What is the Clear Agenda for Us as a People

I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I've come to the conclusion of asking this question in this context. We spend a lot of time being outraged about everything under the sun, even when it doesn't pertain to us as a people. The recent suspension of Whoopie Goldberg from The View due to her comment regarding the Holocaust is what sparked the title of this blog.  

We can not dictate how other groups get mad when they are insulted, Jewish people felt the need to cancel her because believe it or not, contrary to her last name, Whoopie is still considered as an outsider within the Jewish Community, and they had no problem letting her know about that. Let it be known, that I don't take anybody's side in this thing, but I will say that the outrage shouldn't have even been a thing. As much as we are disregarded no matter what group we try to fit ourselves into, Black people WILL be ostracized or othered whenever the majority sees fit. And guess what? Nobody will come to our rescue. We keep saying it time and time again, "We. Have. No. Friends." But we refuse to apply that. That's why we get outraged like this. Its disgusting and exhausting to watch our people get "outaged" over and over again for something that may or may not pertain to us. With that being said, I bring to you the following:


We complain about the music, rightfully so but what is the clear agenda when it comes to music

We complain about the police shootings. Whose agenda are we on when it comes to police shootings?

Are we following BLM, Shaun King, or are we following something else? What is that clear agenda?
What is the agenda on anti-black sentiments and anti-black attacks?

What is the clear agenda on self-hate and intra-racial violence?

What is the clear agenda on economics?

What is the clear agenda on politics?

If we are going to be mad, we have to be on something that will lead us to something greater.

Otherwise, it's just fake outrage.
