Here’s an interesting posting from that blog:

As a recovered black nationalist (that use to condone this type of behavior by other black folks), I just shake my head. Because there is always some “incident” that causes “the races” to make sweeping indictments. I respectfully disagree with you TM about the cause of the fury. The cause is self-hatred. A self-hatred that is started many moons ago with slavery and was perpetuated by black folks throughout the decades. Let me tell y’all something. Non-blacks can’t fathom at times the DEPTH of black self-hatred. It has caused the light-skinned/dark-skinned black folk divide. The “black hair in its natural state is ugly” view with the black community. And it feeds into these false crusades against a perceived enemy. “I hate myself so I really don’t give a damn about someone else”. Now anyone can have self-hatred. But it is an undercurrent throughout the black community.
That’s why I absolutely HATE what Sharpton and Jackson did. It’s very easy to whip up those who have no love of self. And then those “whipped up” become heat-seeking missiles. But hey, it can be overcome. Happens all the time. We black folks are an emotional and expressive lot in general. Works for and against us at times. But in the end, it adds to the wonderful culture of America. Except when stoked “black leadership” for “gain”.
WOW!
He is absolutely right. I know for a fact that blacks do not like dark skinned blacks and will call them derogatory names for such, and they will also make fun of a black person with “nappy hair”.
I heard and seen this with my own eyes directly.
I hope he does more than just shake his head ... and I pray that people pay more attention to folks like him, and less to violent racist demagogues like jackson and sharpton.
