If you are easily offended then this is not the post for you. Your best bet is to exit stage left. This post is for the individuals who I want to do better. I want my people and anyone else who feels that they have been treated like a second class citizen to do better. But it starts with us. If I don’t tell you then who the hell will? Please feel free to add on. Here a few coon a** activities that I want my ethnic people to stop immediately. This of course does not apply to all ethnic people so use it where it applies. Also, feel free to add on in the comments. If you don’t help them, how will they know?

1. Being unwilling to try other foods besides what you are accustomed to. Also stop turning your nose up to things like Chinese food and Thai food then saying crap like “Chinese food is made from dogs and cats”. We are not in Cambodia or some place. We have chicken, beef and fish on demand here. It is not hard to find. These people are not feeding us cat and dog.

2. Stop saying everyone is hating on u. Maybe people don’t like you because you are an a-hole. Consider your own behavior before you jump to the “hating” defense. Also, just because someone disagrees with what you are doing or saying does not automatically mean that they are hating on you. Having a difference of opinion or a dislike of something is not the definition of hating.

3. Stop selling loose cigarettes and incense. If you have to hustle, step your game up.

4. Guys, stop approaching every girl the exact same way. Not every woman is going to respond to the same old line and the same game. Learn to be versatile. Also, refrain from getting all stank when the chick does not respond the way you want. Side Note: Stop assuming that just because u have a penis every woman is going automatically want some of it. It does not work that way.

5. Ladies, stop messing with men who you know have wives and girlfriends and then saying s**t like “well if she was taking care of business then I wouldn’t be here.” Or “what his woman got to do with me?” as an excuse for your slutty behavior. She has a lot to do with you if he is double dipping in both of you and believe me, he is.

6. Ladies, stop wearing all those colors in your hair at once and expecting people to think you are so classy or give you a serious job. How can they take you seriously when you look like a snow cone or a My Little Pony doll? Sure it may not be right to judge a book by its cover but that is the world we live in unfortunately. Trust me, the corporate world could give a s**t about your attempts at “keeping it real” or “keeping it hood”.

7. Stop using your car, sneakers, jewelry, money, and other material s**t to define you. That s**t could get stripped from you at any time and once it did, your world would crumble and so would you.

8. Shooting when it is hot outside. Just because it’s hot does not mean you need to act a fool and fight. Hot is supposed to mean fun, jovial, happiness. Not danger! Run!

9. Everybody is not meant to be a rapper. At this rate there aren’t going to be doctors, teachers and lawyers in urban communities because everyone wants to be a damn rapper. Sure it may seem like quick and easy money but not everyone is meant to possess that lifestyle and not everyone is going to make it in the already over saturated rap game. If you are determined to be a rapper, and want to continue to pursue it, then do so but have a backup plan. Go to trade school, college etc.

10. Guys stop wearing those damn white T-Shirts everyday. Seriously, when will the madness end?
