if we had not had problems before, we would not have wanted to help others do the dirt to us that has been done.
if the foregoing has any merit then one must consider that there was something atrocious enough to merit such radical departures from acceptable behavior.
"what are they?" "how do they apply today?"
i offer this for consideration:
what have Africans ever been allowed to maintain that was soley for our benefit since we "arrived" in this country? how, then, to explain the noi? mightn't this be considered yet another "religion of the oppressors"? did this religion originate with Africans? or was it imposed?
most times i feel like what we "Africans: Lost In AmeriKKKa" have been experiencing is yet another round of the same crap. i think it has happened to us before and that this one happened before we had recovered from the last one. and then i wonder if/how many there were before that one.
but then i remember that we are still here!!!
FWIW - i have less and less ability to even understand what you are talking about.
however, since you ususually post in some kind of hostile or sarcastic manner toward me i have little incentive to try.
