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…
