The weird part is that people like this lady only get their positions because of their race, but try to deemphasize race. If you're a black person, and are willing to sell out your own people or play to white ignorance, you get more money and attention than a black person who takes a black positive position. If a white person had written something this vapid, they probably wouldn't have taken this crap, because we could all see it for the clap trap that it was. But because it's a black person selling this shit, they put her on. I'd like to say again- shame on sell outs.

We don't need a bunch of claptrap assuring white people that everything's fine, massa, and all the other darkies are just lying. You know how they are, massa. Fuck that slave shit. If slavery is so over, why do these people have to suck the white man's fucking dick to get some mainstream coverage? Of course, there are a lot of intelligent progressive publications featuring black voices, but that's not what most people pick their world view from.

I'd like to warn black folk- don't let white folk create your view of what you are, and what you can be. They start lying, saying all the black folk but you are lazy and stupid, you're special- don't believe them. Trying to be the 'special negro' seems like a good way to fracture yourself and ruin your integrity. Folks say that all black folk can't learn, challenge them. They say we don't read books? Look at all the black books being published now, and tell them how much they lie.

Folks say slavery is good, and that we should be grateful? Don't accept that lie. We can live just fine not under someone else's thumb, thank you. Don't rely on the white man to educate you about your history. Even the most kind, open minded white person up in the classroom may not be able to get you to what you need to know! I'm not saying blacks are automatically superior teachers, but it's really hard to get past all those lies they are told, especially the part about how black people and culture are inferior, and that they are superior.

Don't let anyone tell you that you don't matter, you don't count, and that your concerns are not important. Who the fuck are they to try to set your agenda? You set your own agenda.
