Have you ever been around someone who claimed that, "Mama didn't raise no fool..." yet all that seems to come out of his or her mouth is foolish things? Today, I just wanted to share my observation on the foolishness I have seen over time in the black community from the bottom to the top!
Government staff
Whether serving in local, national or international government, how do some fools get some of these jobs? When it comes to organizing, contributing, coordinating, or coming up with strategic plans, why is it always some kind of unnecessary confusion that usually stems from pride with some black folks? The wealthy black man, with little or much education, thinks he knows it all so he is going to tell someone (who knows more than him) why something doesn't work, or worse steal ideas so as to appear like he knew all along. He might even go so far as to sell his brother out if he doesn't come begging for his job, willing to do a few things for him, and make other sacrifices that will ultimately make that manipulative black leader shine just a little brighter. So the one who thought he could fool others, eventually gets played like a fool because above him is an observant white man or woman watching the whole thing play out!
Teachers/Counselors
Why is it when an issue arises at the workplace, home, or church, some of our people act like they can't be taught anything or was never made aware of something. The teacher who was taught by someone over her doesn't know what is happening. The counselor is overlooked, because a group doesn't think it is wise or beneficial to get outside help and so on. When problems occur, someone needs to address them. With the right help, fires are put out quickly. But some black folks love fires, all kinds, it must be a generational thing--in the bloodline. If they aren't creating them, they are waiting for the non-black to put it out because some don't trust their own people, while watching and smoking their cares away!
Parents
I see far too much foolishness when it comes to parenting. When is it okay to teach any child nasty dances, nasty music, nasty lifestyle, nasty language, nasty jokes, nasty anything! The living conditions with some foolish people usually reflect all the nastiness, then they wonder why they just never feel at peace and why a child runs wild. You reap what you sow! It was all cute when the children were babies, now these kids turned adults are doing what, or are they fools behind glasses and expensive clothing and shoes? Ignore what the parents and grandparents say, see for yourself! Did Mama raise a fool?
Country
Foolish people are like the poor, they will be with us always! Try ridding yourself of them and sooner or later you will encounter another and another. The fact there is a day still being celebrated about foolishness or misleading behavior, shows just how immature our country is. As tempting as it might be to act a fool today or any day throughout the year, consider that many of our people have been acting a fool almost daily in media and elsewhere and are locked up and locked out as a result.
We don't need to wish the fool a happy day, rather we need to warn him or her, "Time is up for many. You might be one of them. Look around and notice your Creator's wrath is imminent. Do you know Jesus?"
There are many court jesters on television screens, Internet and elsewhere and many of these black men and women are being called out of a wicked kingdom doing sinful business into a righteous kingdom doing godly business. Are you one of them? Mama didn't raise no fool, but she prayed for one! God bless.
