I love BEING black.

arrrrrgh....

A couple of days ago, I accidentally stumbled onto a Facebook page titled, " I love being BLACK". Nothing could've prepared me for what came next. It just so happened there were white members in this group. And people were losing it. Literally. Many of the the black fans wanted absolutely zero white members on that list. Some were even saying things like" How come , we black people can't have nothing to ourselves."

In all honesty , we all want to put racism behind us for good. There was one particular white fan who was literally fighting to stay in the group, citing that racism was a thing of the past and we should all get along. I totally understood where he was coming from and I believe we should let the past be the past, even though racism still exists today.

But is racism truly a thing of the past? Or do we do like Buddha who says, " The mind creates the reality"....

  1. I AGREE, I THINK WE SHLD ALL PUT RACISM BEHIND US BUT THE ONLY WAY THAT CAN HAPPEN IS IF WE ALL ACCEPT THAT IT DOES EXIST AND POSSIBLY WILL ALWAYS EXIST AMONGST CERTAIN PEOPLE. ONCE WE ALL AGREE TO THAT THEN WE CAN BEGIN TO WORK ON THE PROBLEM CONSCIOUSLY AND TOGETHER AS A SOCIETY.
