  • “One of the reasons that it is bad for us to continue to just refer to ourselves as the so-called Negro, that’s negative. When we say so-called Negro that’s pointing out what we aren’t, but it isn’t telling us what we are. We are Africans, and we happen to be in America. We are not Americans. We are a people who formerly were Africans who were kidnaped and brought to America. Our forefathers weren’t the Pilgrims. We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock; the rock was landed on us. We were brought here against our will; we were not brought here to be made citizens. We were not brought here to enjoy the constitutional gifts that they speak so beautifully about today. Because we weren’t brought here to be made citizens–today, now that we’ve become awakened to some degree, and we begin to ask for those things which they say are supposedly for all Americans, they look upon us with a hostility and unfriendliness” -Malcolm X

  • Walking down a residential sidewalk with grass and I make eye contact with a stroller lady with young child locked at arm ahead on the path. I don’t need much room so I get to the right, it’s a nice day I throw on a smile. Lady is not budging from the middle of the walkway, it’s either shoulder check the kid or walk in the grass. Thought about just stopping but decided against yelling at this kids inconsiderate ass mom. There was enough room why not just move over a bit? Ah well guess the grass is nicer to walk on anyways
