Hello to all,
I have a question that any one of you could answer if you like.
Firstly, Black Americans know that White Americans raised us, taught us everything that we know, taught us how we should believe in God and gave us our Christian religion and what ever our faults we have is because of how White America deliberately raised us to be the people we are today.
Now, we also know that White America owns the real estate of this country as well as runs this country, including us, Black Americans. Everything we eat and have is what White America provided for us to have.
We were born into slavery in this country and no other people had their hands on us except White America, am I right.
We, as a people are severely mentally damaged as an abused child would be that we blame ourselves for our conditions not realizing that our only escape is to desire to become a sovereign people or have complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way.
Likewise, when a child abuse report has been made with Child Protective Custody the first thing the agency does is to remove the child from the abusive environment, am I right. In other words, we will always remain this ignorant and mentally damaged people that we are unless we become a sovereign people. We need God to do for us what was done for Moses and the Hebrew people when they were in bondage and in slavery in Egypt. We will become a sovereign people if you all could understand sooner rather than later the things I say.
Now, if Black Americans were a sovereign people on a portion of this continent how much more pride would all of you be of General Benjamin Oliver Davis, Jr.? The only rational answer is that you would be more proud and overwhelmed. Why it is that you all do not understand that, it is because your cognitive senses are numb?
We, as a people are subjugated, suppress and severely mentally damage, which is not new news to any of you. However, we do not comprehend our situation because we are severely mentally damaged, if we were not we would want to have our own. God bless the Child that got its own, am I right.
I am the way, and besides me, there is no other way that Black Americans could ever become a real people in this world. I am too Black Americans as Moses was to the Hebrew people. If anything that I have said is irrational than you please show me.
So, my question is this, why it is that we do not want to have our own.
Tell me what you think, but please answer my question first.
