Peace and Blessings Family,
What information do we have, that has not come from white people?
We spend so much time arguing with each other, and i'm thinking, it's almost all based on what white folk told us.
For example ... even the Pert Em Heru / Kemetian Texts is based (to some degree) on what E.A. Wallis Budge said ... a white man.
If we're not fighting about what white folk have told us, or information they granted us access to ... we're fighting each other over some "he said she said" ish.
They aren't fighting over what we say. In fact, they built into their system, justice, steps we can go through ... oftentimes leaving us tired, broke, and incarcerated.
But we will fight each other, over what another man / woman has told us. We aint witness nuth'n, but we ready to fight each other. We have no hard evidence to put on the table, but we'll expend inordinate amounts of time, attempting to prove each other wrong.
It's krazee Family. It makes no sense to me. Not when we all KNOW the injustices we face as a people, at the hand of others. Yeah, everybody, every group of people, have their issues ... but none have the issues we do ... for we have to bear the weight of their burden upon us, as well as our own.
It seems to me we would mitigate our losses. Begin to realize, that we need each other, and should learn to lean on, stand up for, and fight for, each other. We can at least attempt to level the playing field, bringing our united strength to fight those who think we will forever carry their burden and ours.
But rather than us doing that ... we fight over information they gave us!
Anyway ... i think i'm rambling ...
All of this makes me wonder, what or who ... Black ... is providing us "straight from the source" information? And what is that information?
Help me please, if you can.
Thanks.
