I have seen some of us be so nasty to our brothers and sisters. But then it is expected because look how some of us treat each other.

That's a shame, and it breaks my heart. There is so much division that goes back and forth. I remember attending a function at Howard University, and at the same time an African family rented a room for a family function in the same building and my friend and I went into their room by mistake because we couldn't find the right room for this university function. When we walked up to the door we asked if this was the room for the such in such, we got the evil eye literally, as if we were demonic and had envaded their territory, and I could have gotten angry, which I was, but not because of their reasons for being angry that we came in their room, but for the fact that this in house discrimination has gone too far, and black americans don't make it better given that some of us have been so colonialized that we look down on our brothers and sisters from varioues regions outside of the US.
We've got to do better than this my people, because if we continue we take the place of the Slave Master.
