Black Talk

To a discernible memory. To stolen identity. How can we forget slavery? We’ve become pitiably. Not having any self-acceptance and self approval was our inferiority. The corpus of unjust laws and the ghettoizing of our people placed in poverty. The way we’re treated and disrespected in our cities, communities, and society. After the marches, sit-ins, civil right movements, and all that our leaders have done and we still have no unity. But society was shock due to our talents, skills, intellect, creativity, and emerging personality. Sometimes I’m crushed by an infectious malevolence that plaques our community. Racism has a blade that cuts through our equality, liberty, and democracy. With our collateral knowledge and our bravery let us nurture and educate our young about our lost history. Through all the Jim Crows, and walls of racism, hatred, bigotry, and obscurity. We live ethically with Christianity and had spirituality. We must continue our march and fight for justice and equality.
