WHO WE ARE

I have been trying to understand the controversy surrounding Barack Obabma's minister. At first I thought it was just another double-standard that white people have so many of. But then I realized that after 400 years white people don't have a clue as to who we are. Which sort of illuminates something I've been wondering about. Which is why do black people try so hard to make white people like them or accept them. It's because we know subconsciously that they don't have a clue as to what we're about. So we do everything we can to make ourselves as acceptable as possible to them. We fry our hair, we bleach our skin, we force integration on them, which really didn't work. We do everything that they do, create everything in their image, like the Black Greek Societies. We did not come from Greece. Although their are a lot of Greeks that are our cousins, like most everyone from the Mediterranean area. But our ancestors are not from there.
We've tried so hard to be acceptable, over 400 years, and it has not worked. White people know as much about us now than they did 400 years ago.

PEACE.LOVE.HAPPINESS
