WHAT DOES THE BLACK RACE REPRESENT
What do we as the black race and the face of this country really represent? What is it that we stand for/ What is it that we live and die for? What is it that we eat and drink? What is it that we tried to teach to our own people? What is it that we are hated so much for? What the hell is it that we are killed for? What is it that we have been banned for? What is it that we have been lynched for? What is it that we have been? Well I will tell you what it is the hell that we have been through and still go though till this day and will always go through until the end of time. We go through life just wanting to be a part of this union that we call the united states of America. Now I will give you just six things that I think that most describes our people and my folks to the point of not ever giving up and to the point of dying for and the cause of death the becomes us for so many years and years to come. First is that we have to know that what I am about to show and tell you is a true to fact thing that is true and that will drive us to be a tree of life to others after we are gone from here. Now first is the peace that we want and the peace that surpasses all human understanding. Now how can you say that we want peace when peace is not what we show. I will tell you why we do not display this so called peace. Well you have to first know what the word peace means and I will too give you the true definition of peace and what god says peace is and what white America has taken away from us. Now there are many ways that we can define this and I will define this as: a state of security or order within a community provided for by law or custom. Now what does that say to you as a person who has seen things go in array within the community of the black race and the races of others that hold this same stigmata. I will tell you what it does to me and what it means to me as a black man in America. It shows me that we have no real protection in our communities as they have in other communities in America. I say this because I have lived in these communities and I have died in these same ones that we talk about. When I say die I mean to the point of not having the rule and the no how in how to help my people. I know that we have leaders that are in our communities, but they are thwarted by the white masses to bring us down and out. I am not the one that wants to point our everything, but silence is a killer in our communities. So now I will look at what else it is that we represent to the fullest and that is harmony. Harmony: an interweaving of different accounts into a single narrative. Now why would you say that I chose this one term for this word. When we all know that the first thing that comes to mind is the joyful noise that goes with the word. But at the same time I chose this because we still have a joyful noise but it is on a level of a narrative as of speaking and standing up and letting our voices be heard at the same time. We all know that we have a voice of a thousand and many waters and wars. But we are held at bay when it comes to trying you let our voices be heard. So what is it that we can do so that we can get our voices heard and our minds read at the same time. All that we have to do is stop trying to blame white America for so much that we only bring on ourselves. We can have a word but we have those in our inner circle that hold us back and not allowing us to move ahead. So it goes back to our black leaders and such. This is whom we ought to have the real problem with and not so much of white America, even though they play a big part in our hurts and wounds, but they do not hold on to the key of getting us to the land of milk and honey. So black America stop trying to blame others for what we are doing to ourselves. Now I want to look at the word that we all take for granted and the word that we use loosely. Love: The fatherly concern of god for humankind. Now this is the one that we should all know and the one that we should all come to learn as the true meaning of love and what it stands for. Now you cannot have anything without having god in it as we all know by now. God is the true foundation and the real true father of this world abroad. We have to come to grips to learn to teach our children the true meanings of what this world is based on and what grounds that we need to stay on. We cannot continue to teach our kids wrong. What we were taught was wrong and what my parents were taught is wrong and what my parents parents were taught is wrong as well. It all goes back to the thing that we learned in the bible when this one guy was riding through town and he was reading and he stopped. Now another a guy came up and asked him what was he reading and did he understand it. Well the story goes that he did not and the other guy got into the buggy with him and taught him right and taught him that when you read you need know what it is that you are reading and understand it and learn to teach it the way that it was properly taught to you. So I guess by now you know that it is to late to teach a old dog new tricks. But the thing is, is that we can still get the word out by teaching now the right way so that when your grand kids come up they will know that truth and they will spread the word to the whole world what god says and how it is meant to be said and taught. So stop lying to your kids and teach them right for gods sake. Now I want to look at a word that white America thinks that we all look for and it is not the case if you know our people and what we really and truly want. Sympathy: an affinity, association, or relationship between persons or things wherein whatever affects one similarly affects the other. Now we all know that some of us looks for this and some of us do now want it, but it seems this is the thing that white America tells our kids, that this is what we seek. But yes and no. Now yes we seek this sympathy for what affects one of our kind it affects all but no, we do not want to feel like white America and never do we want to feel like them. We want to feel like blacks ought to feel. We want what we want for our kind and our kind only. Why is it so hard for America to see this and to embrace what it is that we seek and hurt for. We are not asking for the so called 40 acres and a mule that we have been promised, we just want what is right and dutiful for our people and our kids and grandkids and kids that will continue to come after we are all dead and gone from here to see god. So lets all get on the same page and learn to love and cherish these last days that we have here on gods earth. Now this word is the word that a lot of black died for back in the Jim crow. Rights: The privilege to which one is justly entitled. Now this is where most of America got it all wrong when they (white Americans) made this one of the amendments. It is the one that says that we have the right to do this and the right to do that. The rights govern all men, no matter what race, creed or color. But why is it that America and white society gets it all wrong every time around. It irks me to know that we live in a world where it is not united but divided down the middle and up the ass Why do we pledge allegiance to that bullshit as flag when we are a country that lives not on the morals and the blood of those before us that really fought for this country and died, whey is it that we pledge to this flag. Now you know why when foreigners come into this country like the Muslims and such they do not bow down to the flag and pray to it. Not because of they are now citizens and all but they know that it is not what it represents. Now when I was young I had no choice but to pledge, but now that I know the truth I do not pledge or pray. I believe in god and all but it is on a one on one deal with me and him you see what I am trying to say here to you all that pray and fake the funk and do not know what the real truth is. But blacks had to die for me and you. They had to really get put into a era in their lives to where they had to get in front of the bus and get run over and to get into the ship of life that held them bay and at point to where they had no where to go. Some of them have even jumped off the boat into the river of freedom instead of go the land of racism and hatred. So you see we all have the same rights as others and we all have the same blood that runs through their veins that run through mine. You see freedom then was death from the white race and today we have to see the same things that our ancestors saw, and really run with it and go and be at peace and good will with the father of souls and minds. Now this is the one that clearly is the last but not the least of the one thing that we as blacks represent and die for still and that is; Justice: The quality of being just, impartial, or fair. Now what do you consider to be
