You Think I'm Racist?
What's up everyone? Hope you all are doing well today and enjoying this holiday weekend. Over the past few months, I've become a bit more vocal about race issues here in America, as it relates to blacks and the injustice that is often experienced by my people. Today, while debating about the Michael Brown situation in Ferguson, Missouri, a fellow accused me of being racist and said that I'm apart of the problem, simply because I used the words, "my people." I couldn't believe it, and actually found it funny after I read the comment. I think there's a huge misconception about me and other people like me who are discussing these issues, and some people don't truly understand our stance. I believe the misconception here is that we as black people, can't be all about preaching power to our people, uplifting our people, awakening our people, and fighting for equality for our people, without also not hating white people. It sounds ridiculous
