"I'm tired of being black."

  i was approached with the comment, "I'm tired of being Black."  The comment was made by a young Black Brotha' who blames society because his success hasn't come in 1 day.  He asked me,  "Why do Black People battle one another to make it to the top?  We fight to make it to the top of success."  I responded, "That's what we have been taught."  Our minds are not set to make it to the top of corporate America.  We are set to make the 2nd string position because we feel that we can't be 1st string.  We want to be the quarterback because we have lack in faith towards being the coach.  So why can't we work hard to make it to the top?  Remember we have to respect the Brotha' who has worked hard for the position.  He's now the coach.  Why can't we wish the Brotha' the best towards his accomplishment?   He may be able to put your name in the huddle to get the job as the quarterback.  So remember, there is good in everyone.  You have to overlook what's bad and fight to be the best.  The Coaches position may be open tomorrow.
