BLACK, BROKEN, BUT NOT DEFEATED!!!
We have come along
way from years of bondage to positions of leadership! But how did we get here?
We had to reject the false identity forced on us, we rejected the stereotype, dark skin is inferior, we rejected status
quo and lower living standards, we fought for equal rights and the
opportunity to vote. We believed we are more than capable to lead, manage and
own businesses. We out-performed & continue to perform in every arena that we focus all strengths, wisdom & passions, regardless if, our professions are accepted or not. We want to be the most
successful, fiercest, strongest, and wisest, even among our piers, But some of
us are, still, mentally trapped in the unfair treatment of the past.
Some of us say "The man is holding us down and has set up X,Y,Z to fail us". Or "We are being institutionalized for profit and being murdered by unwarranted fear!" Even if all accusations are true, we still have to decide how to progress as a people! If we invest in each other and not only in other institutions (Brands, Entertainment, Luxuries) then anything is possible! Some of us depend heavily on the government social systems and even manipulate it but this mentality dishonorable & unacceptable because we are stronger than hand outs! (Out ancestors would've been ashamed)

The institutions to support our children are failing due to poor public education, lack of
financial sponsorship (Black owned learning institutions) and lack stronger & healthier social programs for children!(Non government)
Too many of us have climbed the fame and
rich ladder and have forgotten our people's struggle.
We always have to look back to know where were going but its extremely important not to hold grudgingly, fueled with hatred & rejection.

A new platform with pillars of prominent and
financial secured leaders can build a common bridge to other reformed platforms whom lack understanding of the struggle!
Only unconditional love can establish a promising future for our people and the only way to demonstrate this kind of love is only by the Grace and Mercies of Jesus Christ. No other avenue, system, method or faith works because only by the power of the Holy Spirit can change the heart of a broken, unforgiving and hardened heart! Every other method will be temporary & misguided, due to the temptations of the heart and the desires of iniquity, are just too overwhelming. Satan (The adversary) uses every form of evil to create hatred between men/women (Nothing new under the sun!)
He has successfully used hatred, bigotry, jealously, self hatred,(I'm not God enough) self promotion (I'm better than everyone else) self worship), idolatry, pride of perfection, vanity, covetousness, fear, insecurities, deception, divorce, dehumanization, bullying, sexual defilement, unnatural acts, offenses and endless mental illnesses!

Be Blessed & Be
