American Negroes are a very diverse people

Unspoken Wisdom Speaks

American Negroes are a very diverse people; we come from all walks of life with different thoughts, beliefs, ideas, and fortunes given or cast upon us mostly by the ire of the man who wanted for us a high level of failure in our new found freedom and this person is none other than the malevolent Traducer

 American Negroes are a very diverse people; we were released-freed into a world of wide open space carrying with us rags for clothing, scraps for food, mostly nothing in currency, and a heaping helping overabundant amount of optimism, which mostly blinded us to the harsh wanton reality awaiting our arrival into a so called free society

American Negroes are a very diverse people; we believed freedom was all that was necessary for a good start in life after being in bondage for over 200 years, it is clear we were wrong in our thinking because the society that released us had a heart filled with disdain and disgust for us; bent on the idea of seeking out and obtaining its revenge for our ungrateful and self-serving abandonment of it, an idea borne in the fallacy of their minds

 American Negroes are a very diverse people; we were let loose like caged up beaten malnutrition dogs to roam free in the fields and prairies of America’s heartland, without the necessary governing organizational tools of survival or self-sufficiency because failure as a community on our part was expected or at least desperately hoped for; the spiteful plans they devised damaged and demoralized us as a people for an additional 100 years with repercussions’ felt to this very day.

 American Negroes are a very diverse people; we had no real leadership; we simply headed for the promise land known as the North, in hopes of seeking an open armed equality without realizing we would be competing for the same resources, jobs, and opportunity as those people currently living there, which of course created a new found contempt for us less than welcomed intruders

American Negroes are a very diverse people - Indeed, Yes Indeed

...hence, the collective hope, wish, prayer... dream. A promised land, stranger and wilder for the presence of two legged ...wild creatures... whose predominant reaction was... little more than indifference, but to cut no slack ...if you were black... well, targeted ...and executed rundown ...of the aftermath ...of a not so civil war... Would love to see your take on the masses of "freed" men, driven, surrounded, trapped ...and starved to death. Devil's hole.

Very beautiful piece, we are very unique in our resilience. Our movements are always spiritual, no matter how disenfranchised that we are, we always find our way back to one another.
