Another person cannot keep you down...

...unless you let them. In our daily lives there are people who constantly think the world owes them something from long ago. Then there are people who are mature enough to know that holding on to any of that silliness, just serves to keep it going.

If you notice, in this world, the people who holler the loudest about being "kept down by the white man", are the ones who have nothing better to do then whine, because it's easier than being productive.

If you want to be a productive citizen, then what you do is take away the "power" you claim the "white man" has over you by:

Going to school and learning to speak correctly, instead of always using 'slang', or some other sort of language that you claim gives you your 'identity', but sets you apart from the same world that you claim you want to be a part of.

Having a job, and doing it to the best of your ability when you are there. When you ARE there, not talking about how much you hate it, always asking whether it is time for your break, or why you have to "stay late". You DO it because that is what ADULTS do, and they know that whining, talking about your personal life, and snarling at co-workers are NOT good work ethics.

Taking the best care of your children, and when they want to play, you PLAY! When they need food, clothing, medicine, to be bathed, or to be given help with their homework, THEN THAT IS WHAT YOU DO!!!!! NOT be mad because they won't go to sleep, or get upset because your mother won't "keep the kids" for the FOURTH time that week, so you can get "get away" and go out. You WERE "away" BEFORE you had kids, but YOU decided to become, or get someone else, pregnant, and these are the things that come with that choice. If you're not prepared enough for that, then keep that nickel between your knees!

I said all that to say this....If you WANT to do something positive with your life, no one can stop you but YOU. because if you put all that same energy you use to complain about the white man, to good use by being a good student, employee, employer, parent, friend co-worker, business owner, or anything else you want to be, then all of the people who you think are trying to "keep you down" will have to STAND UP, and applaud, because there will be no more ammunition left for them to "keep you down" with, because you will have ARRIVED!

Now do with it what you will. There is really nothing else to complain about unless you just like to complain for the sake of complaining. If you still DO complain, then there is no more hope for you. ....until you grow up. It is up to you.

Sound advice, my friend; Many don't realise where the real problem is until they look in the mirrir! I know it took me quite awhile to figure that one out and I'm still working on it on a daily basis. Nice post!

Excellent post. Had to chuckle as I did a little whining myself today. I am glad no one heard me, and I WILL remember your words!

Where's all of the "racist and bigot" callers??.....Oh My GOD.....A woman of color speaks the truth and nobody is calling you any nasty names??...Yet.......Could it be that you have some education, and that maybe your parents payed attention to you and your future,and maybe you payed some attention to your future?...Bravo!!....

LOL! I'd like to think so Reverend. I just try to say what's on my mind without being accusatory, or calling names. If it opens eyes, hearts and minds along the way, then I guess I feel like maybe I have contributed something positive to a discussion.

Thanks Reverend!

Amen to your post mrshubbyd.

As far as the RACE BAITERS comments. He is one of the people that needs to grow up. Same rant every thread, it gets tiresome. Nobody would call you or this thread any names. The only people creating constant division among people is idiots that have to post where's the racists & bigots? My answer to him is, LOOK IN THE MIRROR. If he truly cared about what you posted, he wouldn't of wanted to DIVERT your point with this trash.

But your entire post was right on.

Rev. Circa, you have been duly chastized by the infamous Longsnot, so take your thoughts and be off or MRS. HITLER will delete your posts like she does whenever someone disagrees with her one sided ways of thinking.

Mrshubbyd, since we haven't made your life miserable for awhile, let us play devils advocate here. We disagree with you and your analogy of the poor downtrodden, slang speaking, baby making, non employee product of today's society.
Tell us in simple words how you personally would take all the young men and women in detroit, get them out of the slums and neighborhoods, into a school where they can change their heritage dialect they've learned from their homes and street life, clean them up, find "white man's clothing" to help them look the part, train them in a certifyable field, get them all jobs, and allow all these youngsters to become productive members of society????

We're waiting, Mrshubbyd. Please enlighten us.

Great post ! I can't help but noticing that those whinning voices you hear the most come from very wealthy people , that don't seem to have real jobs . They have used their race baiting to gain vast amounts of wealth for themselves , as well as a lot of free noteriety at others expense .

Thank you Longshot!

Thank you too Hazard, and I completely agree!

I don't know where the TheMiDevils get their unfounded, self-gratifying "information". I think in the entire time I have been posting, that I have deleted only ONE post they made, (there were many, many more I COULD have deleted because they are so long, and usually make no sense) but that was because they just got more repetitive as they went on. It had nothing to do with "disagreeing with their er, uh, "point of view".

Anyway, from now on, when, and IF they post, I will simplyly ignore them, no matter how EASY they make it to ridicule them, (and they DO make it EASY heh-heh!)

Believe me, there are tons of posts that should be deleted, perhaps because of some of the language on these types of networks, but none should be deleted simply because of opposing points of view. Some may do it, and that is their choice, but I am not one of them.

If, and when, I DO delete, it will never be because someone "disagrees" with me. It will be because the post shows their STUPIDITY, and that will be it, plain and simple.

Take care to all of those who show common sense when they post, and have meaningful debates, and discussions, (even when disagreeing). Keep it up guys!!

