Stop Doing This If You Want To Succeed In Life

I can’t stand when people say this

Kermit the Frog being drunk.

Instagram DM Conversation from June. 2021

Girl: life is short live it up!

Me: Life is short, Queen. But why does it

have to be shorter for Black people

than any other race? People usually

use quotes like that because it gives

them an excuse for their lack of

accountability.

“Life is short” so let’s get drunk.

“Life is short” so let’s get high.

“Life is short” so go buy whatever you

want even though you can barely afford it.

“Life is short” so eat whatever you

want even though if you look at the

leading causes of death for Black

people are health related issues.

“Life is short” so let’s party every

every weekend at these clubs and

bars where people are high, drunk,

hot and sweaty, listening to negative

music all night, then fights and

shootouts happen. (I just read this

morning that two people died at some

bar in Florida Blvd last night and five

people wounded.)

I say all that to say this: there is a time

and place for everything. Nothing

wrong with having fun, but we as a

community have to be more focused. Our

priorities are messed up.

The “bullshit” cannot over power the

“building.” That’s why white folks look

at us like children and don’t take us

seriously. That’s why they give us a

“holiday” and give Asians a crime bill

and money along with it.

We have to get out priorities in check,

Queen.

Girl: huh? all races party and celebrate.

white people get turnt for 4th of july

and st patrick’s day 😂😂😂😂

other races do all of that stuff and

juneteenth is a day specifically for

black people so yes they should

celebrate and party as u would any

other holiday

white people not gone respect you

just bc you don’t party if they’re racist

they’re racist. they do all that stuff too

Me: They don’t respect us because,

unfortunately, we don’t respect

ourselves. They don’t take us

seriously because we don’t take our issues

and our problems seriously. We don’t

focus on the problem at all. That’s

why we cherish partying so much

because we use it as a temporary way

to escape our everyday problems. But

the problems are still going to be

there when your done partying,

getting drunk, smoking blunts, or

drinking lean — whatever that person

does. All of those are just escape

mechanisms. It always amazes me

how we can always come together for

parties, but we can’t come together

for supporting businesses. We can get 5

negros to put money down on some

liquor or weed, but can’t get those

same negros to put money down on a

business to generate wealth.

White people love when we think like

this. So I can see why they have a

reason to celebrate EVERYDAY. They

are the ones who are winning

EVERYDAY. And if we get our shit

together, then that could be us.
