Are we all in Crisis Together?
What can we do about it? We can choose to still respect ourselves, ignore the ignominy and the spite they spit out at us and still live very beautiful and fulfilling lives. As well we dont need to be on the defensive as they would like us to be. Being always on the defensive keep us from using scant energy to accomplish the real things that matter in life. If you notice, when the beasts of the forests are defending territory, they have no more time then to accomplish anything else.
Let us move away from emotional territorial defense and instead focus on the good that we can accomplish. Tell yourself that you are a trillion times better than all those who try to hurt you and you will be amazed at how easy it will become to get over the slights and the hurts and the fear you feel. Whenever you are in a bad situation because others treat you with irrelevance, keep telling yourself how better than they you are. Repeat it a thousand times if you must. Eventually your subconscious mind will get the point and you will come off much better for the experience.
I have written a book that will help though you must first read through the tough parts. You can find it at www.albertjamesonline.com www.albertjamesonline.ca. The book is titled Blacks and the Politics of Hate. I wrote it because a former employee of mine asked me one evening when I was driving him home - Why Blacks were hated? I tried explaining that initially it was not our fault but that in some cases we may not be as civilly and as progressively mobile as we ought to have been.
I realized then that either way the answer to his question would open a can of worms. Not everyone on the other side believe that they should take responsibility for what they did to us, and not everyone of us believe that we should take responsibility for our own actions and make changes necessary to our own well-being.
The book looks at and seek answers to many of the questions that a lot of us ask ourselves. I am obviously black and a lot of discussion that I have with Blacks from all over the world seem to harp on the same thing. They all think that there is a problem somewhere even without me soliciting their opinion. Do we have a problem? Why not read the book and find out? The answers might surprise you.
