My Thoughts of Today... Perception

I just got to say this.. I have been looking at different sites and I tell you, I don't always like what I see. I don't like how some sites really portray Blacks. It is hard as it is to find comments for other sites with the African America theme. So when some sites that aren't ran by Black Artist you tend to get something like what's pictured. I know that there has to be some copyright issues along with this too. I know Gabby wouldn't say anything like this.

Do we really act and say some of the things that they put on these comments? I saw one, I am a Pimp and I got a lot of juice. Now I know Nelly made a song awhile back with Pimp Juice (was it Nelly)... So do people still think folks go around and say Pimp and Bling still.. I thought we lost the Bling in the 90's.

They had on with Ashanti on there saying Made in the Ghetto... I like to fell out of my seat.. Do people think that all Blacks come from a Ghetto? I tell you not all of us have.

I just feel that we have to try and try to get a better image for ourselves. Yes we are living in a country now that has a Black President. Things are looking so much better for all of us. I want the negative, illiterate, and insulting to stop.

Just because of a few (more than a few) want to go out and make asses of themselves, doesn't mean all blacks say or act this way. Sometimes I do blame Hip Hop and Pop Culture for some of the things.

I have always been a person who is very careful how I present myself. I wish everyone else was the same way...
