I've never made the Stockholm connection between an entire nation, especially a free nation, and a one group of people that live there. A few thoughts have come to mind but this topic has the potential to be broken down in many ways and instances. My initial opinion on this is that our community does not suffer from this syndrome since we are not captives and are free to come and go and for the most part do as we please. Is it possible that our history as being slaves has a hold on us, keeping us in a mindstate of a people shackled and chained in bondage? If so, why do we remain in this state of mental self-imprisonment forfeiting every opportunity to force and reinforce black culture in America.

It's not Stockholm Syndrome that makes some of us emulate yt's behaviors, styles, or ways of living. Our women dont wear weaves to look more European. Our men dont date yt and yt only just to be closer to and accepted by yt....etc... We are no longer captives of this nation. We are no longer captives of yt. We are captives of ourselves and this is all due to a lack of black culture thats been taken away from us but not forgotten and its sure time to force and reinforce our ways on this nation and its people. i will be back to add to this one
