Hating People

To hate or not too hate, to love or not too love. This is the dilemma. I choose to love and live positive.

Hating other races,
because of the color of their faces.
Hating your nation,
because of the presidential position.
Hating the president,
because he is confident.
Hating life,
because of all the strife.
Hating altogether,
because of not being together.


I'm not going to allow myself to live in hate,
I'm going to understandably relate.


Overcome, adapt and improvise.

Understand that if I don't positively adapt,
my whole life might end up being inept.


I'm a black man in America,
if I allowed hate to rule me,
I would end up hating about
three fourths of the planet.


To much hate for me!

Almost every part of our world
has dumped on the black man and other
people of color in some way. 


How the hell you going to tell me to hate the president?
If I allow myself to hate the president, why don't I just hate the whole freaking nation. Especially everyone with a white face. Why don't I just hate every nation who made slaves out of my black brothers and sisters.


No not me!

All you people who want to hate our nation and the president, why don't you get the hell out? Go live somewhere else. I've been told that by some racist,

"why don't you go back to Africa?"

Well, I'm not going anywhere. My peoples didn't ask to be brought here and I was born here. This is my home, like it or don't like it. And for you political haters out there, don't come on my site with your bull about hating the nation and the president.

I'm a grown ass 53 year old black man with about twenty more good years left to live if I'm lucky. I'm going to try and enjoy the rest of my life without going the direction of all you haters out there. I'm going to enjoy the good things we do have and not worry anymore if the f'ing president is perfect.
There's no such thing as utopia or a perfect place to live, life is real short. If you wait around to enjoy a perfect president and America your a-s might not live to enjoy sh-t. One of those terrorist might end up blowing you the F up.

This is a one way conversation,

I'm not interested in hearing nothing about anything negative. If you like what I wrote say so or don't. Other than that take your hate and political crap somewhere else.

If a black man can learn to love his country every dam body should, especially after we've been hung off trees, dragged behind trucks, and terrorized.
