I'd rejoice in knowing exactly who my ancestors were! : JUSBMEE

I’d rejoice in knowing exactly who my ancestors were and where they came from. However, that is an impossible task to complete.

Why? My ancestors were property and not considered …a human-being! Shackled and made to feel inferior for being born BLACK.

Listed in slave owners…wills along with the furniture, pigs, cows, dogs, and such! Families were broken up due to ownership of the enslavers.

(Yes, I found my Great, Great Great Grandfather in his slave owner’s will.)

They were not allowed to learn to read or write; why? Because of the threat! See, a smart Nigger wouldn’t buy into the shit coming at them.

And to add insult to injury… the women were used to provide relief for sex-craved slave owners who impregnated them.

(Which is why my DNA is not 100 percent African.)

As much as I want to cuss and beat the shit out of anyone that doesn’t want to hear about slavery and the horrible things it created…I will not do so.

However, I will tell your ass this; YOU CAN RUN, DODGE THE TRUTH…BUT IN THE END, THE TRUTH WILL NOT BE SUGAR-COATED, DRESSED DOWN, AND COVERED UP TO KEEP YOUR CHILDREN FROM LEARNING JUST HOW HATEFUL and deceitful their ancestors were.

And how greed fueled the need to enslave AFRICANS, who were bought or stolen from their homeland and transported to an unfamiliar place.

So, don’t tell me what the hell you don’t want your dam children to learn or how they are being made to feel inferior, hell people of color have felt that pain for decades.

Hell, 400 years of it.

Finally…

Critical race theory (CRT), intellectual and social movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of color.

Critical race theorists hold that racism is inherent in the law and legal institutions of the United States as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans.

Critical race theorists are generally dedicated to applying their understanding of the institutional or structural nature of racism to the concrete (if distant) goal of eliminating all race-based and other unjust hierarchies.

So…as far as I’m concerned, it’s past time for A CHANGE IN YOUR THOUGHT PATTERN.
