    The only things I'm afraid of are:

    -being buried alive
    -something happening to my mother or brother
    -dying before my mother or after my brother

    That's it.

    I deal with it by praying for my mother and brother everyday. That's all you can do. As far as being a black man goes, I'm not afraid of anything that has to do with that.

    deep regions in a shallow world

    My Blessed Sister Queenie, surely with these question you are stirring and staring deep into the soul of a Black man. If anyone has the right surely, you do (Black woman).

    But, pray tell, why do you ask such.

    Peace and Love,

    Brother Sun Ship

    i fear that black people will never "get it".
    my hope has been that i live to see another time like the sixties before i die.

    i'm afraid that won't happen.

    As a Black Man, I have many fears:

    I fear that:

    When I die, everything that I worked hard for will never pay off.

    My family will not be so safe as long as White America hold every inch of power in this country.

    Black folks will only continue killing eachother until there are not enough of us left.

    Once day, when I become as prestigious as they come, soemone will step to my door and threaten my life, my family's life, and the people around me.

    Sometimes I fear that when I get to Heaven, God has a surprise for me for all of the sins that were not washed away from me.

    Not anyone will pick up where I left off when I pass on.

    If I do not play my part in the struggle for Black power, black folks will never reach the top.

    Our communities will be destroyed along with us if we continue to allow poison in them.

    By the end of this decade, almost every prison will be crowded of innocent Young Black Men.

    Not many people will step up and end the degradation of the sistahs.

    That's all for now. However, I will count on God to be with us everyday until then end, and I will have FAITH in God to believe that this will never happen.
