The Help

Pssst...... Here's A  TRUE STORY

" B'fo I's bone, in de 60's bak n d 50's, 40's, 30;  and so owns, I hear tell dat dey colored peoples workk-ED for de whites peoples. I hear tells de be called - de help.

And dez done as dez told and dez didn't seys nothin' back to dem whites peoples 'bout being mistreated and 'bout de unfair stuff dey done to em.

It be 2011 nay 'bout 2012 and dez b some of de whites peoples who acted the same ways nowadays too and dere be some colored peoples who dey don't mind a' tall." So where are we going with this ...THAT was THEN. THIS IS NOW . 'Cause "Homey" don't play that.

If you don't know exactly what that means - this post may not be for you. Here's your opportunity to exit before you become offended and get your feelings hurt. Though that's not the intent. Some folks, truth be told most folks can't handle the TRUTH - and that's what this is all about.

Last time I checked this governmental system was one of the people, for the people and by the people. Not just some people or a few people or just your skin color people regardless of what color God happened to have made you. There's nothing you can do with that or about that.

But when it comes to "HELPING" to make the decision that will diversely affect you - you want to have a say in the process. And if you don't then you're a contributor to the mess already created so there's no need for you to moan and groan about nothing. No high utilities, no high gas prices, no high taxes - etc., etc.,

Bringing it closer to home, so you can get it, when it comes to the selection and election of folks to represent you as a mayor, a council representative, a governor or a president, you need to have a voice.

If you disagree - you've pretty much confirmed you are the definition of an idiot. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary usually offensive: a person affected with extreme retardation. 2 : a foolish or stupid person.)

You +1'd this publicly. Undo

Did we call names?
DID WE CALL YOUR NAME?
Did we call yo' mama's name? (lol)

So there's no need to get offended or become defensive. When folks want you to simply follow their lead because that's their desire for you ... that's the wrong thing for you to do.

When folks tell you who you should like and not like simply because they don't like the person (and you, as old as you are actually do that)... that's the wrong thing to do.

When folks want you to do what they say (blindly and don't ask no questions) - because they said so, but here's the kicker and they didn't birth you and they ain't yo mama (It's ok if you don't get it. It's a black thang you wouldn't understand.) And it still don't change the fact... that's the wrong thing to do.

Stop being an "idiot" and dare to do something different than just using your head as a hat rack. You ain't ... the HELP... You're a bonafide, certified citizen with the right to participate in the selection and election of folk who represent you on all levels of government. Local, State and National. Wake up & do your part.  EDUCATE YOUR MIND - GET YOURSELF TOGETHER . . .
