Why Blog or who Even Cares to know some truth?

I had the most RIDICULOUS thing happen to me.

Some kid who is very angry and "pretends" to be black on another website had the audacity to tell me he rather read his comics than understand that Assata Shakur is not Tupac Shakur's mother. (Afeni Shakur is Tupac's mother) The kid TELLS me that he had no desire to read Assata Shakur's book for he knows that is Tupac's mother, and he is too busy to read her book because he has his comics and other stuff to read.

I wanted to VOMIT when I read his response on top. I said to myself screw all that I have tried to do. That is beyond disrespectful but flat out RUDE. This kid annoys me EVERY FREAKING WEEK with a zillion questions about black pride, etc. but the kid never took my advice and blogged. So guess what, he gets the silent treatment. He is invisible to me. Screw it. I cannot take him anymore. It's the arrogance that gets to me and this entitlement attitude from him that touched a strong nerve in me.

Assata Shakur was a black panther who was accused of killing a police officer and she fled to Cuba for there is a warrant for her arrest.

What further angers me is that I actually know Assata's daughter so this hit a personal nerve.

I even did not know that my friend was Assata's daughter for I was only her residential assistant in college. She never discussed her mother but her grandmother. I did not make the connect that her mother was THE ASSATA SHAKUR until another student told me and I almost died. I had read Assata's book in high school so it was almost surreal to realize that her daughter was under my care. During her time with me as her Residential Assistant in college, she was very respectful, quiet and always a delight to speak to. I have no idea where she is now but the last thing I knew was that she was married with child.

Thank you for letting me share my story and blow off some steam..
