We must do a lot of things for ourselves. And the only way we can do this is to be honest about the miscreants in our communities.
The ones who are violent, the ones who prey on the elderly, the ones who target children and the ones who brutalize our women. We should stop defending the indefensible.
We have to be honest with ourselves. Some Black people live only to complain and pick fights with others. Because they are unhappy with their lives and want others to be as miserable as they.
Ignore those who are negative and quick to denigrate and insult. You know who they are. If they try to stop you from bettering yourself, your companion, your children, your siblings or your friends, ignore them.
They fear you surpassing them. But that's going to happen anyway.
