Our Story does not begin with slavery…
Our story starts in an unknown time and an unknown place, but let it be known that it is black, this planet’s true face…
We are descended from the kings and queens from the great land known today by many as Africa.
It was our people who built the pyramids and cultivated the land.
This was done by our very own hand.
You see this world that we live in today, would not have existed had things gone our way.
We were the mightiest, and we fell because of unknown mistakes.
But these are the consequences if your intent is classified as fake.
Even in the darkest of times, and through the noise of the whip crack, we, as a people still managed to come back.
You see we are a strong, creative, kind hearted people, and that’s all there is to it, yet with this fog of twerking, sagging, and MIS-education, it’s hard to see right through it.
Into the heart of what we used to be, ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to revive the black family.
Do you know that if we as a people, united together and supported each other’s business, we would be the 6th richest nation in the world.
Yet we spend it on hair perms, weed and shoes, it’s time to WAKE UP…and stop listening to the news when they tell you that you’ll never amount to anything more than another statistic.
Times are rough right now and it’s only going to get harder, but dig this, he who carries the most weight ends up running farther. Simply because he has dealt with the problems of the world longer and has turned them into something that will make him stronger.
But before we stand up and get inspired and say “Preach it pastor, tell me how to get my spirits higher?” You have to see first that this is a collective effort that takes work. And you must get your burns before you are able to walk through THAT fire…
You must commit yourself to learning the teachings of The Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.
And believe me when I say that by any means necessary, will we accomplish this. But before you start looking around thinking, “what is this I’m hearing, what is this he’s saying” Think of how I mean this phrase, and then think of a way…
By any means necessary doesn’t refer to just violence, it refers to love as well. Love thy brother and thy sister. Thy mother and Thy father MUST be honored, because you were given to them for a reason. We must lift our brothers and sisters and teach them the way that life isn’t just about getting that check with your bi-weekly pay…
We must teach this next generation that drugs, weed, alcohol and sex are neither the answer nor the path. Instead teach them something worthwhile, like… how their ancestors invented math….
You didn’t know that did you? Well that’s for another time and another place, just remember that it is beautiful, your face…..
Because black is what is craved the most when you think about it…Oil is called BLACK gold…
The Friday after Thanksgiving…BLACK Friday……
The coal that when you put pressure on it makes diamonds….BLACK coal…..
Like Tupac said, “The Darker the berry, the sweeter the juice, and the darker the flesh the deeper the roots”
We are beautiful, and we make anything we do come to life. Can’t you see that by perming your hair, and your daughter’s hair, and your granddaughter’s hair, you’re only teach the next generation about self hatred and causing her strife?
Love the nappy, kinky curly hair you have because it’s a symbol of your connection to your God and when you straighten it out, you slowly but surely rid yourself of that connection. Black is the most beautiful thing on this earth, and you, you, and you all have it, which means that you are truly, beautiful…
You see you must also learn to love yourself and know that you, me, and we are a beautiful people, who have done so much I cannot even list all of our accomplishments here, but remember the time has come for us to listen to the song of change for our people, now lend me your ear…
