You want me to do whaaaat?

I need to have a quick venting session. One thing that I'm seeing a consistent pattern of is a LACK of support amongst "us". When I say "us", I am indeed talking about the African-American race.I'm NOT saying that other races show support to their own all of the time, but it is most common among "us". What is the problem? I mean is it jealousy, bitterness, a grudge, are you still angry at that person????...I mean, what is it? Some people actually don't give a crap about the well-being of others anyway, so it doesn't bother them one bit. Even with me when I first opened my small business, about 85% of my support came from people I did not know and have never seen. But I have hundreds of people that I do know that have yet to even speak a kind word of encouragement. As I've stated so many times before, support doesn't have to be financial, it can be verbal & physical. An " I'm so proud of you"...a "Congratulations"....a "You're doing a great job"...etc, does NOT hurt for anyone to give, say , or do it to someone that is trying to better themselves. I haven't been able to support everyone that I know, but I certainly do try and that is why God will continue to bless me because my motives for doing so are pure and sincere.

It almost brings me to tears sometimes because I don't understand how some people can continue on talking about and slandering the names of others, but yet and still do absolutely nothing to help that person out. Its more comfortable to talk about others than to help them and that is a SHAME! But when it comes to that person needing the support in return, they expect you to certainly give it to them. YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAAAAAAT? Is what I sometimes ask myself. You want me to support you, but you have yet to support me? Though it should not be like that, the reality of the matter is certainly true. We must get over all of this hate, pettiness, and childness that many of us "grown" folks keep up. You can't support me because of what I said in high school 55 years ago, who my folks are, who I still talk to, and how I didn't speak to you in Junior High????...Are you serious? Dude, give me a break. That was soooo many years ago...but truthfully speaking, some people hold on to things such as that. Get over it!!!!!

Dude, grow some wings & fly on with the excuses!

Even now, the person that is reading this is either a supporter, a non-supporter, or you just don't give a crap because it doesn't concern you. Or you may be reading this because you are just nosy & want to see what the title of my post is all about at which you'll never admit to me or anybody that you read my blog....or maybe you actually enjoy reading my posts (at which I am very grateful for by the way)....but whatever your reason is, please do me a favor and start supporting people from the smallest business to the largest organization. We must do better and come together. Leave all that nonsense and extra baggage behind....

Alot of times I  notice even the smallest things, whether it be on facebook, a decrease in text messages, phone calls, etc. and I often wonder why people do the things they do. But I also understand that people have their preferences and will do what they want, when they want, and how they want. WHY?? Lol, its like I want to know the motives of some people. You went from being in my corner to throwing me out with the dogs. Is it because my words have offended you? Am I "too much" for you? Am I not enough or worthy enough to be in your corner??? I mean what is it? Before you stay in my life, I'd rather you DELETE yourself with the quickness and that way we can both be happy! I still love you just as God does, but I refuse to be stepped over and on for no reason at all. Many may not agree with what I've said and MY thoughts, but even I become a bit frustrated and upset sometimes, which makes me NINA! I want to share these things with you because I know that even through this, someone somewhere will be helped!

I am a very positive person, but today I experienced something that further reminded me of why I love some people from a distance. Even me personally, if I may  not be too "fond" of you, I will still support you because I want to see you succeed, no matter how I feel about you. But even in doing so, I have to remember that everyone isn't as mature as I am. Everyone doesn't view things and aren't as passionate about things as I am, so that makes a HUGE difference in the way things are taken. At this point, I frankly don't care who likes it or not because it pisses me off to know that people are still on some stuff that should have been gone with the wind many years ago. But through it all, I must remember that I can't expect the next to do what I would....for my purpose is much greater. I do things from my heart and I think that's why it bothers me sometimes because its like some people don't have an ounce of compassion within them. If it doesn't benefit them in some kind of way, they don't pay it any mind and that is sad. I will continue being the person God has designed me to be and giving my support to those that are trying to do something with their lives. But its something when you always want people to support you but you aren't willing to do the same. And you want me to do whaaaaaaaat???....Hmph...let me pray.....
