First off Rico since you are so interested first let me list some things I do like about America is the diverse black community. I come from a majority black island, it is easy to make bond with people because of shared experiences but I absolutely love that I can bond with other people that lived in America, Africa, and South America. To find common ground, to share stores, and practice brotherhood with look that not only look like me but come from worlds away
But let me balance out this post, how about something I don't like. And since we are speaking in the realm of the black community let me discuss something I have found unique to America that I didn't get exposed to in Lucia. To even expand on that I am thankful for the large group of diverse people I have been able to practice brotherhood with. Whether they be white, black, Latino, Asian, Jewish, Muslims, Mormon, you name it
Black cowardice
Black cowardice is talking about how great your mother's island is in one breath but admitting that you would be to uneducated, to unskilled, and to unable to manifest yourself out of poverty if your were born down there. Black cowardice is being in your mid 30s, leeching off welfare you claim you don't need, for your entire adult life, just because your too scared to enter the free market and make a way for your own self. Black cowardice is bragging about making it to the middle class like you "doing it", and thinking other people are actually be envious of you. Black cowardice is claiming you earned the government assistance that has made your life possible just because you or a member of your family is in some way special. Black cowardice is living viciously though your "cuzzo" to make it seem like you bull **** opinion hold more weight. Black cowardice is buying all kinds of trinkets to fill a gloried dorm room like they are trophies because in reality that is all you have achieved in life.
But most off all black cowardice is kissing the *** of the dominant society because LAWD KNOWS! you would be no where without them. And black cowardice is keeping yourself ignorant about the socioeconomic forces affecting people that look just like you because that would be physically of mentally removing yourself from the safe space that you have built yourself.
So there, I love the friends i have made and people I have met in America. I would have not have met them otherwise. That you America for that
However I loathe having to deal with cowardly man children that try their best to delude themselves that they are somehow special.
To steal from loaded Lux "these dudes ain't killers, they just just a bunch of lost cowardly ******"
But I guess after 2020 I don't have to deal with with this type of "black" cowardice anymore
