people in general, but for the past 2 years, I've been frequently having dreams involving me getting into fights with other people. Then most of the time I'd wake up sweating. I can't control my dreams, and they happen the way they do. Does anyone else have smiliar dreams, and what do you think they mean?

As just one example, people will ask where I live. It’s a normal question but when I answer the general area then it seems they pick out a landmark and try to hone in even closer ie: is that over by XYZ? My cousin lives on... Is that by... Oh over by the lake? On and on. If I am at a social event meeting new people that I may or may not become friends with, how do I answer the question about where I live without letting them hone in too close? If you’ve ever had a stalker you know you don’t want to give out too much information on yourself to people. I don’t want to seem Abby Normal for not answering, but I don’t want to be pin-pointed either. I’m reluctant to lie because then if I do become friendly with these people it will come up and it’s just too weird to have initially lied about where I live. I don’t want to keep track of lies and I don’t want to give out information and I don’t want to seem odd. That’s a lot of don’t wants. Can you help me? Oh yeah, I drive a distinctive vehicle that I can’t hide in a garage so if I answer the general vicinity it’s enough to “out” me.

Often being drunk you say stuff that you regret. We've all done it! said something to our friends that is hurtful etc. But do you think that when we're drunk what we say in this situation is rubbish influenced by our intoxication. OR is it what we REALLY think, and would never say in a face to face normal situation.

So in short, is mouthing off at people when you're drunk a load of meaningless nonsense, or being a bit Too honest?

For me it is to make a living wage. I do not require wealth, own a home or jet set about. Just a living wage, health care, a car that isn't a death trap, to pay my bills, and have a little money left over to go out on the weekend, take a class, a vacation once a year, and save for retirement. I am in my forties, well educated and skilled but have not been able to even get close to that small dream.. Why...becuze the American dream is dead...unless you are a money letching corporate whore... enuff said....

Are women to blame for the way that they are regarded - as sex objects worthy of nothing but hoovering and cooking? I see all these women, dressed in miniskirts showing their asses that complain when they get treated as a piece of meat by men. I don't blame men for the way that women are often portrayed, I blame women.

Comments please :)
