The word black is a lovely color, but it has picked up mostly negative meanings. When any group puts down another group down with oppression and suppression, those in power call them "blacks." History has proven that American Indians, Jews, Italians, Mexicans, Latinos and even the Irish have been labeled "blacks" at one time or another. There's no pure nationality (more consistent word for race) since every one of us living today are blood relatives from centuries of mixed marriages.
Dear Ones,
It's sad to know that today racism that never ended is now raising its ugly head even higher. Grim brutality (from militant cops with war guns and machines) only incites the rage 100-fold. In Ghana, Africa I observed a tank painted blue makes its rounds every day.
Threatening dark-complexioned human beings with physically force only makes any free person under a secular, democratic government angry and causes people to rebel. Unbiased education about how the term "human race" began will always trump Jim Crow lynching going on for centuries against American Africans. We need to talk about this instead of saying, "Never discuss religion or war politics–what the church forbade because it didn't want any flack, just absolutist programming of youths who become adults and are still afraid to speak out.
When no one in authority listens to pleas for help, protestors of all nationalities become violent terrorists burning down buildings and smashing windows of businesses that have served them for years, as they shoot themselves in the foot. It's a vicious cycle circling the globe for a countless amount of time–needless torturous wars included.
Today the only group of people who are pegged "black" are American Africans and islanders who were captured from the beautiful continent of Africa and shipped to sea islands as human cargo–with the whipped men even forced to row themselves in chains in the bottom of nauseating slaver ships!
When you erase any person from his homeland by calling him or her black, you are damaging the ego. It amounts to soul-wrenching torture–descendants of slave masters and their slaves who all were enslaved in a rotten system together, provoked by biblical words that man says come from "God!" Who in their right mind would worship such a satanic demon!
As soon as slaves were forced on these ships they were baptized with buckets of sea water thrown on them. They were then informed, "You all are now Christians and God demands that you obey your masters."–bogus words right from the Bible and New Testament.
