If people stumble upon my blog via other means other than coming here directly from a link, they may do a Google search which lands them here.So I have a nose around and see what searches on Google were drawing people to LondonDiva's Blog.
The most popular has been for BC Jean's 'If I Were A Boy'. Usually on the weekends after X Factor there are more searches by a contestants name like Austin or Ruth. And as this week has seen the release of Souljah Sister's book Midnight: A Gangster Love Story, so there have been a few searches on The Coldest Winter Ever, all things I have blogged about.
But one caught my eye and just had me staring at the screen for longer than I should have. Somebody from Bristol in the UK landed on my blog after typing into Google 'Rachel Hylton another nigger'
Rachel Hylton with her mentor and X Factor judge Dannii Minogue
It seriously was a WTF moment and just though why? What would somebody expect to pull up by doing a search and adding the N word?
My case in point. Obama is a change, but this historic moment happening is not going to cause THE change that some ingrates think may happen.
[Even mixed race (although we refer to him as black) Formula 1 Champion Lewis Hamilton was subjected to Spanish fans donning blacked up faces and hurling abuse at him. Bernie Eccleston had the nerve to say that he didn't think that was racist.]
From Rachel Hylton who has 5 kids by 5 different men, had 3 of her children taken into care, did time in prison and was drug addict, now turning her life around, became a Christian and is competing on X Factor to the President Elect Barack Obama. From one end of the spectrum to the other no matter where you come from or where you go some people will only see you as nothing more than just another nigger.
That's why you really need to have an I don't give a f*** attitude as a person of colour, please yourself, don't look to please or kiss the white man's behind, do the very best that you can do for yourself first and foremost, because when you have every qualification imaginable under your belt, a great salary, a great position at a firm from my experience they only see B-L-A-C-K or would be quick to use the N word in a confrontation at the supermarket should you decide to get all 'aggressive' another word commonly associated with my people.
What they see and what we know are two VERY different things! Remember that.
Always the ones that want to run their mouths remain anonymous.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny you're on a blog of a Black woman who writes about issues sometimes from the black perspective.
One thing is for sure though tell that to a black person's face and see if they don't go Naomi Campbell on your ass bachelor's degree or otherwise. You wouldn't though because the screen and your anon psuedonym protects you. A sad attempt to rile up a group of people who've heard it all before.
Remember this though, that white people on a global scale make up 17% of the world's population and you're diminishing with a quickness. Oh and black women make more money than their white female counterparts in the UK too.
Never through the past and current hardships, and discrimination would I change being black for the world. So you can call us all niggers the live long honky day.
Be careful though, we'll take your jobs and our men will screw your women like the 50% of them already are in the UK already. Be afraid, be very afraid.
Amen sistah girl! Never a truer word spoken. However I'm all niggaed out for the day and think that's enough posting for me on the subject...lol
