It is said that we are living in a time when the black race is the black race’s greatest threat. There was once a time when black people united. During the time of this unification, they created a world where they helped each other achieve great success. Since this time, the black race has become more separated than it had ever been. Certainly, police brutality has diminished our numbers, but we have not helped with our lack of respect for each other.
Society has fooled us into thinking that if you are of mixed ethnicity, you are somehow better than the rest. This has created segregation and a lack of respect within the community. This lack of respect has prevented us from working together to achieve success and operate at our highest potential.
If we expect to gain respect and be treated better by other races we need to lead by example. We can achieve great things, but we need to work together as a community. We need to get to a place where we have mutual respect within our communities.
