I have so much tears waiting to pour out of me. But they all just sit there. Inside. Waiting til the cup is too full that I scream.
I want good for Black women (and Black men. hah! I feel safe to say this now). But I don't know what to do. We have so many incidences of racism, and yet we react the same way. When will that change? Is it doing us any good. We complain. Cuss. Get glum. Then, we move on. No progress. No change. Its safe for both the perpetrator and the victim. The perpetrator gets no repremand, no upheaval in their lives and the victim gets to be safely a victim without having to exert effort into changing things.
But this is not normal. We should not take racism this way. There are ways we can fight this. And when I say fight it doesn't mean pick up a stick and slam it down hard on a person. There are ways and there are ways.
Recently there was the incident of an Ethiopian boy who tried to go to a bathhouse. The boy was only 13, bar mitzvah. The attendant there refused him entry, and when the boy ignored him, the attendant went after the boy physically hitting him in the face. The attendant then proceeded to chase the boy home and assualted his brother and aunt. What a mad man!
Personally, I think we need to mobilize and get Ethiopian, African, African Americans going to that bathhouse (mikvah) more frequently so they will get used to it.
I get so saddened by all the "F*** you, Israel!" and "we don't really have an Israel" comments by Black Jews. Well, part of me understands that they are taking out frustrations. But to associate that incident with Israel and Judaism and then to think Israel is not theirs, Judaism is not theirs --that is a problem on two accounts. (1) first problem is Israel is for the Jews (sorry haters, take your story elsewhere please). It doesn't matter if they are white or black. And if a white Jew makes trouble for a Black Jew, that Black Jew must not mentally take it as if that country is not theirs ---that's giving it to them, and relinquishing their rights. Instead the brain pattern I suggest is "what to do with this nudnick?!" and (2) even Judaism should not be "given" exclusively to white Jews only. That person, or group, or society is the problem, not the land, the country, the medina, nor Judaism.
Things can get so bad, many Blacks search for social acceptance -which is a natural need- and they will run to where ever, even in the arms of Islam. Islam is fine for Arabs. I personally don't understand how a Black person can willingly submit themselves to a religion that still sees Blacks as slaves. That only have one word for a black person which is "Abd" which means "slave". Where to this day slaves are still being taken and is permissable. Who's wordings in their holy writings disparages them, calling them "raisin head" and saying that if they take on this religion, then their heart is more gross than that of a donkey. So many Black people were taken as slaves by Muslims so long ago, just as in America, but you hardly find many dark faces in Arab lands. What happened to all of them? Still, what can I say. I find it interesting, but perhaps there is some benefit for them there that I don't know about.
But for those who embrace Judaism, since its not totalitarian coming down from one person, please don't conflagrate the religion and the people. Whether there are Jews or not, Judaism stays Judaism. And there are beautiful writings to be explored-- positive things about Blacks. But when will we get to that point? When will we delve into these? And might there be beautiful writings in Islam about Blacks but, again, Blacks are not searching and delving and exploring???
Sometimes I feel very alone. With nobody to discuss the things I see or read about. Nobody to impart it to. Will it all just disappear when I shut up....until the next lone Black Jewess or Jew discovers these gems and try to spread them only to be ignored because there is a pattern that must be followed and any deviation from that is a disturbance?

You Could become.......Black!!!
"Libya, with Italy's support, asks the EU to provide at least 5 billion dollars a year to stop illegal immigration, otherwise Europe could one day become part of Africa - it could become black, because millions want to come here," Gadaffi said.

STory: The Woman
.
There was once a diety who wanted to create the perfect woman for himself.
He looked at G-d's creation and sought the best out of them. First he considered creating this woman's head. He combed the world over thinking to himself that he wanted someone who understood G-d as best as humanly possible. Someone with faith. He found the religious Jewish people to be very faithful as well as others peoples around the world who were G-d fearing. So, the diety gathered those people and they formed the head of the woman.
Next was the chest and arms. Again, he combed the world over. He wanted the most nurturing people for this. He found women. So, he gathered all the women of the world from every nationality and they became the torso and arm.
Finally, he wanted the groin and leg area. This was a crucial area because it meant that this would determine how his children would come out. He searched for a people that had perseverance. African descended people have been around since the beginning of time according to archeologists. So he took them for that area. Now the Woman was perfect! Ready for the wedding canopy.
But all the people who were left behind and were not picked for this precious creation became jealous. They started to hate those selected group of people. They sought to intimidate and jeer them in the hopes of causing them to fall from grace.
To the Jews and the Black men, they called them boys because they were part of this Woman. They claimed that they lost their masculinity. In fact, Jewish men started to be called "good Jewish boys" and BM became "boys".
The others who were G-d fearing who made up the head, but were not Jewish, were jeered at and called naive and foolish. Their faith were ridiculed.
Women the world over were put down. They got it worse. Some nations even took away basic rights from them.
Many could not sustain themselves under these pressures. Many Jews rejected their beliefs in the hope of being accepted by the men. Many BM lost their way and were forever seeking "manhood". Somehow they mistook manhood for "he who creates strife" and combined that with much immoral sexual activity.
Woman was crumbling before the deity's eyes. He knew not what to do for his wife; how to sustain her?
