On "Unity" and Progress
So I wandered back over to the site of conflict to find a disturbing post I'm sure my roommate and I inspired the author to write. It was a comical piece in my eyes and not the least bit infuriating. I'm perfectly OK with her 5 Reason You're (Me, and Antionette) Are Not Ready To Swirl. She has the right to interpret what we said anyway she likes! As an adult, I don't expect everyone to completely agree with what I'm saying. That's unrealistic! I don't think that unity is built around completely and totally agreeing with what someone is saying but rallied around a cause. We may have different ways of uplifting black women and black people but we are both attempting to do that in a society that would rather we not. I commend you Christelyn, even if you don't appreciate me pointing out the shortcomings on your blog. I know criticism can be hard to take (Just look at Tyler Perry's reaction to Spike Lees criticism...nuff said!) but it is necessary in order to keep moving forward. I hope that any readers who have conflict with what I'm saying don't hesitate to call me out! This is how we learn and grow! As long as we can come to some common ground, it doesn't matter to me what route we take to reach our goal of uplift and forward movement! Peace, Love and Progress!
