Old school-New school-Back In The Day!

Slavery in all it's forms in America is a terrible situation when the mind has been depleted of culture, history and truth. I was reading some Twitters a few day's ago and came across a young man who questioned some of the black activities which involved fires and other forms of destruction within the black communities across the land in particular-Watts! His statement was; back in the day nigga's was destroying everything! What's the point if you're destroying your own communities? On the face of it-it sounds real until you dig into the truth-facts-reality! It's like the Old and New Testament-there had to be a foundation and this young man like many others didn't have a clue. If he remains in that ditch like many others they have no future of real substance. Many a brother-many a man and father fought and died to keep truth alive to bring forth a glorious future. To do so one must have a strong foundation. It's not enough to know the history of chains and shackles-lynchings burnings-castrations-broken homes-poor education if any-lynched if you were taught to read and write-thrown in jail for curfew-reckless eyeballing-being in certain part of town-treated like animals by police and citizen's now calling themselves patriotic Americans who today force you into jails for various crimes or the arms services where you die fighting terrorists. "Lest We Forget" the foundation close to home and time-Watts like traffic tickets was no plaything-design like the system to keep Blacks down and poor! Crime then and today was and is perpetuate from without the community. The business and home mortgage companies (Bankers) are run and owned by outside vested interests here and abroad. Watts in particular(back in the day) was a cesspool for smiling demons and thugs-selling garbage as food with high interest rates-everything else you brought was (4-9% higher than other areas! Dope was sold to keep you blind and dead under the table-to keep hope alive you were and are fed religion-nothing more than organized body and spirit takers. Your mother's to make ends meet left the area-to raise other peoples children and in many cases went into and some cases forced into prostitution and onto welfare rolls-when the welfare worker's came around all times of day and night to see if a man was in the home-they would have to jump out the window so the woman's county check wouldn't be cut off -big problem if children were involved. During this time many a mother spent much of the day and night sowing and making clothes to put on her children's back-or washing hand me Downs! There are many things I could say having lived back in the day. I hope what we have opened the window to will make some of the curious investigate some truth relative to the lies they are being told and the folly they claim to be living in freedom! Which brings us to the present day situation of the unfinished revolution of self God and Black power as we didn't just arrive on these shores from nothing into something. The nation state your ancestor's built on this land is crumbling and you are told you're something with a promissory note forget the past-let's come together and build as one people. what separated you and when were you paid for free labor enabling you to put your own house in order? Where's the Justice? Where's the land? Is this your system or have you even thought about the truth of it? There is not another people on this land that came here as you-worked like you-stripped of everything like you-pure Genocide! You want to believe you have a Black President in the White House who represents all peoples but you entitled to Land -Restitution-Reparations(even the Banker's and big business got a stimulus) of tax payer money...you've got what? Debt and Fore closers-looking for a job! To get a people of your stature and back ground to a point of self hate is terrible and sad-especially saying you know and love God-this is where we part company knowing I will not be in the bucket of Crabs going no where but over the cliff believing in everyone loving everyone but self and kind!
