Self Denigration

As a black man, l am always fascinated by comments from some black people in the public domain.
Such comments turn my stomach times without number, because the comments mostly are used by less informed people on the other side to evaluate and judge the rest of us blacks.

Of particular interest to me is the comment made this past Tuesday by Whoopi Goldberg on her daily show the View that she is not African American, but American. No one denies the latter, but the former is unsettling to some us who have processed the statement thoroughly. To make such a statement in my humble opinion amounts to personal denigration. I submit that Whoopi is an intelligent woman, and has achieved a lot in her life, but it is sad that the the level of ignorance exhibited by her statement says that at her age, her psyche needs some degree of fine tuning.

Until science proves that human race broke through from parallel universe, the fact remains that everybody originated from somewhere. All human beings except Whoopi Goldberg and her likes have blood lines that run across the lands, deserts and oceans to be where they are to this day. As true as prior statement is, where then is Whoopi's blood line. Is she claiming to be indigenous American, or did she break through from parallel universe as it is called in some quarters?

By extension, this is the same mentality that most black women on television have about themselves.
The minute they have a television job, become popular in music or in movie, the next time you see them, they have metamorphosed into an Oreo. Why do so many black women in America feel very inferior when it comes to the color of their skin? What is wrong in being proud of who you are, and be proud of how nature made you? Are you blaming your parents that they made mistake in having  you black?

You see there are many things in life we have no choice but accept them as we found them in existence. For example, we cannot not change human demographic, we cannot change where they are located on planet, we cannot change the color inside out, we cannot change the seas and oceans, neither can we change the color of our natural eyes. Yes in our natural eyes, you may change your skin color, but your gene is still black. Just give birth to a child, and see how you have tried to fool yourselves.

If some of the modern day black women were the ones present during the struggle for equality in America, there will be no black man in America today because these types of women would have sold them all out to be killed in order to belong to the majority population whom they have no blood line with. Just the way l see it.
I welcome your response.
