Why is that when we are being mistreated by white people we want to pull the Race card but when we abuse ourselves everyone is SILENT??

I watched a situation that happened a little while ago where a Caucasian person was having a very public disagreement with an African American person. Accusations were made, character bashing emails were sent out, embarrassing videos, tons of blogs were written, it was a tongue slanging war. Let's just say it got real Ugly! One day the drama reached it's peak, when a harsh email that was put out on the internet got so out of control that it landed it's place on Bet.com's blog, and inside of everyone's inbox. When that happened the African American Hip Hop community flew to the scene to defend the African American person's honor quick, fast, and in a hurry. They came through like Al Sharpton! Giving speeches, doing interviews, sounding just like an activist, but my question is why don't we respond the same way when we as African Americans do it to one another? Why do we insist on tearing each other down, & no one speaks up or speaks out? You wonder why there are so many one hit wonders and record sells aren't doing good, because we are too busy analyzing what the next person has, and pissed at what we don't have, so we don't support each other. Now yall know that's the truth, everybody who is in the music business that's reading this from a professional point of view knows that what I just said hits home. This is just how I feel, I'm addressing the fact that the media should give more attention to the positive things that people are doing rather than looking for the negative, & industry tastemakers let me tell you no one wins in the end when you start bashing one another, no matter what race you are. It's just anger, pray, leave it with God and walk away. I know that can sometimes feel like it's almost impossible to do at times, but guess what? It's better than making a complete fool out of yourself. I hope this message helps someone and touches someone's heart. I know from experience that bashing does not work it only makes things worse.
