nobody saw this the other night? (guess not)

here's the list:

25) Jheri curls (slight self-hatred aspect in there along w/ ruining ppl's furniture)
24) Hurricane Katrina (well. obviously.)
23) The N-Word (also obvious. ppl will never stop saying that)
22) Cointelpro (put a stop to the civil rights movement almost completely)
21) Elvis Presley (stole classic rock elements from black ppl, used it as his own, then made millions and took rock n roll from black ppl)
20) Negative Images in Hip Hop (self explanatory. booty butt CHEEKS!)
19) The Bling Phenomenon (because the money that bought platinum grills and $150 nikes should've went to a new house out of the ghetto instead)
18) Welfare (cuz ppl on welfare wont bother looking for a job)
17) The Justice System/Prison (new age slavery)
16) Color struck (brown paper bag tests, bleaching, "I'm part cherokee", etc.)
15) Ward Connerly (for pretty much ending affirmative action)
14) The Supreme Court (for the decisions it makes, usually not in some black ppl's favor)
13) Ronald Reagan (obviously his name had to be somewhere in this list)
12) The Bombing of Black Wall Street (What an atrocity...I wonder how many ppl have even heard of this...)
11) Soul Food (for clogging black ppl's arteries all over america)
10) Gangs (for killing our youth)
9) Hollywood (for the misrepresentation that's been going on)
8) The Murders of Malcolm & Martin (because we'll never have leaders like them again)
7) Proud to be Dumb (you know those dumbasses that call you white because you're smart? that's just...retarded)
6) The Ku Klux Klan (duh. btw the footage they had was just creepy)
5) Apartheid (aka segregation aka worse conditions for us)
4) Religion (because now most just pray if they want something instead of. you know. GETTING it themselves)
3) AIDS (cuz it's retarded that the group with the most AIDS are black females)
2) Drugs (because it left many ppl too dazed to care anymore)
1) Slavery

I talked to the TV the whole time. I was great and a beam of light in the darkness known as Black Entertainment Television.

(can't believe I was the only one here who saw it)

# 19 - think what could be if the rappers (hell, if ALL OF US) took off the diamond, sold them and sent the money to a fund dedicated to righting some of our wrongs . . . (hell, how bout sending some of the money back to the folx who dug em out the ground!)

I would never wear diamonds - just on principle. I'd wear diamonds as sure as I'd cut and color a confederate flag or a swastika into the back of my head

it's the princi-effing-pal!

Co-sign on BET not adding themselves to the list. The coonery and mondern day minstrel shows they broadcast over there is contributing to issues our people have as well.
