Dividing Lines Part 2

“Nothing is worse than active ignorance.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
From the Majority to the next biggest group…my people! Some of them.

African Americans
These are the ones that part of America loves and part doesn’t believe exists (mostly cause they watch B.E.T. and M.T.V.). These folks are mostly college grads who make good money and speak King James english. Their kids aren’t street smart, though the parents probably are. See each generation has been able to earn more money. They know their kids are soft, they don’t care cause they ain’t poor either. Matter of fact despite levels of education this family gets more hardbody the farther you go back. The greatgrandfather might have been some kind of large criminal or person of ill repute. These people are familiar with the next group (having evolved from them), hate and fear the third and are wary of the fourth…especially if their children try to date them. This is the group most likely to produce conservatives and republicans.

Black Folk
Alot of us are or have been in this group. This is the largest group and the one from which all generate. These are the blue collar-live in the hood or close to it-you will get your ass whipped-black folks. They don’t have much money and the true goal is to provide for the kids and elevate them to the next plateau or beyond (meaning African Americans). This group has some relations with some money and some in jail. They know the drug dealers and the politicans by name. Their kids play with future and current thugs and people who’ll make six figure salaries. The most down to earth out of all of them. Hip-Hop comes from this group. Additionally these folks go to CHUCH!

Niggers
These are the worst ones of all. People who listen to the radio think that all of these groups are this group (except for Oprah and Condelezza). Most of the other groups listed don’t really like this group. Black Folk, however, live right next to these guys. Some times black folks kids become these guys, especially when the parents work alot and can’t watch them. Within this group there are two divisions. There are some folks who are in the midst and would bounce if they could. The others are living it and loving it and don’t see the point in much else. Some of these guys are punks and some aren’t. This doesn’t matter they usually move in groups and they will hurt you. Unless you are from the previous group you probably can’t talk stuff out with them. Talking may just piss them off more. Black folks tend to be their cousins so they have a higher success ratio in dealing with them. Black folks are also their main victims since they’re all in the same place. Hip-Hop also comes from this group.

Blak (no c) People
This group is like the Neo-White group. Lot’s of beliefs and ideals. Some tree huggers. Protesters. Muslims. Pan-Africanists. Neo-Soul. People who use Swahili words and/or celebrate Kwanzaa. People who go to Poetry spots…alot. People who burn incense. You get the idea. Honestly I am included in this group as well as Black Folks…I’ve also had some nigger traits and friends. Some of these people join this group in college some just read books. Some stay on the internet (Yeah that’s right). The thing is some of these cats are cool. These some of my closest friends. However, some of these people have conversations that are topic laden. I know all about the plight of black people so I don’t need history lessons everytime I speak to you.
