BlAcK hIsToRy MoNtH

It's Black History Month! I would just like to say that we as a people have come a very long way, however, there is still progress that needs to be made.
The Black Community, in my opinion, is still suffering.
We have to the past go and start making changes for our future.
The excuse, "The white man's holding us back," is no longer acceptable.
Slavery was abolished in 1865, and yes racism is STILL alive!
But we have to consider all the other options and opportunities that we have, that most of our ancestors did not.
We also need to show our ancestors some respect by not bad mouthing other races or settling for less.
Yes, some of us are STILL judged by our skin color, but we cannot let that hinder us from becoming better people.
My friend SNOOPY, pointed something out to me; we have a month to pay homage, honor and respect to the black community and history, while other races do not; (well not familiar).
That in its self is an award.
We have to first start loving ourselves and realizing that regardless of what statistics say, we will and CAN do much better!
We have to stop falling into stereotypes; other races sometimes believe these stereotypes wholeheartedly.
We have to remain humble and meek, and follow God's instructions.
Because at the end of the day we're all here, trying to make it up in the sky :)

stay encouraged, positive, and unique..
