Why?
Why do black folk always feel the need to validate themselves? It always feels like we are trying to prove something. Be some sort of super-unreal negro hero. Aint got no washer or dryer but will certainly pull up to the laundry mat in a Benz. The Shiniest things hold more value than the relationships held with family...Who are we trying to impress?Is it that hard to sacrifice alittle? Instead of buying that new outfit for the club, can you pay your rent on time? Is it that hard. Dont buy those new rims if you can't pay for classes next semester. DAMN!
Why do black folk allow the color of their skin become an obstacle in their lives? Can't one just try harder? Lets be something more than the Status Quo.
Why are white people always amussed by the texture of our hair?
You cant be a thug in college....it just doesn't work that way!
Will i see you next lifetime?
Love: it comes when we least expected and when we crave it so heavily it never shows its face. What's up with love?

damn, your love statement, just stabbed me... i feel you on most of your questions.. but, as you started why do black folk alway feel the need to validate themselves?
I think because we don't offer compliments when that are deserve. We fail as a people to commend those local people doing the damn thing, whether they are goign to college or just got a job at mcdonalds... we need to say, good job.. keep on progressing.
so, question for you? when was the last time you complimented a brother and sister?
A lot of good questions...but The Elements (Earth, Wind & Fire) said it best...That's the way of the world!
