We are who we are!
As a people i think our first emotion is to be compassionate, but experience has taught many of us how to block it. Some of us don't want that fire energy which is so prevalent in non-Blacks. We really have to be careful how we use our fire energy because we can become that which we oppose.
It's funny how many non-Blacks around the world hate who we are, yet they're always watching, studying, and often times imitating that spiritual soul which we possess. I'm growing to a point where i will no longer let others feelings of me detour me from the soul that i am. And in the same vein, i will also protect myself as much as i can.
