United Past (FreeWrite)
Looking for an escape. Break down coming about. Don't shoot from the gun shoot from the mouth. Getting paid and getting laid is the top priority. Everybody saying *** the authority. Scream like your ancestors when they were being beat. When they were hung from a tree by a leash. Went from slavery to civil rights to segragation that ain't right. Say it like you mean it and no ifs or in between it! They done seen it we see it! No nurture just nature! No love just hatred. Individuality is now learning to submit. Hearing them gun sounds is how it goes down in the hood. I would get an education if I could. You can. We can. Change every single man. With a plan. We can all land on a cloud of certainty if we plant the seeds so every person gets what they need. Crabs in a barrel we were made to be this way. And this how we stay just how they lay - Ed us down. We drown in our own ignorance. Tryna get rich or die trying. Forefathers legacy was do much greater. Just change to re arrange Their current situation. Real meaning of struggle for something greater. Expanding their minds not pockets for I'll see you later. Real meaning of hustle. Hustling of the people to get up that steep hill. Got you to the point because you said you wanted to be free. Now see that's a dose of our own reality.

I believe, sister, that you said WAY too much for a one word response. Wow! Deep! No disrespect- but that's obvious. Those of our people who can see beyond all of these technological advances know that our people are still living the American nightmare. Where can we find so-called "Black leadership" if our leaders continue urging us to integrate into a society that continue to reject us. What we are seeing is that the world was taught to hate us and that an overwhelming majority of us have learned to hate ourselves. What can save us? Expand our minds- for example- if God is our Father- what happened to our Mother. By the time the Bible and Qur'an are written, She has already been forgotten. Your voice is different than most of the women on this site, why? If at all possible, you and I should talk. Aquarius Khan
