Blackinformant.com – African-American culture, news commentary, politics

The following was the first post I did for 2007. You will see that quite a few of my predictions have already come to pass.

Taken from “Will the circle be broken?”

• Racism and all of its variations

[CHECK]

• Politicians/movie stars that have “sold out” or are too uppity.
• The endless tagging of Blacks who live in the suburbs as those who have”left” less fortunate Blacks behind in the inner-cities.
• Folks (mostly women) who hate on Black men that date lighter shaded black women while ignoring Black women who prefer lighter shaded Black men with green eyes (AS IF ANY OF THIS REALLY MATTERS).
• The continual accusations that suggest that Black folks who in any way are critical of their own race are being “too hard” or “beating up” on the Black race.

[CHECK]

• The usage of the N-word.

[CHECK]

• The endless competition over who can best articulate “the Black struggle” by using language that looses most readers.
• Angry Black women who slam Black men for dating outside of their race while complaining that there is not enough “eligible” black men to marry.
• “White cop shoots black kid” stories.
• Kwanzaa vs. Christmas
• ANYTHING about Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton

[CHECK]

• Endless ranting over Black “leaders”

[CHECK]

• The constant redefinition of what is a “Black conservative” while most Black liberals prefer to be called “moderates”, “progressives” or any other label that they believe separates them from the rest.
• The endless debates over statistics that compare Blacks to Whites.
• Fiery rage over dumb comments from folks that are insignificant to Black progress.

[CHECK]
