*Editor's Note: Throughout human history, there have been numerous examples of man's inhumanity to man, of horrific pain inflicted upon one particular group by another. Even if your "people" did not experience slavery, you may reflect upon another experience in your own history. Or consider that there are many forms of slavery.
There is a metaphysical principle that says whatever we do to someone else, we actually do to ourselves. This principle supports the golden rule "do unto others." We forget this and when we do, we create an imbalance in our own being. When we malign another person, we are talking about the self. When we deal dishonestly with someone, we are cheating the self. When we abuse, neglect or abandon another, we are doing it to the self. Why? Because we are connected by the one Creative source. This source creates a responsibility for, accountability to and dependence on one another. The moment we allow the self to believe it can do without other people we create the kind of loneliness, depression and disconnection that makes life not worth living.
I am one with the Source. I am one with mankind.

Hello Mr. David Johnson,
I assume your audience is Black Americans! I do not know what your point is either! However, what I do know is that Black America’s only permanent solution is that we desire to become a sovereign people on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to worship God, to pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way!
The motivational speech rhetoric and nonsense Black Americans do not need it, am I right.
What if you would think as Moses thought, perhaps you would support the concept of Black America’s sovereignty. God inspired me to know that Black America’s only permanent solution is that we desire to become a sovereign people. God inspired Moses that the children of Israel’s only permanent solution was that they should desire the Exodus.
Can you connect the dots and similarities between Moses and me as well as the children of Israel and Black Americans?
So, again, Black Americans do not need any motivational speech! Black Americans needs to be and will be come soon a sovereign people on the portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders. Tell Black Americans about the need to be completely independent from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders.
Tell me what you think.
