So many times Black people in this country have historical-amnesia when it comes to showing their allegiance to a country. Sure We built this country, but this land is not Our's. Daily we are reminded we do not count in this society, yet I see Black "patriots" fighting tooth & nail to keep this American dream of a nightmare alive. We ignore the struggle and brush it off as a necessary fight although no other group of people had/have a plight quite like Our's besides the people native to America and they're damn near all gone. We let those Willie Lynch tactics effect/affect Us and even embraced them as remedies for problems we didn't even create. We'll blame the lack of Black fathers in our daughters' lives as a factor when it comes to teenage pregnancy, when it's not solely the Black father's fault he's not present and teenage pregnancy started with Massa raping Our teenage ancestors in the barn creating these light-of-skin Negro boys & girls whom We've been groomed to hate; where do you think Light versus Dark skinned people started in the Black community??? That shit is nuture not nature, but anyway... My whole premise is coming from an angle which is trying to force Black Americans with this patriotic bullshit attitude to seriously take a look into American History and exactly what it has done For Us and To Us. Check your ingredients before you rock that vote and be sure to hold that candidate accountable. Imma sit this one out, y'all have fun... Peace!

Man, this country has grown WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY larger than at anytime when there was working slaves. That is unless u call modern workers slave, which i do, then i can understand ur point. If something happened ten years ago, and its dead, then why do we blame that for our amnesia?
