African
Americans (aka Black People Once know as Negros and Colored People) are too
focused on being oppressed by "racists" institutions. I'm not saying there is no oppression by various
public and private institutions. What I
am saying is we are too focused on someone or some institution that is oppressing
and disrespecting African Americans.
Our
"leaders", celebrities, and media producers and personalities should
have us more focused on the subjects of health, family, education, business, and
creating generational wealth. African
American preachers, politicians and especially radio host should be redirecting our mind set so we resolved
the challenges we face as a people. The
masses of African Americans, especially
low income and working class African Americans need our "leaders" to
lead us way from a constant crisis and grievance mode.
Maybe the
African American leaders, celebrities, media producers, preachers, politicians,
and radio personalities are unknowingly or knowingly a part of the oppression
of African Americans.
