Struggles

STRUGGLES WE AS A RACE HAVE HAD OUR STURGGLES AND TESTS WE’VE COME OUT VICTORIOUS BUT NOT BECAUSE WE ARE THE BEST IT IS THE LORD WHO SAW US THROUGH THE HARD TIMES IT IS HE WHO GAVE US CONTROL OF OUR DESTINY IN DUE TIME. OUR ANCESTORS WERE SOLD OUT BY MEMBERS OF THEIR RACE SOUNDS FAMILIAR? EVERYDAY THIS TYPE OF THING TAKES PLACE WE STRUGGLE ENOUGH TO GET AHEAD IN THE WORLD BUT UNFORTUANTELY, WE HAVE OTHER AFRICAN-AMERICANS BLOCKING OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, OUR BOYS AND OUR GIRLS SOME OF US TEND TO BLOCK OTHERS OF US FORM REACHING THEIR POTENTIAL BUT MANY OF US HAVE GOD ON OUR SIDE AND OUR SUCCESS IS EXPONENTIAL OUR FOREFATHERS HAVE BEEN THROUGH SLAVERY, BEING BEATEN AND POORLY CLOTHED, HOUSED, AND FED. SLAVE WOMEN WERE RAPED AND FAMILIES WERE TORN APART BUT IN THE SOUTH, THERE WAS NOT A LOT SAID IN 1863 SLAVERY WAS LEGALLY ABOLISHED, BUT THIS ACT WAS NEVER REALLY PUT TO BED SOME OF US, OUR PARENTS, AND GRANDPARENTS FELL VICTIM TO THE LAW OF JIM CROW WHEN THEY NEED HELP FORM EMERGENCY PERSONNEL THEY HAD NOWHERE THEY COULD GO. RACISM STILL EXIST AGAINST US, OTHERS OF COLOR, AND AGAINST OUR IVORY SISTERS AND BROTHERS RACISM EXISTS WITHIN THE RACE, WHEN SOME OF US THINK WE ARE SUPERIOR TO OTHERS THE LORD HAS BROUGHT THIS RACE THROUGH A LOT UNLIKE OTHER RACES, WE NEVER SUBJECTED TO GENOCIDE MANY OF US HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF OUR FREEDOMS AND BECOME SUCCESSFUL WHILE OTHERS HAVE FALLEN BY THE WAYSIDE IT IS WRONG FOR US TO BLAME WHITES OR ANYONE FOR THE SUFFERING OUR RACE WENT THROUGH WE SHOULD JUST BE THANKFUL THAT NOW WE HAVE A CHANCE TO GET TO GOD ALMIGHTY, WE CAN PRAY TO HIM FOR ANYTHING AND ANYONE AND HE CAN SAVE ANYONE REGARDLESS OF WHAT A PERSON HAS DONE. WE SHOULD PRAY FOR THE WORLD AS WELL AS OUR FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE NEVER KNOW WHEN WE NEED HELP FROM AN OUTSIDE ENTITY.
