Barry Blake @Qi...I think it perfectly illustrates how we are held to a higher standard than our white counter parts....I cant tell you how many people over my career I have and still deal with who are where they are because of who they are and not what they are....

Michael Williams My question is twice as good as who? if the comparison is to white folks, hell there is no good in them at all from my view point. What good have they exhibited toward us off the job on the job or in their quote racist society? our example has been them and some of us are twice as good as them in our wicked behavior toward each other. We have to stride to give equality and justice to each other first and foremost then to the rest of the human family. i always wondered what my parents meant when they said that lol

George Hudson Besides excell, we need to do a better job at networking amongst ourselves. There will always be someone or many who wants to prove to themselves and their friends that we do not deserve to be there, or we are not better than them.

Qi Xu Michael...twice as good as those in power making the rules and breaking those same rules...I'm not talking better in the sense of vanity...we have been designed to excel and when we don't live up to our design we fail on a miserable scale like no other people...it's always worse for us when we try to mimic what others do...

Uhuru Imane I'm going to be honest black African native indigenous ppl whose ppl have been killed jailed reduced in the worlds eyes to forms of endearment & entertainment dont have to put up with this system of usa yes we know our ppl were given 40 acres & mule which was reparations turned into welfare handed down over generations which came with poverty drugs jails wars terrorism right in our communities & suburbs. We didnt have to fight no wars over seas we were fighting for life right here in these streets in these jobs tryna pay taxes to help each other in our families and communities. We have to realize we have Africa a land which needs all of us to return to. America and I know most of yall won't agree with me is not meant for us anymore no matter how much land money or oppurtunities exist here for us. Just look at our history here should we continue fighting after all other cultures were paid their reparations for their holocauses to their pplz but nope not the black. You see we are still working for the acres and mule we are owed when we could simple migrate to Africa and leave this ratchet land once & for all.many of you might disagree because you have a nice car nice house some money kids in school good retirement investment plan but honestly. The black ppl African descendants are not any safer in america then Africa we should be trying to rebuild our homeland and migrate their and let the ppl who want to jail us kill us take $ & resources from us have this land ever heard of the movie day without a Mexican well imagine a day without African black descendants the ppl who invented and ancestors designed every facet of american culture to only be denied our reparations. If we left these ppl wouldnt have comedians scholars sports entertainment doctors lawyers and police and bueaty plus fashion standards to live by they would go insane. Which they already are.each one teach one is not enough we have to invest in one another since our government won't since our oppressors won't since our ppl of color who rather compete against us rather then see us as equals of the same struggle against world wide oppression of ppl of color & african descent. Black ppl need our own government our own space program our own colleges and schools our own hospitals our own religion based on serving our ppl just like china Russia India south America Canada and the rest the greater world which is advanced more then our ppl are. We need a country and planet of our own. Africa is not enough we have been killed persecuted oppressed for to many generations and it needs to stop how much longer are we supposed to be seperated from our ppl. While Many of us have the luxury many of our brethren can't eat sleep in shacks dirt mounds homeless in jail & our ppl should not have to work hard no longer especially after slavery and the continuation of the African holocauses here in north America & world wide. Black on black crime exist because of the brothers sisters who are brainwashed and have yet to educate themselves or were denied education to better themselves their family and community. What will it take for African ppl to finally unite come together and let this American nightmare finally be laid to rest. Living in USA is a real hell. We dont deserve to be treated like scum of the earth when our ppl once ruled the earth we are the descendants of prominent ppl what happened to us were we dont care about the well being of all of us because of the divide conquer programs between us. Wakeup brothers & sisters time to let it all go. Not one moor African soul is worth the bloodshed for oil diamonds gold just so elite can eat good while millions of our ppl suffer. Twice as hard to work we dont have to anymore we can work the system we can help one another but why not migrate to our homeland and finally enjoy the life we need and help educate our ppl over their as well. We have to bridge that gap which is effecting our ppl and the world. The world will never be right until Africans recieve our reparations and memorials and our lost legacy back. Just my thoughts.
