THEY ARE ALL IN THIS ALONE…THE BEGINNING!

I believe that vision is the ability to see the future through the past; and MANY Africans in the U.S.A. can’t seem to let go of the past. Don’t get me wrong slavery was a tough pill to swallow and NOTHING segregates America like skin color. They allow complexion and feature differences to create this us VS them society. Be you black, white, red or blue, I am of the opinion that the ONLY thing that separates us from each other is how we ourselves and others in the world. @ The end of day, we SHOULD all be forging together as one…after all we are one BIG FAMILY! But I noticed that when it comes to our families, we tend to ONLY see our differences. We see the way they cling to ideas we don’t believe, or act in ways we try not to act. We see how practical we are and wonder how we can be the same. Similarly, within the African family we see how different we are from each other, ranging from gender to religious beliefs; it is almost as if they think they are a different species sometimes. Hence the reality of what exist is ALWAYS left of the middle of what I think should exist.

Kind of crazy when you think that in TRUTH they really are the same. I feel that by them ACKNOWLEDGING how close they are, instead of clinging to what separates them it would do them all some good but…Isn’t life all about being able to understand AND relate to people who, on the surface, may seem very different from us? This awareness prevents us from disconnecting from people on the other side of the tracks, and the other side of the world. But it seems as if black persons in America don’t understand this concept and the diabolical nature of knowing that you are apart of the problem and do NOTHING about it, THEY WILL ULTIMATELY DESTROY THEIR SOULS! When you allow the lies and psychological manipulation to damage your mind, you continue to live with the psychological damage that racism brings. In my opinion, the agent of this psychosis is worse than those whose minds are poisoned to believe racist ideas and become THEM! This is a sickness that MUST be cured, but ONLY when you deal with victim and the perpetrator…which in MOST cases tend to be one in the same. The rape AND carnage that was brought upon Africans living in America and everywhere else in the world CANNOT be escaped! So it is OUR duty as humans to build upon that which hurts us.

HOW DO THEY ACHIEVE SUCH A FEAT? WHAT CAN THEY DO TO GET PASS THAT WHICH STANDS IN THEIR WAY? ARE THEY TRULY IN THIS ALONE?

KEEP READING FOR MIDDLE…

  1. Great post - the world is full of haters of all kinds. The worst kinds are those who think they have a right to be.

  2. I've missed your mind-bending thoughts, dude!

    I hate to say it but racially black folks are like children or as the bible might say, sheep. We need a shepherd and we have not had shepherd in decades. Our energy is not focused but scattered and divided. That great anthem, "we shall overcome" should have been used to say we shall overcome ourselves."

    But that being said we cannot deny the pressures and issues that impinge upon our community from the outside, politically, economically and socially.

    But you are correct much work could be done if we, racially, would re-orient ourselves and our attitudes. The NAACP is under new leadership now and along with the Congressional Black Caucus and other notable black organizations should be guiding lights. But too often they are clueless themselves!

  3. Sometimes I am not sure what to believe - I hear the voice of Black America and I see the evil side of White America - is the reaction of Blacks some form of self defence or is it an excuse - I really don't know. But I guess we have to look at what is right - and maybe that is that Blacks in America needs to let the past be gone and focus on the future.

  4. We all are disgusted by the taste of hate when it is directed at us but never seem to recognize that we hate just as fervently in return. No culture is immune from this. None.

    What happened to the roots of Black Americans was a tragedy for those families they were torn from in Africa and a further compounded tragedy that lasted a hundred plus years after the civil war.

    But blacks were not, though they were the most heavily, only people who were discriminated against. Irish, Italians, Chinese, Eastern Europeans all tasted the same shit. And all ate it and turned it to loathing for others not like themselves.

    I have personal perspective of living as a minority (white) in the midst of a majority (black) population. Am I readily accepted? Oh hell no I have been targeted with slurs and shit same as any minority population has been.

    Yet what constantly amazes me is that living in Detroit, the most openly, vitriolically segregated place, in the nation is that still there is among the dominant populations (black and white) a complete refusal to acknowledge the good in either culture.

    ALL blacks are welfare dogs, and thieves looking to rob a white person which makes them not worthy of respect. And ALL whites are whiners and complainers who refuse to let go of a city they once controlled and moved out of.

    Go to freep.com, skip the local articles, and go right to the comment section to see this point illustrated.

    Me personally, don't give a crap about any of it. I heard Dr. Kings tune up speech before that day on the National Mall. Content of character has always made sense to me.

    That I am surrounded by a sea of incompetence of character in both city and suburbs is what makes me pause and also forces me to restrict severely the people I allow in to my face world. Anyone who thinks on the basis of race is always excluded first.

  6. great post:)
    I could not agree more. I find Afro Americans practice a reverse racism. I don't know about you but I don't find our African race who still live on the continent are anywhere near as racist as their cousins ...in the US. I have heard people like Barak Obama, Bill Cosby and Oprah Winfrey referred to as "Coconuts" ie, brown on the outside but white on the inside. It's the "Tall Poppy" syndrome I suppose. Anyone who tries to better themselves in a community gets cut down.Isn't it time we just got on with being who we are, black and white and proud of who and what we are. It doesn't matter whether you're black, white or brindle you will encounter some form of racism in your life.We are the colour we are because of evolution? Skin colour is a necessity of the climates we live in, not bec...ause one is better physically or mentally than another.The worlds next big racial discrimination exercise will be religious. We've been there before but no one ever seems to learn lessons from the past. What's that saying? "Those that don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it". That's what this world's been doing since time began.
