mos def's views on obama



I respect an artist that can keep it real and have respect from america to be able to do this but dont think for one second that Mos Def didnt kno tht he was perpetuating the stereotyes, its like a menstral show in reverse because this time the jokes on "whitey"

i scream out for the fruits of this tree- black men

societal, worldwide, cultural pressures bury our Kings in sorrow. I weep for the black man because they are God's most precious gem but have been crushed by corruption. Racism, classism, sexism stabs at the most strenuous thing that God created. Joblessness, incarceration, domestic abuse, homosexuality, irresponsibility, hoplessness, lovelessness, faithlessness; these are all products of the racist crosses that the black community had to bear. They fell on the black women the most at the end of the day because we are the only "weaker" being on earth than a black man so mischanneled aggression seeps through the homes of the black community. Don't get me wrong i know there is no harder and more challenging struggle than to be a black woman, and an intelligent, strong, and beautiful one like myself is asking for lethal injection. But lets be real our brothas are rapidly deterioration from the worse disease known to man, racism.  if they aint broke, locked up, or got 3 babymamas then they are Gay or have HIV. We need God himself to swoop down and save our Kings or we might have to start gettin jungle fever and i dont kno how many of our families would tolerate that.

 Love is the Key word up. we need to be able to guide and assist our Kings, criticize and correct, also embrace and caress with love. Im talkin a strong love black men can only be loved with that Good Good Love, that Agape love because any other love is too weak for the mess you gon have to put up with them, and thats real talk.  I have come across a couple of situations over the weekend, and It really made me think; how should these people deal with these young black men who are sho nuff cuttin up and need to be set straight? How does a worried, loving mother approach her young black prince with love and affection and setting him straight at the same time. This is something that I will need to learn to do with my husband and my unborn sons. so i began to really elaborate on this. I feel that if you show the love on a daily continuous basis  when it comes time to set that man straight he will already know that it is coming striaght from the heart. But you know its not that simple i believe that black men are genetically prideful and stubborn; yes all of yal! so knowing this, us equally prideful and not so stubborn but more complex queens need to be fraglie with our kings ego! their ego is bigger than mount kilamonjaro! like foreal they can smell themselves for days. We women have the habit of tearing a brother down, and my mother taught me that that can break a man for good. If your man is jobless and sits on your couch everyday playing ps3, if he is really ur man and is worth the challenge (please make sure he worth the challenge bc i kno some nwords that will prolly stay in their mama house for the rest of their kids lives!) help him look on craigslist or in the classifieds. Make it interesting and fun! you gotta work with ya man so he cn finally be ya man. No black man wants to not be able to provide for his family. the secret to most black men's unsuccess is that they have settled for the prejudices of this land! you have to encourage him to stand,and let him know that you will stand with him. A man doesnt feel like a whole man if he can't provide for his family or at least help so you tearing him down to make urself feel better is permanently damaging your love connection with your boo thang, brother, dad, or what ever!
