TwoCents | IRONIC VICTIM MENTALITY OF THE FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICAN

One thing I would tell you about Kanye is, there is no one like him. Man just knows how to sell himself and let his confidence flow without apologies. I once watched a video of him where he was asked why he stopped talking about "the culture" and he said he has turned his back on it because it celebrates things that lead you down a rabbit hole and there is no accountability (this is me interpreting what he said, it's a whole other vibe when you see it). He said the culture talks about "guns and shooting up a block" and got rappers talking about things that could get them locked up, then when they are released, they start touting "gun control and prison reform". Ironic, right? I totally agree 💯 Because why in God's name would you think that any of that is acceptable and then cry "oppression" I believe he was right when he said "slavery was a choice" and you can see the evidence of it everyday. Maybe the statement was a little controversial but let us examine some scenarios. First of all, have you ever heard that someone would come into your house and just make you a slave unless you have them access? Me neither If the "White Man" had the confidence to come and buy people from your country and in exchange, gave you a few shiny things, it means that is the idea you had sold to him. It means slavery was already prevalent. The idea that "we were all kings" is a facade because if we were all kings, who was being ruled? And who sold who to the white man? Let's jump to spending ability. A Foundational Black American would save up, wait in the queue to get the new pair of Jordans or whatever shoe brand was out, or the latest Chanel bag just to "look rich", while going back to sleep in a trailer or whatever dump he or she lives in. Then you tout "generational wealth" and how you are not getting enough allocation because the whites see you as less than. Have you taken a good look at your financial habits? What are your priorities? Or is it the music and over sexualized portrayal of your race which you seemingly enjoy and also complain about? Because why on earth are you getting a BBL every two working days, or draping yourself in all the gold or icy chains you can find just to portray a certain look? Why would you boast about shooting up a "nigga" or "bitch'' if they blink wrong, yelling"thug life" like it's supposed to be some sort of litany to the gods? Then you complain about getting shot by the cops, when the rate at which you kill yourselves is higher. You boast about it, you join gangs for whatever dumb reason and kill rival gangs just because. How about stop celebrating silly stuff and calling it "ART" because you desecrate that word on a daily.  Or is it the normalization of drug crimes and drug lords(well you get a pass because the Mexicans are the major players)but my goodness, have you seen the content displayed on the Shade room? The normalization of babymamas and absentee father's is appalling and the "ho" culture being celebrated(Diddy) is one for the books. What about when you find your fellow "black person" or "brotha or sista' going to school, getting a decent job and talking well, and earning well and you start mocking them or calling them names like "coon", "sellout" "corny" or say they are "talking white"? How about they are pronouncing the words well and not twisting it to what you deem necessary?Just two weeks ago, NORE of Drinkchamps podcast complained that the Black entertainers would always prefer to go to white news outlets to promote their stuff, instead of coming to black media.But why won't they? When you invite them on your show, it is to ask them questions that do not relate to their music, in a bid to stir up controversy and get "views". There is clearly a difference between white and black interviewers in terms of comfort and professionalism. Not everyone is comfortable with that and when they react, you say they aren't being "real".  Okay Real Housewife 🌝🌚😒😒Which brings me to my next point in these so called "reality shows" that help promote and reiterate the stereotypes you claim you do not like. All for entertainment and the paper, right? Yeah🌚 Or is it the racism displayed just as much, especially when you insult people who have the same skin tone as you, just because they are not in America, and when you get hit, you throw your silly hands in the air, and play the victim card? (Tariq, I see you dropout) You can be just as racist, even to "wypipo" as you call them Caucasians. Now, I am not saying the Whites are innocent in any of what has happened to the Blacks, because they have done a whole lot of nonsense and "Karens" are walking around scot free but can we actually do some introspection? Charity, we are told, begins at home, so why not start being accountable to yourselves and probably see how well things would pan out for you. The change starts from you and evolves. What did I forget to mention? How silly have these tantrums been and how long have they gone on? Or how wrong am I?
