Priorities (Internal vs. External)

2/3/2016

In this discussion we talk about balancing the external struggles of the community with the internal struggles. A great discussion that should be had in every community in the country. Listen in and remember to have your own when you finish.

It's a revolving unending cycle that plays over and over again like a broken record. How does it end, who ends it and how?

Also ... I have had to forgive a lot of Black men in my own life in order to get to the bigger picture of white supremacy, which concerns me more.

True enough, women are responsible for who they mate with; however, self-esteem of Black women plays a huge role in this ... so many Black women being told they are "ugly" or worthless and useless lends to their willingness to turn themselves over to bad relationships just to feel like they MIGHT be human like any other woman in the world.

As they said back in my day "A piece of a man is better than no man at all."

I had to stand up to that -- and maybe it was too late for me by the time I realized I was worth more than I had been told I was; but I hit back:

"No, no man at all is better than a piece of a man; because I am incapable of being a 'piece' of a woman."

Fists up, lady! I didn't hear the adage, but I saw it at work and see it now in women holding on to men they know cheat, lie, steal....not one of us can climb out alone, so the fact that it might be too late for me now is the necessary sacrifice I'll take on just to have the experiences I have to share with women who mirror me during those darker times.
Ftr, tho, my mom is 64 and swerve-licious, so hope lives...lol

Burn off. Seriously.

That's all I said: "How come the folks in Flint didn't notice for two WHOLE years that there was brown and orange water coming out of the taps?"

What could have been going on in their minds and personal and interpersonal lives that the WHOLE FAMILIES and COMMUNITIES didn't have their feet ALL TOGETHER in Gov Snyder's "ass" when it first happened?
