I honestly think it's pretty dumb to think like Princess El-Bey.

But then I remember when I thought just like that.

It's not easy to escape the grasp of the Democratic party.


I had went about the business of supporting the Democratic party no matter what for 2 decades with no real progress for the black community. Even when they did and said racist things I'd make excuses and defend them.

My response was always that they were better than the Republicans and that the Republicans are racist.


They literally have 99% of our people brainwashed just like that!


At some point I began to see that both parties are racist. I came to the conclusion that while Democrats and Republicans don't agree on much, the one thing they do agree on is the upkeep of white supremacy.


The first step was to admit and realize I was a 🦝.

At that point I had to do the work to educate myself. Not based on CNN, MSNBC and not even the new black media.


It took looking up information from independent sources. Looking at the actual text of bills. Critically thinking about if a bill or anything proposed or done actually benefits me and the black community.


With enough time and effort I was able to kill the 🦝 within me.


So while it sucks that people think like Princess El-Bey. I realize how hard it is to get out of that mindset and sympathize with her. But if you are truly ready to change and improve I'm here for you!
