Your first step will almost always be taken alone... most people only wanna wait til you succeed before they get involved... They may hope for the best for you and wish you success... but they gon hang back... cause they aint trying to be the one to take the initial risk and possibly jeopardize their own situations....
Think about this the next time you see someone talking about what everybody should be doing when they haven't tried to do it themselves.... And its usually something that anybody can do..so If they aren't trying to lead the way then think twice...
Now could it all just be pleas for justice or suggestions of solutions.... or could it be that cause DEEP DOWN INSIDE....They don't truly believe it can get done...or that they can do it? Cause with a level of certainty to your beliefs you wouldn't have a problem stepping out on your own.... So in any other case, it looks as if you'd rather hang someone else out to dry instead of taking the risk yourself....
For Instance... I see so many people talking about killing cops these days... But I aint seen much of anyone pulling a trigger... And the one boy that did.... well he got called crazy and was easily forgotten about... I'm not an advocate of going on a rampage and killing white folks... I'm just saying this to make a point... This could be with anything.... police brutality, business, health, or whatever cause you choose to fight over...
The NUMBER ONE QUESTION THAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW WHEN THEY HEAR YOU HOOTING AND HOLLERING about something in an emotional tirade IS...... WELL WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?! Here's the secret.... Most of the people who are out doing something.... aint hooting and hollering about it.....However...... when you hear that question.... you better have a good answer... and not just the usual "I tried to tell yall what we should do but yall Niggas don't never listen. Im finishied with these half-steppin coons/negroes. Yall don't wanna be free". At least have a failed attempt at putting something together to speak on.... Don't have an empty resume with nothing but a introduction at the top of what you'd like to do....
Things rarely succeed because of this type of behavior. How you gon champion a movement but dont wanna be involved until everybody's in it?! And get mad at others for not seeing your vision?! Many people believe that God has a purpose for them.... And if he does..... Then don't you think you're gonna probably be somewhat alone in fulfilling it. Its your own specific job to do here... nobody else's... You may request help... but the job is still on your shoulders..... So why be mad when everybody doesn't side with you from jump?!
Is it because you like the ability to hang back with an "I TOLD YOU SO" attitude..."Shoulda listened to Me", attitude? Realize that after a while... you'll be portrayed as the guy that loves his own destruction... cause every time something happens to one of us it looks like another opportunity for you to prove your point... and allows you to offer up a smug retort. And most of the time, that's all we hear from you from that point on.... a blamefest... And how is that supposed to build the unity you desire so much?!
Wouldn't it be better for you take the first step and show us?! If you're all for fighting killer rogue cops and are good at punishing killer cops then go do it and then come back and teach others..... People gotta see things before they believe them these days... Everybody aint fearless like you ( I suppose)...Most people aint gon move until you move first and since you're the expert... then you should be moving first, RIGHT?!
Don't just sit there and watch the news... and be like "That Chris Dorner guy is my hero. I sure HOPE he gets away". Or... "I'm glad that 'ms. single mother of 3' finally spoke up about racism at her job... and now that she's fired... I HOPE she can find a better one and don't get on welfare and take more off my plate"... or "I'm glad the boy stomped on the flag or that lady pulled the flag down.... I HOPE they don't get killed in jail" "Or we all hope for the best for that brother/sister that did (noble deed)".... and we pretty much send them off with a "Good luck with that" I suppose....
POINT BEING.... BLACK PEOPLE HOPE TOO MUCH.... AND THEY HELP TOO LITTLE!!!
Why don't we make people millionaires when they do any of these things that we talk about so much... like starting a business... killing a cracker cop... lose a freedom-fighting family member... trash-talk white folks on TV? Why do those people languish in a hell (of sorts) for the rest of their lives most of the time?
YES.... everything is that much easier when it is done in numbers.... but nothing ever gets done until one person decides to take the first step....
to lighten the mood... watch the clip... it goes a little something like this.....
