Message To The Blackman
If slavery was a choice, as some have agreed, then what are we? If watching your father and mother endure rape or murder was a choice, Then why do we sit on idle hands, while Trump eradicates our posterity’s opportunities, As if they were written in sand? If not being able to read was a choice, Then why do you...

The Real Black History
Written By: D. Collins 2/26/24 When I hear "a country of immigrants" I wince in pain. Because one ethnic group traveled here in chains. They didn't walk across the border seeking a better life. They were snatched from bed, men, children, and wives. Once they got to America they were sold off like beef. A father to North Carolina, wife...

So, in commemoration of Black History Month 2024, again, I offer this prayer: Dear God: May this generation of Black Americans never lose the knowledge of OUR Father God. May WE...

A Letter To My Nephew
Dear J I’m sorry this is the world you live in, walking the streets judged by both sides. I know you’re called a milky way- not fitting in to the black or white divide. But if you could choose who to align with I think you’d be confused. There are innocent black men labelled as murderers, attacked by law abiding officers. I...
