Diary Of A Dope-Ass Spartan

The most common thing that's going on these days with out generation is the issue about commitment or lack off. With guys they can't make a commitment, they just want to reap the reward, they want to milk the cow before making a down payment and just the mention of a family one day makes them turn their backs and RUN. Girls crave commitment, contentment, they want to settle down so we don't understand why it would be hard for a guy to just make it official. I mean if ya'll have an agreement Then hey whatever floats your boat, whatever pings your pong, whatever blows your skirt up, literally lol. Now I'm going to move on to how girls commit before he even asks. I set up my friends a couple of weeks ago and they seem to be in love right now or in like with a capital L. Honestly I think they both have commitment phobia but who doesn't sometimes right? Their situation is perfect though because they live three hours away from each other. There's a quote that goes...

I wasn't going to post anything till tomorrow but boy am I mad!!!! Why do we support this? Why do we keep listening to their music when they are going right ahead and dissing us, disrespecting us, labelling us? This is really grinding my gears!! I'm pretty sure as black women we're all mad and next time I see someone hash tagging #teamlightskin #teamdarkskin I'm gonna slap some good sense into them. Growing up there was none of this.

Why can't I just be me? Why can't you respect me when I'm just me? My sister sent me that and she's mad too. She told me about this line that this guy...

I'm not a person who gets inspired easily, it takes something really big to get me going. I woke up to an Angela Davis quote today and three hours later I'm still in bed, still trying getting more acquainted with the icons that made it possible for me and all black women out there to have rights. For the first time in a long time I feel really passionate about something and I'm gonna hold on to this feeling for a long time. After getting to know more about my history, it kinda puts everything into perspective. You have someone like Assata Shakur who fought for you and is now an escaped convict because she stood up for what she believed in, someone like Rosa Parks who now has been reduced to a simple "NO" because that is the only word people make a mockery out of instead of focusing on the kind of impact that simple "NO" did. You have  Angela Davis famously known for her afro and yet there is so much more to the woman than some fashion statement.  There...
