  1. This stuff has my mind so f'd up. I get angry, sad, and sometimes don't know how to feel about those folks for what they did to my ppl. Its still happening.

  2. There's a bunch of Black lawyers doing the hard work in the community, just like this news channel doing its job. For instance, Ben Crump has the national platform right now, but there's 100s of Black attorneys in every city taking on race discrimination cases, representing criminal defendants, etc..

  3. They still lazy to this day. Do the bare minimum at work but get all the credit for being mediocre. Every job I have had it was always the black employees doing most of the work while they did the bare minimum if they worked at all. Companies will put an unqualified white person in charge and have those managers asking us how to do their job instead of just putting one of us into the position. Or we will have to train our own boss. Make it make sense.

  4. Hey Phil that goes the same for the ladies. Ladies, If a guy approaches you, you don't have to be nasty, just to turn a man down. If you're not interested politely tell them thank you, no. Even if they become belligerent, keep your kool because, that just might be his 50th rejection and the night he snaps. Then what?

  5. I remember one day while I was at work. I was approached by one of those folks to solve a problem. When I presented my solution, I was told that I was LAZY, because I didn't do it the way they suggested. I must have had a flash back of an ancestor because, I was pissed. All day long, all I could think of was those folks, on top of their horses, degrading my ancestors cracking their whips, calling them lazy. To this day that still bothers me.

  6. I grew up with out mom the wemon im the hood was black some they new i had no mom they were good people now i don't know feed me many times house clean black moms beat it in there kids head to get through school
