I haven't read most of the responses because I'm stuck on the title of this topic, "Conveniently Black". This country thrives off the "convenient" oppressive tactics that "they" use to stay in control and to get what they want. AND they know that the BEST way to get the results that they want begins and ends with us. The moral of the story, We are all Black Wallstreet-savvy & the strength of the Motherland is in our soul! Clearly, we are the chosen one. "Conveniently Black" - yes, we continue to set the stage of evolution and this country continues to reap the benefits our our "Conveniently Black" skin. They say that FEAR causes one to stay on the 'right side of caution', so instead of "them" embracing our power, they "conveniently" make laws to oppress and suppress. It's not us, it's them! Please don't get me wrong. I don't hate - I hurt. I hurt because I know, I see, I hear, but with that, I know, I see, I hear and that keeps me smiling with my head up - proud for being "Conveniently Black". That stone of hope, to me, is more like a crater of Yes We Did, Yes We Can, Yes We Will! My "Conveniently Black" skin IS MY POWER! SAY IT LOUD.....I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD!!!!!!!!! Ya betta recognize baby!

Too many people have to do unwise things to survive. The paradox is that these very same people fight to maintain the systems that force them to make unwise choices. They say victims of abuse will often defend their abuser.

LOL! YES. Thank you.

Yeah that line resonated with me too. I don't talk about my personal life much online ... But believe it, or not, my ex did not want to have anything to do with AALBC ... can you imagine? I never got any encouragement for her indeed I can point to concrete example of when she actively thwarted my efforts. I'll leave it at that. I never looked to the wider audience (white folks) for validation, thought I fully appreciate that it is needed today to make any real money. I work for the validation from Black people. If white folks appreciate what I do great, but that is not what motives me. While I don't need the validation of my partner, I will never enter into a long term relationship with a woman who does not support my work. I can only imagine what having a supportive Black woman by my side would have done for me and AALBC. Shoot, what would strong Black relationships do for the Black community in general? It is unimaginable.
