Black vs Afro-descendant (with video)

Wanna start this off by making a shout out to the consistent readers, the subscribers, those who support me on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blog-The-Ugly-Truth/172853439408795), those who share my work with others, and etc....I really appreciate and love you all! If this takes off and ultimately gets me somewhere I def. owe it all to you :)

Now to jump right into it... here's a video :)

So what did you guys think? Kinda rushed? Yeah, it was slightly difficult to squeeze everything I had on the topic into that 10 time frame however I DID get a lot of information out there. Basically all of that is to say that petty things divide us as a people (Afro-descendant) and also as a bigger people (Human beings). It's important for us to work out our issues individually as it relates to personal security in terms of who we are to ourselves and to others. This term "black" to describe a people is intercepted different ways by different people in different parts of the world. It's important to be sensitive to one's feelings as it relates to THEIR individual beliefs about who they are and what they believe in. Similarly to discussion on religion and God...It's almost a battle that you cannot win. The focus should be on the similarities rather than the differences and no judgement should be passed in order to live most harmoniously and in accord with one another. Black IS NOT an equivalent term to someone of African (or partial African) descent; at least not in most places outside of the US. Black is black and was created as a means to deal with issues, hurts, and identity issues in America. Take heed and do not project self hate, lack of education/ignorance, or personal LEARNED biases on people. Entertain the thought that the ancestor 500+ years ago that landed on what is now American soil had a brother who landed on a latin American or carribean countries soil and that your ancestor in this country may very well be related to someone else's in another making you FAMILY. Petty issues of race and origin as it compares to others aren't often concepts I stress or preoccupy myself with as Man is MAN and we all bleed red and return to the ashes and dust we came from when our physical time on this planet has expired. Be blessed people...peace, light, and love!
