Why Are You Afraid of Competing With White Folks?

Why are you afraid to compete with White people in any way, shape or form? Is it because of Black Wall Street or is it because of what happened to both King AND X? You do everything to be acceptable, by White standards, including giving your children the best White names, sending them to the best White schools and teaching to wear the best White clothes. Still, you are rejected at every corner. Is that why you're discouraged and reluctant to take risks?

Tell the truth! The closer you get to the White power structure, the less confidence you feel. So, the greater the opportunity to be free, the more terrified you become. Instead of doing your homework, you distract yourself with an endless flood of foolishness. Instead of identifying your true enemy, you squabble relentlessly with the people you should be learning from and partnering with.

You. Scared. Of. White. Folks.

The brother got shot in his own apartment? A 26 year old business man and Bible teacher. That's almost as bad as the brother they shot while he was laying on his back, with his hands up!
Yeah, you scared.

Colin and Serena only provide entertaining opportunities for you to talk about it in public. But I know what's in the back of your mind.

You. Scared. Of. White. Folks.

But know this: Fear is only the beginning of greatness. It is a reminder that you are vulnerable.
Courage is simply finding the will to stand in the face of your frailties.

The hero is the one who remains standing for what you believe when the others have retreated to safety and security.

Give thanks for your fears today. Let them remind you of the hairline distinction between fear and adrenaline. Learn to choose adrenaline over fear and experience a power that will elevate you beyond your weaknesses.

Today is your day of victory. Today, fear is the wind beneath your wings. Fly high!
Live the medicine!
