If you have the time, I would be interested is reviewing posts that I created that showed how I pondered what white folks are doing. |

We must catagorize what blacks you're referencing. There's a segment of black society, that feels if 'whites' are doing it, then, well, it gives them a pass. This mindset is from those who feel they have been 'disinfranchised' by, well said whites. It's a measuring stick for some 'blacks'. A sense of, I've arrived, 'escaped', 'climbed the ladder', etc.. However, the main issue is, when stating, 'whites do it too', then, Does 'aping' the same behavior, make you justifiable in your bad behavior? Why measure yourself by their ladder? If only 'those blacks' spent time fighting against injustices, bettering their own community, setting their own bar, being a better example, then we wouldn't have to worry about what they do or think. As my father said, "I don't care about the Jones, for I am the "Redds". |

We all have a 'book of life' (path) that we must walk. Unfortunately, there are some want the same path as yours, without the hard work and dedication that went into it! They wish to skip some of the steps. Sam, to me, a principle (standard) I use is, If someone is more knowledgeable than I, I learn, I become a member of that team, I hitch my wagon to that horse, I don't become angry or resentful, for this is a sign of 'victimazation'. |

I understand. It makes no sense to become angry or bitter. In the past, I will use my feelings of inadequacy as motivation to make myself better. As I have said before, if doing the right thing was easy, if using discipline & dedication as tools to create success for yourself was easy, then everybody would do it. |

Kenny, You've stated before that you live in a 'white neighborhood', as tho, that's a plus. Why does it matter that your neighborhood is white, why not, I live in a good area? |

Many people, regardless of their color, are fearful. Many people fear success...because they fear failure more than success. Many people have to fail before they can succeed. People go through a few failures, then throw in the towel. Some people get a taste of success, suffer a setback or two, then wallow in self-pity. Some people are so self-defeating, they will put more energy crying about why they had no chance at winning than they ever did in trying to win in the first place. Those same losers will also put more energy into being victims, or wanting to lash out at others for being successful instead of making themselves better. The truth is that such self-defeating people are only motivated by manifesting the concept of the self-fulfilling prophecy. |
