where not to buy from
where not to live
how we really need our own media outlets
how we need to change our standards regarding what makes a quality product/where my money should go
how we need our own schools so we could change our own learning requirements
how we need to stop looking for jobs through White controlled companies
so on and so forth.
I have learned the following. These "rage porn" articles only keep us angry and frazzled because as long as a people are angered and frazzled, we can only be reactionary. If we stay in reactionary mode, nothing could get done in an organized fashion. Real change can't happen. All we'll keep doing is the same thing that has proven ineffective. We need to look at this in a logical manner and apply our tactics as such.
Don't get me wrong. We have every right to be angry, but what good is straight and constant anger going to do for us? It only baits us into behaving accordingly. I could see why people choose to look away from all of this. It is exhausting, infuriating, depressing and dehumanizing all around.
However, I don't want people to keep their head out of it. I mean that it inspires me to find solutions in order to counter all of the bad, such as learning to keep your money and spend it where it counts,watching what you've learned and knowing how to constructively teach those lessons. Changing standards regarding what we've been taught and how to re-direct what mainstream has suggested.
I seriously believe we've got this, and this is just the beginning. The future is blindingly bright for us, and they know it, which is why they spend so much time worrying about us.
We are doing beautiful things. All of us.
We've got to keep going.
