WHAT HAPPENED TO "BLACK AND PROUD"? REMEMBER THAT ANTHEM? B.E.T. EVEN USED TO HAVE THAT JAMES BROWN SAMPLE IN THE PROMO FOR THE NETWORK. BUT NOWADAYS IT SEEMS LIKE THAT FEELING IS GONE. IT SEEMS LIKE NOW SINCE WE HAVE "CHANGE" (YEAH RIGHT!) IT'S LIKE WE DONT HAVE THE SAME BLACK NATIONALIST SPIRIT IN US ANYMORE. LIKE IT'S NOT NECESSARY. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, WE NEED THAT SHIT! THIS ISN'T ABOUT BASHING OTHER RACES IT'S ABOUT UPLIFTING OURS! EVEN OUR MUSIC HAS GOTTEN AWAY FROM THE PROUD TO BE BLACK VIBE. NOW ITS ALL ABOUT WHAT MATERIALS YOU HAVE. A K-100 FB MEMBER JUST GOT CONFRONTED ABOUT WEARING HER HAIR NATURAL. WHY IS ANGIE STONES MUSIC NOT AS POPULAR AS BEYONCE..OR SLUMM VILLAGE AS BIG AS CASH MONEY? I'M NOT SAYING BRING BACK BELL BOTTOMS AND THE JERRI CURL BUT DAMN..WE USED TO HAVE OUR OWN IDENTITY, AND WE WAS DAMN PROUD OF IT! EVEN IF WE WAS BROKE..DAMMIT WE WAS BLACK! AND WE LOVED IT! HISPANICS STILL HAVE THE PRIDE TO THIS DAY! THEY COME HERE AND WAVE THEIR NATIONAL FLAGS HIGH! WE JUST WAVE GANG SIGNS. WE HAVE STOPPED SIMPLY LOVING TO BE BLACK. NOW IT SEEMS MORE LIKE A NEGATIVE THEN SOMETHING YOU THROW IT THEY FACE! AND I'M SICK OF IT. AREN'T YOU?
