The word Nig..r has become accepted, while respect for each other has been rejected.
The word Nig..r flows out of the mouth of Black against each other, Blacks to each other … Big and small alike, Nig..r is a word that MANY seem to like. It is appalling that in THESE TIMES there are Still Amendments written in the law that have a time limit on Basic Human Rights…
Our “Right To Vote Time Line Is Up and there is a stir in the air … Memories of restrictions and detentions of basic human rights flood the mind… Some greet this news with approval others seek the removal of these violations; many would like to turn back the hands of time when People of Color Knew Their Place. They will Vote in their Congressional Rooms, opening old wounds while reminding themselves that Outside Pressure is the only Reason For Change. Civil Rights will be discussed with energy and vigor … Human Rights still must take a back seat. Reparations, apologizing for Slavery, are not seen as Important for these Law Makers, who secretly and sometimes openly cling to Old Southern Mentality. Do a self-check and Ask Yourself about yourself … If it makes you smile and vanity is not leading the way, I understand that you are doing your part in teaching and reaching the people, for this I applaud the likes of you. For those who refuse to self-check and continue to give power to negative energy, may these poetic thoughts stir you…
ASK YOURSELF How can we RISE in POSITIVE NUMBERS if some of us keep finding excuses to not ELEVATE OURSELVES when given the chance? How can we COMPETE with those others who scorn us, mock our intelligence, ridicule our schools as inferior, spread lies and half-truths about our MAGNIFICENT and RICH HERITAGE? ![]() Today like yesterday we weep for another unjust verdict … It appears that certain sects of this great country still refuse to SEE US as people … While searching for justice, I began searching for my tribe of warriors. Perhaps I am related to YOU. My teachers were many: JESUS, GARVEY, ELIJAH, SOJOURNER, MEDGAR, HARRIET, SHAKA, MALCOLM, KING, GWEN… DO YOU KNOW ME?? The Blood of My People is on Your Hands…
The Destiny of My People was Altered by Your Hands… YOU-know-who-YOU-are… The Land of My People was taken and Raped by Your Hands… The Rivers of Blood were given Birth by Your Hands… YOU- know- who-YOU-are… |
