This is a blog to provide information, encouragement, and love for my people. Everyone is asked to please be courteous and please limit your cussing to acronyms.
I want to start by quoting Harriet Tubman. No, not "I could have freed a thousand more if they only knew they were slaves," although Black people who suffer from what Dorothy Tillman calls PTSS (Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome) do not yet know that they are slaves. No, rather I have a quote that is not often cited: "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars and change the world".
So, every one of us has a great dream and is not a victim if we reach for the stars, stick together as a cohesive group and change the world. Didn't we get Joe Biden nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate? Aren't we the backbone of the Democratic party, although we don't get much back for being so? Can't we come together when we want to get anything we want to be done: McDonald killer convicted; Kim Foxx elected and reelected; and all the small victories we have in our own neighborhoods. Mine is that I have lived in this neighborhood, same house, from the ghetto to the slums, to the low-end, to Bronzeville. Now, I can take the bars off the windows because police protection has changed. My neighbors and I actually complain and get things done together. We matter! We are not victims!
So as the debut of this blog, I would like for anyone reading to respond with incidents that prove we are not victims. In the next blog, I will talk education, with a few statistics and a few suggestiions to curb our victim mentality, because WE ARE NOT VICTIMS, we are dreamers and can change the world.
