Is this what Black Americans are as a ppl. One woman said that she doesn't want her sons to date and marry anybody Black because she wants some "pretty" mixed grandchildren children. Another Black man who brags about how he can pass for another race. And hates anybody who is darker than a paper bag. Another Black man who hates Africa and anything that reminds him of it including dark-skinned African women.

I truly believe that all the problem in the Black community are because of Black ppl not loving themselves. A.I.D.S/H.I.V, drug abuse, single parent families, and poverty, I truly believe stem from Black ppl not loving themselves and who we are. Not seeing ourselves as beautiful.

All joking and insults aside. It really saddens me to see an group of ppl with such low self-esteem. But it "runs deep". I wish that one day you ppl see will see that you are truly beautiful and start to "cherish" who you are as a ppl.

400 years of mental and social conditioning and I hope (but I don't think it will happen in my lifetime) that Black ppl will wake up and see themselves for who they are. A beautiful race of ppl.

BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Totally agree.

My questions is, what do you suggest we collectively do to change things for the better?

Don't know. I don't know how to get ppl to love themselves. Maybe they need psychiatry. It's a sad sad situation tho.

Serenasailor,

Love of black image and likeness is KEY to solving our problems. The dominate race is motivated by envy to destroy our image, and we, in turn, internalize their contempt, making it our own. First the ancestors resisted, but now we embrace the treachery which was/is/shall be meant to destroy us.

Well-articulated...
