I kinda wish I would have tried to understand why he feels so negative about Black women a lil more before dismissing him. Maybe I could've opened him up to some reading.
But I feel like this is what happens when we let Disney and Nickelodeon and media controlled by other cultures give our children the myths and archetypes they will use to build their self-image. They will grow up idolizing and thinking the world of everything and everyone but their own. Maybe they can get lucky like I did and come across a book (read The Isis Papers at 18) that will open their eyes and change their disposition. Or find a group of friends as a teen like I did who exposed me to more of my own culture.
Anyway peep. This dude ain't in a good place mentally.

I was born to a catholic mother who baptized me as a roman catholic. We were not a religious family though. Not because my mother lead us to be spiritual or anything like that, but maybe because it was too tough a doctrine to live daily and teach to her children. I honestly don't know. I grew up with no knowledge of divinity or knowledge of self. At 15 I was gifted a nice gold chain with a Jesus piece medallion. I wore it feeling pride for being in style, but never had any understanding of what I was representing or why it was incorrect. Then during my 17th year after a near death experience I decided to read the Bible. It was slow and arduous, took me over a year to complete and left me more confused than ever about god and religion. The summer I turned 19 a good brother I knew took me to a masjid (mosque) were I declared faith in Allah. The qur'an and it's tenets just seemed so much simpler for my mind to grasp, although still not 100%. The problem now was that in my thinking that I understood what god was and what was expected of me I was always overtaken by guilt and fear of going to hell because I did not have the discipline to adhere to faith. Praying 5 times daily for example was almost never done, it took years for me to abstain from alcohol, it took looking for serious employment to let the weed go, and sex was something I had to have. Well the unmarried sex never ceased. The weed and drink crept back. And the anxious feelings of needing to get right keep eating at me. Time passed, my understanding and acceptance of myself grew, and I realized that I was beating up on myself for nothing. That I was looking for peace and acceptance externally when for someone like me it can only be found internally. So 20 years later I finally freed myself from religion and guilt and discovered the god I was looking for without, was alive and well within.