So maybe if WE ALL ignore the likes of those who think they are "getting" to us, they will realize how stupid they sound on all fronts, and find something to do that they are BETTER at, than posting messages. Eventually they will grow up. Probably not SOON, but EVENTUALLY!!

Mrshubbyd's, the remark was not intended for you, so put your hackles back down. If you will for just one second sit down, breathe in, and read the replies to your post from the beginning, you will notice that RevCirca made the comment:
Where's all of the "racist and bigot" callers?

The next post (other than your reply to RevCirca) was from LongSNOT. Her comment was:
As far as the RACE BAITERS comments. He is one of the people that needs to grow up..

We had not even posted a reply at this point, so since she brought up the evil comment that she relies on, we posted a reply under hers.

She has shown herself to be a one sided, stupidly arrogrant, and self centered to only her views, and with that, she will delete any replies to her posts that she deems will make her view right.

So you see Mrshubbyd's, we were merely trying to be "NICE" to you with a questionable banter on how you would correct the problem. But immediately, you hyperventilated, jump to a conclusion that wasn't true, and assumed that we were in error.

Look in the mirror Mrshubbyd's, for it's you that needs to apologize for your error. Now, no more niceties for you.

Point taken. I can definitley admit when I'm wrong, and if that was indeed the case, then I DO owe you an apology. You did however, try to take a "jab" at me in your post, as if I was trying to have all the "answers". I do not, and I am now "enlightening" you, as you asked.

I sincerely apologize, and thank you for pointing out my error in judgement.

And in reference to your other statement, I am not trying to "save the world", I am merely saying (in regards to a messageboard post from yesterday, I simply added it here as well, as I often do) that people should stop trying to blame others for their situations. You have to take control of your OWN life, and stop blaming "the white man" (which a lot of people of color tend to do). If you feel that he is "keeping you down" then you have to take away his "power" and quit blaming his ancestors for all your woes, and get down to the business of doing your best, and making the best life possible for yourself, and those around you.

Again, to bite your own spiteful tongue, we at no time said that you were out to save the world. We asked a simple question, and you so far have side stepped it twice.

Tell us how a young girl or boy (black for an example) who was born and raised in the projects where Mom and Dad had 2-3-4-5-6- other children, who didn't have a dime, who relied on welfare, AFDC, food stamps, Medical Aid and a countless other areas of charity, who never slept on a bed, was always hungry, who watched the drug dealers wearing their gold teeth and gold chains and riding around in their pimp daddy cars, how that young person is going to get out? Go to a trade school? How? They haven't gotten an education to teach them how to fill out a resume'. Clothes for an interview? How? They don't own a dime. How do they get to that job interview, if they can even find a job in their neighborhood? City Bus? How? They don't have a penny to their names. They haven't eaten. They don't have soap or shampoo or deodorant or tooth paste. You may have been born in a family that wasn't from inner city so you probably don't know the struggles, but we grew up watching most of our relatives struggle while living in that condition and it was not a picture anyone wants to grow up seeing. So, don't enlighten us. Simply tell us the answers to the questions above, MrsSnippity.

As a matter of fact, I DID grow up struggling in "that kind of a neighborhood" and know EXACTLY it feels like...FIRST HAND. What I DID have however, was a Mom who cared enough to walk to work, go without lunch, put US under the blankets when there weren't enough to go around when the heat was off, and who gave the food to US when it was in short supply. I also had a mother who taught us that nothing was going to be handed to you, and that you would have to work your a$$ off if you wanted to get anywhere in this life.

As for the comment you are making about the poor children who have parents who would rather go out get their hair and nails done, rather than make sure their children have better fitting shoes, lunch money, and help with their homework, I honestly can't speak for them. I wish I could.

If I could take ALL of those children to a place where they could be cared for, and taught about love, kindness, respect, and that they matter, I would do it. But, I alone, do not have the resources to take them in. I have even offered at schools to come in and give talks to parents, children, whatever I might be able to do, but I was turned down FLAT, because I don't have a degree, and they couldn't be sure that the help I might give, would be appropriate. So, I HAVE tried.

As a sidenote, (if you ever bother to read the ENTIRE post), the whole reason I wrote this particular blog, was in response to a person who was upset because a lot of the ADULT posters were throwing the "slavery" thing in his face, and blaming the "white man" for "keeping them down". My initial post

My initial post was in reponse to a poster who had a lot of ADULT poster who were throwing the "slavery" thing at him, and blaming his ancestors for something he had nothing to do with. So it isn't about the children who have to live in these horrible conditions. It is about the ADULTS who always want to blame someone ELSE for their problems, rather than get up, get out there, and make it better for themselves.

Now, I am done responding to your silly posts, under the guise of you trying get an "answer" to a question that you perceive me to be "sidestepping". You should know what you are talking about before you get into someone else's conversation.

And FYI, I don't "sidestep" a DAMN thing, and it is just another idiotic attempt by you, to get a 'rise" out of me, since that's the only way you can get your "jollies".

You can attempt to keep this silliness going if you like, but I will not be a part of it. Now, if you want to act like an adult, and ask a REAL question, then bring it to the table. If not, well...
