What you think about blacks people of African descent is from negative media shared for centuries
"Slaves". "Son of a slave". "Generation of slaves." How convenient
What you weren't told though
Is that "slaves" are stolen humans from Africa
Kidnapped, trafficked, traded, stolen - synonyms
By who? You mean who stole them? Google "the book of Negroes," read or watch the movie
Know
that "slaves" had fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, and dogs... just like you
that with each stolen "slave", African families were broken, mothers went berserk, lost their mind, they died insane, searching for their missing families,
that "slaves" came from established cultures and kingdoms
that some blacks you see still hurt from the intrusion
most just want to find their roots, you took that from them
that after "slaves" were stolen from Africa
things fell apart, the center has refused to hold
So, next time you say the word "slaves," do think deeply
Next time you see a person of African descent, think deeply
Now that you are more informed
Go do the right thing.
