People should just treat others decently, and cheerfully if they please. Black people are awesome though cause they can take a joke, and get you back with one.

In the movie Avatar - the Aliens would greet one another that way "I see you." I saw a lot of parells with Africa in the movie though people tend to say the Aliens are like Native Americans.

[teacherofculture]

well Native Americans are like Africans. so it's really no different.

wow PREACH IT! I'm am heading to class now to do a speech on Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome. I was a little nervous at first but after seeing this it has made me more enthused about spreading the word...Slavery isnt over, it live on in the mind of the afflicted.....and just imagine only 533 views meanwhile "whip it like a slave" has over 16,000 hits.

The child will be bad because that is the label that has been place upon him/her and a child usually becomes the victim of whatever box he/she is placed in during childhood and usually grows up in that same box.

[DjehutiAuset]

Now that we see what this is and what the culprit was....It is the perfect time to break the cycle and to start praising our children, listening to them start treating them like they do matter and for christ sake STOP CALLING THE KIDS BAD because whether you know it or not you are creating a very low standard for your child by the frequently used phraise...."He Bad as Hell!! "

The "black Johnny" story illustrates why Black folks cannot stand to see other black folks be happy, do well or be successful. We see it as a form of abandonment.

[Azzaiel]
