We as people are heavily confused. Someone or something and I will not give all credit to the Serpent, has convinced us that we are immortal powerful beings that deserve something in this life. I have seen too many people with their hands out & their wallets open.
Life is not free. In the realm of heaven and earth you are nothing alone. You are not strong, you are not intelligent…you are a feeble shell of the Creator and only through Him do you have greatness and worth.
Too many people are expecting life to give them something. Too many people are expecting me to give them something. I owe you nothing. The world owes you nothing. Your family owes you nothing. Some of you have the audacity to make a mistake and assume that I should help you out, or give you some type of break because you made a bad decision. My mother told me when I was kid and only when I got older did it make sense – “When people are nice, they don’t have to be nice to you.”
Example of people who think life should give you a break; A woman and a man willing, acknowledging the consequences, lie down & create a child out of wedlock. The woman or man has to work two jobs and go to school, or pay daycare costs or some extraordinary tasks to maintain the health of that child. Is that my fault? Is that society’s dilemma that you chose to make your life difficult to enjoy a few minutes of fun? No, I will not pat you on your back & say good job. No I don’t have to acknowledge you at all. Should we celebrate that a crackhead has gone to rehab? Should we grant a three-time felon a pardon because after the third time they won’t commit crime anymore?
Our society is backwards and we reward mistakes and bad decisions. The girl who keeps her legs closed (or uses protection, whatever) until her wedding day and creates a family under the natural order receives nothing. Where is her employment assistance, or her discounted housing, or free daycare? For being of sound mind and making good decisions she receives no applause or accolades.
The kids who work hard consistently in high school and their parents “make too much money” (but not enough to keep them from working part-time in school so they can eat), aren’t eligible for grants and other scholastic assistance. They don’t get a bunch of state –aid and money for being the 1st kid in their family to go to college.
The welfare system has destroyed a generation of African-Americans. There is a reason the system was designed to give you more for doing less (making more babies & not becoming self-sufficient). This mentality has driven men to easy money and just “getting by.” Why finish school and get a decent job, when you can be diagnosed as “crazy” and get more money a month than a working man does?
Life is a blessing. It is a gift as are all things we claim during our stay on earth. We are not owed 40 acres and a mule. We are not owed slavery reparations. We are not owed a “special minority discount” to get into college. We have been blessed with freedom. The same freedom and access to capitalism and power that “the Man” has, we have.
If you are reading this you are probably enrolled in a university that wouldn’t accept Blacks 100 years ago. You are not shackled and deprived. You may only have $20 to the Man’s $60, but you can turn your $20 into a million if you work hard enough. You can open your own university if you like. You can start your own music awards show if you don’t like the awards they give out. Stop blaming the world for your misfortunes and pitfalls.
Am I a little upset? yes, because I see my people wasting away and our only answer is "man, they holding us down." We are holding ourselves down. Yes the gov't flies drugs into the states. But who buys and consumes them in our neighborhoods? Yes, public schools are not the greatest but who tells us to dropout and not at least gain the 75% education available? I'm heated because we are still crying, scraping and struggling, adn others around us have the world in their palms and we are not even trying to see it.
“I can do all things…” you know the rest.
