Can you believe someone like me would get into it with someone? lol
Surprising right?
Well anyway I have controversial enough views where I can easily be misunderstood. The first thing some misunderstand or don't grasp is the fact that I'm a very complex, broad minded being. I think I'm more broad minded then most people I know.
Of course some are saying "are you kidding me" based on my blog which sounds so opinionated. However with careful concentration and assessment many realize I simply speak about
ENERGY. I rarely state exactly how someone should act or conduct themselves, life's too complex.
It's important for people to expand their minds by learning how to think about, feel and dissect the
ENERGY of a situation or reality. You can't just focus on opinion, your beliefs, emotion and idealism. Most of my observations simply reveal the
ENERGY of a situation or person, it doesn't include my idealistic wishes, thoughts or opinions. I can insert and address that when asked or when appropriate.
Let me explain why I'm saying all of this:
"The Artist" and I, got into an argument because he is very Afro-centric and came up against and clashed with my broadmindedness. Being Afro-centric is a way and choice in life. Just like with anyone who chooses to be very cultured in their surroundings. It's more natural and metaphysical for most people to be influenced by the
ENERGY of their surroundings in turn most humans are less spiritual. Most people don't radiate the culture of their race with the intensity of those who focus on doing so.
Point Blank,
I believe in, understand and embrace the slight
MUTATION of African women, which creates me an African American woman. After-all it's the case with women of all races and the case with those who come into contact with another culture, therefore absorbing it's
ENERGY..
In short, he does not agree!
I believe that it's natural, metaphysical and human nature for a group of people to be influenced by what they are exposed to. Again that theory is demonstrated by the fact that women of other races are influenced by American culture and their environments.
Even more compelling is the fact that Black people from other countries are influenced by African Americans, particularly the negative aspects of this culture. Despite seeing that these
ENERGIES don't work in the Black community they still emulate it. They emulate it because it's a strong
ENERGY which results in a strong influence. They can look for and emulate the positive aspects of African American culture, but they simply emulate what they see and feel
ENERGY wise. They will emulate the strongest
ENERGY that seems to be powerful or celebrated.
You would think a group of people would want to avoid the negative
ENERGY, traditions and ways of a people, but again that's demonstrated that that's not the case. So if this is true, how could it be possible to expect African Americans to completely block out the
ENERGIES and the influences American culture affords, particularly when they are satisfying
ENERGIES due to our new environments.
Example Yung6ix "Plenty Money"
Not
MUTATING in a society with a different culture would defy human nature and metaphysics that's why people of other races have a hard time doing it also.
Those that choose to focus intensely on their culture are not the norm of any race. Of course they are not considered self-hating like
MUTATED Black Americans are.
So here we have the basis of the argument I had with
"The Artist".
It stemmed from me challenging his belief that all Black women that manipulate their natural hair are self-hating, brainwashed individuals and need to turn away from the
MUTATIONS developed within White society.
Of course I don't agree, I understand that many
MUTATIONS have become ingrained in the lives of many with no thought of self-hate. We might relax our hair, grow it out, wear braids, weaves and many different hairstyles but it does not mean we are aiming be White.
It means we have been influenced by the media that does not simply show Black women. But we are exposed to a media that shows women of other races who we like who are admired. Therefore we emulate their
ENERGY consciously or subconsciously. Just like many peole emulate American culture.
We are also influenced by technology and change like most people. Even if Black men continued to embrace our natural hair over the years, Black women would have came up with different ways to adorn their hair and manipulate their hair to get different looks. Again, it's natural and human nature.
For example we were influenced by Halle Berry's signature cut in the movie "Strictly Business"
There's no way in the world you could have told a Black woman that wearing this style was due to being brainwashed and a reflection of trying to be White, I know I had the cut. To me this is a fair
MUTATION. A
MUTATION that would have occurred regardless of our negative hair plight in society. Just like African women will straighten their hair with mud. Drop a flat iron that can be heated over hot coals in their village, they will eventually use it, realizing they can do different hairstyles and they will do it simply because they can.
Wearing styles that where created by
MUTATED African Americans is a natural
MUTATION, but does not change the
ENERGY of Black women. Believe me unlike many comments White people make towards someone like Beyonce who looks like a White woman at times, a White person would not look at a Black woman with this style and say she's trying to be White. It would seem ethnic to them.
Give Black woman a break, or maybe some Black people are under the misunderstanding that though we are in America we want to shun it's
ENERGIES completely and make African culture our basis because it's where our ancestors are from. An honest fact would be to realize that many Black people are fine with being African American. Many Black people would love to learn about their history and culture, but they would not welcome completely transforming and going back to the most primitive, natural form of an African(if that still exists).
I feel we are a breed of Black people who has to find balance within our
MUTATIONS. Trying to go beyond that and become the "rawest" essence of
where we came from is a choice. It's a choice that has to be focused on
and desired. And because the Universe continuously churns, and in the
process
MUTATES things, it's an unrealistic demand of the people. With
certain modifications within our race and culture we could be highly
functioning
MUTANTS here in America.
After-all that's what we are that's what we will always be and it's what the Universe knew would become of us. Our entire culture is a
MUTATION it's a mergence of African and American culture.
Here's an example of a
MUTANT:
I like these styles:
And I like these too:
