Oh, that's easy. The promises that America that it made at its inception. The promise of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. We all know that we have been struggling to make that a reality for African-Americans. And the discussion is about how to make that real.
peace,
no disrespect intended, but do you have any of that that was promised to you? Do any of our people? When you are driving down the street and you hear a siren, do you grab the wheel tighter?
you see it's not so easy!
you are talking about a promise that was made to THEMSELVES while we were slaves.. in 1776 were you free brother? don't they despise your life? do they not deny you liberty? do they not set up road blocks everytime they see you pursuing your means to hapiness?
I don't know who "we" is that has been pursuing that goal that you speak of because i can only speak for me...I for one am not pursuing that goal for it does not exist in that context!!
I am because i know who i am and empty words written on a piece of worthless paper by one who seeks to imitate me not will fool me into thinking i only have life, libery and happiness because of that same piece worthless piece of paper written (something foreign to our enemy until our 19th dynasy & only 1 book was finally produced by Homer @ this True Eye Master Equality)......
Paper (papyrus), a word they got from us as well as ink (somebody help me with the original term for ink please it escapes me write now) and word (logos).
as KRS-ONE said in a video posted in another thread recently:
"i don't need hope, i have knowledge of self"
