What Does the Black Man Fear? Very Good question. What is fear? Fear according to Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary of the English Language,...Fear:An emotion excited by Threatening evil or impending pain,accompanied by a desire to avoid or escape it. Harriet Tubman had to shoot and kill her own brother because he became "fearful" and wanted to turn back to "Slavery". She told him,"No you don't *****,you com dis fa an you goin all de way or I'll kill you, you ain't gon go back an let yo massa beat the truth out you and you tells him wars wea goin,..he (Her Brother) started to run and Harriet (Mother of the Underground Rail-Road to Freedom) took out her 45 and shot him dead. In some African tribes a pratice that still goes on to this day, for a young boy becoming of age, to prove his "Man-Hood" he has to go out alone in the jungle to "Kill" a Lion. Here in America the ex-slaves don't have any such ancient rituals of any kind to teach our young men,it is a "hit or miss" life style. "In a true man,(Man means Mind) there is no room (Or Place) for fear", except for G-d alone. "Behold the only thing that is greater than your self". Brothers and Sisters Sincerely
