Result of Integration Is Just Another Form of RacismBy Pearl Jr. The only significant result of integration is that Black men can now whistle at, date, have sex with, procreate, and marry White women and that is making my life, as a Black woman, much harder. The integration of the public school system hasn't increased the number of Black high school graduates- the dropout rate for African Americans is a whooping 50%, therefore forcing Historically Black Colleges to recruit Latino students to simply add to the declining enrollment. Sitting and eating together with White people hasn't created more Black owned restaurant, which has dropped 80% since the mid 1960's. Moving into so-called better White neighborhoods has made Black neighborhoods even poorer and more crime ridden because it took the much-needed role model/provider and protector out of the community. The Negro Baseball League, well it's defunct, and now non-Blacks own the best of our best athletes. Furthermore, the percentage of successful Black people is the same as it was 100 years ago. Therefore taking all this into consideration, I stand by my statement that the ONLY significant result of integration is that Black men aren't being lynched because a White woman said a Black man made a pass at her. Due to the alarming trend of too many Black men abandoning their racial responsibilities in regards to being the provider and the protector of the Black race family, I have vowed to NOT purchase any products by any Black man that is currently spending my money on making sure his non-Black wife/woman lives comfortably. Heck, White men do a good enough job that White women don't NEED our men to do what their men are most capable of doing. Currently, 60% of Black men who earn more than $100,000 annually (our consumer dollars) are married to non-Black women, to which most of them are highly visible professional athletes and other entertainers who earn millions and influence our youth.
I'm speaking up about this new form of racism. You're damn right, it's playa hatin because the game is fixed to go to the White runner and cheating has been going on for far too long. White women have the best PR via the media being honored and rarely disrespected. Contrarily, Black women are bi-at-ches and hos in nearly every hip hop hit, and on nearly all videos. The Black race is in serious trouble and we can't afford to have one more sell-out abandoning Black male turn his back on his racial responsibilities without the consequence of losing my Black dollars that support him. Tina Turner had it right, "What's Love Got To Do With It" when it hurts so badly. Black men with resources mated up with non-Black women will continue the devaluing of Black females, which is connected to lowering the recycling of Black dollars and the abandonment of support for Black organizations. As I pondered about telling the truth about a few high profile powerful Black men, I realized that I pay their bills and they don't pay mine. I am no longer supporting them either by watching them on TV or in movies, buying their records, supporting any products they promote, or contributing anything to someone who doesn't care about my feelings or my plight as a Black woman, which inevitably includes their own Black daughters.
~ Flava Flav is making a fool out of Black women on his new cable show. And to add insult to injury, wasn't he the front man of the conscious rap group Public Enemy? Furthermore, I heard Charles Barkley bragging about him and his White wife hanging with Tiger and his White wife, and Tony Parker with his non-Black girlfriend, Eva Longoria, at a golf course having a wonderful time pretending racism doesn't exist because they are interracially loving. But in reality their cult to dismiss Black women is the newest form of racism. Do you think these non-Black women want any sistahs around reminding Black men that we need them and their resources because we are dying without them? Hell No! Further influencing these men to pretend Black women and Black race issues are irrelevant in their lives by telling them that race doesn't matter and they are so glad that racism is over. Now don't get me wrong, money isn't everything, but anyone who wins a million dollars in a lottery would be more than ecstatic and that includes many of us Strong Independent Black women who work their butts off to have happiness despite the world around them. This integration reality isn't the dream that Martin Luther King, Jr. prayed for. One of the biggest reasons that the acceptance and the promotion of Black men with non-Black women is because it re- enforces the belief that Black women are only "f*ckable" and not "loveable", which means that an exuberant number of Black children will have a hard road to tow in life because of the reluctant or missing father/role model.
To my beautiful hard-working sistahs, we need more men to assist in our communities because without them to provide and protect, we are headed to hell in a hand basket. The results are in. To learn what to do about this alarming form of racism against Black women, please order a copy of my book, Black Women Need Love, Too! Exposing the Conspiracy To Keep Black Women Without Love. Available on amazon.com. I connect the dots to several more debilitating occurrences and explain what we can do to stop the bleeding. This is a "how to" book that works! It focuses on the BEST INTEREST OF BLACK WOMEN, which encompasses the BEST INTEREST OF THE BLACK RACE FAMILY. Check out my website: http://www.BlackWomenNeedLoveToo.com for further details. I'll be debating with Alan Currie the author of, "The Mode" on Saturday, August 26, 2006 at the Beach Bash. This will be a heated, TRUE-TO-LIFE discussion about relationships. Log onto my website for details.
