Black Girls,, No wait Black People Rock

I luv to look nice im not gonna lie but there is a thick line between looking nice, and being over the top. We as black people have life all mixed up.. We are more concerned on the material things and the substances that comes along with the urban lifestyle. Black people are the only nationality that will debt themselves to look good. Slavery of blacks ended 149 years ago but that was just freedom of the physical bondage. WE ARE STILL SLAVES OF THE MIND! Designers put out new shit every month and we eat it up like a gourmet dish. We spend money on clothes and shoes when we could be investing and letting it build. We gotta have the best of everything we're broke because we're making others rich! Its down to the point in which if you have a flip phone ur looked down upon. Because we would rather spend $350 on a phone and they would take a free phone in a heartbeat.
I was watching "In the Heat of the Night" and in the episode a black man was killed by 4 white men. All he did was ride down the street in his new pinto (or whatever nice car it was at that time). The man stopped to help out a white and then a car pulled up behind him and 3 more white men jumped out and they killed him. For no reason at all because he was black! And what I got out of this episode is that we have come a long way as a nationality. Our ancestors died for us by sitting at "white only" lunch counters and marching down the street getting bit by dogs. They died so we can have an easier life. All we do is kill each other over petty things. We kill each other because that "nigga" aint from yo block or because he talked to yo girl. We should be loving one another.
In the civil rights movement blacks were still slaves "seperate but equal". Our ancestors over came that slavery and made it easier for us. So its up to us to see how we can over come this slavery we are in today.
