Its one thing to rap about it in a booth. it's another to speak on it with millions watching, reading, and listening.
Azelia is right 1000%, and i see where Kendrick is coming from.
In the black community. we out here shitting on one another like it's going outta style.
We expect outsiders to love us, more than we love ourselves.
America is not gonna fix the black community. We're gonna have to fix it ourselves, before we fix our community, we gotta fix ourselves.
Self Hate is rampant in the blk community....

Was it "a lack of self-respect" when we were kidnapped and in chains?
So Blacks were getting oppressed,enslaved,slaughtered because "they didn't respect themselves?"
If it wasn't the case back then, then on what day did it shift from them just being exploitative oppressors to us being deserving of our oppression because of our own behavior?
So this whole time WE'VE been our own problem? Come on bra...
When you say things like that it's like you justifying the shit.
ShiveDreadz;7694924 said:Kendrick right though, lots of black people dont have no damn self respect, its obvious in how they treat themselves which carries on to how they treat others like themselves.
Aint nobody going to change that but black people.
Call him a coon all you want, and keep pointing that finger at everything else but the community itself which is a part of the problem.
That chick azaelia banks doing interviews with purple weave and a dominican accent talking about some self respect LOL.

1)Blacks traded other blacks off way before those boys from portugal came down and set up shop. The slaves that refused to be broken and enslaved killed themselves or jumped ship, the ones that became slaves were weak enough to become slaves. Even during slavery there were slaves that stood up and got killed because they REFUSED to be slaves.
Why was there a need to go all the way to africa to find slaves when there were millions of people already in america when the spanish came? hmmmmmm....
2)The law of the land changed because black people had respect enough to stand up and get it changed.

it's similar to how Wilson defenders brought up black on black crime after our people started protesting. one had nothing to do with the other. that's a different conversation for another day, and we have that conversation all the fucking time when it's necessary. in this case, it wasn't necessary. it was irrelevant to the topic at hand. what do us respecting ourselves have to do with a cop gunning down an unarmed black teenager? if brown "respected himself", he wouldn't of got gunned down? if Garner "respected himself", he wouldn't of got choked to death? if tamir "respected himself", he wouldn't of got shot on sight for playing with a toy gun?
get the fuck out of here
