The Answer

-February 10, 2017

I’m not a racist…..At least I try not to be. Today I don’t have many Caucasian friends. That is not by choice, more so by circumstance. Well, I do have a BFF who is half Jew, but we just found this out a year ago. We all assumed she was just extra light skinned. And to this day, she says the N word more than anyone I know, LOL, so she is definitely a Black Jew. As a child, I had white friends and color didn’t matter to us. It mattered more to their parents. They and I moved around a lot, making difficult to maintain our bonds over the years. As an adult, the closest thing I’ve come to a Caucasian buddy is co-workers; and they are pretty fucking cool. Generation Y (a.k.a Millennials) is just a different breed. We are a fair and welcoming generation.I tried to think of the question from their perspective. Not the genuine humans who are down for the cause. I’m referring to those who don’t know about the cause or why today’s negroes are still not satisfied.

Think about all of the unaware and privileged Caucasian Americans. And yes, the blacks are making money too. We know Oprah, Russell Simmons, The Carters, Birdman, Puff Daddy, Master P., and Rihanna are filthy rich. But, notwhite man rich. We even have wealthy blacks who aren’t entertainers. Yes, one could say it is a good time, financially, for blacks in America. But, not good enough. Contrary to the prosperous–for–all days we live in, there is still a vast amount Caucasians who just…don’t…fucking…get it!

One of them says to you,

“I mean it’s 2017! We had a black president for eight damn years! That’s incredible, right? I even voted for him. You all have the same opportunities as us now. Things have changed. I mean there’s still police brutality, but who doesn’t hate cops. Other than that, what is it…that…black people want, exactly? What would make everything right?”
