Black people Vs. Niggas

I must say, there seems to be a common disconnect. All though there is no shortage on racism, there is an even bigger shortage of people who can tell the difference between common everyday harmless black people and the dreaded nigga. Although we all can have our nigga moments, most of us don't want the trouble. Before any of you get confused, thinking I'm some racist skinhead, I am very much black. Infact I was one of those "niggas" white people feared. Many moons ago I moved 90 miles east from a tough place nobody likes to visit(ahhh home, wow do I miss it).The move to a quiet , suburban style (but growing with alot of influence from my city), helped me realize there's more to life than possibly dying young. Or selling dope, or stiring trouble because there was nothing else to do. I was blind to it then, but my life was changing for the better and I didn't even realize it. I was becoming less of a "nigga" every year. Now that I'm older I understand both sides of the fence. The peaceful side, and the side average suburban people are scared of. Now I will be the first to say I love my people. But I can't stand niggas! If you don't know what qualifies you as a nigga I'll explain: A nigga is that person yelling at the cashier because they want 5% off of what ever item they have no business or the funds to pay for even after the discount is scanned in. A nigga is that person talkin shit about something they don't understand. The person yelling racism at a good point made by someone else of a diferent race. That person always wanting a "hook up"! Let me share a story with you that took place not to long ago. This moment set the tone for this blog. Plus it cemented the fact that I will NEVER do business with a nigga again! My wife and I were in a tough spot. In transition, trying to move back into our own apartment again soon. But, we had a storage bill that was kicking our ass. We wanteed to keep our things but we decided to sell our stuff and get rid of that storage bill, and just get new furniture when we got on our feet. So someone I thought was a friend was interested in the couches. He lolly gagged for weeks. Finally his mom decided she wanted our couches and our bedroom set. The couches alone were $1200. The bedroom set was worth about the same. We were in a tough spot because the storage bill was pass due and the storage place was gonna keep our things. So my "friends" mom decided we could keep our stuff at her spot, then buy the bedroom and livingroom set from us. We agreed. After we moved everything to her place she reveals she wants everything for $500. Kinda pissed us off but we were in a tough spot. So we said ok. There was a oak chess that belonged to my wife grandmother that was passed along down the family tree that we needed back. No money had been exchanged yet. This woman decides shes upset about the chess and lowers the price to $300!! So she wants $2400 worth of furniture for $300. The chess wasn't included in the first place. To make a long story short, We ended up giving up just about everything for $300. We had urgent bills to attend to. So my "friends" mom complains to us that she got the short end of the stick and kinda wants her money back, and then tries to claim we were stealing out her garage! How we gonna steal our own personal items? Goodness! Another example if your dealing with niggas incase you don't know: Anyone who didn't know nothing about Obama but he was black and wanted to vote just because of that. Had no idea what issues he was speaking about leading up to the election, just knew he was black and wanted a black man in office. Now I voted because I liked what he stood for and what he wanted to do. Race played no part. Black people may identify with this: If a man with big ass rims and a horrible paint job pulls up, and nods at you like he the shit.... Yup thats a nigga! That guy that turns his music to full blast when he see's you, yes sir that's a nigga. Regular common black people want to get ahead in life. They are saving money in their bank accounts, trying to figure out how to come up in life. And if they live in the ghetto, they're trying to figure out how to get out, not brag about how they live in it. And sure in the hell not complaining how the white man is keeping them from having all they can have in life! If you are blaming the white man for your problems your most likely a nigga! That's all for now. If I have any other thoughts on this I'll make a part two. Something tells me there will be.
