Have you ever told your friend the truth about something that they were doing that was harmful to them and have them despise you for it? I mean, you simply told them that the activity that they are engaging in is bringing them great harm but for some reason they don't seem to realize it. And when you tell them about themselves, they label you the hater and distance themselves from you and continue to engage in the dangerous behaviour that is bringing them much sorrow and grief. Has this ever happened to you?
I have this "friend" who I tried to warn about a certain individual was going around spreading nasty rumours about him. This woman has made it her mission to have every other female who looks upon this guy believe that he is a black female hating racist. So, what is that going to do for his popularity? Not going to help as I can testify to because I have heard and read too much spoken and written about this person by black women who have basically written him off because of this portrayal. The problem is that that the way he has been portrayed is an utter lie. Yet, this "friend" who my "friend" is so fond of and hates me for pointing this out, is the one spreading and perpetuating this lie. And it has caused my friend harm in the way of jobs and revenue. So, when I try to point this out to him, I am the bad guy and the villain. So, here I am. The faithful friend, ostracized by the nut who embraces the viper to his bosom for comfort and am labled the hateful one while she is treated for all intents and purposes like the long lost sister. Doesn't make sense does it.
