Coming Back Black

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT.

Psalms 23:1"Time is like a river, you cannot touch the same water twice because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life."

********************************************

In a round table discussion about whether reincarnation was really possible, a financially struggling single woman said,"I want to come back as a rich white woman's poodle that's pampered and rides around all day in her luxury car."

A tired waitress said, "I want to come back rich and make a lot of money and be a mega-super recording star".

The frustrated computer tech said, "If I can come back, I want to be the President, so I can change a lot of things about this world near and far."

Another woman thought about it and said, "I don't know if it's possible, but if I can... God, please let me come back a BLACK WOMAN. I want to come back with a mind fierce and sharp, with a spiritual faith that never waivers or doubts. With a smile that is warm, and a body divine - with honey, cinnamonOr chocolate skin, draped in purple and gold. And, whether young or old, always have enough money so the words broke, layaway, overdue, or postdated check aren't in MY vocabulary.I want to be a sister to my sister, a woman wise when choosing my mate or a date. I want to be able to cook greens, barbecue chicken, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, a peach cobbler and a lemon pound cake all at the same time.

I want to come back a BLACK WOMAN with self-esteem, worthy of being treated like a QUEEN by my King, a woman with patience, love, and wisdom for children, A BLACK WOMAN with subscriptions to Essence, Jet, Ebony, Black Enterprise, and the Wall Street Journal.I want to come back a BLACK WOMAN with at least one great diamond from the Motherland on my finger.I want to come back with the quiet courage of Rosa Parks, the voice of EllaFitzgerald, the political courage of Ida B. Wells, the determination of Harriet Tubman, spiritual poise of Susan L. Taylor, the business savvy of Oprah Winfrey, the eloquence of Dr. Maya Angelou, and be the author of bestseller books like Iyanla Vanzant.

I want to come back as a BLACK WOMAN, who can stay focused on GOD regardless of the circumstances. I want to be SAVED from the penalty of sin.I want to never let what a person says, or does, change my demeanor. I want to be humble, and to love and be loved unconditionally.I want skin that is flawless and soft, eyes of discernment, and lips that speak ONLY the truth. I want hands of gentleness and feet of prosperity. I want to be a lawyer to enforce the laws which man has broken.If reincarnation is real, please let me come back as a BLACK WOMAN!!!"

BLACK WOMEN ARE WONDERFUL

Tukumbuke Waliovyofanya - Greensboro Four

February ni Black History Month yaani mwezi wa kukumbuka historia ya weusi Marekani. Kwa wakati huu ni muhimu sana tukumbushe vijana wetu historia ya weusi Marekani...utumwa, ubaguzi na vitendo vya uonevu na mauaji.

Wadau, hapa Marekani siku hizi tumezoea kwenda madukani na kwenye migahawa na kuhudumiwa bila matitizo. Haikuwa hivyo siku zote. Mpaka miaka ya 1960's kulikuwa na sehemu ambazo weusi walikuwa hawahudumiwi. Walikuwa hawaruhusiwi kula chakula katika migahawa, kulikuwa na mabango 'Whites Only' (Wazungu Tu). Kama walikuwa wanahudumia weusi basi ilibidi waende nyuma ya jengo na kupewa chakula kwenye mfuko, huko si ajabu wazungu waliitemea mate na kuiweka mikojo, mavi na uchafu mwingine.

Greensboro Four walikuwa vijana weusi wanne waliokuwa wanasoma katika Chuo Kikuu cha North Carolina A & T. Siku ya Februari mosi mwaka 1960, waliamua kwenda kukaa katika sehemu ya wazungu kwenye duka la Woolworth's na kudai wahudumiwe. Walisema kwa nini hapo dukani wanauuzia weusi mahitaji, lakini hawawezi kuwaruhusu kukaa kunywa kahawa na kula chakula hapo. Kwanza weusi wenzao waliwaona wajinga na wapuuzi, lakini wengine walijiunga nao na mwisho migomo iliandaliwa katika miji15! Hatimaye ilibidi rais wa wakati huo Rais Dwight D. Eisenhower aiingilie! Hatimaye Woolworth's waliruhusu weusi kula hapo.

Ndugu weusi wa John McCain

Wadau, kama mnavyofahamu Senator John McCain anayegombea urais wa Marekani kupitia chama cha Republicans aliwahi kukana kuwa ana ndugu weusi. Aliwahi kusema hana ndugu mweusi hata moja na familia yake hawakuwa na watumwa! McCain anakataa lakini mbona ndugu zake wengine wanakubali kuwa wana ndugu weusi?

Kama mnaelewa historia ya utumwa hapa Marekani ni vigumu kwa wazungu ambao ndugu zao walikuja Marekani hapo zamani za kale kusema kuwa ndugu zao hawakuwa na watumwa. Labda kama walikuwa kwenye mikoa ya kaskazini hapa Marekani kama Massachusetts na New Hampshire. Wenye ndugu waliotoka kusini mwa Marekani lazima walikuwa na watumwa. Na hao watumwa walichukua majina ya ma slave masters wao.

Wiki hii CNN na magazeti mengine wamefichua siri yake. Sijui wale crackers wabaguzi watasema nini sasa! LOL! Kumbe mtu wao mweupe an ndugu weusi! Tuna cheka mpaka mbavu hatuna!

David Neiwart kutoka, "Crooks & Liars" kaandika:

"So it's perhaps not a surprise that, given the chance to banish that cloud by doing the human thing, the right thing, and embracing the black side of the McCain family, the Straight Talking Senator From Arizona chose essentially to run from them and hide. Because acknowledging them not only was too painful, but might prove too harmful to his chances of success in a political party predicated on white privilege.
Moreover, this also fits what we know about his reflexive predisposition on civil-rights matters. This is, after all, the guy who voted against a Martin Luther King holiday back in 1984."
