We should be free


There is a museum in Baltimore. A slave museum which I have heard from two separate negroes is moving and inspirational. 

I am afraid to visit it. I am too impressionable, the things that seem to stir nothing in my fellow Negroes seems to send me into a blind rage, no anger, no it feels more like righteous indignation. See I don't look to hurt nothing I look to change everything.  I wish to erase the shame that seems to follow my race like a cloud of disgrace. Like we did something before our father's father grandfather time. Why haven't we done our time, why are we always in chains, why are we always slaves. Why are we at the bottom of a trade we ourselves invented. 

I guess this is our fault eh? For being the first to use it we get the full abuse of it? That excuse is old as Noah. We have no limitations, there should be no intimations or false interpretations of ancient words. We are not descendants of slaves and have no where to go but up. The top may be lonely as the rich man is no friend of God. But we at the bottom, we at the bottom who are last, to us he says we shall be first! Because the Lord is our shepherd, the lord is the fighter for the meek, the shield for the humble and the glory of the last. 

It is not us who shine but the Lord shining through us. 

It is what scares me away from that museum, see it is in the history of our complete defeat as humans I see our strength as a people. We needed to be free and free we became. We need to be united in our freedom and united we will be. It is the hope of every single slave that never made it to America. At the bottom of the Atlantic are drowned dreams of unity. And those dreams drowned in the transatlantic ocean have been slowly washing themselves ashore. It is now our great pleasure, it is our gift, it is now our honor to live the dreams of sacrificed negroes.

 It was not the ambition of the enslaved Negro to live a better life in this new land. That was the dream sold to the American Negro. It was the one and only goal of the Negro to unify himself with the others most like him and take his humanity back! It was the motivation of the Negro to not live in bondage and let us remember that bondage is not always done with chains one of the first chains we endured was the mental bondage of inferiority. The first in is the last to go as it is in all things. We negroes with our spirit near broken and our union in taters still cuddle on to the security bondage of inferiority. We believe this is how it will always be we cannot do any better so why bother making a change, just run for the cash and run out the hood. We can not stand each other like everyone else cannot seem to stand us. 

Our safety and security of our unity is gone, we are in a full blown civil war and outside interference keeps us fighting. Negroes, Black people, African-Americans they use to call us colored and a whole bunch of other names but it is all one in the same. They all identify a group of people as much as they are used to try and infer a status or certain behavior. 

We have nothing to fear of our past and have only to work towards our future, and our children's future and their grandchildren's future so that they do not have to live in a world where they wonder what you did wrong to God to make the negro race so low. It could be worse however, there could soon be no Negro at all. And then future civilizations will name underfunded sports teams after us.
